BT MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by New York Evening Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, D. C, August 23. (Special.) The feeling that has flamed up in congress over the amendments to the prohibition en forcement act is as strong as any emotion that has blazed Jn that body for a long time. It is not a feeling that is unfriendly to prohibition. If the wets are taking any comfort out of.it they are mistaken. The prevail ing feeling of congress Is u dry as ever it was. But on the part of a group of sen ators and representatives, which is large in number and determined in spirit, there is a fierce resentment against Invasions of ancient consti tutional rights which have been com mitted and tolerated in the service of prohibition. Limitations to Be Imposed. For the future persons engaged In searching our arguments against pro hibition will be compelled to restrict themselves with the same limitations that have hTt?n imposed by law for hundreds of years on officials en gaged In fer.-eting out murder and other felonies. Most of the pirohibitionists realize that they must give up some of the things they haze practiced during the last three years. They know it will no longer be possible to search a man's house for licruor unless they have a warrant, but they hope to re tain the right to search automobiles without a warrant. Knpionage Carried Too Far. This determination to get back to constitutional safeguards for, indi vidual rights and liberties gees fur ther than congress and further than the subject of prohibition enforce ment. There is a wide-spread feeling in Washington that during the previous administration, espionage functions of the government ran pretty wild. It arose out of tiie war, and so long as the war continued there was some ex cuse for it. But there was no excuse for many of the things that were done in the name of murdering the public safety, nor for perpetuating the spirit of the espionage during the two years following the end of the war. There is a disposition on the part of congress to inquire whether the enormous expansion of the secret service work of the government dur ing the war was not overdone, and whether some of the individuals and officials connected with it did not go oenina an reason. Allied to this spirit in favor of re storing constitutional safeguards is equally perceptible disposition to tret back to a peace basis as regards free speecn. Deb Amnesty Expected. Lverything that any observer can learn of the spirit of the Harding ad ministration would point to early amnesty ior n-ugene Debs. The chief obstacle is believed to be the more or less organized opposition carried on by some of the officials of the American Legion. How far these officials speak fur the rank and file of the service men cannot well be known. A senator who ODnosed the bonus bill and who. because of that opposition was threatens hv officials of the American Legion in the senate, made an investigation and came to the conclusion that out of iuu.uou ex-service men in his state only about 10.000 are members of the American Legion. Representation la Challenged. He further estimated that out of the io.uuu me.ncers only about 1000 at tended meetings or showed anything like real interest. The net of this calculation was that the really active and energetic members of the legion do not compose more than 1 per cent or me ex-service men. This was the conclusion of onlv one senator and was based on conditions in one state. But It had weight with some senators who were doubtful of wnat to do about the bonus bill. If tne opposition of the American Lee-Ion really represents the rank and file of the ex-service men it constitutes a picture of some 2,000,000 young men m tneir zus ana 30s makinsr an or ganized effort to keep in Jail a genial old man of 63. Probably many of those who loin in the effort to prevent amnesty for Debs do not know either the prisoner or tne nature of the crime for which he is suffering punishment. A large section of the public probably thinks or JJeDs as oelng roughly the sam kind of man and guilty of the same kind of crime aa Haywood of the I. W. W. What leagues of difference there are between Deba and Haywood is too long a story to repeat here. H. M. Strong Metal Products " com pany, Cleveland, $6000; Cleveland Home Manufacturing company, $15, 000; George B. Wickens, Loraine, O.. $103,000, and the Portage Packing company, Akron, O., $31,000. In addition about $500,000 in notes. supposed to have been signed by the American Rubber company, have not yet been found. It was not known whether they have already been de posited or still are in the hands of the band. The total amount of notes known to have been issued was put at $1,602,000 by federal officials today.

