THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, BLAINE GROUP ACTS ON BEER THIS WEEK Redraft to Meet Possible Constitutional Objections Suggested. (Continued Prom First Page.) would constitute a “subterfuge un- worthy of the highest legislative body ©f the country.” Cannon Enters Protest. Cannon took the stand unexpectedly, as Chairman Blaine was announc- adjournment of the hearing. He protested that the bill would be uncon- stitutional because “it would permit traffic in intoxicating beer.” Others who testified against the bil! were: Edward B. Dunford, Andrew Wil- son and Robert H. McNeill, all of Wash- ington, representing the National Con- ference of Organizations Supporting the Eighteenth Amendment; Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, chairman of the Woman's National Committee for Law Enforce- ment; Mrs. William T. Bannerman of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson of the Woman's National Democratic Law Enforcement League. Emphasizing his points with frequent gestures, Dunford said the bill was “squarely in conflict with the spirit and purpose of the eighteenth amendment, since it undertakes to legalize and li- cense an intoxicating beer.” He and the other prohibitionists pre- dicted it would be declared unconstitu- tional by the Supreme Court if enacted into law. Blaire suggested to Dunford that Congress could refrain from passing any legislation to enforce the eighteenth amendment and be within its con- stitutional rights. Obligation Is Cited. “There is an obligation to enact leg- islation to carry out the purpose of the amendment,” Dunford replied. “I didn’t suppose it was the purpose of : the committee to see how far it could get away from the Constitution.” Dunford agreed Congress had the right to decided what is intoxicating, but said it must be reasonable, McNeill was asked if Congress could raise the one-half of 1 per cent limita- tion in the Volstead act without violat- ing the Constitution. “Any reasonable limit fixed on the basis of those least tolerant to stand the effects of the beverage would be constitutional,” he replied, “but not if it is a content that leaves the people at the mercy of a law written solely to protect those best able to with- stand its effects " The women chiefly confined their tes- timony to the effects of beer on chil- dren. “Whether 4 per cent beer is intoxi- cating to the ‘average’ man or mem- ber of Congress is not the point,” Mrs. Peabody said. “The people represented by you directly and indirectly include women and children, often forgotten | by the average politician, but repre- senting two-thirds majority of the peo- | Ple of the United States.” Tells of Tests on Children. She told the committee of tests of | the effect of aicohol on children to rove that even a small percentage was ul to them. Mrs. Peabody quoted from studies of Prof. Walter Miles of Yale University and Dr. Haven Emerson in connection with the Erlacher tests in Germany seven years ago to show that alcohol is harmful to children. Dr. Miles said the Erlacher tests on children under 14 years of age showed deterioration in their performance “ranged from 4.5 per cent to 7.8 per cent of their non-alcoholic perform- Beck argued that the eighteenth amendment “plainly provided that Ccn- gress has the right to preccribe the per- missable alcoholic content of liquor.” Scripture Quoted by Beck. { Although this power is not unlimited, he said, it is confined only to “the boundaries cf the reasonable field.” “The Supreme Court would give the greatest respect to any decleration of Congress on the subject,” he raid, “and any finding would be accepted that was not plainly arbitrary or capricious.” Although Beck agreed that a person could get drunk on 3.2 per cent beer under extreme circumstances, he said “it is not intoxicating within the mean- ing of the eighteenth amendment and would be accepted by the court as| within legislative discretion.” Quoting the scriptural saying that «wine maketh glad the heart of man,” Beck said there is a “pathological re- action to everything we take” and as- serted “intoxicated” meant much more than a small pathological reaction. Election Mandate Denied. Beer of 3.2 per cent strength is used all over the world without bad effect, Beck saild. He cited the stamina of the German and French people. “And yet,” he added, “the French pessant woild be amased if you_ ssked | ~_ SPECIAL NOTICES. i NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.

After the hearing, Bishop Cannon, president, and Eugene L.

