NO BRIT0N IN 4TH.
MARCH, CRY IRISH.
Denounce Appointment of
Captain Glen as Par
ade Marshal -s.

Designation Of Capt. Roy Glen, Of
the British Embassy, as a marshal
for the District Fourth of July cele-
bration. brought forth sharp con-
demnation from the Friends of Irish
Freedom at their meeting in Gonzaga
Hall last night.
In l77G We declared our independ-
ence Of England and we will celebrate
that glorious day here next Friday.
1t is the heighth of impudence to put
forward any Englishman to take part
in any celebration of that event" said
p. ]. Ryan. who introduced a resolu-
ton protesting against Capt. Glen's
selection, which was unanimously
adopted.
Criticism of Senator James d. Phe-
lan's stand on the Irish question was
made by speakers.
Ireland does not expect freedom as
a gratuitous gift from England. but
demands it as an inalienabIe right"
declared Rossa Downing. president o,
the society, in speaking of Senate
Phelan's speech.
Senator Phelan is wrong in his be-
lief that the recent action of the SEN
ate in behalf of Ireland was to en-
barrass the President. The Friends OF
IRISH Freedom do not wish to embar-
rass him. but to advise aa6 warn
him." he added
The adoption of the resolution by p.
J. Ryan provides that only American:
citizens can act as marshals or Off
GERS in the parade.

District officials are confronted
today with the proposition of run

There is no prospect that the Sem
ate and House conferees on the
District bill, who are hopelessiy
deadlocked on the half-and-half

agreement before midnight. when

All existing appropriations have

Congress passing the 1880 bill to
make funds available tomorrow.
In this emergency there is but
one remedy. which is to ask busi-

John Armstrong Chaloner passed
through Washington yesterday on his
way to the Willard-Dempsey fight in
Toledo. via Merry Mills. his country
place in Virginia.

duct" issued by the Supreme Court OF
the State of New York. giving him
the right to leave the State and re-
turn between July Il and July % for
the big funeral" Sometime between
those dates they are going to bury

clared yesterday. before proceeding
from Washington to Merry Mills, that
II would be a grand funeral, with a
hearse and prunes and everything"
Chaloner is going to Toledo 'on
Willard" By that one is to gather
the impression that Willard is his IA
vorite in the big fight for the worlds
heavyweight championship.
By dint of having creased his
thoughts" a memory method Chaloner
learned from Professor Alexander in
Columbia University, in 1883. he was
able yesterday to recall how John L.
Sullivan rose from the floor after the
knockout from Corbett, with blood
cascading down his face" and, hang
ing to the ropes, growled to the
audience.
Chaloner had creased his thoughts
deeply enough to remember even the
growl. He reproduced it, badly
frightening a policeman and several
old ladies.
Chaloner is going to the big fight
because prize fighting is his favorite
sport from two points of view-the
personal and the spectacular. He
scoffed yesterday at the idea of
brutality in it. He was knocked out
himself in his dining room at Merry
Mills in March, 1903. and he says it is
gentleman's game

kiss than there is in knockout

COP. SEES PLOT
TO JAM LEAGUE
DOWN THR0ATS
Senate Leaders Fear Idea
Of Recess Is Trick to
Pass Treaty,

Republican Senators look with
doubt on the proposal of Senator
Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock. minority lead
er. to arrange for an adjournment
of the Senate from August until
October. or il this cannot be
brought about. a ten days recess
beginning as soon as President will
son addresses the Senate upon his
return to this country.
The reason for the doubt with
regard to the first proposition lies
in the fact that it is believed the
adjournment is a tempting bait to
assure immediate ratification of the
peace treaty. Senator Hitchcock
has informed his colleagues that he
sees nothing to prevent such an ad-
journment. as practically all press
ing legislation will have been at
tended 70 by that time.
Month Debate on League.
Nevertheless, the Republicans
think the most pressing matter for
the Senate's consideration is the
peace treaty. and that more than a
month will be consumed before final
action can be taken on it.
If strategy impels Senator Hitch
cock to say Democrats are agreeable
to an adjournment, it will not ac-
complish anything in the ranks of
the Republicans. according to GER
tain Republican Senators. The op-
position to the league of nations
covenant is standing pat, they say,
and will continue to do so.
With regard to Hitchcock's Sec

the same opposition is apparent. II

With the Senate in session, however.
and debates on the covenant in prog

be compelled to answer many of the

Police Say Dry Lam Won't End
Bootlegging; DC. Well Stocked
Rum Runners Will Be Curb
ed Although Illicit Deal

A Time, Official Opinion.
Prices Due to Go Sky
rocketing, Is Belief.


When the hour of midnight strikes
tonight there will be inaugurated the
greatest politico-sociaI experiment at
tempted by any nation in this era.
Wartime prohibition. the initial
step in absolute prohibition, will go
into effect on July 1, which day will
begin at 12:ol a. m. Tuesday.
For the first time in history a nation
of well over 1oO.Oo0.Ooo souls. standing
foremost in power and wealth among
the nations of the earth, and fore
most in education, will have tried to
impose upon itself the rule that man
shall cease the use of intoxicants.
Won't End Bootleggins.
How will it work in Washington:
Washington has been dry in aame
only. The bill which made Washing
ton bone dry, according to Repre-
sentative Gallivan and other wet"
leaders, was a mere farce. 1t served
only to raise the price of liquor and
increase the task of getting it. How
will the new war time prohibition law
affect the situation, wet and dry lead
ers are asking.
Police officials admit that it will not
stop bootlegging at once. 1t will
serve. according to the police. to ad-
vance the price of bootleg liquor. and
1t will check the rum runners who
have been jeopardizing their own lives
and those of the police officers as
signed to catch them or the roads
from Baltimore.
Washington is well stocked with
wet goods. the police admit. They
will now be able to concentrate their
energies on the apprehension of Illicit
dealers with less attention to illegal
consignments of liquor.
Law Will BE Enforced.
DR.. Edwin C. Dinwiddie, legislative
superintendent of the National Anti
Saloon League, declared yesterday
that the dry forces look to the De-
partment of Justice to carry out the
enforcement OF the war prohibition
act. DR.. Dinwiddie intimated that if
violations of the act occur In cities
where threats have been made to
ignore the act as regards beer and
light wines action will be taken by
the prohibitionists to see that the
law is obeyed.
In referrin to the million
emergency men" who. President
Wilson said. would have to be
demobilized before he could is
sue his proclamation setting
aside the war prohibition c t.
it is assumed that the President
had in mind the latest official
figures of army strength made
UP by the War Department.
The War Department gives the
total strength of the army on
June "a as 1.041.4S7, which in
cludes .72.124 officers and 969,363
men. While this total makes the
million men" to which the
President referred in his cable
gram. it is not taken to mean
that all of the army forces so
comprised will have to be de-
Fmobilized before the President
can lift the ban imposed by the
war prohibition act.
