Prollibitionists to Frame
Future Policy Sept. l
National Committee Expected
10 Decide if World Cam
paign Be Undertaken

CHICAGO, Aug. Whether the
mission of the Prohibition party has
been accomplished with national pro-
hibiton scheduled to become effective
next January 16 by constitutional
amendment or whether it should con-
tinue on the issue of law enforcement
or be reorganized for world pruhibi-
ton, are questions for the national
committee to solve September /. The
leaders hold varying Opinions and the
future Of the national Prohibition
party is in doubt.
The national committees meeting
will be in conjunction with the cele-
bration of the fiftieth anniversary of
the founding of the party. Two men
also who We're in the organization fifty
years ago will be present to talk on
the history of the half century. They
are Colonel ohm Sobieski, once exiled
from Poland for political reasons and
who recently refused throne which
Polish imperialists wished to establish
with the freeing of their native land
in the world war, and H. A. Miner, of
Madison, Wis.
On September representatives of
all prohibition organizations will hold
a conference.

The Alinony Club
To Be Disb0nded
Ludlo,c Street Jail No
Longer Is Refuge of
Non-Paying Husbands

The alimonasterics on Ludlow and
Raymond streets, which for so many
years have served as retreats for hus-
bands who had grown weary of sup
porting their divorced wives, turn their
occupants back into cruel world at
midnight might and vanish from the
scheme of things.
The Alimony Club is no more
Through an amendment of Section 1773
OF the Code of Civil Procedure the
way of the alimony payer becomes
more difficult. Hitherto, the man
VINO refused to pay his divorced wife
the amount directed by the court
served not more than SIX months in
Ludlow or Raymond Street Jail. When
he was again free OF jail. he WAS also
free of the drain of supporting his
wife, who. after having him punished
once for this offense, couldn't punish
him again.
All this is now changed through an
nmendment introduced by Max Herr
field, of Brooklyn, and approved re-
Gently by Governor Smith. The amend
ment reads:
And where judgment or order d.
reefs payment TO be made in install
ments or at stated intervals, the fail
ure to make such single payment or
,nstalment may be punished, and such
punishment, by fine or commitment.
should not be bar to subsequent pro
ceedings to punish him as for con
tempt for his failure to pay subsequent
but for such purpose he
may be proceeded against under the
said order, in the same manner and
with the same effect as if such install
ment payment was directed to be paid
by a separate and distinct order"
Which means that after serving his
term for payment, the unfortunate
husband, if he still refuses to come
across with alimony on his release,
nay be Jailed right over again. This
nay keep up for the rest of his or his
sife's life. =,