File Protest Against Bill “As the official representatives of th General Conference of the Methodis! thirty-seventh annual conferences of faid church,” the statement said, “we file protest against the passage of the Collier bill as attempting to legalize 2 | beer of alcoholic content, which, before the eighteenth amendment, was recog- nized by scciety at large, by the medical profession generally and by numerous court decisions as intoxicating. “The eighteenth amendment pro- hibits the traffiic in intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes, and we insist that the bill is unconstitutional because it permits traffic in intoxicating beer. “If it should be decided, as has been suggested, to so change the present bill as to provide that beer of more than 3.2 per cent be prohibited, we insist that such action would be a subterfuge unworthy of the highest legislative body of the country FREE HAND IS URGED FOR DRY LAW FOES Former Publisher Advises Prohibi- tionists to Spend Funds for Warning Campaign. 5 the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., January 7. —James Schermerhorn, former publish- er of the Detroit Times, in an address today before a group of prohibitionists urged that opponents of the law be given a free hand to solve the liquor question. “The money that an organized dry fight would require might better be devoted to a national campaign of warning among the Nation’s youth that because a thing is sanctioned by their Government it does not follow that it | is to their moral or bodily benefit to| become a consumer of it,” Schermer- horn said. It is his personal conviction, he said, that it is the part of wisdom and patriotism for the drys to acquiesce for the time being in the wet interpreta- tion of the November ballot and to do 50 in a spirit of sportsmanship. Schermerhorn spoke at the close of a three-day conference. The sessions were presided over by Dr. John R. Mott of New York, president of the International Missionary Conference, and were attended by about 50 friends of prohibition from all parts of the country. The findings of the conference will be released in a statement by Dr. Mott in New York tomorrew MASEFIELD TO LECTURE IN WASHINGTON JAN. 13 Poet Laureate of England Will Speak at National Theater in Afternoon.

A three-year search by police of the Nation for the “trigger man” in the lurid murder for which Irene Schroeder, blonde “thrill” bandit, and Glenn Dague, her lover, were executed in 1931, ‘was brought to a dramatic end yester- day when fingerprint experts of the United States Bureau of Investigation identified a slain bandit in Missouri as the missing gunman. Fingerprints of the bandit, killed with a companion in a gun battle Tuesday | with police of Cape Girardeau, Mo., were found to be identical with those | of Thomas Robert Crawford, brother of | Mrs. Schroeder and said to have fired the bullet that killed Corpl. Brady Paul of the Pennsylvania State Police in De- cember, 1929 | ~crawford, his sister and Dague fled after slaying the policeman, who sougat to arrest them for a hold-up, Mrs. Schroeder and Dague later being cap- tured on a mountainside in Arizona by a posse, aided by airplanes. Two deputy sheriffs were killed in the gunfire that accompanied the capture and an addi- tional murder charge was placed against the pair as a result. Refused to Aid in Search. Crawford eluded arrest and his sister | refused to aid police in their search | for him. Mrs, Schroeder and Dagu> | were executed February 24, 1931, after | a sensational trial and after futile ef- forts to obtain clemency from Gov. Pinchot. Fingerprints of Crawford and of an- other man were received Friday at the division of identification of the Bureau of Investigation, with a notation from Missouri police that identity of the sub- jects was “unknown.” The two had been shot to death by police, the bu- reau was advised. A thorough check of the approximately 3,500,000 criminal fingerprints on file here resulted in the identification of the dead men as Craw- ford and John Hgfl. Huff also had a rior crime record. pAccordmg to the Assoclated Press, Crawford and Huff were shot by seven Cape Girardeau officers last Tuesday after the robbery of a small Morehouse, ., . Trailing them to a down- own flat in Cape Girardeau, the po- | licemen battered down the door and found Crawford and Huff seated on a | bed. The pair drew their revolvers and | attempted to shoot it out with the po- lice detail. From room to room the | battle raged until both gunmen were | shot to death. The police were un- scathed. | Labels Cut From Clothes. For nearly a week the bodies of the dead men were viewed by thousands in | an effort to identify them. To prevent | identification in case of capture the men | had cut the labels from their clothing and in other ways had sought to con- ceal their identity. Huff had been ar- | Yested for vagrancy at Texarkana, Ark., and at Joplin, Mo. The murder of Corpl. Paul occurred December 27, 1929, on the highway be- tween Butler and Newcastle, Pa. Paul had been notified to watch for a car containing a blonde girl, a small child and two men, who had participated in the robbery of a chain store in Butler. The car was stolen. Paul and a brother officer stopped a car answering the description given and asked the driver, Dague, for his driver’s permit. The answer was a shot from | the car which felled Paul with a fatal wound. The car sped on. The slayers were trailed across the| country, several skirmishes with police | of various cities marking the flight to the Far West. Crawford separated from | his sister and her lover en route to| Arizona. Following their spectacular capture Mrs. Schroeder and Dague maintained a defiant air, but finally relented just before they went to the electric chair. ‘Testimony of the child, Donnie, 5-year- old son of Mrs. Schroeder, aided in con- viction of the mother. According to police, Crawford had| told a friend that he fired the shot that | killed the policeman, and the hunt for the fugitive assumed Nation-wide pro- portions.

