sHYLocK IMPOSSIBLE NOW
Lawyer Tells What WouId' Happen
to Pound Of Flesh Case.

II shylock were living today he
would not stand a chance OF hold
ing Antonio to his promise OF d
pound of flesh for failure to pay a
debt, Frank e. Murphy. Washington
lawyer, todd members of the Shakes
peare Society Of America In the Cairo
last night.
Mr.. Murphy said It would be a
queer Jurisprudence that would allow
a money lender to exact such an in
demnity from a debtor when the lat
ter appeared in court and was ready
to tender the amount OF the debt with
usurious interest. Add to that the
fact that his offer to pay was refused
three times and you have a situation
that courts of the present day would
laugh at, said Mr.. Murphy.
The bard of Avon was a master at
writing about any and all profess
sions, the speaker said, but when it
came to applying principles OF equity
TO a case like Antonio being hailed
into court for debt, he overlooked all
rules.
After considerable discussion which
was Joined in by DR.. George Buckler.
active president of the Shakespeare
Society of America, Prof. Robert A.
Smith, Arthur B. White, DR.. L. v.
Wilcox, and others, the decision
seemed to be that Mr.. Murphy was
right.

OPPOSE DEFERRlNG DRY DC.
Anti Saloon League Workers Ex-
peeted TO EIaht Proposal.

Prohibition and anti-saloon forces
In Congress are not taking kindly to
the proposal to extend the effective
date of the District dry law from
November l OF this year to May /,
1918.
Indications are this proposal will be
made in the extra session. 1t will be
urged that the saloon interests ought
to be given more time to dispose of
their property. While considerable
support can be had for such a propo-
sition in the House and Senate. there
Is reason to believe there will also be
strong opposition.
Anti-Saloon League leaders do not
favor the extension and are expected
to fight II.
The extra session will be largely
taken up with national defense. I'm
der such circumstances, the dry forces,
especially in the Senate. will be in
good position to block an extension.

CLARK EXPECTS G. o. P. AID
Speakers Confidence In Reelection
Is Explained.

Reason for the confidence expressed
by Sneaker Clark in his reelection as
Speaker when the extra session con-
venes became known today.
The Democrats think they will land
a number of Republican votes for Mr..
Clark. These Republicans include
Dyer of Missouri. Langley of Ken
lucky, and Nelson OF Wisconsin The
Democrats also expect to get the vote
of Martin Of Louisiana, Progressive
and Protectionist.
Inquiry among Republican leaders
developed that they feel the Demo-
Gratis who have been advising the
Speaker he will be reelected are too
optimistic.
Some Republicans do not want to
vote for Mann for Speaker, The
Democrats believe those Republicans
will vote for Clark rather than for
Mann and under stress of the war
emergency will feel absolved from
supporting their party candidate.
