CONGRESS- SPLIT ON LIQUOR ISSUE Hobson-S Sheppard Resolu- tion Will Likely Be
 Voted Down. ARKANSAS STRONG PRO Seven Members of House Will Support ResOIution-PrO Mem-
 bers JubiIant Over
 Prospects.
ARKANSAS STRONG PRO

Washington, May 17-Although the democratic caucus did not take any action upon the nation wide prohib!- ton amendment to the constitution, 1t is not understood in the national capital that this positively means that congress will not be asked to vote upon the Hobson-Sheppard amendment resolution before adjourn meat. Those in a position to know are rather inclined to believe that the prohibition question will come before the house at least
 Majority Leader Underwood and a number of other influential mem bers of the house are positive that they can dispose of the proposal to submit the prohibition constitutional amendment to the states for consider ation by defeating the resolutions. Polls of the house indicate that this surmisp is based upon good grounds but it is mistake to conclude that the defeat of the nationwide amend ment in either branch of congress will mark the end of this effort. It will only mark the beginning of the fight This is indicated by the talk of the prohibitionists in the house who professed to be much surprised by the strength they have developed and who make t.e prediction that within a year or two it will be eas. to achieve the victory in the na- tional congress. They are far from castdown by the developments of the past week.
 What House Bill Shows.
 A poll of the house which is said to be fairly accurate has been pub lished showing the lineup of the state delegations, without regard to party lines, on the Hobson-Sheppard resolution. It gives the following fig ureS:

TOO MUCH SCIENCE,
 TOO LITTLE GOD This Is Terse Criticism of Schools by Vice Presi-
 dent Marshall.

Washington, May 1S.-Vice Presi- dent Marshall's declaration that one of America's ills today, lis that there is too much science in the so-called educational system and too little God Almighty" occasioned comment in Washington today. 1ia statement was made at church gathering here last night.
 "There is this thing wrong in many of the churches" said the vice pres ident, that because church and state are separate and the state makes the schools, the church feels itself absolved from any duty in the direction of education of youth.
 "The state is permitted to mold children from the age of six up through the time when they are go- ing through colleges, where many of the professors are agnostics and atheists. But now the church IS awakening to the fact that children should be reared in the way of Chris tian faith from the nursery upward. 1 believe that there is in this coua- try today great spiritual awaken ing, and the church is beginning to see that it has turned over entirely too many of it's functions to the state."
 The vice president also let it be known that some day he would for get all the other political parties and join the Socialists.
 But" he added, q shall never do this until it becomes a friend of the church; never while it flaunts on the streets a red banner in the face of faith in God and the marriage service. The Socialism in which l be- lieve and to which l hope some day to adhere is not that which concerns itself with consideration of power and property, but that of spirit"

 Defense Changes Plan.
 At conference between Becker and his lawyers held immediately aft CT the close of the trial today it was decided to abandon the plan to let the case go on to the jury without any defense except a statement from Becker explaining in his own way his associations with Rose and the others.
 Mir. Manton refused to be quoted on his plan of defense, but said wit nesses would be placed on the stand to prove Becker did not attend the conference in Harlem, which has been described as the "heart of the conspiracy"

Are Watching Texas.

Texas is being closely watched in connection with this move to secure nationwide prohibition through the amending of the federal constitution not only because the name of her junior senator is attached to the res olution but because Texan is chair man of the house rules committee that will have to open the door if action is taken by the house on this subject at the present session, and further, for the reason of the sub mission campaign now being waged within the state.
 Senator Sheppard is said to be not the least disconcerted by reason of s1he fact that he has been deserted bv the Texas members of the house who are we'll known prohibitionists. Their attitude has served to center about him the prohibitionists who are making this fight for the consti- tutioaal amendment and this has served to accentuate his stand upon this question.
 No Suffrage Vote.
 The advocates of woman suffrage are experiencing more genuine dls- appointment oyer the action of the recent caucus that are the prohibi- tionists. The latter feel they still have a good chance to get their prop osition to vote but the former realize that their task is a hopeless one, so far as the present session is concerned.
 Two days before the caucus was held, women flocked to the capitol and there personally interviewed aev- cry democratic member of the house The women worked in committees, each committee being assigned cer- tain number of congressman. They begged, cajoaled, and pleaded with

and l am unwilling to grant your request,
yet feel that the salaries and expense
accounts for the present quarter due June
! of the inCumbents of the judicial offices
who are In the main constitutional officers
ought to be paid and also feel that not
withstanding that our present judicial
system is costing large sum of money
and ought to be simplifed and made less
expensive, yet the cost OF maintaining the
jais and paving the bills of cost of the
minor courts ought to he met that there
may be no lack Of enforcement Of the
criminal law because of insufficient funds.
I therefore authorize YOU to draw upon
the contingent appropriation to a sufficient
amount TO pay the salaries and expense
accounts or the Judicial offcers and their
necessary clerks, and I further authorize
you 10 pay the bills of cost of the Justices
of the peace, and municipal courts and the
jail accounts
Insofar as the payments for the June
terms of county court are concerned I do
not understand 1t to be a matter properly
before me for action at this time but
rather a question to be first decided by
