Doran, chemist, ih the prohibition unit, was called to the stand. Says Cookers Impracticable. In reply to Senator Reed, Mr. Doran said that he did not know of the use )t such cookers for {llicit distillery. iIs there any reason it can't be still, if a pipe is inserted at the top?” asked Senator Reed. UThe witness said he imagined that it used, but that he thought A or galvanized container, cost- ing 40 or 0 cents, instead of the caoker, costing 315 or #9, would more ely be used. Senator Rteed pressed Doran on the tion of the feasibility of making with the cooker, and Doran You have there a teceptacle which will not hold liguer and not a still.” Reed Tnsists It Will Work. {“You mean to tell me that this cgoker cannot be used a8 a still if a pipe is Inserted in the top?” demand. od Senator Reed. The witness said hat a condensing apparatus must be i60d along with it, and that prob- ibly the amount of alcohol s con- tained would be very weak. In theory, 16 said, the distillation by means of “He cooker might be all right, but as a practical thing 1t would not. He said that a_mere condensing pipe would not do the job, but that a rectification apparatus also was need- ed. He held up for the committee a copper stiil. Senator Reed inelsted that it would ba easy onough to equip the cooker and make & stil of it. Exhibits Charred Keg. Senator Reed produced a keg, capnble of holding a Next charred wallon. “Aren't these rold here in Washing-: ton in large quantities,” he demanded. ““There is no law to prevent it.” The witness said that he belleved that such kegs are sold here, but he that which the Constitution permits— liquor non-intoxicating in fact. Senator PBruce, Democrat, Marys land, declared that prohibitionists aid not know the difference between real criminality and artificial criminality. “That is Mussolini’s theory nd won't do in this country,” replied Senator Borah. The Maryland Senator charged Sen- ator Borah with inconsistency and in- sincerity, declaring that the Idaho Senator himself was author of a ref- erendum as to whether the people want light wines and beers that are not _Intoxicating. “I do not believe there is any con- ¢+ or sineerity behind the op- I | sisten { ponents of the Volstead act,” respond- | ed S¢nator Borah. ANDREW ATTACKED. Mrs. Peabody Says He Should Resign If Against Dry Law BOSTON, April 15 (®).—Gen Lin- coln C. Andrews, in charge of national prohibition enforcement, should re- sign if he Is not In agreement with the law he is set to enforce in the opinfon of Mr=. Henry W, Peabody of Beverly, chatrman of the women's national_commuittee for law enforce- ment. Mrs. Peabody who headed n delegation of women in support of the Volstead act at the Senate pro hibition hearing, arrived in Bos today. She criticised sharply the manner in which the hearing wa conducted. “I volce a feeling of indlgnation and protest that at a hearing of the Senate judiciary committee the time for witnesses was consumed in repe- tition of questions on the part of the Senator from Missourl to prove the case agolnst the pfesent law,” she sald Commenting upon the opinion of Gen. Andrews to the effect that the €ale of non-ntoxicating beer under striet control would improve condl tions, Mrs. Peabody said. “Gen. Andrews’ statement explains, in part, the criticlsm of his depart- wment. If he is not in agreement with the law which he is set to enforce, he to ba| wdded that he didn't know about there wing 1o law to prevent thelr sale. “Well, I do,” sald Senator Reed, ‘and they can bo wold.” He said the kags wera used to improve the liquor ilijeitly made. tor Reed held out a number of charred ocak sticks, which, he said, weére on sale at 4 lood] Btore.

The inference he drew was that it was bes ing used to make whisky. Doubts Use of Malt. A can of malt éxtract was produced by Senator Reed. “They make whisky out of this, do béy not?’ he asked Mr. Dorah. “T don't belleve they make whisky from alt extract, not spirituous ' replied the witness. reply 10 & question as to whether malt extract was being sold in vast 1 should resign.

