In accepting the proposal of Sena- tor Borah, an avowed dry, Dr. But ler also replied to a request from the [daho senator for a detailed state- ent of his position on prohibition declaring for repeal of the 18th amendment and the Volstead act and by expressing the hope the republi- n party officially would adopt the me attitude. “I have done whatever my time nd strength have permitted to keep this issue before the people in all parts of the United Stat cator wrote. “So far as time and strength and the heavy pressure of personal and professional duties will permit, I shall certainly continue this course of action during the months that lie before us. “f am prepared at any convenlent time to confer with you or any other of our (republican) party assoclates | the edu- as to how best and most effectively | to accomplish the end that we both nave in mind. “You ask me two main questions are my answers. am in favor, specifically and definitely, of the repeal both of the ! 15th amendment and of the Volstead act.

NEW YORK-LONDON PHONE IS PAYING Financially Sell Supporting at Present New York, Feb. 10.—(P— The rantile international radiophone is able to toddle upon its own financial | legs. One month’s operation of the trans-Atlantic radiophone service be- tween New York and London and their adjacent areas has proved it to be a commercial success, officials of the American Telephone and Telegraph company said yesterday. The newest youngster in the pub- lic utilities, which bridges by wire and radio the gap between England and America is already paying its operating expenses with something | officials say | beside. The company they are satisfied with the financial operation of the radiophone, but are not prepared to give figures. These cannot be determined until the costs of installation and the months of experimentation have been ascer- tained. Americans make more use of the radiophone than across seas. Check-ups of toll calls on the radiophone circuit show that there are eight outgoing calls from America to five calls from England. This has been the average since th first commerclal call was made on January 9.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1927 | VIOLENT BRITISH PRISONERS ARE GIVEN SECRET TYPE OF PUNISHMENT Methods Adopted in Special Prison—Preven- | tive Detention Camps| | ! Also Are In Use. A mysterious punishment even more severe than the lash awaits the offender in Great Britain who habitually commits crimes of violence. Few per- sons outside officlal life even know this form of punishment exists or even of the iame of the prison in which it is inflict- ed. Prisoners of murderous ten- dencles enter this prison shack- led and wild. At the expira- | fractory his punishment consists of loss of certain luxuries. This is usually more than sufficient to make the prisoner obedient. Should turther punishment be necessery he is given solitary confinemant, plus reghlar prison diet until he evinces a desire to reform. Punishment in extreme cases reaches prison stand- ard. Guard Against Escapes The possibllities of prisoners es- caping are not overlooked. The camp is modelled on prison and has similar safeguards. Regular prison dress is not adopted, but a distinctive style of clothing is allotted. Thus should an escape be made, it is more or less known what clothes the prisoner was wearing at the time he disappeared. It is & fairly pleasant existence, but is not favored by “old lags,” who realize that although only given initlally, perhaps, a five year sent- tion of their treatment there they are tame and few of them ever appear for a second lose. | This is the third of a series of | storfes on British prison meth- | ods,—United Press. | | London, Fed. 10, (UP)—Prevent- | ive detention is Britain's’ method of | subduing habitual criminals. A judge, dealing with an old of- fender whose crime allows for more than the maximum imprison- onment of five or seven years, in-| varlably adds the dreaded sontcnce; | “to be followed by ten years pre- | ventive detention.” This means that when the prisoner has served his term, instead of being let loose on | society again, he is taken to a de-| tention camp, where he remains | under police supervision for the full period inflicted by the judge.

What happens inside its walls remains a closely guarded secret. Even the name of the prison has never been divulged outside the “inner circla” of Brit- ish prison officials. The penalty for the disclosure of the seoret, if traced to the person responsible, is declared to be so severe that ao chance of a “leak” is probable. ‘What is known is that prisoners | who fre ught to *his pri: led, al- under heavy | quently are ! handeutted, most in stralt | escort, upon re ing their freedom are so tamed that literally they would lap food from a haby's hand.

MONK WORE UNIFORM Rome, Feb. 10 (F—On the death yesterday of the Franciscan Monk, Alfonso Fusco, who gave up a bril- liant military career in 1914 to un'er the religious order, it was found that under his religious robe he wore his full uniform as an army general with a crucifix and the Ttalian tricolor sewed to the breast Dining Room in Summer Home of Charles Cape Cod As Folks Dined 200 Years Ago an actual | VOTE ON FARHERS RELIEF TOMORROW House to Aet Next Week—Other Legislation Pends ‘Washington, Feb, 10.—(P—Farm relief has rounded the last turn in the 1927 race for congressional sanction and is headed down the home stretch of the legislative tracks of both house and senate. Carrying the colors of the Mc- Nary-Haugen supporters, whose bill containing the controversial equali- zation fee i8 now the only one in the race, the question, set for debate in both houses today, will reach the voting wire in the senate some time tomorrow and that in the house probably next week. That backers of the McNary- Haugen measure will have to fight off considerable opposition was in- dicated by the oratorical fireworks that were ignited yesterday in the senate and house, which culminated in adoption by the latter of a reso- lution providing for immediate con- sideration of the bill, with general debate limited to twelve hours. After this, amendments will be in order. Prior to this action, taken without a record vote, the house rejected 216 to 146, a motlon to give similar legislative status to the Curtis-Crisp bill, which omits the equalization fee. The agricultural situation was pictured in a discussion in both houses as one of the most serious ever to confront the nation. Much of the debate for and against the Mc- Nary-Haugen plan, however, was along lines similar to that of the last three vears during which the question has been before congress. Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mon- tana,.served notice that he would | strive to prevent final action on the McFadden branch banking bill until | President Coolidge signed the Mc- ‘ Nary-Haugen measure.