By the Associated Press. Staving off a host of amendments that would seek to throw nearly every major agricultural commodity Wwithin the covers of their emergency farm bill was the big job to which its Democratic sponsors last night looked forward. Chairman Jones promised a last- ditch fight on the House floor against “wrecking” the bill his Agriculture Committee reported, by overloading it with amendments. Still confident of passage, Jones said he wanted it to g0 to the Senate “as nearly intact as possible.” The measure embodies the domestic allotment plan. Roosevelt Stand Seen. Some members felt that if the House seems inclined toward much addition or subtraction before a final vote, the farm bill will iose the support—now generally credited to it—of President- elect Roosevelt. The bill came from committee con- taining wheat, cotton, tobacco and hogs, the four commodities agreed upon at a conference of farm leaders at- tended by Henry Morgenthau, jr, a Roosevelt adviser. Later the committee authorized Representative Glover, Dem- ocrat, Arkansas, to offer rice as a committee amendment. But already a strong movement sup- ported by the National Co-Operative Milk Producers’ Federation is urging the inclusion of dairy products. When the amendment stage of the bill's con- | sideration is reached tomorrow, Repre-| sentative Andresen, Republican, Min- nesota, will propose a 5-cent-a-pound bounty on butterfat. Favors Rice Amendment. Others among the numerous amend- ments planned would add peanuts and | potatoes to the bill, and a motion will be made to eliminate hogs, or, failing that, to levy the same processing tax on cattle and sheep. All except the rice amendment will be fought by Jones, who contends the plan does not readily lend itself to commodities not on & large export basis. “The_ whole principle of the allot- ment plan depends upon a world price level to prevent processors from taking the producer’s fee out of the producer’s price. Where there is foreign buying competition for export, we believe a world price will be sustained, enabling the farmer to receive a bounty without any lowering of his actual market price. “But, without a world market, there is some question of doubt on this point.” FOUR ONE-ACT PLAYS Powell Junior High School Enter- tertainment Includes “Winners All” and “The Blockade.” ‘The Columbia Players presented four one-act_plays last night at the Powell Junior High School. They were “Win- ners All” “The Blockade,” “The Lady| and the Law” and “The Trysting Place.” Harold Norton directed the first offer- ing, in which Margery Rice, Peggy Fountain and N. Graham Fountain were the players.

One Cent a Day Brings fl)fl a Month Over One-Half Million Dollars Already Paid in Cash Benefits. One cent a day ($3.65 per year), invested in a National Protective Policy, will now buy more insurance benefits than can be secured from any other Company for any amount up to $10 per year. | This new policy, paying benefits up to $100 each month or $1,000 to $1,500 at death, is now being sold | to all men, women and children, be- tween the ages of 7 and 80 years, whether employed or not. The benefits for auto accidents of $100 a month (instead of the usual $50 a month) is said by many to be alone worth the entire cost of $3.65 per year. Yet this is but one of the many features of this new and unusual policy. The National Protective is the \largest and oldest company of its kind in the world.

Akron Dips Farewell The Green Trophy race was held just after the Navy dirigible Akron dipped in farewell to the air races and sailed into the Southern skies, en route to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on a training cruise. Setting the highest speed of the meet’s competition, Jimmy Wedell, the Patterson, La., speed merchant, won first place in a free-for-all 30-mile race around a three-cornered course.
