Mayor Hylan wrote a letter today to District Attorney Swann in regard to the inquiry into police graft on un-| |fortunate women, which brought a de- | cided change of front in the Mr. Smith, his assistant, District Attorney's office. Swann put it, right up to “Jim” to prove his own case against of a score and a half denominations and has a definite programme laid out, not for one year but for five years. Among other achievements it plans to evangelize the world and entirely reorganize the religious education of this country. Iu eonparison such militant groups as the Anti-Saloon League, the Society for the Suppression of Vice, even the Billy Sunday Revival machine, must be listed as the small fry of uplift. In its businesslike methods, its proposed expenditures, its co-operation in ideals and co-ordination in de- tails, the immense scope of the work it has undertaken, the Interchurch World Movement challenges comparison with Standard Oil and other huge commercial combinations which have sprung up during the last fifty years | in this country, and—borrowing out of their book—might be called a re- ligious trust.

WASHINGTON, March 5 (Copy- right, 1920).—While there is no dimi- nution of enthusiasm or lack of ef- fectiveness on the part of the Gov- ernment officials who are charged with the enforcement of the Prohibi- | tion laws, it is nevertheless a fact that a considerable part of the Wil- son Administration looks with favor upon the so-called “wet wave" which is sweeping the Eastern seaboard.

They even argue the merit of Prohibition as affecting their States, how the penitentiaries have been emptied and the retail merchants have prospered; but this sort of argu- ment makes little effect on the thirsty men of the East, who do not see why, under a liberalization of the Prohibition laws, the same civic ob- Jects could not be attained, For one thing, none of the “wets” in the Administration has even a friendly word to say for the saloon That, they declare, Is gone for good. Nor do they champion the cause of whiskey. But they insist that some sort of beverage like light wines or beer should be permitted the country, PEOPLE, NOT BREWERS, BEHIND “WET” MOVE.” Indeed, the Wilson people who fa- vor a Wheral platform on the pro- hibition question are fearful lest the brewers or the liquor interests ally get behind what seems to folks reaction against prohibition, They would pre- strat who are ener- wet" hera a spontaneous fer popular dev n to continue (Continued on Eleventh Page.)

Dr. Freeman Tells Members of Assembly Committee ALBANY, March 5.—When the inquiry into the financial and political ways, means and methods of the Anti-Saloon League in the: State of New York gets under way before the Assembly Judiciary Com- mittee, Assemblyman Louis Cuvillier of Manhattan will call as wit, nesses against the League, he announved to-day, at least ten or twelve clergyrnen. Armed with a written statement by the Rev, William H. Freemang. pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Carlisle, N. Y., Assemblyman Cuvillier says he is prepared to challenge the assertion frequently made by Superintendent William H. Anderson and other officials of the ar- ganization that in its crusade against the saloon and the liquor traffic the League was “pre-eminently the dgency of the Protestant churcies.”* The Rev. Mr. Freeman, whose letter, to Assemblyman Cuvillier are said to have been responsible in part for thé Cuvillier resolution calling for the tn- quiry, was in the employ of the league until about a year ago. years, it is said, he practiced law in Manhattan and Yonkers. The strong- est evidence he possesses against the ue is described as “documentary, AMERICAN CAPTIVES SENT TO MOSCOW. With British Subjects, All Are Ar- rested by Soviet Troops in Murmansk District.

Anderson before our commit- tee. Other clergymen will follow and support hin.” “The league's methods of collecting moneys,” the Carlisle preacher said in one of his letters to Cuvillier, “are both adroit and sinister. Its subtle aim is money, money, with which to domineer in governmental construc. tion, “Its interest in Prohibition is but # means to government of private con- duct by coercion.” MONEY AND POWER SOLE OB- JE-T, HE SAYS, Dr. Freeman, who, after attending @ two-days’ private conference of the league at its main offices in New! forks last December, withdrew as an em- Dloyee of it, said that league officials in the Albany district with which he was connected wanted him to remain, This he refused to do, having lost con- fidence in the league and its work. “I expected,” he said, “to find the | fifty or sixty men jubilant over the success of their cause. Instead, [ found them greatly agitated. Their fear that they were about to lose }u« crative positions were pitiful. They were desperately worried until Will- jam H.
