~OPULATION 29,685 SOLONS T0 BE IMPORTUNED BY DRY ANDWET ADVOCATES Both Factions Are Claiming a Victory as a Result of Tues- day’s Elections—Program for Attack on the Volstead| Act Has Not Yet Been Fully Developed—Both Wets and Drys Are Preparing for Fight—Treasury Officials Are Looking for W to Modify the Enforcement Act —Policy of Strict Enforcement is to be Continued Un- til Congress Acts. Washington, Nov. $.—The political complexion of the next congress having been definitely established, interest turn- d today on the probgble line-up on the question of modification of the prohibition enforcement laws. Both the “drys” and “wets” were clalming a victory as a re- sult of Tuesday’s elections, For the anti-saloon league, Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel, said the “wets" would not have as many votes, by three at least, in the senate as here- cofore, and that their strength, in the house would not exceed 140, or 78 less than a majority. On the other hand, the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment through G. O. Hinckley, its gemeral sec- retary, cialmed a gain of elghty *lb- eral” votes in the house, which, it was asserted would giye actual control of that body to the modificationista “The promounced increase In the ‘wets’ membership.” said Mr. Hinckley's state- ment, “renders highly probably the pas- sage of liberal legislation in the next ses- sion of congress that will strike the first blow at the more stringent provisions of the Volstead aet. “Iavolved in this view, is a consedera- ¢ ciom on the prohibition “Nevertheless, on -the ace of the res turns_ it seems to be a fact that the ef- forts of the wets to nullify our laws and fo begin the process of breaking down the constitution of the United States has had no inconsiderable effect. They have boasted that they had more than thirty organizations, most of them well financed, in organized cffort for this purpose. To my mind, the question now raised is dis- tinctly larger taan the question of whether we shall have beer and light wines. It is a question of whether de- mocracy can make good.” The bishop said that it beer was to come back it would mean the return of the brewery and the saloon and “all of the corrupting influences of the liquor trafic in politics.” | “When they tell you,” he -added, “that this law cannot be enforced, but some other regulations can be, we ask, ‘when ‘was there ever a law against the liquor traffic which the liquor men obeyed when they could possibly evage 1t “We have laws against murder, but murders continue. We have laws against all sorts of things, but there are always law-breakers, so I do not anticipate that, for.years to come, at least, we shall per- manently eliminate the bootlegger or the ftlon enforcement aat foom the | Clandestine seller of Nquor.” p of the house judiclary com- mittee, giving the place over to Repre- sepative Graham of Pennsylvania, an avowed “wet.” “The passing of Mondell leaves the ma- leadership on, the floor either to Representative Longworth, of Ohlo, or ANTI-PROHIBITIONISTS TALK OF FORMING NEW PABTY Baltimore, Nov. 9.—In announcing a meeting of all ‘the state chicfs of his organisation at St. Louis on November 20, Willlam M. Stayton, president of the National Association Arainst Prohi- bition, declared today unless ‘“wet" planks are inserted in the national plat- forms of both the.republican ana oem- ocratic -parties In 1924, the “wets” of the country, through the organizatioh, will predent’ independent candidates for congress. The state heads will & consider pians for the next national campaign at the St. Louls meeting, The ~organization, | Mr, Stayton sald, will participate just as ‘metively in politics-as does the Anti- Saloon league The National Association Against Prohibition claims ‘a membership of more than 200,000, extenaing to nearly. every state in the Union. The principal purpese to which e organization heads would -devote their time in St. Louis. Mr. Stayton said, would be to making arrangements wo “that in 1924 we shall run an independ- ent ‘wet' candidate in every congres- sional district in the United States un- less one‘or the other of the great polit- ical parties is running & man on a ‘wet': platform in the district.” Mr. Stayton “hoped and believed” the! two major partiestwouid “respond fo the people’s wishes as shown on Tuesday and will give ‘the people the relief they demand.” * But if, he added, “both -of the two great parties should fail to adopt liberal planks, we shall be forced to become substantially a third party.” ‘the irlotal strength tn the past for any wine amendment or similar prohibition act was pot more than 133. The last reports we have from the states, with a few district out, show that they will-ever must 140 votes for any such amendment. Their vote will probably be much less than that. “The valy real teat of sentiment of the 376 per cent. beer issue this year was in Ohio, where the propasal was defeat- d by more than 15 In llinois the organized ‘dry’ forces did not vote either way on the beer proposal, “The defeat of the codes in Massathu- setis and California is no loss because we mever had any enforpement eodes In those siales . Both the “wets” and the “drys” are preparing for a fight in the new congvess, Mr, Hinckley declared the outlook was “extremely” (avorable for the carrying out of the “preliminary” program of his organisation, 4nd other of the leaders of the “wets’ entertalned a similar view. Just what the program of attack on the Volsicad law will be has mot yet been fully developed, but it is expected to be @ straight out proposition for the ule‘ of light wines and 4eer.

