to Prevent Bureaucratic

Act Would Make Hawaii and

FINAL VOTE IS 250 TO 93
Assembly Thrown Into Consider
blc Disorder When league Aid
in Drafting Bill Is Charged.
WASHINGTON'. D. C. June i". By
a vote of 150 to 93. the house tonight
massed the Willis-Campbell bill to
prevent the sale of beer to the sick
and sent it to the senate with expec
tations of its final enactment before
the end of the week.
Briefly the bill would prevent use
of beer by the sick on a physicians'
prescription; would prohibit manufac
ture and importation of liquor until
the present stock held under govern
ment supervision for non-beverage
use has been exhausted; would limit
the number of liquor prescriptions to
be issued by physicians to 90 in three
months and apply the provisions of
the prohibition act to Hawaii and the
Virgin islands.
Opening the attack on the bill.
Representative Classon. republican,
Wisconsin, declared the American
people did not regard violation of the
' Volstead law as wrong.
I.lqnor Demand Is Cited.
"It is a game with them." he said
a fame which gives them a bottle
of liquor if they win; if they lose
they shrug their shoulders and count
themselves unfortunate.
"The demand for liquor exists today
and eo long as it does it will be
eupplied by one means or another."
Representative Galiivan. democrat,
Massachusetts, declared he was not
ashamed to oppose a measure de
igned to fool the people.
"EBJ'Pt died because of too much
regulation by law," he said. "It took
more care of its dead than of its liv
ing. Doubtless Sir. Volstead wants
to be laid away alongside of Uameses
X. as the two greatest examples of
medical practice by legislation."
Debate Last Four Hour.
The vote, which was 21 more than
the necessary two-thirds, was taken
a.fter four hours of stormy debate.
In 'closing debate for the op
ponents. Representative Hill, repub
lican. Maryland, threw the house into
considerable disorder by charging
that Wayne B. "heeler, general
counsel for the Anti-Saloon league,
had drafted the bill. Pointing to
the league lawyer in the gallery and
calling him by name, Mr. Hi'.l brought
a wild shout from the prohibition ele
ment, some of whom stood until quiet
was restored.
A moment later when Representa
tive Foster, republican, Ohio, denied
that 'Wheeler helped draft the bill,
there was another dry outburst.
Holes Committee Attacked,
A sharp attack on the rules com
mittee' for failing to give right of
way to the Volstead supplemental bill
came from Representative Keavis, re
publican. Nebraska, a member of the
judiciary commitee, who charged that
its work of three weeks had been
stifled. Mr. Keavis declared it was
a menace to orderly legislation when
half a dozen members of the rules
committee could nullify the action of
another committee in reporting a bill
of national importance.
Chairman Campbell, defending the
committee, said it was unwilling to
mix emergency legislation with con
troversial matters, which should be
fully aired.
In the midst of a plea for passage
of the bill Representative Barkley,
democrat, Kentucky, was interrupted
by Representative Gilbert, -also a dem
ocrat, who queried:
Drinking Colonel Preferred.
"Since we are both from Kentucky,
I would like to know if you would
not rather see a Kentucky colonel
drinking 100 per cent liquor than a
rot-bcllied German drinking a keg
of beer?"
Mr. Barkley replied that if he had
to look upon one of the two evils he
preferred to see the colonel at the
bar.
Representative Cooper, republican,
Ohio, formerly a railroad engineer,
took issue with the American Feder
ation of Labor in standing for light
beer and wines, declaring It had no
right to make the organization speak
on moral questions. He Insisted that
the federation "did not express the
sentiment of the working man."
Representative Cockran, democrat.
New York, said prohibition or any
other law could not be enforced when
public sentiment was against it.
Many Violation t feararrd.
Representative Burton, republican,
Ohio, declared that "it must be con
ceded that the ISth amendment Im
poses more drastic regulations on the
people ..than any other amendment.
But it was adopted by an overwhelm
ing majority." said Mr. Burton, "and
we must carry out the mandate of the
people."
Warning the house against the con-
CINCINNATI. June 27. A national
organization pledged to combat all
class legislation wherever It appears
; was formed here today unde' the aus
pices of the National Grain Dealers'
association, and an active campaign
r gainst the United States Grain
Growers, Inc., is to be inst'tuted at
once.
Representatives of business organ
izations from all over the country
were present and while the immedi
ate object of attack will be made
i.gainst the United States Grain
Growers' reported campaign to pool
tlie farmers' grain under a six-year
contract, the scope of the organiza
fon as planned is much wider.
Resolutions adopted declared that
the grain trade and general business
interests are directly menaced by ad
verse legislation, both state and na
t'onal, arising on demand of organ-
-?ed special interests. The resolutions
declared such legislation to be vicious
and "deplored the attempt of special
interests by class legislation to break
iown the t-restnt competi'Jve indi
vidualistic business principle and the
substitution thereof of btireaucratia
control."
Practically all of the great business
associations concerned with the han
dling of foodstuffs, either in the raw
cr finished state, are expected, t was
said, to join the association. These
include the United States chamber of
commerce and other chambers of
commerce; the Millers' National fed
eration; the Flour association, the
National Feed Dealers' association.
tie National Hay association, the Na
tional Cotton Growers' association
Growers of Potatoes and of Produce
Wholesale Grocers' association. Coun
try Grain elevators, all state grain
oealers' associations, all grain ex
changes, country banks and export

coasts.
The work of organization w-ill be

CHICAGO, June 27. Employes
virtually every railroad in the coun
try will feel the 12 per cent wage re
duction ordered by the United States
railroad labor board to take effect
July 1, following a supplemental de
cision today extending the order to
nearly 100 additional roads.
The wage slash, authorized by the
board on June 1 to take effect next
Friday, originally contemplated 104
railroads, although not all employes
were affected on all roads. Today's
addendum to that decision included
210 roads, many of which were parties
to the original decision, but which
returned to ask reductions for classes
of their employes not covered in the
first order.
Itlarlne Rates Are Added.
The reductions authorized today
were identical with those of the orig
inal order, the only change being the
addition of rates for marine workers
in certain harbors and of a section
covering restaurant and dining car
employes whose wages were ordered
reduced by 60 per cent of all in
creases received sinced February 29