PRIVATE LINES DESIRED International Gathering Concludes Two Months' Discussion of Air Wave Telephony. REBEL WOULD SURRENDER Moroccan Chief liead y to Make Peace With Spain. MELILLA. Morocco, Aug. 23. (By the Associated Press.) Reports re ceived here today from 1 Arleh aay that Raieunl, the rebel leader in this region (probably Raisuli, the famous outlaw, is meant) has sent an emis sary to General Berenguer the Span ish high commission, offering to sur render. , The reason for his offer, he said, is the bad state of his health, and he Is suffering from excessive obesity.

Seaborg, historian. PARIS, Aug. 23. (By the Associ ated Press.) American backing' of wireless telephony as the big thing of the near future prevailed in the international wireless conference. which closed last night, after having, been in session for two months. The American delegation headed by lajor General George O. Squier. chief of the signal corps of the United States army, came to Paris with a definite programme. Most of the programme is said to have been adopted, althousrh the con tusions of the conference will be ept secret until they are presented to the various governments by their delegates. The principal contention of the merlcans was that certain bands of waves should be reserved for wire less telephony. This was oDDOsed by the Europeans, as they considered that telephony would occupy too reat a part of the usable waves. With the backing of Japan, however, the American viewpoint finally was dopted. Importance Is Emphasised. The Americans pictured presidents nd premiers of the future speaking irectly among nations and empha sized the overwhelming importance f wireless telephony in supreme mo ments, as well as the necessity for aiding in its development. The activity of the Americans in selectivity," or the development of the equivalent of the private line In ireless, as opposed to the present party line" where anyone may listen on a conversation, met with recog- ition by the conference. Among the 14 principal questions with which the conference dealt and dopted was a recommendation by the Americans that certain waves be sslgned to each country, with treaty provisions limiting each country to the use of Instruments adapted to those wave lengths, so that the re sult would be secret wireless. It was agreed to apportion these waves, probably designating each group by color, so that each country might have the exclusive use of cer tain colored waves. Extension of Cables Advocated. It was the opinion of " the confer ence that wireless never would su persede submarine cables and it ad- ocated the extension of cable facill- ies. The speedy elimination of static Interference, which now is so serious to wireless, was predicted. The conference emphasized the need of governments interesting themselves in wireless telephony. The eport of the conference, which will fill several mail bags, offers solu tion for problems that were not solved at the international communi cations conference. It was believed that this report will be submitted to the -Washington government in No vember. SUSPECTS BROUGHT BACK Alleged Robbers Arrested in Kan sas CHy in Seattle. SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 83. E. D.

OHIO TOWN LS CHOSEN National Health Council to Try Ex periments on Children. WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 23. Se lection of the town of Mansfield, and the county of Richmond, O., as the lo cation of its five-year experiment in the development of children was an nounced today by the National Child Health council. The Ohio communi ties were picked from 80 which sought the distinction, as most nearly com plying with the qualifications of typical American community. The demonstration will be con ducted, the council announced today, to show what can be done through concerted action to increase the health and strength of the rising gen eration. FRAUD SUM IS HUGE (Continued From First Pajre.) lorwarded to the Washington man, who would deposit it before the cer tified checica on the original trans action were cleared and returned. Many other deals of a like type were also described. Accord inir to the alleged confession made by Harshman, the band made considerable money disposing of real estate mortgages.

