Gilbert Getting Tired of At
tacks on Men Who Would
Enforce the Law
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7 An old
time liquor fight short but
stormy flared up in the house
today during debate on the $115,
000,000 treasury supply bill with
its item of $9,000,000 for prohi
bition enforcement.
Prohibition . Shots Many
Starting earlier in the day when
Representative Magee, Republican
New York, a member of the com
mittee which fromed the bill, de
clared that defiance ot the Vol
stead lay "was so prevalent as to
threaten our institutions." It
ended abruptiy just after Repre
sentative. Hill, Republican, Mary
land, a leader in the movement
for light , wine and beer legisla
tion, had announced what he pro
posed to offer in the form of an
amendment when the Republican
action was reached tomorrow.
Meanwhile, friends of prohibi
tion, overwhelmingly in control,
took one shot after another at
those who sought to take the law
and by parlltmentary methods cut
short Mr. Hill's attempt to con
nect the prohibition in a friendly
way with the Kn Klux, Klan.
Gilbert Getting Tired
In 'urging congress to give to
the states the right to say',' what
alcoholic content would make
wine and beef intoxicating, Mr.'
Magee declared it probably would
retult In a beverage, wade from
pure ingredients and "the restor
ation of wholesome respect for the
law."
Declaring the liquor traffic had
thrived on misery until the peo
ple, handling it as. if., it .were a
serpent, had choked it, "Represen
tative Gilbert. Democrat Of Ken
tucky, shouted . to the house -that
he was getting tired of. the con
stant" attacks 'on men who were
rylng to see that the law was
obeyed.
Half a dozen members were
on their feet at once trying ,to
break in with questions when Mr.
Hill, with six minutes to close the
general debate, explained the na
ture of his amendments.
Progress Slow
'In the r.rst place," he shouted
above the hubbub. "I shall pro
pose that the house strike Out
of the bill the item of $150,000
for the prohibition unit publicity
bureau; that the sums of from
$135,000 to $150,000 as hereto
fore, shall not be spent hereafter
in open violation of the Volstead
law for the purchase of bootleg
liquor to be used as evidence;
that none of the government ap
propriation shall b used ot de
fray the expenses of stump speak
ers sent over the comjtry by the
prohibition commissioner."
Hill Bombarded
All the time Mr. Hill was beinsr
bombarded with questions as to
whether he was trying to lighten
up the Volstead act. "I shall al
so propose to strike out the ap
propriation of all funds," he went
on, "for legal advisers, special
counsel to the prohibition unit
on the ground that its legal fcrce
does not know how to construe
the law which exists today. An
other amendment provides that
no part of the fine shall be used
by the commissioner for propa
ganda purposes In an attempt to
defeat members of congress, and
finally, to transfer enforcement
of prohibition from the treasury
to the department of justice.
where it belongs.
Quotes Publicity Bureau
Mr. Hill declared that anybody
connected with the government
"who approves the Ku Klux Klan
should not receive government
funds for law enforcement.
When forced to sit down by
expiration of his time, Mr. Hill
was attempting to read an extract
from a press bulletin' by the pro
hibition unit's publicity bureau,
which said that th "prohibition
director of Arkansas had reported
that ,the , Ku Klux, Klan had or
ganized a campaign against moon
shiners." fiVfr-.w vT- -

Hurry-up Slogan of Postal Au

Outgoing mail for Christmas
ha already begun to swell the
volume of business in the Salem
postoffice, but only very little
package mail has as yet begun to
arrive. Somewhere in transit
there is doubtless a whale of a
mail; carloads and acres and
mountains of it going east and
'est, passing each other in the
deserts and canyons and in the
grimy city yards. But only a lit
t'e of it has yet arrived any
where. It is reported from the postof
fice that-the annual slogan "Shop
early; ship early," seems to be
better heeded this year than ver
before. It is going to be desir
able that the shipping be earlier
this year than usual, for Christ
mas, falling on Monday, follows
the regular Sunday holiday, and
there will be no mail deliver d
for tbope two days. Anybody sen 1
ing holiday gifts should bear tt Is
fact In mind, or expect the gif :s
to get in on the " blue-day aft r

and this city. She had sued, them
for a million dollars, alleging that
they alienated the affections of
her young husband, C. Douglas
Woodhouse, who is now at Reno,
Nev., seeking divorce. The award
is one ot. the. largest ever returned
in s.uch cases.
Counsel for the elder Wood
houses immediately moved that
the verdict be set aside. Argu
ments on their appeal will be
heard later. Of- the $465,000
awarded, $400,000 was given as
actual damages to the young wife
and $65,000 as a punitive award.
The romance of young Wood
house with the "poor Uttle girl"
who lived next door, was fairly
familiar to Burlington people be
fore the trial, in which was re
told the circumstances of their
meeting at a college prom the
courtship and marriage while
Woodhouse was at an army camp
in J918, and their separation a
little more than a year later.
Young Woodhouse did not ap
pear during the trial, in which it
developed that he was in residence
at Reno. He sent a deposition
In which each side found state
