 Board Heads
SOME SUPPORTERS 1 OF PROHIBITION ARE
 GROWING UNEASY
They Begin to See the Light and Will Not Push the Jones
 Rider

Washington, June 21.-Fearing thlt absolute prohibition might so affect the labor of the country as to inter- fere with the prosecution of the war, the Senate agriculture committee to- day decided to reopen hearings on the Jones prohibition amendment to the Sf L0G0000 emergency agricultnrnI ap- propriation bill in order to investigate more fully that phase of the question. The hearings were to have been re- s"a,ed tomorrow but owing to the i'm ability of representatives of the chip pinE board and others to be present, they were postponed until Tuesday.
 in reaching agreement to continue the hearings, the committee called upon Sec retary Daniels, Postmaster General Burleson, Chairman Hurley and Bain- bridge Colby of the shipping board Di- rector General Sehwab of the emergency fleet corporation and the heads of d number of industrial plants employing large numbers of men to appear as wit nesses. Supporters of the amendment also plan to call number or witnesses and Senator Gore of Oklahoma, chairman of the committee who returned to Wash ing last night to take charge of the bill said the hearings would continue two oI three days.

Negotiations Concluded for Purchase of Clark Prop
 erty as Site for School
GRAND JURY REPORT SPEEDS UP ACTION ON
 STATE INSTITUTION
State to Advance Purchase Price and Governor to Re-
 lease Part of Appropria- tion for Repairs

Montgomery, June 2t.-(Speciay)-Ne gotiations have been concluded for the
 purchase of the Louis V. Clark prop erty near Birmingham as a site for the
 State Training School for Girls and the property will be taken over as soon as the attorney general has passed upon
 the validity of the title. This official an- nouncement was made by Governor Hen- derson today following the receipt of information that the Jefferson county grand jury Tuesday in it's report said such herding of girls as is necessary at the present quarters should not be found except in a German prison camp.
 INSTITUTION MOVED
 Governor Henderson expressed the opin- ion that the state would take over the property during the next few days and that the institution would be moved as soon as contractors have made repairs which are necessary. The state will ad- vance the board of control sufficient funds to pay General Clark $25,000 for the property, and will release enough of the $50.000 appropriation to make the needed repairs. When the board of con trol has obtained private subscriptions sufficient to return to the state the money duNdHCGu OH ltAt OA IS tiAdt pbh bhGlieAs9C PAAS1 Governor Henderson will consider the
 release Of enough or the appropriation to make further enlargements.
 STATE APPROPRIATION The appropriation was made several years ago contingent on approval by the
 governor. Governor Henderson has in vestigated several sites. but no agree ment could be made between the board 1 of control and owners of the property. Governor Henderson insisted that the property should be donated to the state. A portion of the purchase price was raised and Governor Henderson will ad- vance from the state treasury about $5000 and about $10000, the latter amount being used for improvements considered necessary by architects.
 I "I have stipulated that the appropria- | tion must be sufficient to make the re- pairs,' said Governor Henderson, as do not want persons to be coming to | the next legislature and asking for funds to complete the construction of buildings
 begun during my administration" Mont l gomery recently offered to donate a piece of property near the city, but the board | insisted that the school remain in Bir- , mingham.

CHANGE IN SENTIMENT

Decision to hold further hearings re- suited from testimony given this week before the committee by Mr. Colby. who declared the taking of beer from ship yard employees would lessen their effici- ency and reduce the tonnage output about 9 per cent.
 When the committee met today Senator Kenyon and other supporters of prohbi- ton declared opposition to reporting ia vorably the Jones amendment if it would interfere with the successful prosecution of the war and said that before they cast their votes they desired to ascertain further if the opinion expressed by MT. Colby indicated the shipping boards at titude After nearly three hours dis cussion the committee finally agreed to resume hearings

THOMPSON OPPOSES RIDER

t During the discussion Senator Thompson urged the committee not to inject the prohibition question as a rider to an ap- propriations bill, but to introduce it as separate legislation. Senator Norris urged the adoption of his substitute for the Jones amendment, which would pro- hibit the manufacture and sale of dis titled and malt liquore, but would ex- empt wine from it's provisions No ac- tion was taken on either proposal
 Although President Wilson so far has refrained from taking any part directly in the matter, it was learned tonight the White House is showing an active inter- est in the committees deliberations and some senators believe that the opposition of the members of the shipping board to the amendment reflects the White House view
 senator Thompson conferred with the
