Security League Not
Partisan, Says Orth

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-Charles D.
Orth. chairman of the Congressional
committee of the National Security
League. continuing his testimony to-
day before the special House commit
tee, inve vestigating the leagues political
activities. denied charges by commit
tee members that the loyalty test
charge. distributed in the campaign
last fall was partisan.
Representative Harrison, of Missi-
ssippl. read a letter sent by Balm
bridge Colby, Of the Shipping Board, to
Mr. Orth protesting against the in
cluslon IN the chart of four measures,
which were Republican amendments
to administration bills.
In reply, Mr. Crth said the measures
had been included because they were
the same as these selected as test
votes on preparedness by the league
IN 1916, and because they involved basic
and funaamental principles.
Mr.. Orth said there had been much
opposition from Democratic members
OF the league to distribution of the
chart. but it was finally decided to
send 1t out unchanged. He said as far
as he could remember Republicans
voted for sending it out and Democrats
against.
Activities of the league were criti
cised by Representative Barnhart, of
Indiana
Mr. Barnhart said the league was an
reorganization fathered by the capital
lists of the country to defeat Con-
gressmen who refused to bow to their
wishes and to give clean records to
those who had put money into their
pockets by voting for the declaration
of war and who sought to protect them
by voting against the income tax"

about when the nation goes "dry" on
June 3O
Piel's Brewery, m Brooklyn, is being
transformed into soft drink manu-

we can get to it." said the manager of
the brewery last night.

lcemaking establishment.
The Lond Island City liquor dealers

old liquor stores in Long Island City
and Astoria are being changed into
tenements and dwellings,.
Max Steiner, of Long Island City,
wholesale liquor dealer said last night:
For the last few weeks household
ers have been stocking up, the sales of
the wholesalers increasing 25 per cent.
Many men will have enough liquor in
their cellars to keep them going for
two or three years"
Europe will go dry within COM
paratlVeIy few years." said William IL
Anderson, state superintendent of the
Anti Saloon League, last night. "With
the United States dry, there will be
nothing else for Great Britain and
France and Germany to do but to get
on the water wagon with the United
States. If they do not, the United States
will get all their business"

::'Coming OUT Of
Evicted Tenants
Is Made Holiday
Pianos Played and Dinner
Cooked III Street, and
Children Are Kept Home
From School for Occasion

Three families of striking" tenants
OF apartment houses at S56, $50 and
1854 East 172d Street, The Bronx, were
moved into the street yesterday for
refusing to pay their rent Dispossess
notices were served on thirteen more
families, making forty-iive of the sixty
in the three houses notified to pay
rent or get out. 1t is expected that
similar notices will be served upon the
others to-day.
Everybody in the three houses made
holiday of the occasion. Children
we're kept home from school, making
the Vyse Avenue public school about
250 shy of it's quota. AS soon as pianos
reached the sidewalk somebody seated
himself at each and began a tune.
Abraham Stupnicker, vice-p president Of
the tenants league, whose furniture
wasn't moved because his wife was
sick, declared that if he could get
tents all the tenants would camp out
IN a lot a 172d Street and Seabury
Place, whence they could keep an eye
on me apartment houses.
Dinners were cooked and served in
the street, and while pianos ratified on
last night strikers and idlers squatted
on the jumble of household goods that
Uttered the sidewalk and were ha-
rangueed by anti-rent payers, who
urged them to stand fast and resist
landlords. Everywhere were placards
announcing I'VE are on rent strike "
The scene was lighted by gasolene
flares, and when these began to burn
low furniture that was really portable
was carried into stores whose owners
had offered storage space. Sentinels
were mounted over the rest. Evicted
tenants who did not have to stand
guard found beds in the homes of those
not yet evcted.
w. B. Keller, Of 90 Nassau Street,
issued statement Yesterday in which
he said:
"The three properties are owned by
the 1856 Realty Corporation, the $50
Realty Corporation and the 864 Realty
Corporation. There has been no so PEI
cent increase in rents. The main
trouble arose because the rents were
made uniform Some were only paying
per room $3.50, $5.75 and $3.50. The
new rent roll called for only on an
average of 81 per room, hence the big
difference between the raise of the
various tenants. Even the latter figure
is not as high as the ghborhoo
price. Judge Morris, who heard the
cases in court. advised the tenants not
only that they must pay or move, but
to stay on, because the statements OF
the owners seemed to be fair and rea-
sonable"

