Michigan. the Anti-saloon League pro-

WOMEN MUST WAIT.
Anti Saloon League VIII Not Take Up
Suffrage This Fall.

The Anti Saloon League OF Michi-
gan has decided not to cumber up the
legislative and electoral program
this fall by striving for too many
things. The league will devote It's at
tention entirely TO prohibition matters
the defeat OF the beer amendment
the enforcement OF the dry law the
ratification OF the federal amendment
and war promotion
When the women asked that equal
suffrage be added the leaders turned
the request down, not because they
feel women ought not to vote. but be-
cause they want to make sure OF one
thing instead OF scattering their ener-
gy over lote OF propositions and
losing out on all

isn't an opportune time to bring up

LIQUOR ISSUES IN NOVEMBER.
Vets Are Active TO Amend Law For
Sale of Beer and Wine.

Two phases OF the liquor issue will
come before Michigan electors in
November But voters OF this state
will not be the only ones to wrestle
with the question which has played
such an important role in American
state and municipal politics for many
years. Eight other commonwealths-
Ohio. Minnesota. Missouri, Wyoming,
Florida, Kentucky, Utah and Nevada
are faced with the issues.
In Michigan, saloon interests seek
to have beer and wine sales legalized.
An active campaign to secure signers
to petitions asking that the state con-
stitution be so amended as to permit
the saloon OF these intoxicants has
been carried on. The first petition
asking that such a law be submitted
bore earmmarks OF being a joke and
was not seriously considered in the
Office OF the secretary OF state. Many
have been made and are being circu-
lated and sent TO headquarters in
Detroit whence they will be sent e
the capitol whence the hackers of the
amendment, drawn by Fred Baker, are
ready for II.
Liquor will be an issue, II not the
principal one in legislative contests
as the dry forces of the state will ask
electoral support OF those candidates
who will be sure to vote for national
constitutional amendment. Although
sentiment in Michigan is dry by con-
siderable majority of voters, anti-liq-
uor interests are not minimizing the
campaign OF the saloons and brewer
les. The latter interests are counting
upon the beer-and-wine amendment
being more popular with voters and
will make vigorous, at least more
open fight, to have the plan approved
by electors. They will carry the
fight into the camps OF the anti-sa-
loon supporters. In the other phase
OF the liquor question the offensive
will be taken by the drys.

along nicely until he came TO the AL
pha turn where he was met by the
state police who relieved him OF his
morning nip. The fellow did not have
any money to put up as a bond for
his appearance in court, so his car
was taken and Is being held In the
county garage as security. He will
probably have his hearing today.

.CONFERRING OF
15O DIPLOMAS
Makes Arrangements for
Commencement and Re-
lated Social Events.

Preliminary arrangements for COM
mencement exercises and other events
of commencement week at George
Washington University have been an
nounced by Prof. Richard Cobb. sec
retary of the university.
Graduation exercises will be held on
the evening of June in the assembly
hall of Central High School. The
candidates for degrees will be seated
this year int he front of the audi
torium instead of on the stage. Rabbi
Abram Simon, who received his
degree of Phi. d. from the university,
will pronounce the invocation and
benediction. The commencement ad-
dress will be delivered by Joseph G.
Auerbach, a prominent New York
lawyer, who is the author Of many
weIl-known papers and essays.
The baccalaureate sermon will be
preached on the afternoon of the Sun
day before graduation at the Church
Of the Ascension. Twelfth street and
Massachusetts, avenue northwest, by
DR.. c. Henning Nelms, the rector.
Rear Admiral Charles Herbert
Stockton, U. 8. N, retired, retiring
president of the university, and Mrs.
Stockton will give their usual recep-
ton to the graduating classes on the
afternoon Of June at the Washing
ton Club.
Approximately $50 degrees will be
conferred this year, according to
Prof. Cobb. More than 900 degrees
were conferred last year. but the de-
crease is explained by the fact that
many students have left the upper
classes to enter the military service.
This is a decrease that We need
not feel ashamed of. but Of which we
can well be proud" said Prof. Cobb

