COALTER LIQUOR BILL
MEETS OPPOSITION

CHARLESTON. w. Va. Jan. 9-The
proposed bill of Senator G.. c. Coalter,
of the Seventh district, which proposes
10 make county clerks eH.officto depu-
ly commissioners of prohibition. with
power to issue permits TO iegallZed
voters allowing them 10 carry into the
state or have shipped 10 their au-
dresses certain quantities OF lnt0Xl-
cants, has led 10 Il public statement
made today by George W. Crabbe.
state superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League.
Much has been said in the last few
days regarding the bill proposed TO
lecalize shipments of liquor into the
state" said Mr. Crabhe. The Anti
Saloon League has been hearing from
it's constituency throughout the state
and on every hand strong opposition
is voiced TO this bill.
1T would seem that liS aim Is al the
bootlegger and that satisfaction would
BE- obtained by the people of the state
if the bootlrggcrs were only eIlnllnat-
ed. We are opposed 10 the bootlegger
and the saloon for the same reason;
namely, that each sells liquor TO
drink =.
Mr.. Crabbc makes il plain that II
liCuor is allowed TO enter the state at
ali il should be where one personally
carries it into the state, and that the
amount should be made so exceedingly
small that no one can afford TO leave
the state for all the liquor he would

LEAK" HEARING
MAY Be DROPPED
ILAWSON AGAIN GIVES
INDEFINITE EVIDENCE,
Think Lawson Has Nothing to
Back Up Charges-Many
Denials Entered.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
Although Thomas W. Lawson prom.
ised to-day TO disclose names and
amounts" involving men high in OFF,
cial life, if Congress ordered an in
quIry into the alleged leak in advance
of President Wilson'S peace note,
there were indications tonight that
the House rules committee was about
to drop its hearings on the Wood res.
olution for such an investigation and
return the resolution TO the House
with an adverse report.
Democratic members Of the commit
tee freely expressed their WEAKNESS
over the proceedings Of the past few
days, and their conviction not only
that nothing to warrant further lnQui-
ry had been brought out so far, but
that Mr. Lawson knew nothing TO sup
port his sweeping charges.
Mr.. Lawson continued to-day to defy
the committee, refusing over and over
again to give the names of the men
the leak" after suggesting that he
could name an official higher up than
any yet mentioned. Four motions 10
cite him before the bar of the House
for contempt. pending when he left
the witness stand early in the day,
were considered by the committee IN
executive session. No decision vas
reached, but some Of the members Ill
dicated later that Mr.. Lawson prob.
ably would not be recalled, and that If
ii was determined 10 report the Wood
resolution unfavorably. the contempt
charges would be forgotten. In the
meantime The inancier remains IN
Washington, subject to the commit.
tees orders.
The hearing will continue through
out tomorrow, at least. to give several
of the men mentioned in the various
reports and rumors related before The
committee an opportunity TO MAXI
statements.
During the days examination nit.
Lawson frankly admitted that he was
not particularly concerned with the
so-called leak" itself, but that his
purpose In agitating the subject pri-
marily was TO bring about thorough
investigation of the New York Stock
Exchange that would lead TO incorpor-
alton and Federal regulation.
Baruch Enters Denial.
Bernard Baruch, Of New York. who
contributed $4,000 to the last Demo
cratic campaign fund. and whose name
has. been mentioned in the stories of
money made through leak" took
the stand this afternoon and denied
that he had any advance information
whatsoever on the Presidents peace
note, the German peace proposals or
Lloyd Georges speech. Admitting
that he sold short many thousands of
shares of United States Steel during
the period from December II to De-
cember 81. he said his action was due
solely 10 his belief that this was the
proper attitude 10 take on the mar
krt in view of the general opinion that
the way had been opened for negotia-
tionS Of peace.
His first knowledge of the Presi-
dents note came 10 him. Mr.. Baruch
