allnight session of the leaders of the
four brotherhoods here.
At 7:30 o'clock this morning no men

Bandit Handy Must Die,
Says Court of Appeals

1ntercession by Governor Smith is
the only thing that can save Gordon
Fawcett Handy, convicted Of the mur-
der of two Brooklyn bank officials,
from the electric chair. The Court Of
Appeals, sitting in Albany, yesterday
affirmed Hamby's conviction and there
has been no indication that executive
clemency will be Forthcoming.
The proceedings in the Handy case
of Appeals. The condemned man re-
peatedly has expressed n desire to be
executed without delay and the appeal
was taken by his attorney against his
wishes. The attorney gave no rea son
for asking a reversal of the conviction.
Handy killed the two bank en-
ployees on December 3, 1918. He en-
tered the East Brooklyn Savings Bank
with a confederate and shot the cash
ier, Dewitt c. Peal, through the heart
when Peal refused to throw up his
sistant treasurer, hastened to Peal's
aid and Handy wounded him fatally.
Covering several patrons of the bank
with revolver Handy waited for his
confederate to crawl through window
with $13,500 in currency. Then the
hlghwaymen escaped in an automobile
Several months later Handy was ar
rested in Tacoma, Wash, and returned
to Brooklyn for trial.
The murderer confessed and be-
trayed no emotion as he told the 'au-
thorities of his part in the crime. His
attitude in court and toward the law
convinced his attorney that he was in
sane and at the lawyers request a
lunacy commission Was named to study
Handy. The alienists found him sane,
however, and he was removed to Sing

opened the national conference Of
Liberals" in a small suite of the Hotel
Statler. Late in the day the meeting
was adjourned to the large dining hall
of the hotel, from which it had been
barred by the management following
protests from men who described
themselves as members of the Amer

temporary restraining order handed
down by the Circuit Court here, re-

the Liberals to use the dining hall.
In issuing the restraining order Cir

Prohibition Enforcement
Bill To Be Introduced
Will Not Provide for
Retention of B III G II
Complications Are Feared
Anti-Saloon League Meas
ure Will Be OH Same
Lines as Federal Act

The State Commissioner Of Excise
and his staff may be discarded as g
result Of the operation of the Federal
prohibition amendment, it was sale
yesterday. The state Legislature may
find work for the department afte,
January 1s, but apparently the prohi-
bitionists, who will propose state en-
forcement law, will not include The
excise department in it's bill.
The State Excise Department as con-
stituted at present has been in opera
ton since 1896 The head .of the de-
partment is Herbert s. Sisson, of Col
Inns, N. Y, whose salary is $1,000. His
staff includes Jay Farrier deputy COM
missioner: Clarence w. Davidson, sec
ond deputy commissioner; Charles V
Platt, third deputy commissioner, and
Harry D. Sanders, chief counsel.
In order to obtain from at least one
branch of the organized prohibition
forces an idea of enforcement legisla-
tion contemplated by the "drys," re
porter for The Tribune asked Robert G
Davey, superintendent of the law en-
forcement department of the Anti
Saloon League, what the league has in
mind In the way Of bill.
Department Not Included in Bill
"The enforcement bill to be proposed
by the AntiSaloon League will include
all the provisions and conditions OF the
Federal measure, without including OF
providing for machinery other than
exists in the state for the enforcement
of other laws" Mr.. Davey said. "That
is to say, we are not going to put into
the bill provision for the use of the
machinery of the State Excise Depart
ment.
"In this connection I wish to say that
the reason for not Incorporating the
excise departments machinery in the
new enforcement bill is not because OF
any lack of confidence in the present
excise commissioner and his aides.
"On the other hand, regard the ex-
else department under Commi ssione,
Sisson and his assistants as efficient
and dependable l do not believe that
better public servant could be found
anywhere.
"Proper enforcement of the prohibi-
ton law is so connected with the moral
and economic welfare Of the state that
it ought to have special machinery fol
it's enforcement We shall not propose
it, however, as it might appear partisan
Rather than complicate the situa-
tion by asking for special machinery
we consider it better to merely pro-
vide for enforcement Oh the lines of
the Federal act, depending for enforce
ment upon the state machinery de-

signed for the enforcement of any
and all state laws"


