Were the President to get the

BISHOP IS OPPOSED
TORAPID BREEDING

LONDON, July s.-There is a wide
discussion in England of a plea made
by the Bishop of Lichfeld in a SER
mon to the mothers union in st.
PauTs in which he said:
There are in England two corcep-
tiOns OF marriage at the present time.
According to one idea, marriage SIM
ply exists for the pleasure and satis-
faction Of the husband and wife.
IF the sexual impulse, which they
call love. ceases, then the union is TO
be dissolved. The idea of service
and loyalty is eliminated.
The other idea Is that of the mothers
union: That marriage creates The
home. which is the best sphere for
mutual service"
The bishop condemned artificial ex-
pedients, but this did not mean that
every home should have the largest
possible family In marriage, as in
other things. self-restraiDt must be
exercised, he said.

Innumerable roll calls were de-
manded yesterday upon quorum calls,
adoption OF the special order, upon
previous questions and upon every
other thing that could be seized upon
to kill time and irritate the dry
forces. And when the time comes
sundry amendments will be offered
to the bill, some of them by the dry
leaders, but most by wet advocates,
who thereby will find further oppor-
tunities to make the drys uncomfort-
able.
Benson Has Amendment.
Congressman Benson OF Maryland
will offer an amendment This is not
designed to hinder the passage of
the bill or to interfere in any fash
ion in its course through the House.
1t is q piece Of serious legislation
drafted with the hope OF saving the
flavoring extract industry OF the
country from destruction. The Nc
Cormick interests in Baltimore called
Mr. Benson's attention to the fact
that the bill as drawn by the commit
tee probably will make it impossible
for any manufacturer OF flavoring
extracts to exist.
These extracts are largely alcoholic
without the use Of alcohol. they can
not be made, or il made, they would
be Valueless. In their determination
to make patented compounds nom
disable as beverages, the Judiciary
Committee practically has outlawed
flaYoring extracts Mr.. Benson's
amendment will give these products
about the same status in the bill that
has been given to vinegar. He will
speak on his amendment when it is
offered.
VIII Net Try TIE Amend.
The straightout vets entertain no
hope of amending the enforcement
bill in the House, and they will make
no serious attempt to amend il. They,
however. will muster all their forces
to defeat the search and seizure
amendments and if they are over
come in the House they will appeal
to the Senate to choke off this drastic
and confiscatory legislation.
II will be three or four weeks be-
fore the Senate passes the pending
bill. 1t must be dissected by the
judiciary Committee Of that body
before il is brought up on the Senate
noor. BY that time the peace debate
will be in full swing and there seems
no likelihood that the enforcement
measure will come 70 a head before
some time in August.

No Trace of s'Billy" Dansey

Parents Believe He Is i'll
the Hands of Kidnappers

HAMMONTON, N. j., Oct. 14.-Of-
ficial and volunteer searchers who
have peered into every nook and
Granny of the marshes and bogs near
here are convinced that little "Billy"
Dansey, the perfect oaDy or village
fame, is the victim of kidnappcrs.
Parents of the missing child were
both discouraged and heartened bv
the failure of the searchers to find
trace of the lost boy. They now feel
sure he will be found alive in the
hands of some Of the rowing bands OF
gypsles that move southwark swith the
coming OF fall in this part of the
state.
Meanwhile every agency that might
lead to finding the missing child is
being used to aid the searchers. His
picture will be thrown upon every mo-
ton picture screen in this state and
Pennsylvania within the next twenty
four hours. With the publicity thus
given to his disappearance it is
thought he cannot long remain unds-
covered if he is alive
Aeroplanes have been summoned from
Atlantic City and they will join the
searchers tomorrow morning. Equipped
with wireless telephones, they will ly
over the cranberry bogs and other
overgrown spaces in the hope that they
may find hiding places that otherwise
would escape the eyes of men and
women working on the ground Whether
the child is victim of an accident or
is being held by kidnappers it is
thought this method of searching will
be of assistance.

The committee forbears from making
any recomme ndation either for or

phase of the question, AS follows:
"The companies have built up
