WILSON TELLS WASHINGTON, April 30.—The order of Secretary Daniels against Mquor for officers aboard battieships has caused President Wilson to de fine his position on national prohiti- tion by re-indorsing the contents of a letter written fn 1911 on this sub- Ject, in which he said that he favors local option and is unalterably op- posed to making it a political issue and thus diverting attention from important economic and political matters by emphasizing a subject which is purely social and ethical.

The scenario required an anto wreck to dirpose of the villain in the play. The action was taken on the Palis- ades, in New York, overlooking the Hudson river. A real auto was used. The effect was startling.
