Peoria, Ills, May. 20--Arguing along the lines that prohibition does not pro hibft Mayor David s. Rose, of Milwau- kee, met Dan R. Sheen. before 2,0o0 people at the Coliseum here tonight on the negative side of the question: Re solved: That prohibition as applied to the manufacture and sale of intoxicat- ing beverages Is right"
 The local advocate of cold water opened the debate with an address of one hour. He urged the protection of the homes. of the schools. of the churches, and of the rising generation against the evils of the liquor traffic. Half of the criminals in the Npeniten- tiaries. he said, were there through the Almighty established prohibition first in the Garden of Eden. the speaker maintained, when Adam was prohibited from eating an apple. Since that time. prohibitory legislation had been passed and had been more or less effective.
 Mayor Rose urged that the AL mighty's mandate regarding the apple did not prohibit Adam from eating and argued that since that time the laws against the use of intoxicating bever- ages had been no more successful.
 The Milwaukeean quoted Scripture in support of the theory that Noah had been drunkard after leaving the Ark: that the Savior drank wine as q Dew craze and that down through the suc- ceeding ages wine haa been manufsot. ured and had been drunk. He referred at great length to the failure of the army canteen bill. and In this connection said:

 Continuing slons these linss.3 Mr. Rose said:
 From 1850 to 1860. seventeen States were under prohibition. They tried the experiment and all of them aban- doned the attempt.
 Alabama is a dry State and crinin- ality has been increasing since prohi- bition became operative. Last month there were twenty-th three murders com mitted in the City of Birmingham.
 Milwaukee last year had but s5s arrests for drunkenness. "Columbus, Ga, Q dry city one-tenth the size of Milwaukee. had 1,os6 arrests for drunkenness"
 The speaker compared many wet cities with dry ones slons the same
 Speaking Of regulation of saloons, he said:
 Tn Milwaukee. we regulate, there Is the solution of all of It." Taking up the question from the economic standpoint. he said:
 Last year this industry paid into the Federal treasury e22s.000.0oo; 1t paid labor SS6. 1000. .0o0. and 1t paid to the farmer si0s.0eo.o00. Two million, Ave hundred thousand mouths were fed.-
 Each man was allotted thirty minutes in rebuttal. Tn his closing argument. MT Sheen attacked moral conditions as they prevailed in Milwaukee. 1 The debate was concluded at il:s0 | by Mir Rose, who repeated his previ- ous arguments and giving more fig- ures and comparisons of wet and dry | localities.

ALFRED sHRUBB
 WINS FROM ST. YVES

Montreal, Que. May 20--Alfred Shrubb, the English middle distance champion, proved his ability to go far style, by defeating Henri St. Yves. the Marathon champion from France, in their twenty mile race on the Montreal A. 4. A. grounds tonight.
 Shrubh won by about 640 yards in the fast time of 1:54:25. St. Yves fin- ished out the race In 1:56:24.
 St. Yves was practically a one to two favorite. Reports that Shrubbs leg had gone back on him. led most cf the ex- perts to believe he would fail after the fifteenth mile. Shrubb took the lead af- ter the first twenty yards and setting a fast pace. opened a big lead in the early stages of the race. He was limp. ing badly when the finish came. but ended the race with a strong sprint.
 St. Yves ran his usual race with short choppy strides. but had not the speed to go after the EnRlishman.
 Five thousand people saw the race.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-Sen-
ator Tillman, who caused considerable
sensation last week by severely ar
raigning President Roosevelt in reply to
the latter'S charges in connection with
land deals in Oregon and whose criti-
cisms were followed by a much more
severe arraignment of the president at
the hands of Senator Foraker, is re-
ported today to be busily engaged on a
lengthy rearraignment of the chief ex-
ecutive.
Mr.. Tillman's previous attack, it is
said by his friends, was exceptionally
mild for the "pitchfork' senator-a fact
attributed 20 his i'll health; but it is
confidently announced that in his next
speech, shortly to be delivered, Mr..
Tillman will reveal much of the old
time fire and satire for which he be-
came famous several years ago.
The White House is watching Mr.
Tillman with what is said to be a
mingling of curiosity and amusement,
but Mr.. Roosevelt refuses to consider
seriously the announcement that he has
another roast" coming from the oven
of the southerner's oratory.
