Theodore Sproessir. whose term or once
as president Of the Washington bar

a statement last night strongly urging
the attachment of a referendum clause
10 the bill.
FAnart from the employees affected. he
points out, the District will lose about
$500. 900 annually in license revenues. and
taxes must go up as consequent result
His statement follows; ,.
"As one of thousands of men In the
District who will be directly affected py
the passage of the Sheppard bill pro
viding prohibition for the Dlstrlct'
should like TO call the attention OF men,
hers Of Congress to a side of the ques-
ton I feel should be considered before
this bill u thrust on the people without
any opportunity for them to directly pass
upon 1t.
'.There are about TOO bartenders in the
District, whose average wage Is Szo
week, aggregating about $4,000. There
are the same number of walters and por-
tcrs, whose average wage Is $40 Week.
or IN the aggregate $1,000
men, and others engaged directly with
the uauor business number more than
$500, with a weekly wage averaging w.
and an aggregate of more than $4,000.
Weekly Loss of s7b,eoo.
''It will thus be seen that the men who
will lose employment earn in the aggre-
gate about $4,000 a week, and rs per cent
of that money is spent in the District
Apart from the suffering and inconven-
ience which the throwing Of these men
out of employment will cause, and aside
from its effect on the business and social
life OF the District. there Is the further
fact that the District will lose direct
revenues from 267 saloons and eighty
nine wholesale house amounting to mors
than S5oo, 900 annually.
Without regard to the real estate
which will be thrown on the market
and depreciate in value, 1t seems but
right that tho citizens of Washington
should have a right to pass upon a mat
ter that affects them so vitality. Oui
union has therefore Endorsed the Under

CORN HUSKING ON
SOUTH DAKOTA FARMERS MAX
ING BEST OF GOOD WEATHER
SHORTAGE OF HUSKERS.

Sioux Falls. Oct. 24.-NewsH receiv-
ed here from all over the southern
part of the state indicates the farm
ers are becoming sctive in their corn
fields. Many have not started TO
husk, however, because some of their
corn lis soft and they are fearful
about piling il up in any considerable
quantities until colder weather
comes. But those whose fields of
corn were fully matured are making
the best of the good weather and all
available help is in the fields from
early morning till lue in the evening.
The great drawback to the harvest
ing of the crop as well as to all other
kinds of work is the shortage of la
borers. Fabulous prices are being
paid pickers, as high as 10 cents per
bushel in some instances. it is said.
From those sections of the state,
where much husking has been done,
come reports that the yield is much
better than was anticipated.

Mineola, N. Y, Oct. 24.-Carrying
eight passengers, Lieut.. Silva Res,
natl arrived at the government avia-

at 4:21 o'clock yesterday, completing
a flight of about 1926 miles from
Hampton, Va, in four hours and j

According to officials of the Aero

all records in the United States for
machines carrying two or more pas
sengers.
Resnati did not use a triplane in
making the trip as intended. This
machine, it was explained upon ar
rival here. has not yet been assem-
bled at Hampton, but will be used on
a trip to be made soon over the same
route as that travelled yesterday. The
large biplane which Resnati piloted
has a spread of 85 feet while that of
the triplane is more than 100 feet in
breadth. Each is equipped with
three motors and propellors.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 24.-The United

Hutchinson county men now on trial

visions of the espionage law.

signed by these men, AID a number
of witnesses were examined to show
that the letters had been received.

no prediction as to when the trial will
close, but it is generally believed that
il will be late today before the case
may be submitted to the jury.

tain wealthy counties in the state are

that in a few counties the response

not as ready or as liberal as the crit
