PRESIDENT SAVES DAYLIGHT SAVING
 LAW BY HIS VETO
By Associated Pres,


 Washington. July 12.-The day light saving law was rescued from repeal today by President Wilson's veto of the agricultural appropria- tien bill.
 At the same time the President also vetoed the sundry civil ap- propriatfon bill because, he said, by restricting funds 1t crippled the work of rehabilitating and restor- ing disabled soldiers and sailors to civil life.
 Veto of daylight saving was not accepted so readily, although the prevailing opinion was that necessary two-thirds vote to re- pass 1t over the Presidents hcnd probably would not be registered.
 The first test will come in the House Monday. when, according to announcement. Republican Leader MondeI or Chairman Haugen of the agricultural committee will move the repassage of the bill, with the daylight saving repeal intact. over the presidential veto. Both bills provide funds for which agencies of the government long have been waiting. They already are months behind schedule be- cause they failed of ordinary pns- sage in the last Congress.

Telegraphs Governor Kilby Expressing Hope That the Amendment Will Be Rati- fled by Great State of of Alabama
By Associated Press

Montgomery, July F. Pres ident Wilson today interposed his personality into the fight o-cr the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment, tele- graphing Gov. Thomas Kilby to express his earnset hope that 1t will be ratified by "the great state of Alabama"
 The President continuing declared thac 1t would constitute a very happy augury for the future and add greatly to the strength of movement which in his Judgment is based upon the highest con sideration both of justice and expedency
 The message, received at the executive offices late this evening, was not com mented on by the governor and very few members of the legislature knew Of it. In legislative circles it is practically conceded that the amendment is going to be repudiated, and those hearing of the Presidents message were not constrained to believe that it would turn the tide for the amendment.
 Under legislative enactment Friday the amendment is set for a special order or business Wednesday when the governor is expected to transmit it to joint ses- sion of the two houses.

DRY ENFORCEMENT
 DEBATE IS ENDED;
 BIG FIGHT COMING
Advocates and Opponents Now Prepared for Real Fight, Which Begins Mon- day, and Vote Before Saturday Unlikely
By Asseelated Press

Washington, July 12.-Gen. eral debate on the prohibition enforcement bill-12 hours of twas completed late today in the Hosue and advocates and opponents of the measure made ready for the real battle that will begin Monday when 1t is taken up paragraph by para graph, for amendment.
 Prohibition leaders admitted tonight that it was doubtful whether vote would be reached before Saturday.
 There will be a fight in every line of the printed text" they said first of which will be over an attempt to split the three part bill so as to take up sep atately a straight measure for enforce ment of the wartime law.
 Representative Igoe. democrat of Mis- souri, put life into the dreary proceed ings near the end of the debate, and startled some of the prohibition advo- cates by suggesting that they raise no point of order and proposed to let the House vote on an amendment to repeal the wartime law.
 It was just what some of them had been looking for, and half dozen were known to be ready with the contention that such an amendment was not in or der.
 MT. Igoe, in charge of the attack on the bill, reported out by the Judiciary committee, of which he is member, seemed to sense the desire of the prohibi. tionists to step forward and crush any such move. He went, therefore, to headquarters and asked Chairman Vol stead of the judiciary committee, in charge of the bill, to use his influence among prohibition members so as to lot the question be placed before the House for a decision.
 Tn view of the fact" said MT. Igoe, that the prohibtionists contend the ma- jority of the people are in favor of en- forcement of war-t time prohibition, will you not give the House chance i5 vots on straight-out repeal?'
 That is question I canont ar vel MT. Volstead replied. T haven hs1 time to consider 1t or to take the natsee up with those who would have 70 0s consulted
 That was all that was said on thf esS Ject, but 1t was enough, opponents ts. the bill said, to show that the repea r1as ton would have no chance

