BAR ASSOCIATION VOTES 70 CONTINUE DRY REFERENDUM Prohibition Poll Opponents Lose Convention Fight in Chicago. . 80,000 MEMBERS ASKED TO GIVE REPEAL VIEWS Letters to Lawyers, uthorized Last January, Given Support of Executive Committee. By the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, August 20.—The Ameri- can Bar Association today voted to continue its membership prohibition referendum. The action was taken at the first plenary session of the or- ganization's sixty-third convention, after opponents of the prohibition poll had taken to the floor their fight to have it abandoned. Leaders of the opposition, organized yesterday, used the argument that pro- hibition is now a question of national policy and not a legal matter that should come before the bar association. 30,000 Members Given Questions. The referendum, authorized by the Executive Committee last January, con- sisted of two questions and went to the 30,000 members through the mails. They were: “Do you favor a referendum on the repeal of the eighteenth amendment? “Should the American Bar Asso- ciation go on record as favoring the Tepeal of the eighteenth amendment?” ‘There are separate envelopes for the Teplies. If the first question shows a ty unfavorable to the referendum, the second set of envelopes will be favorable, the open the second set some time this Fall and announce the result. It was understood that the action of th executive committee yesterday in refusing to withdraw the referendum ‘was unanimous. Some of the leaders of the delegates opposed to the poll were J Andrew A. Bruce of Northwestern University; Judge John Weston Allen of Boston, Judge .Frederick F. Faville of Des Moines. Iowa, and George Wilson of Quincy, T, prominent Anti-Saloon League leader.

CHICAGO, August 20.—Uncut dia- monds, reported to be valued at $150,- 000 were hunted today in the ffth treasure trove of Jack Zuta, slain gang chief, whose recently discovered records have already brought to light multiple transactions between gangsters and public officials. Existence of the cache was set out in the Zuta papers seized by investi- gators late yesterday. The gems were reported to have been "taken in a series of hold-ups of jewelry salesmen on Chicago streets and given to Zuta for safe keeping. A salesman for an eastern jewelry | firm, who refused to reveal his identity, appeared at the investigation headquar- ters today and conferred with Pat Roche, chief investigator for the State's attorneys office, and Charles F. Rath- bun, special assistant State’s attorney. Writ to Be Asked. Efforts were made immediately to ob- tain a search warrent from Municipal Judge John H. Lyle, avowed nemesis of “mobsmen,” preparatory to obtaining the hidden treasure chest. Roche declined to divulge his plans, but informed the press that he “would have something for them later." Before entering . the conference the jewelry salesman told reporters he was on the trail of the stolen diamonds in the belief they were the property of his company, and admitted their value would approximate $150,000.

Bringing of natural gas to Washington is being discussed at a conference this afternoon by officials of the Washington Gas Light Co. with the Public Utilities Commission. President George A. G. Wood telephoned this morning and asked for the appointment. He did not state to the commission what would he the subject of the conference, but it was stated later at his office that the discussion would center around natural its customers with carburetted water gas. The commission had been expecting a communication from the gas company dealing with a proposed reduction of rates, but according to information at Mr. Wood’s office this matter will not be taken up today. It is expected that the reduced rate schedule will be offered to the commission before the end of the month, however. First Definite Step. Although there has been much dis- cussion of the possible advent of na- ence is the first substantial intima- tion that it is on the way. Piping 1t here would involve a line several hundred miles long. Although there is natural gas as near &s Getts- burgh, Pa. (82 miles), it is belleved that the supply for Washington would have to come directly from some heavy produc field. Natural gas has a much higher heat- ing content than the water gas now in use here, and it could be con- siderably diluted before being sold, and still be as satisfactory as present product. In previous utterances, Mr. Wood has given out the hint that his company is not so much interested in natural gas as in by-product gas, which is obtained by the distillation of coal. This gives off the illuminating gas and leaves coke as a by-product. A market would have to be develo] nearby for the coke, and the plant for this type of manufacture would have to be placsd out of town. Open Mind On Product. Mr. Wood has sald that his mind was not closed to natural gas and that if ke could be assured that Washington could get a supply of it that would not be subject to embarrassing interrup- tlons, and if it would give as good serv- ice to the public as the plant’s present product, he would be ‘tslln. to try it out present overtures seem to indicate that such a supply has been assured.

BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Chemists of the National Institute of Health and of the Prohibition Bureau have obtained small quantities of what is apparently a new poison, hitherto unknown in the world, with a strange- ly specific action on men and animals, after analyses exten over four months of samples of Jamaica ginger extracts which caused the so-called “jake paralysis” in thousands of per- sons scattered over the country this Spring. The new poison is described as a “cresol-phosphoric acid-ester.” Its exact chemical nature remains unknown and is the object of further research. The remarkable feature of the substance is the specificity of its action on the human body. It attacks directly and solely, the experiments indicate, the lower motor neurons, whose cell bodies are in the spinal cord. But its action seems restricted to those neurons which control the distal muscles of the ex- tremities—that is, those of the hands and feet. The rest of the nerve cells and other body cells are left unaffected. Few known poisons act so specifieally, ARPLANES GIVEUP SEARCH FORBLACK Heavy Tide and Currents Leave Scant Hope Body of Publisher Near Shore. By the Associated Press.