FEANCE IS DETEEMINED TO EXACT REPARATIONS Parie, Nov. 9 (By the A. P.).—Premier Poincare told the senate this evening that thé French government had decided to act alone with respect to Germany if the Brussels conference failed to give France satisfaction. He expressed the opinion that no general settlement of the repara- tigns problem was' possible unless the question of inter-allied débts was solved at the same time. “France is not impecialistic,” he de- clared. “I can say that she is the least imperialistic of the nations, but she has rights to defend. We do not contemplate any personal action before the Brussels conference, but if we do not obtain satis- faction there is nothing in the world that can prevent us from acting alone in the fullness of our rights.” The premiec was replying to Senator Hubert,” who ‘asserted that_occupation of at least part of the Ruhr district was in- dispensable to bring the heads of German industry to a reasonable attitude on the execution of the Versailles treaty and the payment of German reparations. M. Poincace agreed that energetic ac- tion was necessary but avoided the ques- tion of occpying the Rubr. He recalled that he was ready last August to present a general plan for the payment of repara- tions and inter-allied debts. But the British cabinet issued a mote in Which the debt_to Great Britain was linked with the Pritish debt to the United States. At the same. time, continued M. Poincare, M. Lloyd George declared solemnly that it was necessary to accord a moratorium to Germany without charging her default against her. “I remarked at the time” said M. Poincare, “that a moratorium was a pure- Iy negative measure, that it could not contribute to uplifting the reich or the world. I proposed that before granting a moratorium the allies take as pledges 60 per cent. in the.dye industries and avia- tion and establish customs.houses on the Rhine, but I met with opposition, partic- ulerly of Belgiwm.” German mdustry, he said. had contin- ued to profit from the depreciation of the mack, but finally it was realizing that it was likely to become the victim of its own manoeuveres. 5 “Lord Cprzon has promised - us the support of the mew British government,” sald M. Poincare in conclusion, “and we are always ready to press.a cerdial hand extended to us. We count on the friend- ship of Great Britain, as she may count on the feiendship of France” Senator.. Berenger- asked -the premier: “Is it troe, as has-been said, that the ninety biilion francs advanced by Franco on revaration, due frem Geduany are lost, that Prance will ne any- thing more than the inte M. Poincare replled: “If such fears are expressed. they are due to the present situation. But our rights remain intact and we shall keep intact the guarantees that we hold under the treaty of Ver- BaiNles.” HARTFORD PAUSES DURING FUNEEAL OF M. G. BULKELEY Hartford, Nov. 9.—The Morgan G.

SENATOR IN MASS. ASSURED Boston, Nov. state-wide recount of the vote cast last Tuesday for United States senator was assured today. Col- onel William A. Gaston, the democratic candidate who was apparently defeated by 8,425 votes by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, republican, carried out his inten- tion announced yesterday of directing re- count petitions in every city and town in the hope of upsetting the result. The republican state committee took sim- ilar action to asure representation in the recount proceedings. and tonight had filed petitions in more places than the democrats. Colonel Gaston's associates said they were satisfied that a canvass of the re- turns would reduce considerably the vote reported for the senior senator. Republi- can leaders said they felt Senator Lodge would gain more votes than he would lose in a recount. As the registrars are required to _give notice of the recount of each candidate having an interest therein; it will be several Ways at Jeast beforc ‘the ¢an- vass-begins. g TR The recount should not be permitted to delay the sending by city and town clerks of their original report of elec- tion returns to the secretary of state. it ‘was said at the later's office today. This report, under the law, must be sent with- in ten days after the election. % The republican state committee in a statement tonight recalled that a state- wide recount in 1906 changed the plurali- ty of Lieutenant Governor by only 200 votes, and added: ““The committee deplores the unsports- manlike attitude of Senator Lodge's op- ponents in making necessary a needless waste of money and work on the port of thousands of men and women through- out the state by their demand for a re- count. Mr. Gaston's supporters, however, have shown their determination that a recount shall be. made and therefore the | republican staté committee will make ; it its business to se that the recount is an honest and accurate one, and that it shall include every vote cast for sen- ator in-the whole State, mot in any se- lected section. WITNESS TESTIFIES MRS, PHILLIPS BOUGHT HAMMER Los Angeles, Noy. 8.—Mrs. Clara Phil- lips' story of the purchase of the ham- mer with which Mrs. Albert A. Meadows was slain was contradicted today by a surprise witness in her trial for murder. The defendant testificd that Mrs. Peg- £y Caffec, state witness, bought the ham- mer the_day before the slaying, declar- ing she was going to “use it on her hus- band.” - Mrs. - Caffee swore, that Mrs. Thillips purchased the implemient. Today Mrs. A. W. Crandall took the stand as a rebuttal witness and declar- ed she was present in a downtown store the day before the slaying and saw Mrs, Phillips and Mrs. Caffee standing by a counter where hammers were sold. Mrs. . Phillips, _according _to the ‘witness, gir] if it was the heaviest she had. When picked up a hammer and asked the sales told it was, she asked, according to. the witness, “Do you' think this is heavy enough to hit anyone in the head an kill them?’ { . The: witness said she did not hear the reply to this, but immedtately afterwards saw Mrs. Phillips take the hammer and pay fof it. i Mrs. Crandall said she read in a news- paper ‘that Mrs. Phillips had accused Mrs.* Caffee “of buying- the hammer and that this made her “indignant” and she told the neighbors of her knowledge of the.case. - IMPORTANCE OF AIRCEAFT FOR -DEFENSE OF COAST | Washington, ' Nov. | Muffett, chief of the mawy bureau |geronaitios declared today atter an in- [pection ot {he new airplane _ carrier !Langley in.