YORK AND READ ARE FAVOR|TES
 AT CENTENARY
y Associated rress

Columbus O., July l2.-Sergeant Alvin C. York. this country's greatest war hero, and Lieutenant Commander A. C. Read. of the N. C.-4 were the idolized favorites at the Methodist centenary today.
 Separate receptions were accorded the heroes in the coliseum which was crowded to the doors. Sergeant York, in brief response to his introduce tion said:
 T wish I could make fine speech to you but am not a speaker, I'm just plain mountain boy from Tennessee. All I have to say about the war in France is in honor of God. for without his help we could not have won."
 Sergeant York is deeply religious and this fact was brought out in the few words he said to the assembled thous- ands today.
 'T live and practice full salvation" he said. "and I believe in continual prayer. While I was in France I pray ed continually to God that I might come home without scratch from the Germans, and I did"
 Lieutenant Commander Read in re- sponse to his introduction. commented on the lack of enthusiasm over flying in this country as compared with that manifested in England and France. He modestly stated that the entire navy department deserved credit for the suc- cess of his venture in crossing the Atlantic.
 The two heroes, York and Read. met each other for the first time at a luncheon rendered them by the centen- ary offisials. After a tour of the ex position Exhibits the men were pre- sented with medals struck in their hon. or. During the day thousands pressed forward frantically to shake hands with the heroes who were protected from the anxious crowds by a guard of soldiers from the Columbus barracks

 Belfast Ireland, July 12-The 12th Of July celebrations were carried out to- day in Ulster on large scale. Sir Ed ward Carson, the Irish unonist leader, speaking at the Orange demonstration at Hollywood. Belfast. said:
 There is campaign going on in America at the present moment fosterec by the Catholic church. which will soon be joined by the Germans and their funds in order to create great anti-Britisn feeling.
 Heaven knows want good feeling be- tween America and this country. l be- lieve the whole future of the world prob ably depends upon the relations between the United States of America and our selves. but I am not going to submit to this kind of a campaign, whether for friendship or any other purpose.
 'I seriously say to America today-yoti attend to your own affairs; we will attend to ours. You look after your own ques- tions at home; we will look after ours. We will brook no interference in our own affairs by any country, however power ful It is not for that We waged the great war of independence which has just been concluded What right had an American mission to come to this coun- .try-come here in breach of hospitality of one nation towards another-to attempt to stir up strife in matters in which they were not connected?
 "The encouragement those men gave the Sim Fein party has created for the Brit ish government far more difficulties than they ever had before. believe that the visit of these men and the encouragement they gave to lawlessness, which Is being preached throughout the land, has addei greatly to the campaign of assassination of innocent policemen who were only do- ing their duty to their king and country and who were foully murdered on the roadside. with men looking on who had not the courage to arrest the assassins or give such information as would bring them to justice"

Untermyer Declares That Neither Under Wartime Act Nor Amendment Can Congress Say What Alc0- hOlic Content Makes Li-, quor Intoxicating
 
By Associated Prs.

Washintgon, July 12. The right of Congress to define in- toxicating beverages was de- nied today by Samuel Inter myer, a New York lawyer, in testifying before the Senate judiciary subcommittee, which IS considering prohibition en- forcement legislation.
 MT. Untermyer told the committee tha; neither under the war time prohibition act nor the constitutional amendment could Congress say that any particular percentage of alcoholic content constitute an intoxicating liquor. Both the act ana the amendment, he argued. left this as question of fact which, could be de- termined only before jury>
 In support of his contention that beer containing 2.75 per cent alcohol was not in fact intoxicating, MT. Untermyer sub- mitted a mass of affidavits, reports on scientific experiments and similar data. much of which was used in behalf of the brewers in the recent 2s4 per cent beer cases in the New York courts.
 My quarrel Mir. Untermyer said, "is with your attempt to convert anything you please into intoxicating liquor The war time prohibition act applies only to intoxicating beer and 2.75 per cent beer can be shown clearly not to be intoxicat- ing. An extension of that act under the guise of an enforcement measure is not within the power of Congress,
 The witness asserted that such power did not exist and any attempt by Con- gross to define intoxicating beverages would be an invasion of the rights of citizens engaged in the manufacture ot such lawful. non-intoxicating beverages as might fall within the classification thus made.
 Then Congress is powerless to enforce it's own conclusion?"
 Tt is poweress to forbid the manu- facture of anything that is not in fact intoxicating, replied the witness.
 Mir. Untermyer estimated that 2.75 beer now held by the 120o breweries over the country at 100000 barrels.

 At today's conference the questions at issue between the men and the ship ping board were not discusses. the fed eral officials contenting themselves with putting forward the concessions which have been offered by the Ameri can Steamship association. The private owners concede a ten per cent increase in wages, provided the unions agree on "reasonable" working conditions. and an eight hour day in port with pre- lerenIdl eHployHneHt lor AHieIiciii citizens, but refuses to make any dis tinction between union and non union workers