With exception of a few subsidiary

Gl'LER. Wash., June 27. (Special.)
Guler residents, observed what ap
peared to be a comet, between 2 and
3 o'clock this morning. It lighted
the horizon completely northeast of
Mount Adams, and appeared much like
a large star, probably 25 times the
usual size. The phenomenon was
plainly visible for one hour.
The Tons - Winnecke comet, liks
some stars of a non-celestial variety,
has not lived up to the early an
nouncements of its press agents. Thi
first disappointment that this much
advertised roving member of the solar
system gave the comet fans of Port
land came Sunday when it failed to
arrive. Hopes were held for a delayed
arrival last night, but all in vain. To
night is the absolute deadline and un
less Pons-Winnecke arrives a lot of
lost confidence is going to be marked
up against it and a charge of
A W. O. L. will be set down in
celestial records.
While the comet may i.ot appear

skeptical and doubt the existence of
Pons-Winnecke. It took Its place in
celestial circles ages ago the exact
date not being known, but it did not
claim attention or gain fame unti'.

tary academy, in addition to declaring
that the comet's tail is composed en
tircly of gas. states that the main
body or head is 100,000 miles
diameter. Should mother earth collide I
with the head of Pons-Winnecke there
would be a rather unfortunate shower
of meteors and not much left after
w ard.
There is, according to Professor
Daniels, no danger of a collision of
this character. The nearest approach
that will be made to the earth is
22,000.000 miles. How this distance is
estimated is a secret known only to
astronomers.
Should a meteor fall from the head
of Pons-Winnecke and travel in the
direction of the earth, two things
would protect us from harm the
blanket of air which covers the
earth would consume the meteor, and
the speed at which the earth travels
would carry us out of danger.

SEATTLE, Wash., June 27. (Spe

in the east is a joke." Robert C. Saun
ders, United States attorney, said on
his return here today from a month's
business trip to Washington and New
York. It is not regarded as a crime
by the general public to buy and
serve liquor openly on the Atlantic

automobile driven by 17-year-old

assistants, devoutly wishes

defended or securely in the posses
sion of the Frenchman,
Confidence seems to be the middle
mime of the Frenchman on the one
hand and with Dempsey on the other.
Georges, called "the frog" by the
scribblers, not in derision, but as an
accommodatingly short nickname,
through Manager Descamps has put
in a bid for a September engagement
with Brennan or some other likely
candidate. ,
Krarn After Another Opponent.
Dempsey, on the other hand, through
Jack Kearns. has let it be known that
he will be ready to defend his title
after the Carpentier matoh and that
later, if he cares to accept, there is a
chance for another moving picture in
California; one that he hopes will be
more financially successful than
"Dare Devil Jack," so rudely Inter
rupted by the slacker charges.
"What's the programme after the
fight. Jack?" I queried of Kearns fol
lowing Sunday's workout. '
"We'll stay in the east for a time,"
said Kearns. "I'm looking for an
other opponent for Dempsey and we'll
take on any one who shows up that
the public wants."
Then I asked him about prospec
tive opponents, suggesting as a
starter, Jack Johnson, just about due
for release from prison.
"No," said Kearns, shaking hij
head, "it would hardly be good to
take on Johnson. Just fresh from a
prison sentence. We'll certainly not
consider him."
Harry Mills Ducked.
"Well, Harry Wills then, how about
Wills?"
Kearns ducked that one, declaring
that he had offered Wills an oppor
tunity to become a member of the
training camp where he could slam
the champion as hard as he pleased.
It wasn't any use arguing this
point with Kearns, or trying to point
out to him that Wills, as a prospec
tive opponent, certainly wouldn't con
sider entering the training camp of
the champ. First of all, there would
be no money in it for Wills and in
addition little g'ory. No champion
was ever able to persuade a prospec
tive challenger to work with him
and Kearns knows that as well as
1 do.
Eyes Are on Brennan.
The truth is that both Kearns anj
Dempsey are looking at K. O. Jim
Brennan with longing eyes. It was
the Brennan fight that rather be
smirched the Dempsey record and
if Dempsey gets over the Carpentier
hurdle, he would like to settle once
and for all with Brennan.
Kearns said that Dempsey was not
properly trained for "Brennan, and
even outsiders corroborate this statement.
1 met Jake Adler today at the race
track. Jake used to frequent the
Emeryville track in Oakland in the
olden days and now resides within a
couple of blocks of the apartment
Dempsey used just prior to the Bren
nan fight.
Jack was talking about what a
great boxer Dempsey is, and I asked
him how he could explain away the
Brennan fight.
Dempsey'a Life Too Wild.
"I'll tell you how," he retorted.
Here is where Dempsey lived at 93d
street, and here (he used his pencil
to diagram it all), Is where Jake
Adler lives. Dempsey didn't train
for that fight. It was just one party
after another. The champion must
have his fling, and Dempsey certain
ly was enjoying life. The idea of
serious training didn't even enter his
head. No wonder he made a sorry
showing."
Of course, Dempsey hasn't trained
in any such lackadaisical fashion for
this coming match. He may have