DRIVES AUTO like
TANK ON WARPATH
Charles Bassil. Negro Chauffeur. Has
Series of Collisions

Charles Bassil, q negro, certain
ly must have been convinced that
the automobile he was driving last
night was some relation to the
British tank that visited Washing
ton a few days ago and ran into
and over everything that got in its
way.
Whether Charles thought so or
not. he certainly acted as though
he had strong leanings towards
that belief. First while driving his
snorting metal steed, he charged
down upon the inoffensiye auto of
DR.. Albert ]. Carrico, 1908 Four
teenth street, northwest. that was
standing quietly by the curb and
damaged it 800 worth
Evidently quite satisfied with the
jousting ability of his car Bassil
backed out and continued on his
way when he met another automo-
bile owned and operated by Fred
S. Swindell. 1923 Columbia Road,
northwest. This machine also was
quietly parked by the curb, mind
ing its own business, when Bas-
sil's tank struck it for $500 worth
Of damage Apparently the new
model tank" wasn't harmed a bit,
anyway nobody thought Of estimat-
ing the damage it received.
Slight damage resulted when an
automobile operated by Samuel T.

collided with an automobile Of the
Connecticut Pie company, at Thirt-
ieth and Dumbarton avenue north

FAILS
TO REPORT; IS
UNDER ARREST
L. D. Waudby, Taken as
Deserter, Defended by
His Mother.

Failure to comply with an order
of District Exemption Board No. 10
to report to Camp Meade for military
service resulted in the arrest yes
terday of Leslie D. Waudby. 1924
Fourteenth street northwest. He was
taken to the Washington Barracks
and detained as a ''wilful deserter. T"
waudby was supposed to appear at
the Union Station, Monday. to go
to camp.
Members of No. 10 exemption board
questioned the young man, and he
stated that he had litigation pend
ing and wanted 1t closed before he
left the city. He had written to the
Provost Marshal asking for an ex-
tension, but he received a letter stat
ing that such permission would have
to be obtained from his local ex-
emption board. ....
Waudby did not understand that a
military summons Is. mandatory, his
mother said last night, and for that
reason he has appeared before the
world as a "wilful deserter" from the
army.
Leslie is really not a deserter at
heart" she said. why he is the
most patriotic boy in the world and
the most prosecuted. He has a suit
for slander now pending in the Su-
preme Court against men who have
accused him Of disloyalty and trying
to evade the draft.
1T was this suit that he wished to
have settled before he left the city
and he thought that he could easily
explain to his superiors why he did
not show up at the proper time. He
had every intention of going to Camp
Meade as soon as this was settled I"
II should think it could be made
perfectly clear to everybody that Les
lie is not really a 'wilful deserter,' "
persisted his mother; I'VE were all at
the supper table when the detectives
came and got him. If he had intend
ed to desert he would have left the
CITY,"
Attorney Joseph c. Brown, his legal
adviser, attempted to persuade waud-
by to go to camp, but he refused.

DOES HOUSING
BILL PORTEND
PATERNALISM?
May Be Part Of Sociahstic
Program, Says Senator
Fall.

Charges that government control
OF the homes OF American people
is intended under the $4,000, 900
housing bill held up the measure
last night In the Senate.
II had been expected to pass the
bill. but several Senators insisted
that q reprint be made 50 that the
measure could be studied carefully.
The bin provides for housing
workers 2 in arsenals, munition
plants, shipyards. and so on. The
goyernment Is allowed to build and
eomnandeer houses after payment
for them. Ten million dollars OF
the money Is to be spent in Wash
ington.
It was senator Fail of New Mexico
who made the charge of probable
paternalism upon the part of the
government. He objected to a
clause allowing the government "tc
care for and rent" such comman-
deered property as remains undis-
posed Of when peace comes.
Tt Is a trend to socialism" he
said Many socialistic measures
have been passed under the masl
Of war necessity.
This Is one Of the most insid
fous menaces to States rights thai
has ever been perpetrated-
1T has been proclaimed in several
big cities that this bill is only tht
opening wedge for government con-
troll of homes. and that very soor
G50.ooo.000 will be asked for TO TAKE
over houses. 20. -
