!. BONE-DRY LAW
UP TO WILSON
Situation Made Possible
When Senate Recedes
from Rent Amendment.

Prohibitionists Anticipate
Victory Before Troops

The bone-dry prohibition measure
now needs only the signature of the
President to make II effective, there
by stopping all manufacture and sale
of intoxicants after the first of next
July until the last of the American
troops are demobilized.
This situation was made possible
when the Senate yesterday receded
from the rent profiteering amendment
which had held up the food stimula-
ton bill to which the bone-dry meas
ure was attached as a rider Without
roll call the Senate agreed to drop
the rent amendment and adopted the
conference report on the bill which
has been held in conference for sew
eral weeks.
Claim Permanent Prohibition.
Prohibition leaders were jubilant
over the success of the amendment.
they assert that the enactment of the
measure insures permanent prohibit
ton for the nation for the reason
that the process of rehabilitation may
take at least two years, and before
that time they confidently believe a
sufficient number of States will have
ratified the Federal amendment to
make it effective before the limita-
ton on the measure passed yesterday
expires.
There was practically no debate on
the measure when it was called up
in the Senate by Senator Hoke smith.
OF Georgia. 1t had been arranged last
week that the purposes sought to be
accomplished by the rent amendment
would be gained by other legislation,
and those who had insisted upon the

mated that opponents of tNr dry

RUBIN FREED
IN ROY CASE
Convict Who Confessed to
Murder Witness in Hall
Trial.

Ben Rubin, the escaped convict
who confessed to the murder of lit
tie Eva Roy and later retracted his
confession, was tried and acquitted
yesterday afternoon for the crime
Ihe FalrfaX County jurymen try
ing the case were convinced that
Rubin had confessed to escape serv-
ing a siN-year term in the District
Reformatory. The man, however.
had been indicted for the murder bv
a Fairfax grand jury, and the
formality of trial was necessary
before he could be released to the
local authorities.
Rubin confessed to the murder
after his capture by the washinpton
police, but was unable to convince
the authorities of the truth of his
statements. when taken to the SCENE
of the crime. After his Indictment
he escaped from the Fairfax jail and
returned to Washington, where two
days later he was recaptured by
the local police. After his brief
trial he was returned to the re-
formatory at Lorton.
Hall Trial Monday.
Walter oliver, attorney for Lou
Hall. the woodcutter, indicted, also
for the murder of the child, has
summoned Rubin to appear as a
witness in Halls trial when it starts
next Monday. 1t is Mr.. divers
opinion that Rubin will be able to
convince the jury that Hall could
not have been connected with the
crime.
The evidence against Hall upon
which the Commonwealth will base
its case is understood to be entire
1y circumstantiaL Since his arrest
the day after the little girls body
was found in the woods near Burke
Station. Hall and his friends have
maintained that he knew nothing of
the murder.

NEW TRANSFER
PLAN TO START
lntercompany System Is
Operative at Three
Points Tomorrow.

Free inteTcompany transfers will
be issued tomorrow by the Capital
Traction Company and the Wash
ing Railway and Electric Company
at three intersections in the vicinity
of the navy yard. thus inaugural
ing the system for this city.
The points at which the transfers
will be issued are: Eighth and
East Capitol streets: Eighth and D
streets, and Eighth and H streets
northeast. The companies have
promised that new points of trans
fers will be agreed upon in the
near future.
The recent increase in tariffs
which was gr lnted to the compa-
nies was conditional upon the
granting of these transfers. The
thirty points of intersection of the
lines are being studied by the or
ganization of John A. Beeler. traffic
expert. As soon as the investiga-
tion has made sufficient headway.
representatives of the Ncompl nies
will go into conference with Mr..
Beeler to ascertain what points can
be agreed upon for the granting of
free transfers.
Additional Points Considered.
The three transfer points which
are TO be instituted tomorrow were
agreed upon by the companies dur
ing stormy hearing before the
Fublic Utilities Commission last
week. Ie was agreed further at the
nearing that the entire question of
lntercompany transfers be investi-
gated by Mr.. Beeler, and that rec
concentrations should be made by
MIN as to additional points at which
iree lntercompany transfers should
be granted. It is believed to be
improbable that transfers will be
recommended at all of the thirty
points of intersection.
Mr.. Beeler plans that his investi-
CATION will have been carried far
enough by the end of the week to
call the companies into consultation
over the plans. 1t is expected that
the entire matter will be thra shed
out within three weeks. The Pub
lie Utilities Commission will then
hold hearing at which the citizens
may voice sany objection they may
have to the points agreed upon,
