 WADE ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA

Gibbons, who flavor temperance but oppose prohibition" was questioned by Dr. Ira Landrith, the prohibition vice presidential candidate Later tonight Oliver w. Stewart, national campaign manager for the prohibitionists tele- graphed the president asking if the vets here were misrepresenting his attitude.
 President Wilson has declared his willingness to see prohibition come by states" Dr. Landrith said in an address in Oakland tonight, "and he is on rec ord as actually favoring prohibition in leading southern state He will not now verify the assertion of the saloon ists of California, that, along with Clarence Darrow, Hugo Munsterberg William Howard Taft, and Henry Wat terson, who are named in the pamphlet that he is on the liquor dealers side In these wet and dry state fights.
 The president will not defy the sllff- rage lightning of the nineteen dry states wrath by confirming the accu- sation that he is opposed to prohibition Tn any state. Let him make such a pro-liquor declaration and his defeat IS assured. His friends now believe his election is certain"
 J. Frank Hanly, the presidential can didate, continued his attack on Charles k. Hughes for his silence on the liouor question and appealed to all voters for , support of the prohibition platform which he termed as comprehensive as any other issues other than the liouor question.

[Repubican A. p. Leased WireI

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Rioting was renewed tonight in connection with the car strike after efforts of Mayor Mitchell and others had failed to er- feet a settlement. Several hundred strikers who attacked four cars, en- gagged in a running fight with police reserves, during which several per sons, including a woman, were hurt. Many arrests were made.
 What the police characterized as a conspiracy to use dynamite in the strike was frustrated by the arrest of a man who asserted he was a striking mOtorman The prisoner had attempt ed to purchase explosives from a laborer in a new subway excavation. The latter reported the case to the authorities, who set a trap for the striker. When arrested at the labor CTS home tonight, after two duinmy packages made up in the form of dy- namite had been passed to him, the prisoner is alleged to have declared he sought the explosive to blow up a couple of Broadway cars.
 When Police Commissioner Woods was told today that 6year-old Louis Rodelli was dying, a victim of brick hurler, he redoubled his efforts at clearing roof tops contiguous to the traction lines, and went into confer ence with District Attorney Swann to provide for the speedy punishment of such offenders. sxs
 The commissioner issued a warning to the strikers that all missile throw CTS hereafter arrested will be given the limit.
 Hope of averting the threatened strike of 100000 union workers here in sympathy with the carmen. was diminished Mayor Mitchell announced that personal appeal to transit com pany heads to treat with the strikers was refused flatly. Preparations were continued by union leaders for the "walkout," which would paralyZe in dustry throughout the greater city.
 The only chance now of averting the tie-up Monday, it was said, lies in a conference to be held tomorrow between a citizens committee and the strike leaders. Samuel Gompers and twenty-five presidents Of international unions, who arrived today, held con ference. No definite action was taken. They will meet again Friday.
 Approximately 10000 women, wives of strikers and members of trade unions, it was announced, will act as pickets beginning tomorrow. They contemplate riding on trains in efforts to induce the motormen and guards to join the union.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept 20.-Nearly a million people have been made home less by one of the greatest floods on record in that section of China, where the American Red Cross already has spent $600,000 for flood protection, and where the $S0G0O 900 loan for reclama tion work which was post poncd by the war was to have been spent Reports to the state depart ment today from the American con- sul at Ranking said the Hwai river had inundated an area of about 1000 square miles in Anhui province. Ap- peals for aid have been sent out. All the autumn crops were destroyed
 The flood occurred in an alluvial section where the north -tO-sOuth pass age of the Grand canal had damned a large lake and allowed the Hwai river too little space to carry off the excess water TodaYs delayed ad vices described conditions several weeks ago. hut officials believe there probably has been little improvement
 The state department summed up it's dispatches on the subject in the following announcement:
 The department has received from the Americn consul at Nank;n dis patches giving detailed information regarding recent extensive floods along tEe HWai river in Anhu prov ince.
 The inundation is equal to if not greater than the one of 1909. An area Of some 1000 square miles was submerged under from three to fifteen feet of water, and from July II to July 21 the water reached such a height as to submerge all except very high ground in an area estimated at 1000 square miles.
 The flGOd extended throughout eight districts in northern Anhui. There are ten cities of considerable size in these eight districts, with n total population estimated at from 500 O0O to 100000 people.
 The total DOpTlatrnn ot tho flooded region is approximately 2,500,OOO peo- ple While it is thought that com parativelY few lives were lost, crops and personal property have been de @troved and there are thousands of destitute people. nearly nn of whom are now subjects of charity.
 The supply of fOodstuffs on hand will be inadequate to feed the people and practically all the autumn crops in the eight districts have been en- tirely destroyed. Appeals for relief have come in from the various af- fected districts"

WASHINGTON, Sepc. 20.-Intense study of the retaliatory legislation passed in the last hours of congress has convinced all concerned diplomats and some state department officials that part of the legislation is unen- forceable, part is of doubtful legality, and the balance is so broad that only the most careful administration will prevent entirely unforeseen complica- tions.
 While Secretary Lansing declined today to indicate what conclusions he has reached regarding the legal feat ures of the retaliatOry measures, and pointed out that the powers they con- ferred on the president were for use only as a last resort, it was apparent that some uncertainty had developed over the manner in which provisions for refusing clearance to ships dis eliminating against American goods and for laying retaliatory trade en- bargoes. could be put into effect
