Washington, d. C., April Io.-Et-
fectlve ammunition against the strong
citadel of the liquor business was fur
nished at the opening of the argu-
ments on the Hobson Prohibition res
olution before the house judiciary
committee.
The ammunition was supplied by
William H. Anderson, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League OF New
York, and came from the original
Kelley liquor cure at Dwight, Ill. 1t
was in the form of an admission by
a distillery company that its Gus
toners are prospective customers OF
the dipsomania sanitarium.
This distillery company, writing to
the Keely folks that it was about to
quit business, offered for sale 49,
600 names and addresses of consum-
ers of its liquor. "Our customers are
your prospective patients" the letter
opens.
The company which offered this at
tractive list for sale was the Kentucky
Distillers' Distributing company, of
Kansas City. The letter to the Kee-
ley institute was signed by w. Frank
lin, President. The full text OF the
letter is given above.
When this remarkable communica-
ton was read it was greeted with en-
thusiastic applause from the drys
present at the hearing and with silence
on the part of the vets.
Miss Anna Gordon, of Illinois, act
ing president of the Women's Chris
tan Temperance Union in America,
read an argument in support OF the
Hobson resolution, which was pre-
pared by Mrs. Lillian M. n. Stevens,
shortly before Mrs. Stevens death.
Representative R. P. Hobson, au-
thor of the house resolution, which is
identical with the resolution offered
in the senate by Senator Morris Shep-
pard, of Texas, opened the argument
in favor of submission of the consti-
tutional amendment. He did not ar
que for Prohibition ITSELF but for CIV
ing the people an opportunity to re-
cord their sentiments.
Congressman Henry D. Clayton,
chairman of the committee, expressed
the opinion that the proposed amend
ment goes farther than merely prohib-
iting the sale of liquor. He thought
it would operate to compel every
drinker to maintain a private distil-
lery.

Wornen's Work In Illinois

"O1hCl S WOIk III 1lunO1S.
Mrs. Helen Hood, president of the
w. {. T. u, of Illinois, described the
progress made in her state in voting
out saloons, and told how the wo-
mems vote had just ousted nearly 1000
saloons in Illinois.
Mr.. Clayton's opposition to the res.
olution was further expressed in CUES.
ton which he asked of Mrs. Margaret
Dye Ellis. A map showing that A.
100000 persons in the United States
now live in Prohibition territory was
exhibited by Mrs. Ellis.
Don't you think" asked Mr.. CLAW
ton, that having made such great
progress without this amendment. you
can complete the work without the aid
of the government"
I'VE have done WE'LL" answered
Mrs. Ellis, "but we need the aid of the
government to do better"
Thirty White Ribboners, speaking
for the resolution, declared the time
had come for the national government
to take up the warfare on the saloon
and to come to the aid of the state in
making Prohibition prohibit.
Others who advocated the amend
ment were Wayne B. Wheeler, super.
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League
of Ohio; Thomas M. Hare, superin.
tendent of the Anti,Sa1oon League of
Maryland; Professor Charles Scanlon,
secretary of the Presbyterian Temper
ance committee; DR.. E. J. Moore, SUI
perintendent OF the Anti-Saloon
League of Pennsylvania; James Can
non, Jr., superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of Virginia; H. T.
Laughbaum, superintendent of the

J. Davis, League superintendent for
Massachusetts; w. C. Shupp, League
superintendent for Missouri; r. L.
Davis, League superintende for
North Carolina; H. H. Spooner, Con-
necticut uperintendent; H. N. Prin-
gle, of the international Reform Bu-.
reau, and S. E. Nicholson, editor of
the publication of the Friends de-
nomination.
No Trouble In Enforcement.
Edwin C. Dinwiddie, of this city.
representing the Anti-Saloon League
of America, contended that the states
would have no trouble in the enforce,
ment of any measures adopted under
the federal constitution.

clared that the fight against the liquor
traffic had been finally brought ito
the last stand of the liquor interests,
the barricade of the national protec-
ton of the traffic" He suggested an
amendment that would remove all
doubt as to the rights of the individual
states under the proposed amendment
The hearing before the senate judici-
airy committee on the Sheppard resolu-
tion replica of that introduced in
the house by Captain Hobson, was
held today. Secretary Daniels order
against the use of liquor in the navy
was praised by Mr.. Dinwiddie.
That the order would be largely
nullifed unless national legislation
against the liquor traffic were adopted
was the opinion of c. S. Lonacre, edi-
tor of the Liberty Magazine, because
officers and men still get liquor on
shore.
The ease with which young boys can
get liquor through the mails under
present conditions was described by
H. T. Laughbaum, of Oklahoma.
William F. Cochran, of Baltimore
member of the leagues national head
quarters committee, declared that the
business men Of the country now be-
licve in Prohibition, but that state
liquor laws are largely nul:ied by lack
of federal legislation.
Decries Negroes Curse.
Railroad employees or roads run.
ming from wet into dry territory
were classed as distributing agents for
the liquor traffic by Pew. Charles S.
Morris, of Norfolk, Va The witness,
negro, added that whisky was the
curse Of his race and that no crimes
against white women were committed
by negroes before thu civil war.
Others who advoca ed the amend
ment before the senate committee
were Rev. Tomas M. Hare, superin-
tendent of the Maryland Anti-Saloon
League; Miss Helen Hood, president
of the Illinois w. c. T. u; Rev. w.
