i m CHURCHMAN URGES ORYLAWBE UPHELD Chasassne ‘M. E. Board Secretary Rec-f :ommends Prohibition Viola- | * tion Be Declared a Felony. | | | By the Assoclated Press. Greater penalties for violations of the Jiquor law were urged today by Clarence | | True Wilson, general secretary of the | Board of Temperance, Prohibition and | Public Morals of the Methodist Epis- ! <opal Church, in his report to the annual meeting of the board of man- agers of his organization He advdcated passage of the Stalker bill, which would make prohibition vio- Jation a felony. Deets Pickett, research secretary, in his report said that prohibition senti- ment was growing and declared that, while bootlegging was a distressing problem in the United States, it avas not comparable to the evil result- ing from the legalized sale of liquor in England, Belgium and France. Both men were warm in their praise | of J. M. Doran, prohibition commis- sioner. Dr. Wilson Defends Congress. Dr. Wilson said, “We now hear talk of removing the prohibition unit from the Treasury Department to the De- partment of Justice.” He declared that the propriety of such | @ transfer was doubtful and said, “Our | present embarrassment is not so much | to get activity on the part of the pro- | thibition unit as to secure the prnmpr‘ hearing of cases, efficient prosecutions and judicial justice. | He urged a revision of the present | enti-smuggling treaty with Canada and | ‘efended Senators and Representatives. | “I want to protest against the slan- der assiduously circulated by wet in- terests that ‘if our Senators and | Representatives voted as they drink we'd get rid of prohibition,’” he said. | “A fling llke that is misrepresenting | facts.” THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, C., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1928 $100 Gift Makes “Conscience Fund” Total $568,194.61 By the Associated Press. One hundred dollars received by the Secretary of the Treasury in an envelope postmarked Leg- ington, Ky, was added to the “conscience fund” yesterday, sending the total of that fund to $568,194 61. Thousands of such contribu- tions have been received since the fund was inaugurated in 1811. ually there is received three, four or five thousand dollars a year from persons who desire to repay the Government for some- thing, but do not wish to divulge their identity. Eventually the money reaches the general fund of the Govern- ment. “the press and politicians almost uni- | versally voiced nothing but ridicule and contempt_for the ‘American noble ex- periment,’ today we find here and there a leader who does not hesitate tq, s that his country must, for its own'sal vation, follow the American lead, while many hundreds of others are signifi- cantly silent.” He gave to the board what he said was a_summary of the election results. declaring that the prohibition majority had been increased by 11 in the House of Representatives and by 8 in_the Senate, and that no dry member of the Senate’ was defeated by a wet. “The probable dry strength in the | House of Representatives is 329" he caid, “and in the United States Senate, 78." He declared there had been a great deal of loose criticism of newspapers and the news agencies. “Our organization has no complaint,” he said. “Even the great metropolitan dailies which are bitterly opposed to prohibition, have, in the main, givén us a fair deal in their news columns.” BELGIANS FLEE FLOOD.