Wanamaker Reveals
Police Reserve Clash
Special Deputy Complains Reg
ulars Refuse to Give Rights
to Volunteers

Friction between the city's police re-
serves, under Special Deputy Rodman
Wanamaker, and the regular police
force was officially revealed for the
hrst time yesterday in a letter from
Mr.. Wanamaker to Chief Inspector
John Daily.
Deputy Wanamaker said that the
regular police were showing little con-
SHERATON for the reserves, that they
gave the impression that the reserves
were not wanted, and that immeasura-
PIE damage was being done because OF
this attitude. He asked that rooms be
set aside in every station house, if
possible, for use of the reserves, who
are renting many of their own head
quarters and paying for them out Of
their own funds.
Wlll you so carefully into this mat
ter with the commanding officers of
precincts and ascertain whether or not
there is any discourtesy existing ?"
asked Mr.. Wanamaker.
"A number of complaints have been
received from members of the police
reserves of lack of courtesy and con-
sideratlon for them by members of the
police force" he wrote "At parades
or places Of assemblage policemen give
no consideration whatever to men hold
ing police reserve shields. This treat
ment is having a bad effect upon the
reserves, as they feel that they are not
wanted by the police or the Police De-
partment.
Il regard this matter so important
that | am compelled to urge you to
take measures to change this very Sc
rlous situation"
At the field day at Sheepshead Bay
last summer $4,000 was raised for
fINn, =
reserves. No uniforms have as vet
been distributed, however. At Police
Headquarters it was said that the uni
forms were in the process of manu.
facture and would be distributed in the
near future

New-York tribune., 1919-01-21
Arguments of the Vets

Some of the arguments being spread
through the country by the association
are:
That the prohibition measure was
approved by the state legislatures
during "war fever" that public SEN
timent was not sufficiently consulted
and that a majority of the people do
not want bone dry country.
That prohibition will compel a spy
system similar to that of the overthrown
Gar and KAISER" and that the anti
saloon interests are already at work in
Washington demanding that large
corps of government inspectors be ap-
pointed to enforce the law.
That prohibition will promote Boil
shevism, because the actual enforce
ment of prohibition, when it comes,
will arouse bitterness against the gov
ernment.
Reasons that we never thought of
are now coming in to show that pro-
hibtion will be calamity" said Mr..
McMasters. "a great many of the peo-
pie who are joining the movement de-
scribe themselves as total abstainers.
| myself am total abstainer-never
pect to. We are fighting for a prin-
clple.
Would Deny Sacramental Uses
"The prohibition forces are already
starting to cause trouble. In the new
law there is nothing to prevent the use
OF wine or liquor for sacramental, medi-
cal, commercial or scientific purposes,
Dut the prohlbltionists are now trying
to have these privileges denied the pub
lie They even want the growing of
grapes stopped.
Prohibition cannot be enforced for
more than year. We believe that with
the rising tide OF opposition it will
never be enforced"
One Of the circulars being sent broad
cast by the association says:
"Bolshevism means confiscation Of all
property licensed immortality, the ele-
vation of ignorance, reduction of
wages, unstable laws. The Bolshevist
has no respect for laws He uses every
RESTRAINING law as an argument against
all law. National prohibition, unfor-
tanately the most drastic assault on
personal freedom ever contemplated d
under republican form of govern
ment, viii be the best excuse that can
people.
"You don't have to be drinking
nan to be against national prohibition.

stainer, but a man of deep moral con-
vlction and sterling American patriot,
Is Irrevocably opposed to national pro-
hibition- He viii mail you copy of
his full opinion, recently expressed, if
you VIII send for It"