Representative Bertrand H. Smell.
chairman of the executive committee
of the Republican State Committee,
says each state should have law
the same as the Federal law. In COM
rcnting on the matter yesterday he
lli.':
Every state should have a prohi-
bition enforcement law identical with
the Federal statute. We could not have
law for Massachusetts which would
put beverage with per cent alco-
holic content under the ban in that
state and another law for New York
making the alcoholic content one-half
of l per cent and hope to get salts
factory results from the law"
The Federal enforcement act, among
other things, provides that the com
missioner Of internal revenue and At
torney General are primarily respon-
sible for law enforcement and all state
and Federal officers are by their oaths
obligated to enforce the law. Section
1914 Of the revised statutes of the
United States and Section 2 Of the
Federal code authorizes all state of
fccrs to make arrests and bind the
prisoners over to the Federal courts
1t also authorizes certain state officers
to issue search warrants for seizing
liquor.
Violations of injunctions are punish
able by fine of not more than $1,000
and imprisonment from thirty days tc
one year. The courts have power to
enforce injunctions. The law destroys
all property rights in liquors manu-
factured and sold in violation of law

Liquor Tax Is Urged
NoU York Tribune

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-On the
theory that thing can be taxed to
death, the executive committee of the
international Reform Bureau to-day
recommended that tax OF $500, 900 be
fixed by Congress on every pint of
liquor sold hereafter.
A resolution was adopted by the COM
mittee calling on Congress to continue
wartime prohibition until national
prohibition becomes effective on Janu-
airy 16 in the event the Supreme Court
of the United States holds the law un-
constitutional or that the ratification
of the peace treaty comes prior to the
effective date of nationwide prohbi-
ton.
Another resolution adopted urges
Congress to enact law making Ameri
cans abroad amenable to the national
prohibition law, prohibiting them from
operating saloons or dealing in any
way in intoxicating liquors.
The committee recommended TWO
reservations to the league of nations
covenant, one demanding that Japan
fully and speedily" return Shantung
to China and the other stipulating that
no provision of the treaty be con-
strued as overriding the United States
Constitution.

Interlocutory Decree
Italian Tenor Is Allowed by
Court Decision to Visit Their
Daughter Occasionally

An interlocutory decree Of divorce
was granted to ,,iadamc Margarctc
Matzenauer from Edoardo Ferrari
Fontana in the Supreme Court at
White Plains by Judge Arthur S.
Tompkins on Tuesday.
This ends the threc-year struggle
of the Austrian opera singer to sever
her marriage to the Metropolitan
Opera Company tenor and former
member of the Italian army. The
war and the conflicting national in
terests of the two artists, as we'll as
conflicting personal affairs, led to the
first trial for divorce in 1916. Madame
Fontana named seven cores spondents
end mentioned suit of blue satin
pajamas.
The divorce decree won in the first
trial was overruled in the Appellate
Division, in May, 1918, and new
trial ordered.
Madame Matzenauer now faces new
difficulties, as she reverts to the
status of an enemy alien. Signor Fon-
tana sailed for Europe at the end

married in Buenos Ayrcs in 1912 and
have one child, Adricnne, five years
old, whom her father is to be allowed

There are public schools worse than

that filthy schools are apt to breed
Bolshevism.
Mr.. Nudd said that his association
had list of about twelve other schools
in which conditions are bad. The as

"The Public Education Association
has not planned survey of New

it has picked out dozen examples
to show what conditions are here. The
S10,000,000 building programme sub
mitted to the Board of Estimate by
President Somers of the Board of Edu-
cation does not provide for improving
things at No. 70 or any of the others
on our list. 1t is, generally speaking,
a building programme to take care of
the growth on the outskirts of the city.
1t offers nothing to ameliorate the rot
