File Suit to Restrain
Prosecuting lnfraction
Of Wartime Prohibition

San Francisco. June 2l.-A suit to
restrain the United States attorney
here from prosecuting infractions of
the wartime prohibition act was filed
here by representatives Of the local
liquor interests, it was announced by
the California Wet federation. The
action covers all points not covered
by the suit brought by a vineyardist
to restrain the government from en-
forcing the same law in regard to
wines. 1t was announced.
Decision to cable President Will
son for a proclamation to rescind
the wartime prohibition measure was
reached at meeting of the Cali
fornla viticultural commission.
The action for the restraining or.
der invokes the ratification of the
natl onal prohibition amendment as
a bar against wartime prohibition on
the ground that the action of con-
gress in submitting and the states in
ratlfy!ng the amendment renders
void the previously passed wartime
measure. The action is supported
by he wet federation and its allied
inte e'ts.
The invoking of martial law is the
only way in which wartime prohibi-
ton can be made effective, the petit
ton states. ,'.,
A decision will be asked for before

Fl Paso, June 2l.-Interest in
Mexican developments which was
beginning to wane after a week of
excitement across the Rio Grande,
was revived by the publication of an
Associated Press dispatch from
Washington outlining the new Mex
ican policy.
A prominent Mexican politician
here of the Carranza party admitted
that the change in attitude of the
American state department toward
Mexico had been expected for some
time.
The federal army. he said, was
rushing troops to the north, Cen
eral Dieguez, commander of the
northeastern military zone, was ar
ranging for a campaign against Villa
and had airplanes. motor trucks nd
American cavalry horses. for his cav
airy. Exploration trains were being
operated out of chihuahua City to
the north, he said.
Villa partisans here were frankly
frightened today by the Washington
statement and insisted that Villa
would do nothing to give the Ameri-
can government an excuse for send
ing troops to Mexico a second time.
They said reprisals would not be e*-
acted and Villa would keep his men
away from the American border.

what do you suggest" | want
the judgement and help of each

First-Remove the desks we
are now using and GET
TOGETHER around the COM

ought. to consider ourselves the
board of directors of the city of
Omaha and to act as such We
are not primarily legislative as
sembly nor debating socitey.
We are the directors of a big
business institution that collects
and spends $2,000,000 each year.
| am. strong for getting together
around a conference table.
Second-Each of us should put
ourselves under bonds to keep the
peace. We can be in earnest in our
contentious without impugnng
the motives of each other. or
without becoming insulting in our
language. We do not elevate our
selves in public esteem or in any
way improve public service by
abuse of each other.
Should Get Together.
Thrd-Each of US should out
line his plans and purposes and
get the benefit of the judgment
of tie other members before try
ing to put them into an ordinance.
Every plan when adopted should
be tie councils plan and not that
of any individual member. This
means there should be more CO.
I operation. more team work"
more conferences among men,
bers. more confidence among
members and less pickering, less
fault-hnding, less individual pol
icies that get all of us into trou-
Bile. To that end there should be
more informal meetings of the
councilmen where proposed plans
and purposes are frankly discuss
ed. / don't mean there should be
more meetings of the commit

Gil meetings when the council as
such is in session, but more meet
ings informally where every ones

cussed, just as board of direc-

would do.

For nearly two hours the Scarlet

The letter which Mayor Smith
wrote each of the city commission
ers confessing the present admins,
traGon has not come anywhere
near" to what its friends had right
to expect, follows:
Dear Mr.. Commissioner:
Did you read Mr.. McGlltons
communication in the Sunday
paper? If not, I hope you will get
it and read it.
That article expresses my views
as to what is contemplated by our
commission form of government
| don't know how you feel about
it. but l believe | speak the Judg-
ment of our friends who elected
us and I know | express my own
personal views when | say the
present city council has not any
where near measured up to what
our friends expected of us and
had right to expect of us when
we went into office.
Feels 1t Keenly.
I feel this very keenly. | don't
feel there has been a department
or councilman (and that in
cludes the department of public
affairs and mayor who made
good as our friends had right to
expect. l don't know as | can as
sign the exact reason for this, but
even at the risk of being charged
with tiresome reiteration, let me
say l feel there has been too
much individuality in the council
and not enough team work"
Each commissioner looks after
his own department., takes no
active interest in the plans or
purposes of any other commits
sioner, and rather resents any
interference in his work by the
council or by any other commits
sioner. No one knows just what
the policy, the purpose or the
plans for the future are Of any
other department, until they are
made known by the introducing
of an ordinance, or motion to
set aside certain money. The
council, as such, has nothing to do
with outlining the policy of any
department in the city govern
ment. The council, as such. is not
fully advised of what is being
done in any particular depart
ment. There is an entire absence
of team work" among us and no
policy is formulated by the coun-
Gil for any department.
| am lust as much to blame for
this as anyone. am ready and
willing to assume my full share
of responsibility. But can't we
all see it is all entirely wrong
policy, and that we owe it to the
city of Omaha to change this way
of doing business? The policy.
the purpose, the plans for the
future, in each and every depart
ment, l feel should be the
councils plans, and after agreed
upon, the superintendent OF that
particular department should be
charged with the responsibility of
carry out these plans and in the
work of carrying them out he
should have the solid support of
each and every member of the
council. At the present time the
council does not formulate the
plans and the heads of each de-
partment does not have full sup
port of the other members of the
council.
Another thing that must be
plain to all of us-we quarrel too
much in the council chamber. We
