ANOTHER EFFORT TO
END WAR PROHIBITION
MADE IN The HOUSE
Illinois Man Introduces Measure
Palmer to Give
Opinion.

Washington, Oct. Ii Another
move to end wartime prohibition
was made today in the House of
Representatives.. At the same time
word went out from the White
House that Attorney General Pal
mer would render an opinion on the
constitutionality of recently enacted
prohibition enforcement legislation
| before it was placed before President
Wilson for action.
The move in the House was made
by Representative John w. Rainey,
Democrat, of Illinois, and took the
! form of a resolution which would
declare it the sense Of Congress that
the conditions necessary to the term
nation of the wartime prohibition
act now exist. Passage of this reso-
luton, it was said, would give the
president authority to annul the law
by declaring rehabilitation of the
army completed The resolution
went over under the rules and there
was no indication when it might be
brought up.
Decision of White House officials
to have the attorney general pass on
the bill covering both wartime and
CONSTITUTIONAL enforcement, cIldCt-
ment of which was completed yester-
day by Congress, was in anticipa-
ton of attacks on it's constitution
atty, based principally upon the
right of Congress to define intoxi-
eating beverages.
/ Since the wartime prohibition act
went into effect. brewers have beer
manufacturing 2.75 per cent beer
and actions begun by the government
to have the sale of such beer declar-
ed illegal have resulted in appeals,
which are now pending in the sup
RENE court.
J If the wartime enforcement legis-
lation goes into effect--and it will
automatically become law within 10
days after it is sent to the White
House. unless vetoed by the presi-
dent-the sale of 2.75 per cent beer
would be illegal. AS consequence
government agencies which would
be charged with the enforcement of
the law are preparing to wage an
active campaign against violators.

ATTEMPT TO LOOT
EXPRESS TRAIN IN
MEMPHIS Yard FAILS
Switchman Sees Man Get Aboard
and Notifies Junction Where
Train is Stopped.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 11.-An at
tempt to loot the express car attacked
to south bound Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley train No. 35 as it was leaving
the Memphis yards early today
brought the would-be robbers little
return for their trouble, according to
express company officials, due to the
alertness of yard switchman, who,
when he saw five men board the train
as it was passing through the yards,
notified a junction point on the out
skirts of the city where the train
sopped and the men leaped to the
ground with two freight packages.
One of the packages is said to have
contained jewelry but it is not believ-
ed to have been of great value. The
other was a shipment of pistols. No
money was shipped on the train, it
was stated at the headquarters of the
express company here.
When the train was stopped the
express messenger was found lying
on the floor of the car bound
That the robbery was carefully
planned was indicated by the finding
of red stop signal on the track a
few miles further south, evidently
placed by the men to stop the train
in order that they might escape
after robbing the car.

LARGE QUANTITY OF
AMMUNITION BROUGHT
TO the PORT OF FIUME
Open Rupture Between DAN
nunziO and Leader of Fiume
Italian Population.

Fiume. Oct. 1.-THE steamer
Persia bound from Genoa for the
Far East, with a cargo of 10000
rifles, 100000 cartridges, 20 bat
teries of mountain guns and two
heavy guns for the troops operating
against the Bolsheviki has arrived at
Fiume.
The crew mutinied in the Mediter-
ranean and forced the captain to
take the steamer into Fiume.
Fiume, Friday, Oct. 10.-An open
rupture occurred Thursday between
Gabrielle D'Annunzio, leader of the
Italian insurgents in possession of
Fiume, and Professor Zanella, leader
of the Italian population of Fiume
opposed to annexation of the city by
Italy, but in favor of an Italian
protectorate over it.
AS result of a campaign start
ed by Professor Zanella against
D'Annunzio, the latter summoned
the professor to the palace. A long
discussion ensued, in which Profess
sor Zanella, according to the press
accounts. exclaimed fiercely tc
u AnnunZlO:
"Your presence is perilous to the
interests of Fiume."
D'Annunzio, enraged by Zanella's
attitude, ordered him to leave the
palace.
The incident has been widely dis
cussed and has given further impe-
tus, it is claimed, to the government
of the Zanella party, which favors
a Fiumian republic under an Italian
protectorate.
According to information reaching
the Associated Press correspondent
the plan of General Grazioli repre-
senting the Italian government for
the settlement of the Fiume question
includes the withdrawal of D'Annun-
zio's forces and their replacement by
Italian regular troops.
