QUANTS I'AKS. Ore., Jan. 31.
(A) Thirty hours alone in tho tall
I'ori'HtH of the Siskiyou mountains
left no visible effect on two-year
ohl Koithie Dale liusen. who to
night was sound asleep in (he
mountain ranch home of his par
ents 12 miles north of here.
The lad's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Husen, exhausted by the long
tense, hours during which more
than 200 men and women comb
ed the mountains, found relief in
tears and sleep. The father had
been tramping the hills continu
ously since his son disappeared
Friday, while playing hide and
seek with other hoys and girls.
The search ended three miles
from the Iluson home just as
darkness settled over the moun
tains tonight. The child's physi
cal condition was good despite the
fact lie had spent a night and
nearly two days in the forest.
After the territory in which the
boy was believed to have been lost
had been covered several times by
disorganized searchers, the parties
were assembled and the members
deployed ten feet apart to effect
thorough search.
Legionnaires, citizens, and Nat
ional Guardsmen who joined the
search, refused to quit until ex
haustion forced them out. The
Hed Cross and the Legion Auxil
iary sent out units to serve hot
coffee nnd sandwiches to the men.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. (VIV-
! The lemncraiic party was warned
tmla.v that its dry members will
resist any attempt lo make the
party w in a Hare of prohihi-
lion debate that swept h-nh houses
of congress.
The warning to the Democrats
came from the newest Democratic
senator
olina.
-Morrison, of North Car
K e present iiti vo Lehlbaeh, Hp
publican, New Jersey, asked In
t the house that congress consider
his resolution to
eighteenth amendment
peal the
Ho baaed
his demand on the Wickersham
report.
I Morrison's statement was inspir-
cd by attaeks on prohibition from
! Senators Ty dings. Democrat, Mary
land, and Itlaine. Republican.
Wisconsin, in w h I c h .Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts,
. later joined.
The senate debate took place
on the motion of Senator Howell,
Republican, Nebraska, to resume
consideration of his bill to provide J
a rigid prohibition enforcement
law for the district of Columbia.
Tho motion vn not acted on to
day nnd will be tho pendlnit busi
ness when tho neuato meets on
Monday.
Lehlhach, nil ndmlnlstintlon Ilo
puhllcnn, predicted that tho puny
which fallH now to meet the pro
hibition issue squarely "will be
overwhelmlnKly repudiated nt tho
next national election."
SnyliiK that a majority of tho
Wickersharn rolllinlssiou believed
(tin- etKhtcorttrr aniuiitlinont could
never he ndeqiinlely enforced,
Lehlhnch contended congress "must
no longer teniporlr.e.'
.Morrison told the senato pro
hibition would never he repealed
and Huh) "I servo notice the hope
of nnti-pi-ohlbltlonlsts to capture
the platforms of the two great
parties will nover ho successful."
Ulalnn told the senato "Corrup
tion touches every department of
tho Kovernnient that is called
upon to enforce tho law."
Morrison usserted corruption in
oonnciilcin with liquor traffic had
antedated prohibition nnd that
corruption hi connection with en
forcliiK tho revenue laws before
enactment of the oluhtoenth
amendment was us bad us that
now described.
Tydi.iKS said prohibition was
enacted without the approval of
thoso whom It was to affect. Only
4,000 men In coiikicss nnd stato
ICKlslntiires voted on its enactment,
he Hfilil.
"We who nro not In favor of
nntional prohibition," TydinKs
said, "are not yelljjiB for tho
whiskey bottle, the wine Rlass, the
beer koK or the open saloon. What
wn nro contending Is that prohi
bition oiiRht not to have been
made n national question. It oiiKht
to hnvo been settled by each
state."
DeelarlnB the drys wero not
willing to take enough money nut
of tho treasury to enforco prohi
bition, Tydlmrs said he would voto
for 1300.(100,000 for 200,000 en
forcements agents so every a gem
could watch every 600 or 1,000
people.
Walsh said that "any govern
ment which seeks to forbid tho
use of something that Is not in
Irinslcally bad cannot claim to he
extend Inif freedom to Its people."

word they would retreat not an
inch from the position the house
assumed yesterday in rejecting the
first and broadest point of the
democratic program.
In a serieH of votes the weighty
republican majority there refused
to give $25,000,000 of govern
mental money to the needy, either

proposed agencies.
