Washington, Jan. 13. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOL'RXAU) Kollowlng on the heels of the su preme court decision upholding the Webb-Kenyon law, the United States eenste has passed the Bankhead bill to forbid the use of the mails to letters, circulars or newspapers containing li quor advertising wherever ,the state law forbids liquor advertising. This is on the same principle as the Webb-Kenyon law, and Is urged for the same reason. If the state decides that it does not want liquor literature, H is argued, the desire of the state should be respected, and the protection of the mails should not be thrown around the delivery of invitations to buy forbidden spirits. The bill was passed without serious opposition, after it had been amended In Heveral respects. Originally pen alties were provided for employes of the postal service w?io knowingly as sisted In delivering any of the pro hibited mall. This section was dropped. Another section, which, was by some construed to limit the application of the measure to certain kinds of adver tislnz was also eliminated, in order that the bill may be broad enough to cover any kind of liquor "bait." An 'amendment was added, making it the duty-of the postmaster general to issue public notice, or bulletins from time to time, enumerating the states that have forbidden liquor ads. This will make it possible lor news paper publishers easily to ascertain the states into which they cannot send papers that carry liquor advertising. An amendment permitting newspapers with such ads to be mailed for the pur )ose of serving process in legal pro- teedlngs was rejected. The chief object, Senator Bankhead aid, is not to hit newspapers, but to is top the sending of circular letters and circulars soliciting mall orders for ltquuT Into the dry states. Some of tlio southern states since they went Cry have been llooded. The decision in the Webo-Kenyon case removes .very brake on the power of the state to do Just as it wishes, and the ad vertising bill will make it Impossible to tell the inhabitants of the dry states where liquor can be" had.

PROGRESSIVES IN ALL SECTIONS FOR REVOLT Many Messages' Are Received Showing the Sentiment Against Tactics Used, ROBINS VOICES APPROVAL Conference Xs Held ay Verkiaa With Colonel XooMTelt, Klrawi John son Wires "Oo to It." New Tork, Jan. H. (U. P.) George W. Perkins, leader of the Progressive Republican revolt against the execu tive committee of the national Repub lican committee, started lining up Pro gressives all over the country today In a finish fight on the national commit tee. He announced that he bad con ferred with Colonel Roosevelt. Raymond Robins, well known Illi nois Progressive leader, who supported Hughes during the last campaign, also held a conference with Perkins today. He announced afterward his fuM and hearty approval of the protest started by Perkins and Everett Colby of New Jersey and their demand for an Imme diate meeting of the Republican com mittee to undo the work done by the executive committee. Xowans Oppose Adams. Perkins announced receipt of the following telegram from Senator-Elect Hiram Johnson of California: "With your efforts to make the Re publican party progressive, I am In full sympathy and hearty accord. Go to It and all Progressives will be with you." Regarding claims of executive mem bers as to the progresslvlsm of Vice Chairman Adams of Iowa, whom they chose for that position, Perkins had a sheaf of telegrams from Iowans. George C. Wright, who was Pro gressive candidate for governor In 1912, telegraphed from. Nevada, Iowa. "You are right. We should call a meeting of the national executive com mittee. Men like Adams cannot lead the Progressive party." Early Showdown Wanted. J. H. Wyllie, Progressive state chair man in 1912, wired from Sigourney, Iowa: "I heartily concur with you and your associates In the action taken. Stand firm." Perkins also made public this mes sage from A. N.

PLOT TO ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT CHARGED TO THOMAS MOONEY Anarchist on Trial for Murder Also Accused of Planning Overthrow of Government. San Francisco, Jan. 19. Characteris ing it as a "gallery play" designed to prejudice the public mind. Burke Cockran, chief counsel for the defense In the Thomas Mooney preparedness parade bomb murder trial, today denied the charges brought by the prosecution in its opening statement that Mooney, Miss Eleanor Fltigerald, Alexander Rerkman, Edward Nolan and others were in a conspiracy to assassinate President "Wilson and overthrow the government. Charges that Mooney was a mem ber of a radical anarchistic group that had openly threatened President Wilson with assassination, were made yesterday by Assistant District Attor ney Edward Cunha In his penlac statement. Cunha decUred to ths Jury that the prosecution would prove by letters written by Mooney that the defendant was associated with Alexander Berk man, Miss Eleanor Fitzgerald. Eric B. Morton and other anarchists in a prop aganda of violence, and that the pre paredness parade bomb explosion was the direct outcome of the doctrines which they advocated. "We will prove." said Cunha, "that some time prior to January 1, 1916, Thomas J. Mooney, the defendant here charged with murder, entered Into con spiracy with one Berkman, one Fitz gerald, some of his codefendants here and others, to cause an uprising of the people that had for its purpose the seising of all private property and the state and federal governments. "They organised under the name of -The Blasters.' It was the name se lected by themselves and shortly there after they began the publication In this city of a paper called 'The Blast,' and in their initial issue the purpose of the publication and the plans of the conspiracy were announced. ''We propose to connect Thomas J. Mooney.. by his own letters and his own handwriting, as a party to this enterprise, and as a principal in the scheme to bring about a revolution and destroy the government. We will go further and show that these conspir ators sought to create a prejudice against the federation of labor, to be tray labor unions, and to bring about I the disorganization of all labor organ i lsatlons, and that their apparent par ticipation In strikes was not la road ' faltb." 1. f White House Not Informed, Washington. Jan. 19. (L N. 8.)
