" The upshot of the hearings eo far Has" been to-establish the fact that prohibition Is unenforceable by any means that the federal gov ernment may employ, short of col ossal and monstrous system of ty ranny which ' public opinion ." would ever 'permit to be organized and brought Into play. : The testimony of the Canadian witnesses plainly points to the Que bec system of supervision and con trol as the best means of regulat ing the use of liquor In the event Of the 18th. amendment being re pealed or amended and the recon cilability of 2.75 per cent beer with the prohibition of the 18th amend Blent against intoxicating beverages Is the matter of common knowledge and hardly needed to be proved, ii The most noteworthy features of the tsettmooy produced before the committee were the confession ot the able and energetic Mr. Buckner, TJalted States district attorney for G Grip MM?

"I honestly believe I could have stood a dose of them without feel ing them, he said. - Captain Rioe said he did not see Colonel Williams take a drink on the night of the party and It was a "stumper" 'to .'him ' how he "got drank." - He did not even see the colonel go to the kitchen where the cocktails were concocted, he said. -' "I - took ' the Colonel ' and ' Mrs. William to the Hotel del Coronado In my automobile after the party at the home. the witness related. i't did not notice anything unusual about his condition when we left the home, but as soon as wereached the hotel' he appeared to be drunk. "Where he could bave gotten that way I don't know. "I lotd one' of the other officers at that time, I was glad the colonel did not drive hie own car' to the hotel.
