Governor to Urge Ratifca-
ton of Federal Amend
ment
Threatens Veto
Of Referendum
Special Message Will Be
Sent to Legislature,
Is Report
[Staf Correspondence

ALBANY, March 13.-Governor Whit
man has been asked by the drys to
take an active hand in the fight for
prohibition, it was learned to-day The
Governor, it is said, agreed to be of
what assistance he could.
Friends of the Governor said to-
night that he would send special mes
sage to the Legislature Monday night
urging it to ratify the Federal bone
dry amendment and warning it that
any referendum bill it might pass
would be vetoed by him unless it first
ratlhed the proposed prohibition
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton.
Senator William H. Hill, of Broome
County, and Assemblyman Walter S.
McNab. of Schenectady, were more
cheerful to-day after they and other
drys had conferred with the Governor
before he left for New York
But, after the Assembly yesterday,
by a vote Of IS to Cd, amended the
amendment so as to submit the mat
ter to the people next fall, they were
chary in making predictions as to what
the Assembly would do Monday night,
when the amended measure comes up
for action.
They believe, however, that mes
sage from the Governor may sway
some of the upstate Assemblymen
who voted with the vets yesterday, but
whether enough could be Influenced to
insure the adoption of the resolution
in the lower house they would not pre-
dict.
Situation in the Senate
That the prohibition question is
going to plague the Senate next week
a little earlier than expected was mar
ifest when Senator George B. Welling-
ton, of Rensselaer,, asked that q close
call of the house be ordered for
Wednesday, when he would move to
discharge the Taxation and Retrench-
ment Committee from further consid-
GRAFTON of the measure.
Senator Elon R. Brown, majority
leader, acceded to the request, and
served notice that all Senators must be
present in their seats Wednesday morn
ing.
The drys assert they have twenty
seven votes in the Senate, enough to
discharge the committee and adopt the
resolution. The vets say they control
the Senate, claiming twenty-six votes
and declaring the drys have only twen-
ty-three.
Senator Brown, who controls the SEN
ate, is openly against prohibition, "be-
cause it does not prohibit" He is in
favor Of having the Legislature enact a
temperance bill now before the Legis-
lature providing that during the war

Wilson Wins
Z Vital Votes
For Suffrage
Victory Assured by Switch
of Southern
Senators
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, March ia poll of
the Senate taken to-day by Senator
Curtis, of Kansas, the Republican whip,
showed that the suffragists still lacked
two votes Of enough to put through
the Federal amendment. l am informed
by Senator, however, who has never
made me positive statement before
which has turned out to be incorrect,
that the President has swung over
these two votes. He asked that the
names of the Senators be not printed,
as it might embarras them, but said
that so far as the actual voting on the
final rollcall is concerned the victory
for suffrage is won in Congress, and
the battle soon will be transferred.
with the submission of the amendment
TO the states, to the legislatures.
Other Senators confirmed the fact
that two Senators, just enough to give
the necessary thirds vote when
added to those polled for the amend
ment by Mr.. Curtis, had been counted
against the amendment in the poll, but
would be found in the "aye" column
when the time comes. The names of
the Senators are being mentioned in
cloakroom gossip, but I can say only
that both are from the same Southern
state.
MIR. Calder Speaks for Suffrage
Senator Smoot, of Utah, declared to-
day there was no doubt of final victory
for suffrage in the Senate, despite the
fact that the polls show an insufficient
number. He said the Republicans
would vote three to one for the amend
ment resolution.
A strong speech in favor of the
amendment was made in the Senate to-
day by Senator Calder, of New York
He said:
"Men and women to-day are ready,
as they have never been ready before
in history, to give themselves, their
life's blood, the things they hold near
est and dearest, for cause which is
greater than personal gain--a cause
which means freedom to the world

Ruin of English Towns
Urged in Berlin

AMSTERDAM. Feb. 23 (by mai). -
The destruction of 400 English towns
by German airplanes is demanded by
the Berlin "Tages Zcitung," "as a re-
prisal" for the action of the Allies in
confiscating 400 German merchant
ships. In a long article on the subject
the paper says:
"If we are in a position to DESTROY
the whole of London, it would be more
humane to do so than to allow one
more German to bleed to death on the
battlefield. To hesitate or to surrender
ourselves to feelings of pity. would be
objectionable.
more than 400 merchant ships have
been stolen from us by Great Britain.
Our answer should be that for every
German ship at least one English town
should be reduced to ruins by our air.
men. Far better were it for us TINT
Great Britain, France and the United
States should call us barbarians than
that they should bestow on US their
rity when we are beaten. Softness and
sentimentality are STUPID in war time

