TRANSFER AUTHORITY

Washington. April Illegal adj
visers of government agencies in
terested in liquor regulations exam
ined statutes and executive orders
without finding specific legal au-
thority by which the internal rev.
enue bureau might enforce war
time prohibition after July 1.
President Wilson, under the Ov-
erman act, giving him power to
transfer functions from one depart
ment to another, might delegate the
authority to the revenue bureau,
some lawyers declared. However,
this still would leave the bureau
without adequate funds to pay the
costs of maintaining large Federal
police force, unless there is some
legislation at an early special ses-
sion of Congress.
Suggestions received yesterday
did not change materially the air
of uncertainty over the question of
how prohibition is to be enforced
after July I, as caused by Internal
Revenue Commissioner Roper's an
nouncement that his bureau had not
the authority nor the funds to carry
out the enforcement measures prop
erly.
Many kilograms received at the
commissioners office yesterday re-
fected keen interest by individuals
and organizations throughout the
country in the status of war time
prohibition. Mr.. hopper added moth
ing to his statement in replying to
these enquiries, it was said.

September 2, 1917, issued under au-

STUDENT BODY ASKS
RIDDICK TO RESIGN

Raleigh, n. c., April 15.-Peti-
tioning for his resignation, i've
hundred students of State College
last night signed round robin ad-
dressed tc President w. c. Riddiek,
and if the head of the institution
declines the request OF the students,
they have indicated that the matter
will be. taken to the Board of Trus-
tees. ~
The request of the student body
for the removal OF President Rid
dick follows q wave of dissatisfac-
tion among the agricultural stud
ents. President Rfddick. according
to the students, had Indicated to
members of the faculty that he pro-
posed to curtail the agricultural
course and extend the engineering
department of the college. This
plan would have cut out three pros
fessorships, and the statement was
made last night that President Rid
dick had virtually requested the
resignation OF Professors Newman,
Mcclure and Roberts.
The students led by the agricul-
tura1 seniors, gathered last night.
put the proposition before the five
hundred and then passed the round
robin round for signatures. Every
student signed, according to one of
the number, and the petition, re-
questing the resignation OF the
president OF the college by wednes-
day nc twelve o'clock, is to be pre-
scented by committee today.