Mr. Doran sald that he belleved that malt was belng used for making fer- mented liquors rather than distilled. Andrews Promises Data. Several small bottles containing es- sences for flavoring were offered by Senator Reed. ‘“‘Here is one labeled rye and another labeled ‘Holland,’” sald Senator Reed, “and still another ‘Bourbon. It doesn’t say ‘good old Bourbo: but I imagine it is to give the same flavor as Bourbon whisky.” Senator Reed sald that these es- sences were sold openly on the mar- ket and he asked if they were not used by the bootleggers to flavor the so-called whisky which they seil. “They may be 80 used, but I doubt if there is a very large use for such purposes,’” sald Mr. Doran. “Isn't the whisky sold by the boot leggers doctored up to taste liks asked Senator Reed. was the answer. Senator Reed obtained from Gen.| Andrews a promise to provide the committee with figures showing the production of grapes now and before prohibition in this country, and also the number of people killed or wound ed by prohibition agents and the Coast Guard and the actual amount of liquor seized by the Coast Guard and the prohibition unit. Admits Buying Information. “You sald yesterday, Gen. Andrews, that you frequently bought informa- ton from persons connected with the underworld,” sald Senator Reed. “If any one who did not have a criminal record offered to sell you information, would you buy it.” “Yes,” eald Gen, Andrews. “You have ‘snitchers’ who get in with the criminal element and who loarn who is making lquor, don't you?” asked Senator Reed. Gen, Andrews replied that such persons were employed only here and there. He sald that on going into a city like New York they “must have soms way of getting informatlos “You have never resorted to the practice of having neighbor spy on neighbor, have you?” asked Senator Reed. Denies Urging Women to Spy. “1 certainly have not,” replied Gen. Andrews. “f thought 1 had made it clear that tha purpose of natlonal en. forcement was bizger than that.” Senator Reed read from a news- paper article stating that Thomas B. Jarvis, Antl-Saloon League official in Ohio, had urged a group of women to act as spies upon thelr acquaintances, eaying that the more ‘‘nosey” the women were the better results they would obtain, and be able to get infor- mation that could be used against vio- lators of the liquér law. “Have you resorted to that method?” asked Senator Reed. “genator, vou know I have not,” sald Gen. Andrews. Mrs. Norton Speaks. “Ag an officer and a gentleman vou would not resort to that policy,” sald Senator Reed. “I congratulate you.” Representative Mary T. Norton of New Jersey, who testified she had Dbeen a welfare worker for 16 years In New Jersey and had gone into the fiomes of the people, told the commit- tee that she had not been able to find any improvement in conditions at all since prohibition. She said that in many instances she had found that men who formerly drank liquor now used drugs. “One woman told me. she gaid, “that formerly she had a drunken husband and now she had an insane one.” Bhe said that she had investi- gated and turned up & number of uch cases. " Have the morals of the people im- proved with prohibition?” asked Sena- tor Reed. \ “It has ruined a great many of our young people,” replied Mrs. Norton. “They carry hip flasks to parties. If 1 thought that prohibition would do what it was hoped I would be here today supporting it and not opposing it Mrs. Norton read extracts from a letter she sald she had received which ch: that bootleg whisky had been introduced into a hospital for the war veterans and had caused the death of some of the patien The letter sald that men had been caught with the goods, but that the commanding officer had falled to report them.

Callan of Baltimore, a house mechanic, who visits hundreds of houses for varlous real estate firms, testified that the first question which a real estate man asks a pro- spective tenant is: ‘““Are you a bootlegger?"” He said that he had entered a great many houses and found them wrecks in part by apparatus used to make liquor and home brew. “I am a total abstainer,” said the witness. “When we go to partles now I have to apologize for not sam- pling the home brew made by my hosts.” He said that the people in Baltimore are making home brew on a large scale. 'The other day, he said, his §.year-old boy had refused to play with another boy of the same age because the boy wanted his son to drink liquor he got from a candy store. RUM DEBATED IN SENATE.

Though human preparat s have been perfected, so far as mechanical skill and wise forethought make it possible, this great hazard of nature, which man's ingenuity has not wi overcome, can be only vaguely fore- cast by science. Last week Peter Kopilox plloted a big junker airplane through the low clouds and made & wobbly landing on the military aviation field outside of Moscow, after & battle against a sud- den Winter storm which was so s vere that it took him an hour and 45 minutes to negotiate 100 miles. The glow time 1s not especlally the polar | { fiight, since the fivers have allowed | ample time for delays in their 2,000- mile cruise from Spitzbergen to Point Barrow, Alaska. But the more serious fact is that the airplane during this short flight accumulated more than a ton of ice, unevenly distributed over the wings, and struggled along for the last few miles tlited at a rakish angle. The polar atrship not only offers a greater surface than an alfplane fo the accumulation of f{ce, but the buoyancy of lighterthanalr craft is extremely sensitive to the slightest change in cemperature. A iere fleeting cloud across the sun's face contracts the ship's displacement like a delicate mechanism. The ice and snow not ohty will ineres the ship's welght, therefore, but will decrease its buoyancy. A soggy gust of snow ted the ill-fated American dirigible Shenan- doah the evening it sailed into Call- fornla’s San Jacinto Valley on its memorable transcontinental flight, Though the airship was extremely light, having spent most of it fuel in a 856-hour flight from Fort Worth, Tex., it started dropping ke lead as a result of tne accumulated snow and the contracting gas. Fortunately, the snow provea only a flurry, and a mo. ment later the ship recovered its alti- tude. A similar experience was had on the return trip, when the Bhenan. doah met wu chill midnight breeze in Arizona. The ship, already lightened by many gallons of gasoline, was forced to jettison & ton more in order to maintain its altitude, Polar Regions Dangerous. During the war German Zeppelins | returning across the North Sea ac- cumulated burdens of frost and snow which placed them under a terrific handicap. 'The polar regions are abundantly supplied with such weath. | er conditions. Though there are five Russian meteorlogicat stations within the Arctic Circle, which will give the Norge all possible aid, there is a vast epace, equai to two-thirds the width of the Unlted States, between Spitz- bergen and Point Barrow, which the explorers must eall unwarned, trust. ing_their fate to fortune. The Amundsen party also must fly over uncharted ice floes, marked only by the unvarying shadows of the midnight sun on their hummocks, An airshlp, answering every cur- rent of wind, cannot steér an accu- rate compass course. Ordjnarily airig- ible flights follow’the course of rail- roads and rivers; with an occasional sign on a roof by day of the lights of a clty by night to guida them.

