WASHINGTON TO GO
DRY ON WEDNESDAY

Washington, Oct. 29.-Washington
will go dry" on Wednesday night
after "big day." on which it is ex-
pected that the full energy of the po-
lice will be taxed In caring for the
many thousands Of good fellows" who
will take just one more before the lid
goes down.
But there is still a mooted question
as to whether intoxicating liquors may
be shipped into the District of Colum-
bia for private consumption.
October 81, the day the lid goes
down here, is Halloween, which will
give an added incentive for the merry
makers. The police department is pre-
pairing to have every member of the
force on duty Wednesday night.
Conflicting opinions as to the appli-
cability of the so-called Reed bone
dry" amendment" which prohibits the
shipment Of intoxicants or alcoholic
liquors from wet "state or territory"
making the outstanding feature Of the
situation here in the last hours OF the
saloons.
United States Attorney Laskey
frankly states there is grave ques-
ton as to whether the Reed amend
ment applies to the District Of Colum-
bia, which is not specifically men
toned in the law. He indicated that
there probably would be an early test
OF this point. Meanwhile Washington
citizens are receiving "order blanks
from brewers and liquor dealers in
Baltimore and other cities, who appar-
emily assume that the shipment of al
coholic beverages to Washington will
be legal. Many residents here, some
of them prominent lawyers, take this
view.
On the other hand, the Anti-Saloon
league and other prohibition workers
are just as active in preparing to meet
this question when the time arrives.
They contend that the Reed amend.
ment is applicable to the District Of
Columbia and intimate very clearly
they will promptly resist any other
construction of the law.
A bill making the District of Colum-
bia "bone dry" has already been pre-
pared and will be introduced in con-
gress Immediately after the next ses-
sion begins.
Wednesday night will mark the ter
mination Of 109-year legal residence
Of Mr.. Barleycorn in the District Of
Columbia. In 1893 the saloonkeeper
had to pay only 500 for license to
sell his goods any day in the week, at
any hour of the day or night, but in
1893 temperance wave struck Wash
ington and up went the license to
1000 and the elimination of Sunday
as selling day and the curtailment
of the selling hours.
This condition existed until 1918,
when the reform wave again boosted
the license to $500 and limited the
number Of saloons to 800. Then along
came Senator Sheppard of Texas last
March, and J. Barleycorn was en-
quilted. That Is why Washington goes
"dry."

a Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets the substi-

of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat

SAY lN1ERNED GERMANS
HAVE OIS0BEYEO OFFICERS

Asheville, N. c., Oct. 29.-When a
North Dakota troop train passed the
United States immigrant station at
Hot Springs, near here, recently, the
soldiers on their way to the front
yelled at a group of interned Ger
mans:
Were going to get your kaiser and
throw him in with you"
To this The Germans shouted back
| this surprising reply:
"That's all right. We don't like him
any more than you do"
| Although this is only an incident, it
is significant of the great change that
has recently come over 700 Of the
crews of the German merchant ships
that have been seized by the United
States government, who, with 500 Off
GERS of those ships, are interned at
/ the station.
| The men have revolted against the
authority of the captain, mates, engi-
neers and petty officers who formerly
commanded them. They refuse to obey
them and deride the officers furious
Dut fuL1lo LnredlS dSdIuSl lueIu.
| The bitter feeling existing between
the two classes has become SO marked
that the United States officials have
been compelled to recognize 1t, and
now officers and ordinary seamen have
separate quarters and grounds. Re-
Gently so ship officers who arrived at
the camp from the east were sent on
to Atlanta because there was no room
for them in the officers building. yet
there was then, 1t is said, a vacant
barracks in the mems quarters.
This changed attitude toward the Of
ficers has developed in the last month.
When the government leased the ho-
tel and brought there early in June
200 officers and men from the ships
seized in New York everything was
harmonious. All were lodged In the
hotel. and the ordinary seamen con-
tinued to recognize authority as they
had on shipboard.
Everything is still the same except
the attitude of the men toward the Of
Acers. and what definite cause changed
this no one can prove. Certainly 1t
was not suggested by the few visitors
allowed in camp. because these were
not permitted to talk to the Germans.

TOTTENvILLE, Oct. 29.-John F..
Hylan, Democratic candidate for may
or, came to Staten Island Saturday
night and received roudng recep-
ton at two monster meetings held at
Stapleton and Port Richmond under
the Richmond County Democratic
Club. It was the opening of the cam
paign in Richmond borough and old
diners say that no Democratic candi-
date ever received such receptions as
were accorded the Brooklyn jurist.
Vieam eister's Hall, Stapleton, was jam
med to the doors and the same thing
occurred when Judge Hylan reached
Masonic Hall, Port Richmond. The
Democratic candidate paid particular
attention in his speech to the needs Of
the borough, speaking of the garbage
plant and the transit situation. At
both OF the meetings Judge Hylan
proved he Is capable of talking extem-
poraneously when he wishes to. After
he had finished his speeches in the
two halls, he laid down his notes and
for several minutes discussed with the
Staten Islanders their local candi-
dates. He said he would be proud to
have in his cabinet such man as CAL
win D. Van Name. the candidate for re-
election for borough president. He
also praised the selection of other loc-
al candidates. In each case the Judge
was roundly cheered. Judge Hylan in
his speeches promised that If elected
the candidates for reelection for bor-
ough president. He also praised the
selection of other local candidates.
greeted Judge Hylan when he asserted:
IT know that the question upper
most in your minds is what will I do
with that garbage plant promise
you now that the first act OF the cor
poration counsel whom / shall ap-
point will be to attack the validity OF
that iniquitous garbage contract"
Another promise which won the ap-
proval Of the Staten Island residents
was:
.I shall make 1t my business to see
that there is a reduction in ferry
rates. 1 will appoint a dock commits
sioner who will pay more attention to
the business of his department and
less to promoting schemes for surren-
dering the water front to any railroad.
''It would not be surprising to see
the Mitchell -Prendergast administra-
don. If returned to power, propose to
Barren Island" Judge Hylan said and
the audiences applauded and booed.
They have given you the smell and
they may give you the name.
There is ample law in this state
to protect the health of IT'S citizens.
The next health commissioner Of this
city will deal with your garbage sit
uation with an iron hand.
II have met every issue Of this cam
paign squarely," the Democratic nom.
tnee said, answering the repeated
charges of the fusion leaders that he
had eyaded every issue.
you who live here know the abom-
Unable transit conditions better than
any one else,' Mr.. Hylan said. The
Public Service Commission reduced
the number of trains the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Railroad was required
to run and then the trolley system
pro omptly broke down. That is the
same trolley system which owes the
city 100000 and with which Mr..
Mitchell is willing to compromise for
5000, ,0O0."