Archie Roosevelt
W Wounded; Wins
|Croiix de Guerre
Hell Soon Be Back on
Firing Line" Colonel's
Comment

Captain Archie Roosevelt, third son
of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, has
been wounded and awarded the French
Croix de Guerre for gallantry in action.
according to cable messages received in
this city yesterday. His injuries, rated
by the War Department as slight, con-
sist of a shrapnel wound in the leg and
broken right arm.
The War Department message, con-
tanning the formal statement that he
had been slightly wounded and taken to
hospital, reached the Colonel soon
after he had been notified by press
association that the French war cross
had been given to him in recognition of
gallant conduct
"It's all right, it's eli right" he said.
"as long as he isn't killed."
Soon after another message was re-
ceived, this time cable from the
Colonel's eldest son, Major Theodore
Roosevelt, describing his brothers in
juries.
"Archie wounded by shrapnel slight
ly in Leg" he cabled. "Arm broken, but
not badly. No danger. Ted"
Well" said the Colonel after this
had been read to him by his secretary,
Miss josephine N. Stricken, "that is not
SO bad. He will get over that all right
and soon be ready to go back to the fir
ing line"
Colonel Phones Mrs. Roosevelt
Immediately on receipt of the mes
sage from Major Roosevelt Colonel
Roosevelt telephoned its contents to the
young mans vile, who, with their
three-weeks-old baby, Archibald Bull
lock Roosevelt, jr., is at the home Of
Lockwood, Ill Bay State Road, Boston,
assuring her that all would soon be
we'll. He told her that he believed the
war cross had been given in recogni-
ton of trench raid in which Archie
participated some time ago, when hc
was still a second lieutenant. Tho
story Of this raid, which is believed to
have been the explanation for his pro-
motion to a captaincy, has not been
made public in this country.
Later, to the reporters, who found
him walking about his Oyster Bay cs-
tate, looking much improved by his few
pressed the belief that Archie would
not long remain in the hospital.
"The cable from Ted" said he, "gives
no cause to worry.

mighty proud, of my four boys. And,'
he added, II am just as proud of my
two girls"
First News in Weeks
Previously he had told the reporters
that the news of the French decoration
bestowed on Archie was the first word
that had come from him in weeks.
II cabled him three weeks ago, when
his baby was born" he said, "but VIC
don't know that he ever received the
message. SO this is the first news in

Board Lacked Power
Over War Contracts

The organization was bad--two bu-
reau chiefs, with partly civilian
board as their advisers. The board
had no power over contracts. 1t had
no authority over engineering. 1t
could not act except under the direc-
tion of its military and naval chiefs.
Responsibility was hard to place, for,
though the board had nothing to do
with contracts, it was supposed to
stimulate production.
Moreover, the military system has
had another bad effect upon the air
programme. There have been constant
changes in the military personnel of
the Aircraft Production Board.
The delay in producing arplanes has
not been due. however, entirely to this
fault of organization. Even had there
been production board with authority
and headed by a single capable execu-
tive the result would have been found
to fall short of promises. In the first
place, the board promised too much.
General Squier is long on enthusiasm.
| Mr.. Coffin is also inclined to take a
rosy view of what he has to do.
In the next place manufacturing diff
fculties that could not have been fore
seen interfered. Labor troubles were
encountered as consequence of the
lack of a labor policy on the part of the
Administration. Like every other in.
dustry, the airplane industry suffered
from the transportation difficulties OF
the last winter.
The exact situation with respect to
battleplanes is that we are now where
we should have been on the 1st of
January. About the first of July we
shall be able to send abroad as many
airplanes as we expected to send on
the lst of April. In other words, we
arc three months behind the schedule.