The: aca- demiclans are confident that the re- percussion of the explosion would be caught by the delicate selsmograph instruments of the Russian observa- tory here and would indicate definite- ly the spot where the party was awaiting rescue. According to information received from the farthest north of the Rus- sian meterorlogical stations, the Norge need not hurry to Leningrad, as it probably will not be able to start northward before the end of April because of weather conditions. Severe storms, with heavy snow and fog, are reported beyond Lake Onega. (Copyright, 1926, by C! Daily News Co.) VOYAGE IS TRIUMPH. King and Queen Lead 100,000 in Welcome to Norge.

After the 3,000-kilometer flight from Rome to Pulham in record time, Col. Nobile gave the immense airship no rest, only stopping at the British fleld long enough to take on the necéssary food, gas and oll, and, with the shouts of a large crowd which gathered despite the lateness of the hour, the Itallan dirigible gracefully ascended at 11 pm., exact, and left soon afterward. .

The present stage of the journey has presented certain difficuities, because there is no airdrome at Oslo. A mast had been prepared s to receive the Norge. 1t was only a few moments before ve took the alr at Pulham that the weather expert of our expedition re ived reports showing that three d of good weather could be expected. During the night, we made a speed of 100 kilometers an hours while below us an agitated sea surged and roared. At 6 o'clock Wednesday morning we saw the first land—Denmark—and a little later we made out the town of Limfjord. As we &peeded on to Oslo a heavy fog enveloped and completely blinded us. Nothing is more disturb- ing than an experience of this kind in air. This lasted about three hours, then finally the sun succeeded in pene. trating the fog and we recognized be- fore us the Norweglun coast. From this moment, the voyage of the Norge was one of triumph.

Weather Change Marked. At 12:30 p.m. Oslo came in sight and a soft Springlike atmosphere suc- ceeded the frigid one which we ex- perienced during the night, although &now could be seen on the mountain. side and the forests nearby. The Norge descended as low as pos- sible to salute the City of Oslo, al- ready on holiday for the occasion. We heard the military band playing before the royal palace, and on the grand stalrway of the palace we s with- out glasses, King Haakon VI himself.

Such a course would be sure to meet with opposition at the Capitol, also, it was pointed out, since Senators several months ago urged that the night parking light regulation be rigidly enforced, after the proposal of Commissioner Fen- ning that all-night parking be elim- inated was decided against. While the traflic director is open to suggestions on_ betterment of the traffic situation here, he feels that the fabric of traffic laws and regulations, erected by his predecessors and aug- mented by himself since he took office a little less than a year ago, should not be torn down without mature thought and considerable investiga- tion. He knows that he alone is re sponsible for the success or failure of the law, even though odministra- tion of the regulations is placed in the hands of the Police Department, over which he has no control. That the motorists of Washington have taken his appeal for suggestions on improvements literally was today by the number of telephone calls that came to his office following ):lm statement yesterday esking for ideas, Arrests Treble in Year. The Police Department today made publig a comparison of the arrests for violations of the traffic regulations ago, more than a month before the new traffic code became effective on May 3, 1925. It showed a total of 6,977 arrests last month, compared with 2,447 in March a year ago. To make the situation more impreseive, Mr. Eldridge pointed out that last month only three regulations were in effect which were not ir March, 1 These were riving, the hotse-drawn regul: ixteenth street und the truck regulation. Violation of parking-light re; tlons led the list of arrests with total of 2,058 in March, 1926, against 170 in March a year ago. The in crease in arrests for overtime parking was just as marked, however, the total jumping from 8 {n March last year to 1,017 last month. _Arrests for speeding increased from 757 in March, 1925, to 1,016 in March, 1926. Mr. Eldridge is expected back in ‘Washington Saturday. By that time the acting director hopes to have gone over the regulations so thoroughly that he can recommend elimination of some of thoss deemed unnecessary, SR NATION-WIDE PROBE OF GUARDIANSHIPS one-arm tion on d-tire ar investigation throughout the States will show gross waste of funds | intended for the World War sufferers.
