Avalanche of Sentiment Is Swept Down on Senate Liquor Committee WOMEN RECEIVE HEARING National Law Enforcement Confer ence Jjemls Aid to Support of Present Prohibition Statutes WASHINGTON, April, 12. (By Associated Press.) An avalanche of protests against liberalization of the Volstead act today engulfed the senate liquor hearing commit tee. It was rolled np by some three score of women, most of them of ficials of 'church, school and wom en's organizations wbo are here for the meeting of the women's national law enforcement con ence, Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, of Bev erly, Mass., chairman of the con ference struck the keynote in her opening statement. '"We repre sent here today not only organi zations of women," she said, "but as a whole, we represent the home, the school, the church, and we stand firmly for no amendment of the eighteenth amendment. "We stand for no modification of the Volstead act, but rather a strengthening. We stand for strict law enforcement, with the remov al of al men who do not strictly enforce the law." Her statement was reinforced by the oral or written testimony of the witnesses she introduced and who at times pased before the committee In such rapid succession that even the official stenographer had difficulty in keeping abreast o- f the proceedings. The senators and New York and Maryland came in for stack from some o fthe women. Mrs. Peabody (Continued on part 4.) INJURIES MAY BE FATAL YOUTH "MAY DIE RESULT OF PLANING MIUL ACCIDENT ALBANY, Ore., April 12. (By Associated Press.)

THE MAGNETIC POLE Tuxedo Park Purchase Veto ed at Polls, 410 Oppose, 263 in Favor I SLIGHT INTEREST SHOWN Distinrt Indifference Shown by Balloting; Tax Misunder standing Urged as Explaination Indicating distinct indifference as to the outcome of the special election held yesterday, at, which only 673 cast ballots, the proposal to purchase the so-called Tuxedo Park site, between South Church and .South Capitol streets and Howard and Oxford streets, on which to consruct a new school building was turned down by tax payers who cast 410 votes against the purchase and 263 in favor. The proposal involved no in crease In taxation and did not call for the issue of additional bonds, though the wording of the issue on the ballot was misleading. The question which In reality meant, shall the school board be authorized to buy for $19,500, a tract of 13 and half acres, using for that purpose a portion of the $125,000 already on hand for school use was answered In the negative. Those seeking to explain the outcome of the election Urged first the impression that voting "yes" would result In increas in taxation or the floating of additional bonds, and second, an alleged split in opinion on the part of the resi dents of the southern portion of the size of the property as finally determined fdr submission to the ballot. School officials in general Ex pressed little surprise' in the out come feeling that the election at which the proposal for increased salaries was defeated had shown the public to be In no frame of mind, at the present time, to In crease the equipment or salaries o fthe school teachers. KILLED IN AUTO CRASH PORTLAND WOMAN KILLED WHEN CAR LEAVES ROAD WALLACE, Idaho, April 12. (By Associated Press.) Miss Edith Roberts, 54, Portland, Or., was instantly killed here today when an automobile driven by A. L. Carlson of Wallace plunged over an embankment and rolled 75 feet down a hill. SANTA "ROSA, Cal., April Luther Burbank is to sleep beneath a Lebanon cedar, planted years ago in the old Burbank gardens, jacross the highway from the home in which he died early Sunday morning." Iri the course of his years of woifk he rested many times 'under the old tree to seek relief frohi a beating sun or protection from a passing shower. The tree is in plain view of builded a semi-public mausoleum, commemorative of the prin- tiyiB uuu spini oi xturoana s me wdfk, unstinting private effort for the public weal. All of these arrangements were detailed and requested by Mr. Burbank himself sometime before his death. He had also requested that his funeral be without cere mony or ostentation of any sort. His belief against a literal God precludes a church ceremony, and his desire for lack of display and ritualism may act to forbid a cere mony according to the Masonic rite, Mr. Burbank having been a member of that order. The present' plan Is to have his body remain in the room in which he died until the time comes on Wednesday next to bear him across the street to the grave be neath the Lebanon cedar. There Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court, a close friend of years, will read the ora tion voiced by the agnostic, Rob ert Ingersoll, at the funeral of his brother Ebon, in Washington, D. C, May 31, 1879: "While yet in love with life and raptured with the world, he passed to silence and pathetic dust." The public services will have the impressive atmosphere of the Unitarian ritual. Rev. Caleb S. S. Dutton, pastor of the Unitarian church in San Francisco will preach a sermon. Rev. Dutton married Mr. Burbank and his sec retary, the former Elizabeth Wat ers of Michigan, 10 years ago. The world, which beat a path to Burbank's door followed him to day into the room of death to kneel In spirit at his bedside and mourn his passing. The literal manifestation of its grief was ex pressed in countless messages of all types, telegrams, letters, tele phone calls and personal visits. Directors of the chamber of commerce voted unanimously to day to caneel all arrangements for the annual .rose carnival, a fam ous fete of! northern California, because of the death of Burbank. The fete had been set for May 14 and 15 and Mr. Burbank was to have crowned the queen and par ticipated otherwise as one of the leading figures.

Williams on a charge of drunkenness rested its case with 4 bang late today after calling to the witness stand Brig adier General Smedlsy D. Butler, the colonel's accuser, and letting him "tell It! to the marines." The general, told in ' ho uncer tain terms j why he ordered Col onel Williams' arrest for alleged intoxication in the public rooms of a Coronado hotel on the night of March 6j, last, shortly after 'a dinner at Colonel Williams home, 1 his General Butler's honor. "I tried to see Just as little as I could -and get away with It," Philadelphia's former director of public safety, explained after de scribing the serving of cocktails at the colonel's home and the colonel's behavior at the' hotel la ter, "but I could not ignore what I saw at the hotel. Colonel Wil liams was-incoherent. He was loquacious. ! He' giggled. His eyes (were bloodshot; they had a queer, vacant stare. He was drunk." Describing the. dinner in his honor at Colonel Williams home, the general paid cocktails were of fered him as soon as he entered, and that the colonel disregarded his refusal i to drink and urged him to "have one." As the dinner progressed, the general testified, "I got the im pression Williams was becoming intoxicated. So I went out and sat jn the porch." But a little later continued the Fitness, other guests emerged 'rom the house, bringing the gen eral's cap Sand the Information hat "we all! are going over to the liotel to dance." General Butler said he saw Colonel Mitchell stagger out bf t he house and across the lawn at this point, but ignored the inci dent hoping and. believing that the Colohel would 'be pnt to bed by one of his. friends and would not show up at jthe hotel. But , when J the', general arrived at the hotel, Del Coronado, the Colonel was there. . I ""He ,was -i standing In a room off the hotel ball room when ? I noticed him," he related.
