the prohibition measure. 4so laughed
at the extreme safeguards taken by
some libraries, and said that not only
was this action not required by the
law, but there was no such intention
in the minds of those framing the
bill. He was much amused at re-
ports he received direct about cutting
from cookbooks certain receipts
which mentioned wine sauce.
wouId Hurt Reference Books.
Dr., Bowerman in deciding not to
be swept into the whirlpool of ex-
pureation explained that he would
have to go right through the library
from the Bible down and mutilate
especially the books Of reference. He
brought out quite forcibly that the
law does not prohibit home brewing.
and that those who would brew or
distill for illicit trade are already
better informed on the subject than
they would be after reading passages
from an encyclopedia or cookbook.
In the reference department on in
dustrial chemistry there are a num-
Der of books dealing with fermenta-
tion which would have to be destroyed
under such strict policy of deletion
DR.. Herbert sPutnam, librarian of
Congress. said that the Congressional
Library is different from public Ii
braries and that it iss preposterous to
think for .ninute that such removal
or destruction of references to liquors,

.ENDOF SOVIET BLOCKADE
HURTS REDS--HOOVER

The lifting Of the blockade on soviet
Russia has knocked one Of the great
est props from under the bolsheviki.
according to Herbert Hoover, in a
statement issued by him last night.
I have advocated, ever since last
winter" Mr.. Hoover said. that the
blockade on soviet Russia should be
and munitions. not because it would
do the bolshevik tyranny In Russia
any good, but because 1 believe the
removal of the blockade will take out
from under them one Of their greatest
props. For the past year they have
laio every failure of socialism onto
the blockade.
Blamed Allied Blockade.
''They daily and hourly blamed the
allied blockade for the shortage of
food, clothing and agricultural imple-
me1Its and the misery that has arisen
hcfefrom, and they have succeeded
in impressing this upon an ignorant
people.
.They have also used it as a stimu-
lus to raise armies under the conten-
tion that they are fighting to save
themselves from starvation.
"These shortages and this suffering
is not due to the blockade. but is due
to the total industrial Decentralization
and bankruptcy in production. which
will continue as long as socialism and
the bolshevik rule lasts.
MITIGATE Great Suffering.
.Jf the blockade is opened the boil
ehevik government must secure the
import Of food and clothing at once,
and thereby great suffering will be
mitigated.
..The acute starvation is in the
larger cities; these will be the areas
that must receive imported food"

SMALL FIRE OCCURS IN
SOUTH WING OF CAPITOL

Fire broke out in the basement of
the south wing Of the Capitol adjacent
to the kitchen storeroom Of the House
OF Representatives cafe about 1:15
this morning. Fire apparatus was
rushed to the scene on the receipt of
an alarm from the private box in the
Capitol.
Beneath the main stairway to the
entrance to the southeast wing en-
gines pumped streams of water into
the Capitol The flames were under
control inside half hour.
Estimates of damage could not be
obtained, but it is expected that the
water and chemicals poured into the
storeroom will cause a loss of sew
eral hundred dollars in addition to
that caused by the flames and smoke.
Elliott Woods. superintendent of the
Capitol building, reached there at
1870 am. to make a personal inves-
tigation of the damage and the cause
of the blaze.
The smoke is believed to have ruined
the wall decorations in that end of
the building, which had been fresh
ened up during the recent recess.

OFFERS A NEW CAR
LINE MERGER BILL
Federation of Citizens Com

mitted to Congress.

The public utility committees Of the
thirty-hve organizations which make
up the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations will meet in the District
Building next Saturday night to add
their weight to the latest movement
for a street car merger.
This was decided on at a meeting
Of the federation last night. The
committee on law and legislation of
the federation, headed by Charles S.
Shreve, brought in report disap-
proving the bill sent to Congress by
the Commissioners to authorize a
merger and to change the method OF
taxing the railways. The report also
disapproved another merger Dill now
before Congress.
The committee accompanied its re-
port with a new bill, which it recon-
mended the federation should have in
troduced in Congress on the question
of merger.
The outstanding feature OF the re-
port was the statement of Chairman
Shreve that after three weeks of
studying the legal aspect of the ques-
ton he is convinced that Congress
cannot compel merger, and can only
force the two companies together by

HOPES FOR TREATY

Disputes Over Reservations

Hopes for final action by the Sen
ate on the peace treaty this month
virtually had vanished last night.
Efforts of republican and demo-
cratic leaders to adjust disputes over
reservations will be continued this
week, but the time required for sub
sequent negotiations with the rank
and file of the Senate and the debate
which will follow in the Senate itself
are expected generally to preclude
final action before February, at the
earliest.

toward agreement on minor reserva-
tions was reported. Consideration of

nant and the Monroe doctrine was

conference with senators not members
of the informal committees.
Several changes in the language OF
the minor reservations discussed were
agreed to tentatively, it was said.
Details were withheld under the pol
icy of secrecy adopted, but both re-
publfcans and democrats expressed
satisfaction with the progress made.
Both factions, however. also empha-
sized that the work of the conference
was tentative, subject to approval by
the body of republican and democratic
senator's favoring ratification
Little Progress Made.
Leaders on both sides said little prog
ress had been made in the preliminary
discussion recently Of the reservations
affecting article x and the Monroe
doctrine. Republican leaders, including
those of the mild reservation" faction,
appeared as insistent as ever that there
be no change in the principles of these
reservations.
Some of the democrats in the con-
ference were said to indicate disposi-
ton to meet the republicans demands
on these reservations. but the attitude
of Senator Hitchcock, administration
leader, in demanding radical modifica-
tions, was understood to be unchanged.
