Dry Enforcement Is
Left to u. S. Officials

SYRACUSE, N. Y, June 2s-Cor-
poration counsels of eight cities, in
session here to-day, reached decision
to make no effort to enforce wartime
prohibition unless the Federal Govern
ment issues definite instructions cover
ing the method by which it is to be
done. The legal advisers to the
mayors held in general that the police
have no power to close any bar un-
lcss directed specifically by federal
authorities.
The meeting was called by Mayor
Stone, as president of the state con-
ference of Mayors. 1t was attended
by W. P. Capes, secretary of the con-
ference, and the legal advisers of Buff
falo, Troy, Geneva, Rome, Beacon,
Dunkirk and Utica After the meeting
the following statement was given out
"Thc wartime prohibition law is a
Federal law. The proper interpreta-
ton to be placed upon it cannot be
thoritative decision by the United
States courts, or in the absence Of
such decision q ruling by the United
states Attorney General.
Like all Federal laws, the wartime
prohibition law can be enforced only
by the Federal authorities. 1t Is clear
that the cities cannot take the initia-
tive in enforcement Of the law.
United States authorities are the
proper officers to whom all complaints
and reports Of violations should be
made. If the Federal authorities call
upon the local governments for assist
ance in enforcement of tho law we
recommend that such assistance be
given"

Saturday night with q crowd that was

tacking while crossing the street.
lt'seemed like any other night until
the theatres poured their crowds into
the brilliant thoroughfare, when the
streets were packed by dense slow
moving throng. Cabarets, roof gar
dens, cafes and restaurants overhowed.
Foreign uniforms were plentiful and
there were numbers of men in the
American olive drab or blue. In every
bar. and restaurant prohibition was the
topic OF discussion Shortly before
midnight someone announced that the
President had lifted the ban on light
wines and beer. This was a signal
for rejoicing, and everybody bought
again.

which hastened submission. It was
the continued resistance that hurried d
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

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-
tion 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.

Against His League
No Coming Back Against

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 ad-
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
sion:

try, This is matter of interest to
you. The quarrel in this war is not
to destroy any people, but to destroy
an autocracy that threatens the world.
| have not much patience with the pa
triotism of the people who would build
an autocracy to crush the German au-
tocracy, and build an autocracy worse
than that ore over there. | am afraid
it might dampen their ardor for more.
| am little afraid there might not be
much of a war.
"The rich man is not going to go.
He is making the rules OF the game.
These boys viii give the biggest sacri-
flee men can make-their lives. When
the way is over you can get only that
drearys message that what remains of
your boy you may have"
John Gilbert, another Nonpartisan
leader, was convicted some months
ago of disloyalty, and sentenced, and
this is what he said at a meeting at
Kenyon, Minn., August 1S, 1917, accord
ing to stenographic notes taken for the

is such great democracy, why should
we not vote on conscription? You
may say this is sedtion. If it is, make
the most of it. l understand they are
going to send a lot of collins to France,
but l hope they are not going to use
them for our boys"
Townley will take the stand in his
own behalf Monday.
1t was decided to-day that United
States Senator William E. Borah and
George Creel, former United States
Director of Publicity, will not be
called as witnesses.
Many attendants at the trial, rep
resenting both friends and opponents
of the accused, expressed the opinion
tonight that Townley will be acquitted
and his position as leader of the Nom
partisan League STRENGTHENED.
