Chicago, Feb. 22.-In a public state
ment made by j. p. Griffin, president
of the Chicago Board of Trade, it is
asserted that in addition to 100000
bushels of grain in Chicago awaiting
shipment there are from fifty to

gestion here. . -..
Il have no hesitancy in declaring
that both the commission and the rail-
roads are completely overwhelmed and
have lost grasp of the situation stat
ed Mr.. Griffin. "As a matter of fact
the Intervention of the Interstate
Commerce commission has been
harmful rather than otherwise and
the method of relief insisted upon or
offered by them has been fanciful
and without any substantial results.
The statement asserts that unless
a remedy is found the Decentralization
will extend to all commodities. 1t
concludes:

Mr.. Griffin said that grain is today

world. He said that prices here at

level which has ruled during the war,

would raise an iron-clad bar
rier against importation OF liquor into
prohibited states. 1t is expected to
have the approval Of President Wilson
within a week, adding Immediately to

third of continental United States.
The provision is regarded as the
most reaching that could be en-

as sweeping as would be possible un-
der any method short of a national
prohibition amendment. 1t would cut

states which have forbidden manufac-.
ture or sale but have permitted inn

Advocates of prohibition divided
among themselves over the expediency
Of the step, some friends of the cause
declaring so drastic a law would have
a reactionary effect. In the same
way those who have opposed prohi-
bition were not unanimous in opposi-

roll call brought cheers and cries of
"bone dry" from all parts of the
house. however, and the result was
greeted with a noisy demonstration.
The vote as officially announced was
321 to ~ but a re-checking of the roll
changed it to 319 to u. Party lines
were completely broken down and
numerous representatives from prohi-

Using is included in the measure,
which came before the house as rid
er to the annual postoffice appropria-
ton bill, inserted in the senate last
week, on the motion of Senator Reed
by a vote of S. to IL. Although the
appropriation bin will go to confer
ence because the house disagreed to
other senate amendments, there is
little possibility that the prohibition
amendment, concurred in without
change, will be altered. Members Of
congress are taking it for granted
that President Wilson will approve 1t.

CASE
Will Be ENDED
tBy Associated Press,

San Francisco. Feb. 22.-The United
States department of justice notified
Timothy Healy, an attorney here. that
March it would file with the United
States supreme court confession Of
error in its stand that % Hindus orr
dered deported four years ago when
they arrived here from Manila had no
right to enter the United States. 1t is
intimated there are 10000 Hindus in
the Philippines.
Healy said the confession of error
would end the case.
Both the United States district court
and the United States circuit court of
appeals upheld the commissioner Of
immigration here in denying the Hin
dus entry. Healy appealed to the
United States supreme court on the
ground that Manila was an American
port and admittance granted there was
in itself permission to enter continent
al territory.
The Asiatic exclusion league, it was
said, and other interests co-operated
in the immigration bureaus stand
that the aliens were likely to become
public charges.

Many contributors to The Herald

have wondered why they did not re-
ceive some Acknowledgement of the
receipt Of their gifts by the soldiers
in France. They will be glad to know
that while there has been delay, owing
to congestion in railroad service across
the water, as we'll as on this side, the
goods are being forwarded and are
reaching their destination as fast as
circumstances will permit.

mas. the American Tobacco
with which a large order for tobacco
kits had been placed, received by
cable the following from France:
1880 cases kits on hand American
Red Cross. Will all be delivered by
Christmas"
The American Red Cross has as
sumed responsibility for the transpor-
tation and delivery of these kits,
which is a guarantee that the work
will be properly handled. All con-
signments are made to Major Murphy,
who is head of the American Red
Cross in France, who attends to the
forwarding and distribution. The first
shipments were made to him in Aug
ust, and others have followed from
time to time. Under the conditions
existing it is not safe to depend on
shipments being delivered in less than
two months. This accounts for the
fact that not many personal ac-
acknowledgements have yet been re-
ceiyed.
