THE LIQUOR INTERESTS
Defends Senator Sheppard's Course
in Prohibition Rider to
D. C. Bill.

Denouncing the liquor interests as
the country" E. c. Dinwiddie, superin-
tendent of the legislative department
Of the Anti-Saloon League. speaking
yesterday afternoon before the Wash
ington Secular League. defended Sena-
tor Sheppard for his course in attempt
ing to force consideration of the Shep-
pard prohibition rider to the District
appropriation bill.
When our opponents adopted revo-
lutionary tactics to defeat u.s. he
asked, what could we do but resort to
heroic measures
Acted Within the Rules.
Senator Sheppard acted entirely
within the rules of the Senate Mr..
Dinwiddie continued. Il am just as
much opposed to such legislation ordi-
narily as is any standpat senator.
I'VE are making no claims: but I am
watching carefully to see how those
senators who voted for prohibition un-
der the two-thirds rule will explain
their votes against it when it comes to
a majority vote.
Aim to Remove Temptation.
II do not say that prohibition will
prohibit entirely. That is asking too
much. You can't legislate morals into
a man. and you can't legislate an appe-
tite for liquor out of him.
What you can do is remove the sa-
loon from the streets and put direct
temptation away from men who do not
want to drink, and who would stop
drinking if the constant sight of a sa
loon did not attract them. Then, too, it
will keep young men away from sa-
looms. and that will be great thing"

Cheating Buyers.

Look out for the unscrupulous huck-

weights. measures and markets.
That several hucksters. some of whom
are believed to be unlicensed, are CIV
ing short weight measurements to
buyers. especially in the sale of ap-
pies and potatoes. was the statement
today of Mr.. Sherman. The dealers
complained of are said to be operating
particularly in the northern suburbs
of the city.

are using a measure which contains
only five-eighths of a bushel. Numerous
housewives, 1T is stated, have discover
ed the fraud only after the hucksters
had departed.

and license number. The number
should appear on the right side of his
wagon, near the front. II you can't
find the number refuse to buy and i'm
mediately notify the police"

keepers, Mr. Sherman pointed out. He
stated that two hucksters are now un-

URGES COAST GUARD
BY MERGING BUREAUS
Capt. Bertholf Favors Consolidating
Revenue Cutter and Life
Saving Services.

Many recommendations have already
been made to Congress regarding the
advisability of consolidating the rev.
enue cutter service and the life-saV1ng
service and merging them into new
organization, to be known as the coast
guard" says Capt. Ellsworth P. Bert
holt. commanding the revenue cutter
service, in his annual report to Con-
gress. There is consensus of opin-
ion among all parties interested that
this will add greatly to the efficiency
of these humanitarian branches of the
government"
Capt Bertholf declares his earnest
hope that during the fiscal year con-
summation of this matter along the
lines indicated in the bill pending in
Congress will be brought about There
is no doubt, he urges, that greatly in
creased efficiency will result.
The coast guard bill has been made
an administration measure by the ac-
ton of the President
Additional Cutters Urged.
A revenue cutter for duty to guard
shipping converging at the Panama
canal is one of the recommendations of
Capt. Bertholf.
A service depot in Alaska is needed,
in the opinion of Capt. Bertholf.
Three light-draft revenue cutters are
asked for the saving of life and prop
erty on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
and their tributaries, especially in time
of flood.
Capt. Bertholf hopes also that Con-
gress will see fit to authorize a rev.
enue cutter for the California coast, at
n cost of 900. and one for the mar
Dor of New York. at cost of $4,000.
