WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-By vote

of the nomination of John Shelton

Currency.
Republican members voted solidly

last Congress, it has been under fire
since the recess appointment was
made.

Lane Advocates Renewed
Effort; Asks for Few
Days of ''Real Sanity

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-preside
Wilson'S Cabinet decided to-day to call
new conference to continue the effort
to establish industrial peace. 1t will
consist of fifteen prominent Ameri
cans, without division into groups, and
the Cabinet will recommend nomina-
tions to the President
Secretary Glass. who presided at tho
sessions Of the Cabinet to-day in the
absence of Secretary Lansing, made the
following statement:
Responsive to recommendation
made by the public group of the In
dustral Conference. the Cabinet con-
sldered the question Of the confirm
ance Of the effort undertaken by the
conference, and it was unanimou
agreed that such new conference
should be called representing the body
OF the public, and not divided into
groups. This body will consist of ap-
proxtmately fifteen of the most prom
lhent Americans. Names now consid-
cred by the Cabinet will be recon-
mended to the President"
Lane Favors New Council
Secretary Lane, who was chairman
of the conference that failed, wrote
president Wilson to-day supporting
the recommendation of the pubiic
group that new conference be consti-
tuted at once to carry on the work for
which the original conference was
called
In this connection, Mr.. Lane issued
the following statement:
the industrial conference never
really got started 1t died at it's birth,
because questions arose which it was
not prepared to meet then. This
should not end the effort to 20 at this
business of adjusting labor troubles
by sense instead Of force. Oh for q
few days Of real sanity, when, with
composed nerves and calm Judgment
and without bitterness of feeling. we
could look at our problems and meet
them with our traditional hopefulness
and confidence.
Reckless Spirit Deplored
"Recklessness is in our blood. A
great willingness to take risks that
we have no right to take. We will suf
fer for this spasm of hysterical self
assertiveness on all sides. | want to
see new conference of leading minds
that will think in practical terms. a
real council of national defense against
the kind of civil war which some seem
to think another irrepressibe conflict"

McFeely and Harry L. Schmuiiing, of

/ they we're drawing their regular pay at
the same time. Wolfe and Casey are
said 10 have received 3loO ana the
others $40 each.

the City Commissioners illegally ex-
pended $21 500 in Park Department

Tuesday for
Big Drought
Order Saloons Closed a Dav
Ahead of Time Set by
''Drys" for Enforcement

Tuesday probably will go down IN
New York City history as "The Day OF
the Big Drought"
On that day at least 80 per cent Of
the city's remaining saloons are sched-
uled to close and remain closed Even
the beer with the 2.75 kick, which sur
vved the coming of time prob ibi-
ton July /, will be withdrawn from
the local market to make way for a
new brew labeled "l2 of per cent"
Although Wednesday was set asid :
by the dry" leaders as the time for en-
forcing the Volstead wartime prohibi-
tion measure, the brewers have gone
them Que better and ordered saloons
to close at midnight Monday.
Official notices were sent out from
the brewerics to all saloons which they
control by mortgage and that means
about 80 per cent Of the city's saloons
late last night under which the own.
ers Of such places are forbidden to
open their doors Tuesday morning for
the sale Of beer.
One Violation Planned
Unoffcialy it became known that
the brewers have picked one saloon
keeper who will submit to arrest and
act as defendant in Ii test case. Ell
forts will be made TO make the coun-
try "wet"once more. through a claim
of unconstitutionality Of the Vol
stead act. But in the meantime all
other saloons will be compelled to keep
their doors locked.
The steps that have suddenly trans
formed New York from a spot where
one might purchase what his thirst re-
quired and his pocketbook permitted
to Il dry area have come suddenly and
almost without warning.
On Thursday morning the exposure
Of alleged graft among the Federal
officials charged with the enforcement
Of prob ibition resulted in the sudden
closing of all leaks where whisky and
strong mixed drinks were available
Then came the reports Of intended en-
forcement Of the Volstcad measure
Wednesday, Now, under the orders OF
