Chicago, Ills, Feb. 25-Special-
The center of the fight over the ma
tional question Of prohibition has sud-
denly shifted for the time being from
the south to Chicago and Illinois. Both
the prohibitionists and the liquor deal
ers and brewers realize that the flu
ture spread or checking Of the pro-
hibition movement is vitality depend
ent on the issue Of the April elections
which will be held throughout this
state. The prohibitionists from their
headquarters in this city are strain
ing every nerve to carry the day. The
liquor dealers on the other hand have
caused general surprise and commend.
alton by the new stand which they
have taken. At a special meeting of
the National Wholesale Liquor Deal
ers' association held here a few days
ago, majority Of the leading liquor
dealers came out in favor Of putting
an end to any abuses now existing
in the liquor trade. At the same time
they expressed their intention of
Coming out into the open" and invit-
ing discussion of the entire question.
This is the policy which has been pur-
sued by the prohibitionists for fifty
years. The liquor dealers claim that
they have more facts on their side
than the prohibitionists and that
while the fifty years fight has been
waging, prohibition in actual practise
has proved a failure wherever it has
been tried. Their evidence should
prove interesting and the facts will
show whether they are right or wrong,
The significant point is the appeal to
facts for it marks the passing of the
old days when silence rather than
facts was regarded as the proper an
swer to any public attack on an es.
tablished business.

WORE A NATTY
BATHING SUIT
One Of BaltimOre's SWagger
Set Goes to a Dinner
Thus ALFRED
Is Dumped Into Tub of Water
and Sprayed With
Champagne
It Was Real Nice Party But
Staid People Are
AghaSt

Baltimore, Md, Fe0. 24-The staid
and conservative portion of Baltimore
aristocracy is gasping for breath over
the details of subscription dinner,
costume affair, given few nights ago
by number of the smart set of this
city at the Elk Ridge Hunt club. Une
of the prettiest of Baltimores young
married women, who attended the din
ner in bathing suit, was dumped into
an improvised fountain and was given
a shampoo with settler, various mem.
bers of the club standing about the
tank with siphon bottles.
The dinner is said to have been got
ten up by Mrs. Henry Clews, jr., Of
New York, formerly Miss Louise MOE
ris, of this city. who hvened up mat.
tiers some winters ago by jumping
into a fountain of cold water on re
turning from bah. Her companion,
in this escapade was Harry Lehr.
| The matron who went to the din
ner attired in the bathing suit was
Mrs. Raj Parry, the wife of one of
the most prominent clubmen of this
1 city. Secretary of State N. Winslow
Williams and Mrs. Williams were in
| the party. Some of the most promi-
nent names in Baltimore figure in the
list OF guests. Miss Virginia Latrobe
daughter of one of Maryland's most
| illustrious families, went as a nurse.
Others had grotesque costumes. There
was a mock visit from the stork, with
triplets of Teddy bears as the result.
AS the dinner progressed the fun
grew faster under the mellowing in
fiuence of the champagne, of which
there was unlimited quantity, and f.
nally matters took such turn that
Gen. and Mrs. Alexander Brown, lead
ers Of one section of the smart set Of
this city, silently departed.
Finally someone suggested that Mrs.
Parry's bathing suit was not properly
| bathing suit until wet. Accordingly
tub filled with water and flowers
was brought in and Mrs. Parry was
put in the tub despite her struggles.
During the hilarity which followed
Mrs. Parry was given a shower bath
of carbonated water.
Among those present were Mrs.
]. Swan Frick, Mr.. and Mrs. o. How
ard Harvey, Mr.. and Mrs. 1. Winslow
Williams, Mrs. Henry Clews. jr.
It is said that the governors of the
Elk Ridge Hunt club are making an
Investigation. Mrs. Parry stated last
night that the dinner was private
one and did not concern any but those
attending it, and she declined on that
score to say what went on. She re-
marked that she had worn the bathing
suit at other functions and could not
see why wearing it at the dinner
: should cause so much talk.
