which fastened submission. It was
the continued resistance that hurried
up ratification. If the brewers nullify
the war prohibition act that will
clinch the enforcement Of the amend
ment.
Under the circumstances anything
that may be done by the brewers will
help the prohibition cause, and the
Antl-Saloon League will not do any
thlng to prevent them and their saloon
keeping vessels from going as far as
they like prior to January 16. The
meaner they are and the more fuss
they kick up and the more disregard for
law they show the more certain be-
ment, the earlier the date when it will
become a fully accomplished fact"
Conferences for Monday
Actual decision as to what the vari-
GUS liquor organizations, and the bodies
that have to do with the selling of
their wet wares, will do Tuesday and
thereafter will not be reached in most
cases until o-morrow. Monday will be
meetings and hasty plans for the
future
The Retail Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton will hold meeting in the after
noon just few hours ahead of the ad-
vent of the drought. The Society of
Restaurateurs will hold a meeting at
the same time to hear a report from
William Fl. Hirst, it's attorney, concern
ing the legal rights of the restaurant
men.
Some time during the day the Brew
ers' Board of Trade will hold a final
conference. The decision of this body
has been anticipated, however, in re-
ports that saloon keepers have been
advised to continue business as usual,
with the assurance that they will be
given ample protection in the event
of interference from any source. One
report set forth that the saloon keep
ers would be provided with bondsmen
immediately after arrest, in the event
that arrests were made.

Party to Court Trial;
Defendant Must Answer

JACKSON, Mimi, June 2S.-After a
short session of court to-day the trial
of A. c. Townley, national president,
and Joseph Gilbert, organizer of the
Nonpartisan League, on charges of
conspiring to teach disloyalty, was adj
journed until Monday.
If Townley is sent to prison it will
be because at meeting at Ltchtield,
Mimi, on June 2l, 1917, he gave utter
ance to these sentiments, as testified
to at the trial by Mrs. Lola Hanna,
stenographer, who was sent to the
meeting by Colonel P. c. March, of
the Minnesota Public Safety Commits

Townley will take the stand in his
own behalf Monday.
1t was decided to-day that United

George Creel, former United States

Many attendants at the trial, rep

of the accused, expressed the opinion
tonight that Townley will be acquitted

WASHINGTON, June 2s-Through
bills of lading for export traffic, sus-
pended since January, 1918, on account
of the. war, will be restored for traffic
moving through Pacific ports as soon

with practically all the steamship com

under which those companies will as
sumo any remurrage or storage charges
arising from the transfer Of freight
from the railroads to steamers.
Negotiations to effect similar results
arc being conducted with steamship

Second Treatise
On Crime Issued
By Mayor Hylan
''Leniency Does Not Make
Crooks Honest, but Takes
Away Fear, So Be Sfern,''
Is His Clip to Enright

Mayor Hylan yesterday wrote a sec
ond treatise on the detection, pre-
vention and punishment of crime. It
was in the form of a letter to Police
Commissioner Enright and. besides
valuable hints on the ways and habits
OF criminals, contained some sage
counsel he requests Commissioner En-
right to transmit to the judges of the
Court of General Sessions to guide
them in their administration of JUS
tice.
The Mayor complains to the Police
Commissioner that the courts manifest
too great leniency in the shape of
paroles to convicted persons, and asks
him to confer with District ATTORNEY
Swami and the judges to "see if it is
not possible to have a sterner policy
adopted for the future treatment of
dangerous criminals"
"Lenlency does not make crooks be-
come .honest," Mayor Hylan informs
Enright in the letter, "but it takes
away their fear of being punished"
Strong arm men," he advises, "should
be thrown into Jail as quickly as pos
sible and kept there as long as pos
sible."
The Mayor makes it plain he is not
for the indiscriminate failing of citi-
zens. He advances the belief that only
persons who have committed some
crime should be cast into prison.
I'VE all know that no one should
be arrested who has not violated the
law" he instructs the Police Commits
sloner, adding: II will go further and
say it would be better to let a dozen
guilty escape arrest rather than that
one innocent person should be humili-
ated and disgraced"
e. This thought leads the Mayor to
discuss the storm that has recently
arisen over the arrest by members of
the vice squad of respectable young
women on charges of soliciting.
He declares judges of General SEES
SONS in reversing improper convictions
of this sort should place the blame on
the magistrates who found the women
guilty rather than on the arrcsting
officers.
In another epistle to Special Deputy
Police Commissioner Rodman MIR. Wa
namaker Mayor Hylan suggests Wanna
maker retain lawyer to defend women
arrested for soliciting.
"This," he wrote, "would drive shy-
ster lawyers from this kind of practice
and end any possible connection be-
tween such lawyers and the police"

Denies Morgenthau Protest
Zionist Leader Here Terms
Paris Report Absurd

The Paris report of objections to
the selection Of Henry Morgenthau by
President Wilson as one of the three
members of the American Commission
to Poland to investigate conditions by
American members of the Jewish com
mittee at the peace conference, because
he is not Zionist, was denied yester-
day by Morris Rothenberg, a member
Of the executive committee of the
Zionist organization Of America.
Mr.. Rothenberg characterized the
plain that the objection to EXAM
bassadcr Morgenthau in all probability
is due to the fact he is Jew. Jews
feel, said Mr.. Rothenberg, that COM
mission appointed to investigate
atrocities against Jews in Poland
should not have a Jew on it, no more
than it should have a Pole.

Bones in Suitcase
Believed Those OF
Poisoned Oriental
Victim Had Coarse Black
Hair. and Examination Of
Skeleton Fails to Reveal
Any Sign of Violence

Wisps of coarse black hair clinging
to the skull, high cheek bones and the
failure OF minute examination Of
the mans remains found in suitcase
in q downtown hotel to disclose any
signs of violence led the police yes
terday to advance the theory that the
victim was Chinese or japanese,
poisoned in some Oriental feud.
Meanwhile, the meagre clues which
exist after the thre and one-half
years the suitcase lay in the basement
storeroom of the hotel are being fol-
lowed up in the hope that the MUIR
dered mans idnetity may be estao-
lished and the well-nigh obliterated
trail of his slayer picked up.
Chief of these clues are the pecu-
liar character of gold bridgework on
the four teeth remaining in the upper
jaw, the initials ~. n. A." on the suit
case and the hotel register for Deem
Der l, 1915. This was the day, the
checkroom tag shows, the suitcase was
left there.
The teeth were photographed at the
morgue yesterday. and a dentist COM
missioned to make a chart of tho
bridgework. Copies of this will be
sent broadcast in the hope the dentist
who performed it will recognize his
handicraft and be able to identify his
patient.
Records of the Missing Persons Bu-
reau at police headquarters are be-
ing searched in an endeavor to find
some description that might fit the
victim. Deputy Medical Examiner
Schwartz said yesterday the slain man
apparently was about forty years old
and about five feet, three inches tall.
So. far nothing about the suitcase
has been discovered that would indi-
cate by whom it was manufactured.
but more thorough examination will
be made in order to determine this.
