DRY LAW FORCES 10 EXTEND LINES Transfer of Industrial Alco- hol Contract Is Among Objects in View. . Regulations transfes industrial alcohol from Revenue Service to the Prohibition Enforcement Unit are among the many bits of prohibition enforcement legislation that will be considered by Uongress when it reassembles. Wayne B. Wheeler today sum marized in a statement some of the measures that will be pushed for pass- age. “One of the first bills to be intro- duced and pushed for final passage will be the civil service bill for prohi bition agents id the statement. “Both political parties have indorsed this measure and so have all the pro. hibition organizations, the Civil Serv- ice Reform League and other civic or ganizations. It passed the House by a large majority as a part of the Cramp. ton bill, but was held up by a fili buster in the Senate. When Senator Sterling offered an amendment to eliminate from the bill all the pro. visions except the civil service sec tlons, the filibuster continued and it faled of final passage May Not Press Crampton Bill. “Regulations are pending before the Treasury Department which will cover part of the provisions of the Crampton bill. I these are adopted and the trade co-operates in eliminat- & the crooks who are diverting in dustrial alcohol to beveraze uses, it is quite likely that the Crampton bill will not be pr ed. If, however, the present situation continues, le; i\Vlllinn» will be offered to stop the diversion of industrial alcohol and the other de- fects which the Crampton bill would have remedied % The Stalker bill to provide mini- mum penalties for violation of the na tional prohibition act will aljo be pressed for passage. It has the back- ing of practically ail the dry forces. Additional data, secured since the in- froduction of the bill shows the neces- sity for it. Information has been gathered from court dockets, where fines as low as 1 cent have been im- posed upon liquor law violators. proposed bill makes a d tween those who simply and the commercialized trade. “The bill to deport aliens who have bheen convicted of violating the nar- cotic and prohibition laws will also be urged for adoption. This bill provides proper safeguards against any in- justice that might be done to one who mmits an inadvertent violation of a regulation relating to liquor. After the con’ tion a charge n be filed and a hearing held before the Labor De- partment and the convicted person de- ported on the ground that he is an un- desirable citizen. Those who are back of the bill agree that any alien who can qualify under the law and comes here to better his condition should be given a welcome, but those who re- fuse to become citizens and join the ranks of liquor law breakers should be returned to the coun where they can respect the laws. Will Ask Navy's Help. 8 “If it is impossible for the Coast Guard to deal effectively with the rum-running situation a bill will doubt- less be introduced to authorize the President to use such ships of the Navy as are necessary to stop rum smuggling. This has been provided for with reference to other kinds of lawlessness, and it may be required for dealing with the rum-smuggling situ- ation, he ng control of the Internal n be- liquor committee on the alcoholic liquor traffic recommended that the Government take over the whisky now in bonded warehouses and have it sold under Government agencies. Many of the retail druggists and phy- sicians favor this method of dispensing non-beverage liquors. While there has been no unanimity of action on the part of temperance forces concerning this, yet such legislation may come up for consideration at the next session of Congres: MINISTERS. INJURED.

They are seek- ing, they said, a watchman who was on duty at the institute for about three weeks and who left, they be- lieve, about the time the jewels dis. appeared. Members of the art commission and officlals of the institute were in- clined to minimize the extent of the theft after it became public. Clyde H.

Police, on the other hand, estimated the value of the stones at thousands of dollars, but no detailed statement of the of the gems could be obtained. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE DECLARED HELPFUL Lecturer Says That Healing Is Linked Inseparably With True Salvation—Quotes Bible. A lecture on “Christian Science: The Truth About God, Man and the Universe,” was delivered last evening in First Church of Christ, Sclentist, by Willlam E. Brown, C. S. B, of Los Angeles. Mr. Brown is a mem- ber of the board of lectureship of the mother church, the First Church of Christ, Sclentist, in Boston. He was introduced by Elmer I. Baldwin, first reader of First Church of this city, under whose auspices the lecture was given. The lecturer said, in part: Support Is Seen. “Much that I have told you about salvation will recelve assent from those who do not yet know of Christian Science and who do not realize that the healing of sin, disease and all mortal discord s inseparably linked with true salvation: indeed, this healing constitutes the proof and assurance that we are working out our problem along correct lines. If one is in doubt as to the soundness of his spiritual convictions, all that is necessary is to ascertain what the Master declared upon this subject in His final instructions to His disciples, as recorded in the sixteenth chapter of Mark. Jesus said to them. when speaking of the healing of sin and disease, ‘And these signs shall follow them that believe.' Please note that He did not say that these signs might follow, or may follow, or )ccasionally follow, but that these signs shall follow, imperatively, definitely and unequivocally. These 'signs are to follow them that believe. Now is it not logical that if such signs do not follow religious bellef there must be something inadequate or incom- plete about such belief? “This measure of proof established by the Master is supplemented by a vigorous declaration of James, who said, ‘Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. .o . Shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.’ Aid for Mankind. “Christian Science has come to re- establish the Christianity of Jesus with its healing and redemptive work. The proof that it is doing this is evidenced by the ever-increasing numbers of erstwhile suffering and discordant mortals who now rejoice in_health and freedom. “Christian Science is now leavening thought in all the various activities of earth—in business, art, commerce and government. It is correcting and improving all the affairs of men, making better men and women, caus- ing them to conduct their lives in accord with divine principle. In so doing Christian Science is not only benefiting the individual, but also rapidly laying a foundation for the universal brotherhood of man, a pro- longed process possibly, but after all the only way to permanent harmony in_world affairs. “The early life of Mary Baker Eddy the discoverer and founder of Chris- tian Sclence, shows step by step how she was prepared through spiritual experiences to receive the revelation of what she later named Christian Science. Carefully reared and edu- cated in a Christian environment, she early_became an earnest student of the Bible, and had often wondered why its promises concerning healing were not being fulfilled in this age.” !

He cited the Associated Pre: as “a fine illustration that brothe can dwell together in unity.” “This organizition of more than 1,200 newspapers, representing diverse and divergent interests and aspira- tions,” he added, FORD MEETS O’CONNER.
