DRYLAWFLOUTING BLAMEDONG.0.P. Democratic Women Told Re- publican Corruption Has Put Act in Disrespect. The present “widespread disrespect for the prohibition law” was blamed on corruption of Republican adminis- trations by Huston Thompson of Colo- rado, former chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, who addressed the convention of the National Woman's Democratic Law Enforcement League at the Mayflower Hotel here tods Thowpson, who was introduced by Mrs., Jesse W. Nicholson, president of the league, as *a presidential or vice presidential poseibility,” urged the women to turn the Republicans out of office “and give prohibition eight vears' trial under the Demo- crats,” adding, “If it breaks down then, let us consider doing away with the Volstead act.” 5 ot ng the Republicans & mf"::'flufim ihe Jaw, Thompson said that the records of the trial of former Attorney General Hafey M. Daugherty showed that all liqué# seized in rai about Washington Wi taken to the Department of Justice and there “was divided and the cheapest taken to the cellar, some put in storage, and the rest distributed among high officials of Government.” Charge Brings Hisses. Hisses and cries of “Shamel” lowed this statement. Thompson criticized the attitude of “a govermor of A great State”’ favor- . ing a State referendum on the Vol- stead act, and said such a plan was impotsible under the present form of sovernment. “We muse - substitute some other government,before we can deviate from or nuilify ihe present Constitution,” he declared. He said he had neves heard a practical plan’ for modifving the Vol- stead act, predicted defe for the Democratic party on a medification platformm and urged ‘the dry women to “stand‘by ‘theif guns.” The convention will close tonight with a meeting at which prizes will be awarded for the best slogan for the Democratic campaign submitted in the contest held by the Woman YVoter a few months ago. Senator Heflin, Democrat, of Alabama will be the principal speaker. Several hun- dred delegates were registered at the convention today. Mrs. Edgar Alexander of Georgia @eclared that Southern women would mot support “a candidate not true to the high ideals of the Constitution” and urged the nomination of a South. ern Democrat. Mrs. Clem Shaver of West Virginia, wife of the chairman of the Demo- cratic national committee, said the plight of Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray and the details of their crime make the best possible argument for prohi- bition. Murder Laid to Whisky. *Nothing but whisky made Mrs. Snyder and Gray lose all moral re- straint.” she declared, “and the press, ‘wet, dry or indifferent, was uncon- sciously preaching prohibition when it blazoned their story on the front page.” The Democratic party should help %o prevent such crimes, she said, by upholding the Constitution and *‘mak. ing patriotism someting more than a ‘word to roll around the tongue on the Fourth of July and the twenty-second of February Maj.

THREE FOUND DEAD IN PLANE WRECK Service Men’s Craft, Lost Three Days, Crashed Sunday in Sparse New York Region. By the Associated Press. CANAJOHARIE, N. Y., January 10.—The wreckage of an alrplane which has been missing from Mineola, Long Island, since Sunday afternoon and the bodies of its three passengers were found in a fleild seven miles southeast of here today. Indications were that the plane crashed in a fog. The victims were Lieut. George R. Benedict, Curtis Field fiyer; Raymond Henries, Buffalo, pilot, d Capt. Edward M. Pauley, Albany, aviator. The fog was so thick all Sunday afternoon and yesterday that, although the aircraft crashed within 100 yards of the farmhouse occupied by J. E. Bartlett, no one in the vicinity knew of the disaster until Sherift E. Sheehan of Montgomery County, head- ing a party of searchers, located the wreckage when the mists cleared this morning. Buried Under Wreck. The bodies of two of the men were buried under the wreckage. That of the third mas was found about 40 feot away. The wreckage of the plane was strewn along a course of about 100 vards. The spot where the plane crashed is about 1 mile west of Rural Gro and 7 miles from this village. The region is sparsely settled. Radio plaved a prominent part in the mearch for the missing craft, a Fairchild monoplane, which took off from Mineola for Buffalo on Sunday. Station WGY of Schenectady last night broadcast the news that the plane was missing. Begins Search. Shortly afterward several listeners- in near Rural Grove reported having heard the drone of an airplane motor Sunday afternoon, followed by a sound like a crash. Sheriff Sheehan and & party of searchers spent the night ploring nearby woods and flelds. Henries and Lieut Benedict were Ahoard the plane when it left Mineola. Stopping at Albany, they took Capt. Pauley ahoard, and then headed to- ward Buffalo. The plane was sighted over Schenectady and Fonda shortly afterward, and then all trace of it was lost, . Apparently the plane was coming from the northeast when it struck a small hummock of earth, bounded in the air and hit the earth aga'h, only to rebound once more, clearing a wire 1o without breaking a strand of wire. 80 great was the impact that the Wright Whirlwind motors were torn apart. One cylinder was found 200 feet from the crumbled ball of vas and metal that had once been an airplane, and another was found 150 feot away. o Church Plans 16-Story Building.