General Squier TO Lose Con-
troll of Production in +
a Few Days
By e. W. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, March 13.-A drastic
reorganization of aircraft production
will take place in few days. Control
over production will pass entirely, or
at any rate largely, out of the hands
of General Squier. 1t is not possible
to make this statement more definite
because the details of the coming
changes have not been completely
worked out
In addition, the whole subject of air.
craft production is to be thoroughly in
vestigated by the committee of three
of which H. Snowden Marshall is
chairman. The appointment of this
committee followed the disclosure to
the Senate Military Affairs Committee
that only one-tenth of the airplanes
which had been promised by this coun-
try For service on the Western front
early this spring would be ready on the
first of April. But the request for an
investigation came from Howard Cof-
fin, Of the Aircraft Production Board
himself. He laid the matter before the
President, and prompt and vigorous
action has COME from the War Depart
ment, which Mas shown in this case a
degree of energy entirely lacking when
the inetficiency in the ordnance and
quartcrmaster general bureaus was dis
closed.
Failure of Military
Organization Is Shown
The situation with respect to air.
planes is like the situation with respect
to ordnance when General Crozier was
at the head of the Ordnance Bureau.
A military organization again has
shown it's incapacity to meet an indus
trial situation. How much the fault is
due to General Squier and how much
it is due to the military system is not
clear, but it is plain that civilian con-
troll of aircraft production is necessary
if the nations hopes of becoming a
great factor in the air are to be real
lied.
To what extent aircraft production
has been under pure military control
has not generally been understood bv
the public. The prominence of civil
ians like Howard Coffin in the Aircraft
PRODUCTION Board have suggested civil
ian control. But the board has been
purely advisory. The real authority over
the airplane programme has been in the
hands Of General Squier representing
the army and Admiral Taylor repre-
senting the navy. Since the air pro-
gramme is largely an army programme
the authority of General Squier has
been most important. Not only is the
real authority in the hands of military
and naval chiefs, but besides General
Squier and Admiral Taylor an army
and navy officer has sat in the board,
which by reason of the delay of the
President filling two civilian positions
has been p1odominately military and
naval.
So, in spite Of the general belief to
the contrary, the making of airpanes
has devolvcd as much upon the perma-
nent bureaus here as has the making
of guns the function of the Ordnance
Bureau.

HARRY WRIGHT ARRESTED
 VIOLATING LIQUOR LAWS

Harry Wright, formerly of Clifton, was arrested at Rodeo, N. M, by Federal authorities recently charged with violating the liquor laws of Arizona.
 His arrest followed the taking into custody of two bootleggers, who were caught with a quantity of fn- toxicants which they had introduced into the state in an automobile. When arraigned the men stated that they were furnished the liquor by Wright, who was interested in the proceeds of the sale of the wet goods.
 It is stated that Wright will ac- knowledge to selling the men the intoxicants, but denies any partner ship interest in the proceeds. Wright was taken to Tucson immediately af- ter his arrest, where he made bond for his appearance next Tuesday, when the court will hear the case.
 While here MT. Wright was prop rietor of the Cabinet saloon, and afterwards conducted the Gem Bill Hard parlor. After prohibition was instituted in Arizona he moved to Lordsburg, where he engaged in the liquor business under the firm name of Morris and Wright, but later moved to Rodeo where he is now engaged in the same business.

CLEAN P-CL|FTO TON
 DEMI-M0NDE ID 60
cLiFToN,S CHIEF OF POLICE IS,
 SAID TO- HAaME IsaAUGURATED - A MOVE TO RID THE CITY OF
 THE SOCIAL. EVIL

The, spirit of cleaner social life, which is being vigorously pushed in other towns, has reached Clifton. Each health and Peace officer in the different communities of the state have receivedI a copy of the state health laws im reference to the social evil. Clifton officers are in receipt of copies of these statutes, and it is stated that the chief of police has notified the denfzens in the restrict ed districts to prepare to emigrrate in short time, as their stay in Cliff ton is numbered by days, and few of them.
 Dr. l.. A. W. Burtch, county health officer, has received instructions to take some action in the premises in, the interest of health. Just what his instructions are or what he will take in the premises, is not known, as he was out of town yesterday, and did not return in time to get his posi- tion on the matter for this story. But it is presumed that he will act in conjunction with the peace officers, and compell these inhabi- tants of the reservation to change their location.
 For the conservation of health Ari- zona has passed the most drastic laws, perhaps, of any state in the Un- ion, for the suppression of the social evil. Paragraph 13, under the Pub lie Health Act, which has been far nfshed the Copper Era by Dr. L. A. w. Burtch, reads as follows:
 "Par. 13.-It is hereby declared
 that all houses of prostitution are
 sources of venereaf infection, and
 such houses are hereby ordered
 closed forthwith. Any keeper of
 a hotel, rooming house, boarding
 house, amusement haA, park,
 apartment, or any other place,
 who shall knowingly harbor one
 or more prostitutes shall be guilty
 of violation of these rules and
 punishable according to the pro-
 visions of Par. 37, of the Public
 Health Act, Revised Statutes of
 Arizona, 1913, Par. 4403."
 The wave of public opinion against the social evil, like unto the anta gon- ism of the whiskey traffic, is sweep ing the country from ocean to ocean, and each is doomed to extermination, and will, ere long, be numbered with the things that were.
