Washington, June 29.—While the wesident’s announcement last night that he would not lift the ban on war- time prohibition until the army w demobilized provoked a storm of va ing comment in congressional ry- circles, there were no indications tonight of any concerted move to obtain immedi- ate consideraion by the house of en- forcement legislation. Indeed, the general view was that there was law enough for the present, and that the house would adhere to the plan outlined by leaders to let the whole prohibition ‘auestion go over r the holiday recess, which 1 tomorrow night or Tues- fembers opposed to the dr tic provisions of the measure report- ed out by judiciary committee. gave notice today that they would endeavor to have these stricken out on the floor.

The doctor had spent the entire af- ternoon writing his letter of self-vin- dication and two other letters giving directions for the disposal of his body and the care of several pets to which he was greatly attached. “Rather than be driven across . the state of New York by Carmen Plant (Nassau county detective) and deliv- ered up to Sing Sing prison,” he wrote in the first letter, “I prefer to be my own executioner. Besides, it will save Justice Manning from looking into my face when he tells me I have had a fair trial. “I am_absolutely innocent of this crime which the indictment charges; me with.” This letter was ten pages long and was addressed to J. P. Healey of Brooklyn, an acquaintance of Dr. Wil- kins. The second letier was address- ed to Mrs. Elizabeta Muller, formerly 2 housekeeper for the W who now lives at Monticello, N.
