Bone" Dry Measure.

Washington. Feb. 2S.-Prohibition won a
double victory in Congress when the
House passed by a vote of 273 to 1877 the
Senate bill to make the national capital
dry and Senate and House conferees on
the postal appropriation bill unexpectedly
announced an agreement under which the
Reed bone dry" amendment is virtually
assured of enactment
Hope of agreeing on the postal supply

however. they got together on a report
which includes the Reed amendment pro-
hibitng shipment of liquor into prohibi-

was no doubt of its acceptance in the
Senate and House. They are taking it for

NOT MONEY ENOUGH
TO RUN RETREAT
Reason Why Inferior Attend
ants Have Been Employed,
Says ex.Lt..GOv. Howe.

Montpelier, Feb. 2S.-Stating that lack
of funds at the Brattleboro retreat re-
suited in the forced employment of an
inferior class of attendants who nat
urally abused the patients. and in the
supplying of poor food and that the
professional and business administfa-
ton of the institution was badly
mixed. Frank F.. Howe of Bennington,
former lieutenant-governor in his tes-
timony to-day before the legislat tive
committee investigating the retreat,
proposed that the State either take
over and run the institution or pro-
vide sufficient funds to remedy it's
present defects.
Mr. Howe's testimony provided the
truest insight into affairs at the retreat
that has been given during the hearing.
He was for four years a member of the
board of visitors at the institution both
his parents were once employees of the
retreat, and his boyhood home was in
Brattleboro, so that he is well acquainted
with the history of the institution. Other
witnesses at to-day's hearing were Robert
w. Simonds of St. Johnsbury. former
chairman of the State industrial acct
dent board, and Walter Hamilton OF
who was for several months a
nrivate patient at the retreat in 1915 The
witnesses who will testify tomorrow are
Miss Anne Parker of Rutland. Charles
Raw of Brandon. John Hogan of Castle
ton. T. p. Davis of st. Adams, Frank
D. Bowker of st. Johnsbury and Mrs
Annie williams Of Woodsvlle. n. II.
The institution lacks sufficient employees
tn properly care for the patients. said Mr..
Howe. and it is Il matter of common re-
port that the buildings are infested with
vermin. and that sanitary conditions there
are bad. There is not the right distinc-
tion between the professional and busi-
ness administration of the institution and
while the medical star do not counten-
ance abuse of patients they are unable to
exercise enough supervision TO prevcp,
wrongs being done by the attendants
The witness also said that while he be-
lioyed the stories If cruelties told by many
former patents were simply delusions
which they retained, he thought undoubt-
edly there vert scme cases of abuse Of
patients.

MYSTERIES CLEARED UP.
III gives new credence to persistent re-
ports or submarine bases on Mexican ter
ritory IN the Gulf of Mexico; it takes
cosnizance OF fact long recognized by
american army chiefs. that If Japan ever
undertook to invade the United States it
probably would be through Mexico over
the border into the Mississippi valley to
spit the country in two. 1t recalls that
Count Won Bernstorff when handed his
passports was very reluctant to return to
Germany, but expressed a preference for
asylum in Cuba. 1t gives a new ex-
planation to the repeated arrests on the
border of men charged by American mill
tary authorities with being German intel
ligence agents
CARRANzA EXPOSED.
Last of all it seems to show a connec-
ton with General Carranza's recent pro-
posal to neutrals that exports of food
and munitions to the entente allies be
cut off. and an intimation that he might
stop the supply of oil. so vital to the
British navy. which Is exported from the
Tampico fields.
What Congress will do, and how men,
bers of Congress who openly have SYM
thized with Germany in their opposition
to clothing the President with full author
ity to protect American rights will regard
the revelation of Germanys Vaccinations
to attack the United States. is the sublec;
tonight of the keenest Interest.
PERHAPS AN ACT OF WAR.
Such a proposal as Germany instructed
her minister to make to Mexico borders
on an act of wer If. actually it is no,
one.
No doubt exists here now that the per.
sistent reports during the last two years
of the operations of German agents moi
alone in Mexico but all through Centra
America and the West Indies are based
on fact. There is now no doubt whatever
that the proposed alliance with Mexico
was known to high Mexican officials who
are distinguished for their anti-American
ism. Among them are Rafael Zubaran
