" BAY STATE SENATE " URGES DRY REPEAL Congress Askod {o Abolish Pre- hibition by 36 to 6 Yote Boston, Feb. § UM—Massachusetts. | a8 represented by the state senate, was today on record in favor of the repeal of tae prohibition amend- ment to the federal constitution. A resolution requesting congress to take action ‘o that effect was passed without debate by a vote of 26 to 6 in accordance with majorities volled up in favor of repeal in 3¢ of the 40 senatorial districts on a yeterendum last November. Only a few minutes before the senate acted, a group of women + “dry" leaders, who characterized the state as dry and law-abiding, appealed to Gov. Frank G. Allen to *save the commonwealth of Massa- chusetts” by using his influence to prevent passage of the resolution. They termed it “a wet memorial likely to be construed as an invita. tion to every gungster and racketeer ¢ to come into Massachusetts and ply his nefarious trade.”™ Tarr Specch Cited The signers of the appeal said they acted under the influence of statements made {n a recent apeech by U. 8. Attorney Frederick H. Tarr, who, told the Professional Women's club that several banks ‘were under suspicion of deliberately financing the illegal liquor traffic. The attorney also had attacked “the reputable citizens” who patronize bootleggers and thereby “fostered a school of crime with large cash awards.” ‘The resolution favoring repeal of the 18th amendment, introduced by Benator Erland F. Fish of Brook- line, will be forwarded to congress immediately. The six senators who voted against it were: Charles C. ‘Warren of Arlington, Henry L. Kin- caide of Quincy, Cornelius F. Haley of Rowley, Donald W. Nicholson of Wareham, Clarence P. Kidder of Cambridge and Roger Keith of Brockton. House Dodges Issue Shortly before the senate took ac- tion the house voted against further consideration of a petition of Rep- resentative Charles 8. Rackeman asking that the house likewise memorialize congress for repeal. Representative Newland H. Holmes of Weymouth said the November referendum applied only to the sen- ate and the house agreed 130 to 70. The signers of the appeal to Gov. Allen, which he did not see until after the resolution had been adopt- ed, were: Mra. F. E. Crawford, chairman of the Massachusetts Women's Committee for Law En. forcement; Mra. H. J. Gurney, chairman of the New England branch, Women's National Com- ittee for Law Enforcement; Mras. William Gleason and Mrs. Arthur Ropes, honorary president and president respectively of the Massa- chusetts Women's Christlan Fem- perance Union, and Mrs. William Tilton of the committe¢ on legisla- tion and moral welfare of the Mas- #achusetts Federation of Churches.

He invited them to meet him at his bowling alleys. Some of the Rotarians began to see the light, Judge J. H. Kirkham, corporation counsel, remarked “Gen- eral 1. M. Bolling, Ah.” At the bowling alleys it was found that Mrs. Kronholm had been there and had a chicken dinner all ready to serve. There were no speeches.
