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.

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.

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."

Message Handed de Valera Xot Yet
Explained, Other Than Being
From "Highest Authority."
DUBLIN, Aug. 23. (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.
