WASIIINOTON. March 26. (U.
N.) Senator Edge's proposal for a
national official referendum on pro
hibition appears likely to meet an
early death at the hands of the drya
Senator Overman, of North Car
olina, ranking democrat on the Ju
diciary committee, to which Edge's
resolution has been referred, pre
dicted to the United News that it
would never get out of committee.
Th. rennhllcans on the committee.
with one possible exception, are an
drys, and therefore opposed to tne
New Jersey aenator s measure.
Kil.e. in his iolnt resolution, pro
poses that In the 1928 elections, the
following question be placed on oai
lots In all states:
Shall the ' congress amend the
national prohibition act (commonly
l.nA.M aa tha VAUtead net 60 as
tn allow the manufacture, sale,!
transportation and possession of
beverages containing as great an
amount of alcohol as is lawful under
tho constitution. proided that such
amendments shall not Interfere
with the constitutional powers of
the several states to legislate with
respect to Intoxicating liquors as
each state may deem proper!
Ih-cUiio to Approve
The resolution provides that this
question shall bo printed on the Dai
lots without alteration or explana
tion. In view of the probability that
the senate Judiciary committee will
rinriinn ' to BDDrove the proposal,
em m.v move in the senate to dis
charge the committee from consld-
itratlon of tho resolution. Unless
ik. ..nam llnn-un changes, the reso
lution would be rejected there, but
Edge might bo ahlo In this way to
put tho senators on record.
vrfe.-n man nrovidoa that state
legislatures could enact ithe neces
sary cloctlon legislation to put the
question on tho ballots. This would
have to be done at the sessions
which will be held in most states
next wlntor, hance the provision
dolaylng itho balloting until 1928.
In states whose legislatures refuse
... n.n nmimMter general and
secretary ot commerce through his
census organltatlon, would be au
thorised to poll voters. Costs on
both procedures would he borne hy
the federal government.
Raise Maximum
r-.i..'B nim involves no sugges
tion of modifying the constitutional
amendment, hut only of raising the
one-half of one per cent maximum
fixed by congress always remain
ing with the prohibition against "in
toxicating beverages."
n-ki nlnn was nut forward Dy
Edgo to meet the criticisms of drys
who said that the recent newspaper
polls meant nothing, because the
balloting was not under official con
trol. It is put in the form of a
Joint resolution which requires a
mtnrliv vote of boVh Aouses, and
k. iHent's sti-nature. In event
of a white house veto. two-thirds
-,.iritv would bo required in both
houses to over-ride the veto, but the
drys do not expect It over will reacn
tho whito house.
Mrs. Faye McCrossIn, suspected
of being a member of a band of
rol.bt-rs who have committed whole
sale depredations In northern Cali
fornia and Klamath county, was re
captured by Officers Zimmerman
and Bennett here lale Thursday
night as she was prepsrlng to drive
from an Eighth street garage.
Mrs. McCrosaln caused consider
able consternation here early in
the week when she gave the offi
cer the slip as they were sup
posedly detaining her In her home
fnr thn narnose of decoying In
other members of her alleged gang.
The woman Is said to be badly j
wanted In Siskiyou county, where
other members of the alleged law
breakers are being held pending
investigation of various forms of
grand larceny.
The roads have been watched
between Klamath and Ashland
nightly since the woman's escape
but apparently ahe decided to re
main under cover until, the hue
and cry connected with her outwit
ting the officers had died down suf
ficiently to permit a getaway.
Thursday night was apparently
picked for th1a . break for liberty.
