PRIESTS PROMISE 70 AID DRY LAWS Three Attemd Conference in Washington ‘Washington, Dec. 3.—(#)—Three prohibition organizations meeting here yesterday kept the liquor qués- tion betore the public gaze. Three Cathollc priests appeared before the national temperance countil and pledged themselves to work hand in hand with persons of all creeds in the interest of dry law enforcement. They were the Rév. Kugene Hanna of Washington, head of the Catholic association in favor of prohibition; Rev. George Zurcher, of North Evans, N. Y., head of the Priests’ Prohibition league, and Rev. Peter J. O’Callaghan, Delaware Water Gap, Pa., president of the Catholic total abstinence league. Although the meeting was behind closed doors, a statement was au- thorized afterward that the priests, in effect, had said that all religious lines would be forgotten where the prohibition issue was concerned. The Rev. James Empringham of New York, secretary of the church temperance goclety of the Episcopal church, who recently published a re- port favoring modification of the dry law, was dropped from the rolls |cold for him when the mercury is {a score of de or so above freezing.
