Taft told the committee a story of a discussion among revolutionists after the Civil War to illustrate, he aid, the present attitude of the wets. “«Jimmie,” Taft quoted one member of the group, ‘‘‘we .sure whipped those damn Yankees, What I can’t see is why we surrendered to them".” Sobbs asked the witness why he held straw votes on prohibition were not trustworthy. “Drys Don't Vote"” drys don’t vote,” Taft necessary," “The plied. Taft discussed the taken at Yale recently. “I would estimate that there is more drinking there now than when I was in school, but I doubt that there is one-twentieth of the drunk- enness,” Taft said. “If some scenes I saw there when I was a student were repeated today, the news of them would be cabled all over the world. Relating the conversation with a dean, Taft said that he had told that “prohibition is a god- send to Yale,” and that youths now were dismissed for drunkenness when previously they had “to punch a policeman in the cye or some- re- straw vote been | thing. mor.

Returns to Old Lists Washington, March 19 (®—The scnate today returned to the more humdrum details of the tariff bill after a spirited discussion of sali- cious literature which ended in the imposition of a modified censorship upon improved reading matter. For two days, charges of intoler- ance, denunciations of the principle of censorship, and pleas for the pro- tection of the morals of young America rang through the senatc chamber, and then, without the for- mality of a record vote, the senate acted. It adopted an amendment to the tarift bill under which foreign literi- ture considered “obscene, immoral or treasonable” may be seized at the port of entry, but cannot be destroy- ed until it has been judged in a fed- cral court and advance decisions ap- pealed. A proviso permits the secretary of the treasury to admit, in his discrs- tion, such books as may be consii- cred literary classics, but then, oniy for “non-commercial” purposes. Strong Debate Results The debate ran the full gamut af senatorial orator; Senator Smoot, the finance committee led the figit for censorship and held his ground steadfastly despite charges of intol- erance and assertions that immoril passages may be found in the lit crature of the Mormons of wh lie is & prominent member. Senator Cutting, republican, New Mexico, was in the vanguard of the opposition. . He had previously suc- ceeded in having the senate strike n censorship provision from the tarif bill and struggled valiantly to pr. vent the ‘reversal of the former de cision. The amendment finally was a modification of one offered by Smoot, giving officials authority to | prevent the entrance of salacious or Claggett, | treasonable literature. This ran into opposition on the ground that ir placed in the hands of their | agents a power that should be ex- crcised only by the courts. Much of the debate centered upon a lofty stack of books, brought into the senate chamber by Smoot, which had been seized as obscene by customs agents under the authority given them by existing law. These found a wide circulation among the senate membership, Smoot urging them upon his colleagues as exam ples of the type of literature he wis attempting to bar from the country Oil and Lumber Lists Proposals for tariffs on oil lumber, now on the free list, came up today under an agreement reached last night after the boox amendment had been approved.

Doheny to a charge of bribery in connection with the Elk Hills oil reserve lease con- cluded presentation of testimony and rested its case today shortly before noon. The government charges that Do- heny ga a bribe of $100,000 to Albert B. Fall, former secretary of fthe interior, for the award to his company of the Elk Hills, California, naval oil reserve lease. Doheny maintains the money was a loan to an old friend. Much of the testimony in the pres- ent trial has revolved around the award to a Doheny concern of a con- tract to build facilities for naval oil storage at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This contract contained a clause which gave the company preference to Elk Hills. The 73 year old defendant on the stand yesterday attempted to show that he personally had nothing to do with the Pearl Harbor negotiations and the defense witnesses introduced today gave corroborating testimony.
