I ALBANY DRYS BEAT THREE RUM BILLS Senate Committee Rejects Modification Measures Passed by Assembly. By the Assoclated Press. ALBANY, N. Y, March 10.—Three bills designed to set in motion the ma- chinery to bring about a modification of the prohibition laws were defeated in the Judiciary Committee of the Senate today. The bills had previously passed the Assembly. The Assembly last night voted two of the bills out of committee. These were' a bill calling for a referendum of all the States on the attitude toward prohibition. Twelve Republicans voted With the Democrats on this measure. The other bill proposed the appoint- ment of a commission to determine a method of allowing the State of New York to manufacture and sell liquor, on the theory that the prohibition law did not prohibit & State, but merely an in- dividual, from such enterprise.” Demo- crats had the assistance of nine Repub- lican votes in_this action. Debate on the bills developed a quar- rel between the Democrats and Repub- licans when Willlam L. Marcy of Erie, a Republican Assemblyman, charged the Democrats were “ducking and dodging” the prohibition question, that they would be unable to meet the issue in_the| presidential election and that the Dem- ocrats were “a bunch of fakers.” The last remark brought upon his | head an avalanche of replies from Dem- ocratic members and a demand that the remark be stricken from the House records. L5 One Democrat, Louis A. Cuvillier of New York, known as the “wet cru- sader,” concurred with a Republican charge that Gov. Roosevelt was strad- dling the prohibition i 3 ¥ U. S. TO SEEK ORIGIN OF SOVIET LUMBER Shipment on Way Here, if From Area Barring Convict Labor, Can Be Landed. The Treasury Department will ascer- tain the origin of a shipment of Rus- sian lumber in order to decide whether it will be barred under the new tariff act. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lowman made this statement following word from Moscow that the steamer Anversoie sailed from Leningrad Fri- day with lumber for the Amtorg Trad- ing Corporation, Soviet trade organi- gation in this country. Under 8 Treasury ruling any lumber coming from points north of latitude 60 in Russia is barred unless it be shown that convict labor did not enter into its production. If the shipment is from a section of Russia where convict labor is not used its entry could be permitted if evidence of its origin were submitted. Customs officials did nct know where the lumber would be landed, but as- sumed it would be taken either to Providence, R. I, or to Poughkeepsie, N. Y., the headquarters of the A. C. Dutton Co., which has large contracts rm‘olumber with the Amtorg Corpo- Tation. PRINCE GEORGES REPORTS 154 CASES OF “FLU” Dr. A. B. Hooton, Health Officer, Makes Statement for Month of February.