Prominence Given Notable Jurist Arouses Fears of Anti-League Group. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM W Anti-League of Nations members of the United States Senate will probably | have an attack of “nerves” when they | learn that one of the judges of the| “Permanent Court of International Justice"—the maligned and mistrusted World Court—will be president of the impending Pan-American Conference. He is Senor Dr. Sanchez Antonio de Bustamente, Cuba's most famous in- ternational lawyer. Dr. de Bustamente will accede to the chairmanship of the Havana conference by reason of being chief of the Cuban delegation there. He will be one of the privileged few to meet the President and Mrs. Coolidge at dinner in President achado’s palace next Monday evening. Dr. de Bustamente has heen one of the “regular” or “titular” judges of the World Court ever since its organi- zation in 1921. Though the United States {s not a member of the League of Nations, an American jurist, John Bassett Moore, is one of the court's judges. A second Latin American judge is Senor Epitacio da Silva, for- mer president of the Brazilian Repub- lic and of its federal tribunal. No one in Washington thinks of at. tributing any particular significance to the circumstance that one of the judges of “the League Court,” as its foes dub it, will preside over the Pan. American Conference. Dr. de Busta- mente. who is well known in the United States, ranks too high as a Jurist and statesman to lead anybody to question his integrity in the re. sponsible role he is about to enact at Havana. Even though Latin America’s League afliations will not formally figure in the Pan-American Conter- ence, they are an enduringly ticklish question, from the United States’ standpoint.

Perh: the greatest result of these labors has been the proof obtained that the radiation from the sun varies from day to day and from year to year in cycles closely associated with sun spots. There is now reason to believe, Dr. Abbot states, that this variation has an important influence on the weather, and with the aid of three solar observatories on high mountains {n different hemispheres, he is pushing investigations to dis- cover the relationship in the hope that long-range weather forecasting will be made posaible.

It cost us $12,000 to print. There is urgent need for more volumes of this sort, but the (Government cannot be expected to provide the money with which to do it. The Government very generously contributes to the support of the Museum, thé Zoolog!- cal Park and the other branches of & semi-public nature, but we must look to private capital for support :f the larger things we expect to o. “A policy for the encouragement of this private support was laid down at a meeting of the regents several months ago.

It was not the first Latin American occasion of the sort. But to date the league as a body has fought shy of intruding upon Western Hemisphere affairs, doubtiess because of the Monroe Doctrine restriction written into the original “covenant” by President Wilson. But European dispatches during the past 48 hours have pointed out that “the idea of referring Latin American dicputes to ithe League has not heen abandoned.” | World Court Foes Aroused. Dr. d prominency Bustamente's imminent 2 ne point to the re- vived fears of World Court opponents at Washington that the “menace” of American adhesion is by no means laid. Representative Tinkham, Re- publican, of Massachusetts, possibly the most restless anti-leaguer of them all, has just moved to have printed as a public document extracts from Dr. David Jayne Hill's new book. “The Problem of a World Court.” Mr. Tinkham feels that the “World Court propaganda.” richly endowed and grimly determined, is still to be reckoned with, and refers to the recent petition submitted to Presi- dent Coolidge, urging anew that the United States enter the court. Dr. Hill, a confirmed bellever in international arbitration and author of the original instructions on that score to the American deiegation at the first Hague peace conference. holds that the World Court is in fact a “League Court.” He declares it has had placed upon it certain limita. tions of action “which definitively make it a League Court.” Dr. Hill is therefore opposed to American entry except under the very drastic reservations which the Senate adopted, but which were mnot ac- ceptable to the League.

Many people know too little abou the canal and too many do mot krow any more about Panama. Not mar people appreciate the part Panama plaved in making the canal possidie.
