Of Missouri, but of the entire coun-
try. The President needs the sup

world. That support must proceed
from men who are In sympathy with
his views on the war and the general
prestige and power Of the Preside mt

war would be irretrievably hurt 1t
the President should be repudiated
at the forthcoming election by the

either or both houses of the national
Congress-. Gov. Folks stanch sup-
strong stand for the things for
which the President stands. would
make him an invaluable supporter Of

nation at the treatment received at
the hands of her landlord. She had
gone a whole week without a drop of
hot water in the bathroom, she stated,
and her appeal to her landlord was in
vain.
"ae told me I ought to be satisfied
with one hot bath a week." she stated.

MI. Hart unhesitatingly told her he
did not agree with her landlords idea
OF what is next to godliness, but in
find no law to reach her case.
IF your apartment Is not heated"
he told her, report your landlord,
and I'll see that he goes into court,
but your bathing facilities cannot be
regulated by the present law"
Another person made complaint
about the lack of elevator service.
He received about the same answer
as the woman who complained about
her bathing facilities,
mot only did the landlord say he
was saving coal by not running his
elevator" the prosecutor was told,
but when asked about 1t he said
walking between the street and fourth

is stated, will be questioned in a case

If the counsels of some of the repub-

Mr.. Ferris Replies.

Representative Ferris of Oklahoma,
chairman of the democratic national
congressional campaign committee, in
a statement last night charged that
republican leaders, in answering the
appeal of President Wilson, resorted
ito generalities, speaking of percent
ages. but carefully refraining from
mentioning the actual votes of the
great war bills"
An incident that occurred during yes
terday's session of the House. in which
Republican Minority Leader Gillett call
ed attention to what he termed a vio-
lation of House rules by Representa-
tive Hef1in of Alabama in securing the
insertion of the Presidents appeal in
the Congressional Record under the
rule permitting him to extend his re-
marks. was pointed to in a statement
last night by Representative Fess of
Ohio, chairman of the national repub-
lican congressional committee. The
incident, which occurred during dis
cussion of the conference report on
acterized by Representative Fess as il
lustrating "the obstructive methods
in legislation employed by certain ele-
ments from the SOUTH
Hopeless Effort of Republicans"
"In a hopeless effort to convince
the country that the minority party
has given greater support to the
President on war legislation than the
democratic majority" said Repre-
sentative Ferris. republican leaders
have resorted to generalities, speak
of percentages. but carefully refrain
from mentioning the actual votes on
the great war bills. Percentages may
deceive the unthinking; figures do
not lie."
Representative Ferris declared twice
as many republicans as democrats in
the House voted against the reso-
luton declaring war on Germany,
while three republicans and three
democrats opposed It in the Senate.
He said 160 republicans and one
democrat in the House and twenty
one republicans and no democrats in
the Senate opposed the shipping bill.
Addresses were made by Col. Roose-
welt and Senator Lodge during the
congressional campaign of 1898, Rep
resentative Ferris said, urging the
country to support President Nc
Kinley during the Spanish-American
war.

The case before the court involves
a charge Of bringing liquor into the

providing that within such zone alco-
holic liquors, including beer, ale and
wine. either alone or with any other
article, shall not directly or Indirectly
be sold, bartered, given, served, or
knowingly delivered by one person to
another, or sent, shipped, transmitted,

fers to the handling OF liquor by

Governments Contention.
In the case before the court it was
contended by the government that the
statement of the defendant at the time
Of his arrest was clearly a claim that
he brought the Liquor. or part of it, to
this city as matter Of accommoda-
ton for friends. Mr.. Given and police
officials hope they will be able to ac-

Capt. James Hartley. of the ninth
precinct yesterday told Mr.. Given that
a conservative estimate of the amount
Of liquor brought from Baltimore on
the ."booze specials daily was 1900
gallons.
THAT is a conservative estimate"
the captain stated. I'm putting it at
the lowest possible amount"
The police captain said he esti-
mated that five hundred persons pa
tronize the three trains each day, and
he was certain they averaged at least
three gallons to a person. Capt. Hart

What can they say when confronted
with evidence to show their frequent
visits and return with large quantities
Of liquor?" was the query of a police
man.
"They undoubtedly will answer it
was for personal use. Then it will be
incumbent upon them to show their

be able to convince a judge or jury
that he consumed liquor at the rate of
