, THE' EVENING BUOYED BY HOOVER Accepts President as “True Friend” and Supporter of Prohibition. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, October 12.—In & copy- righted interview by H. L. Mencken the Baltimore Evening Sun today quotes Bishop James Cannon as saying the West and South drys no longer doubt that prohibition can and will be en- | forced. “Prohibition,” the Southern Metho- dist churchman is quoted as saying, “is now in its third stage. In its first stage the wets said ‘they can't enforce it In its second stage they said ‘they shan't enforce it,’ but now, in its third stage, we drys are doing the talking and what we say is ‘we will enforce it.’ “Never before had I seen such en- thusiasm as 1 encountered lately in the South and Far West.

The “thrill” the drys experienced at President Hoover's message to Congress with the Wickersham report and the “heavy and deflant” drinking of the rich, the bishop said, accounted for the “change. “The President’s message x turned the tide,” he sald, adding declared plainly that he was against repealing the eighteenth amendment and against amending the Volstead ‘Ct" In other words, he came out as & fiat- footed and uncompromising prohibi- “2"}};&1 is precisely what we wanted and needed.

It tasted awfully sour and unpleasant. I don’t think it is a good thing to give people such things to drink.” Bishop Cannon told Mencken that with prohibition safe and the drys full of enough steam to carry them for a while he was turning his attention to the “apparent decay of marriage.” Turning to Marriage. “In such matters,” he said, “I am almost a Oatholic. I belleve it is fair and decent to grant divorces for de- sertion, for infidelity and for drunk- enness, but beyond that we should not go. If we.do so we shall do grave damage to the family, and the family is at the bottom of all Christian in- stitutions.” He added that “incompatible” couples should not be divorced. ‘“They should have been more careful,” he said, add- ing, “I believe it would be a good thing to make marriage somewhat more dif- ficult—that is, to force people to look before they leap. * * * The whole problem is very difficult.

Douglas of New York, consulting enginecr, and the Fine Arts Commission, which will advise on the artistic merits of the new plan. Originally, it was intended that the Fine Arts Commission at its forthcoming meeting should render its :g‘l’mon on whether the stately columns uld be erected. President Hoover's letter now seems to put an end to that program. The Aeronautics Branch of the De- partment of Commerce inquired into the bility of the columns being an air navigation hazard, after Wash- ington Airport authorities had raised an objection. Senator Bingham, Re- publican, of Connecticut, who is deeply interested in aviation activities, was represented as taking the matter up with the White House. Under preliminary plans worked out by the Bridge Commission's staft and cost $500,000 each, and the foundations for both would have entailed the ex- penditure of $100,000. The latest de- signs call for the columns to rise 180 feet above the level of the island, which is about 35 feet above the surface of the Potomac River. One of the columns would have been placed 150 feet up- stream from the main avenue, and the other would have been 150 feet down- stream. Each column was to be en- circled with a bas relief embodying some symbolism at the base. The main shafts were designed as columns, fluted like those of the Lin- coln “Memorial. The columns were to have been surmounted with an orna- mental effect and a lantern design. On the very top an aluminum torch, illumi- nated by electricity, would have been placed. Those in favor of erecting the columns maintained this illumination would have been sufficient warning for aireraft. ‘The Arlington Memorial Bridge Com- mission had not gone into the details of drafting plans for the columns. Now the problem is to design something to take the place of the columns on Co- lumbia Isiand or to decide if ornamen- ;l:mmn there is to be abandoned alto- her. Col. Grant Silent. Col Grant declined to comment on President Hoover's letter referring in- terviewers to the White House. In the original plan for the bridge development, as set forth in_a mes- sage transmitted by former President Coolidge to Congress, this ‘f;l:f“m de- r signif- scribed the columris and cance: “Two stately columns are pro- posed to be erected here (on Columbia Island), framing in, but not interfering with, the view of the Lincoln Memorial from the direction of the Les Mansion. These columns symbolize the one North and the other the South. They are surmounted by statues of Victory, the stylobates whence they rise offering surfaces suitable for decora- tion, bas relief and inscriptions. The columns, 166 feet high, are practically the same height as the Colonne de Juillet in Paris.” Some time ago it was suggested by a Senator that statues of Gen. Lee and Gen. Grant should adorn the bridge development, 2s typifying the North and South. Now that the columns are to be withdrawn from plans, it is con- sidered possible that statues of Lee and gxr::& may be erected on Célumbia TRAIN KILLS FOUR IN CAR WAUKEGAN, I, October 12 (#).— Four youths were killed when their au- by | tomobile was struck by a }::crdth Shore train at a ¢rossing here yesterda: The dead were Jerome Macuills, 20; John Pagereckis, 20; Bruno w;mxi. a1, and Anthony Mikalauckas, all of ‘Waukegan.