SANTA FEU N. M.. Aug. 23. Tlrcio de Vargas, aged 56, a delegate at th state republican convention held here last week, was shot and killed at his home at Canjllon, Rio Arriba county last night. The killing was reported to the dis trlct attorney here today. He is mak Ing an investigation. with- necessities which no previous j exposition has experienced. The tre mendous growth of automobile trans portation in the last few years will make It absolutely necessary that ample room be provided as a suitable tourist camp for automobilists. "It Is practically impossible to esti mate the probable growth of automo bile traffic in the next three or four years, or to arrive with any accuracy as to how great will be the tourist phase of this method of travel. Your committee is of the opinion that in considering a site, the exposition man agement should give careful study to this as providing suitable equipment Iri the way of water supply, sewerage and public utilities to accommodate a large number of automobile tourists. Camp Nearby Urged. "Tour committee does not recom mend that the site of a large automo bile camp should be in the actual ex position grounds, but does believe that it should be in such close prox imity to the exposition grounds so that all tourists using the camp can walk to the exposition. The present municipal automobile camp located near Peninsula park contains approx imately 12 acres and we feel that the principal automobile camp for the ex position should be at least ten times as large, for a camp of 100 acres will provide accommodations for only 10,- 000 machines, allotting about 600 square feet for each machine, includ ing drives, which we feel is small enough space. "In the sites being contemplated by the city of Philadelphia for its Sequl- Centennial in 1926, they are holding close to from 1600 to 2000 acres and urging the setting aside of 300 acres for the accommodation of automobiles for camping and parking. We alsc desire to say that reoorts from Den ver for this year show that their automobile camp is handling approx imately 2000 cars daily. Aviation Presents Problem. "Not only does the automobile tour ist present problems in considering sites, but with the rapid growth of aviation, provision will also have to be made to cover this method of trans portation. Owing to the variety of winds, it is, we feel, necessary that nothing less than 160 acres or a tract one-half mile square, as an aviation field, should be considered. If a field of this size is not procurable an shaped tract with the longest leg 2S00 feet long and facing in a northwest erly direction and with the shorter leg 1800 feet long and the width of both legs approximately 500 feet, can be serviceable for commercial flying, but from investigation the committee feels that it will take a field one-half mile square to accommodate army planes and possibly this will not be large enough to accommodate the larger planes now being constructed "A water landing for hydroplanes should be considered in conjunction With the aviation field."

(By the Associ ated Press.) Of two meetings held at Mansion House today that of the Dall Eireann, to which the proposed eply of the cabinet to the British overnment's peace offer was com unicated, and that of the Sinn Fein executive committee the latter was considered the more important and it Is thought probable that it was to give the Dail further time to con- der the cabinet's reply that an ad journment over Wednesday was taken fter it had finished consideration of epartmental reports and other busi ness. The Dail now is faced with the task of dealing with the cabinet's epiy ana it is consiaerea it cannot delay its answer much longer. When it reassembles Thursday, it is likely to have 'before it some report from the Sinn Fein executive committee. r at least it is believed the leaders will know what the executive com mittee thinks of the situation. Sinn Fein Clubs Governed. The executive committee Is com- osed of representatives from every ounty and is the governing body of all the Sinn Fein clubs in Ireland. In consulting it the Dall considers Is dealing with those who elected it: The meetings of the two bodies were held in the Mansion house, and It was believed both concerned them- elves with the attitude taken by the rish republicans toward the terms laid down by Prime Minister Lloyd George as the basis of a settlement of he Irish controversy. Speculation Ia Rife. Considerable speculation was caused here last night by the delivery of a message to Mr. De Valera by Mon- lgnor Edward Mulhern, bishop of Dromore. It was asserted the mes sage had not come from Cardinal Logue, head of the Catholic church in reland, but there was no further in formation relative to the origin of the message except, it came from "highest authority." Shortly after the Dail Eireann con vened. It was declared in some quar- ers that the Irish- clergy was urging such action by the parliament that would preclude resumption of war fare between the republican forces and the British soldiery or constabu lary. An Interesting Tact In connection with today's meeting of the Sinn Fein executive was that while all the members of the Dail Eireann had per mission to attend the session of the Dail in the Mansion house, there were many members of the Sinn Fein body who were "on the run," their cases not being covered by the immunity given the Dall members, and some of hem being men whom the crown forces have been seeking for weeks, and even months. Influence Is Rxerted. The influence of the civil adminis trators at Dublin castle and of others the Irish office, who are making all efforts to obtain peace in Ireland, was expected, however, to insure against, any interference with these men by the military authorities. Insurance underwriters of Dublin yesterday asked and received three pounds sterling per hundred pounds to nsure the plant of a Dublin newspa per In sympathy with the Sinn Fein against riot or other civil commotion for three months. This is five times as much as would be paid ordinarily and is taken here to show how divided is the best local opinion on the ques tion of a renewal of the Btrlfe in Ire land.
