Anti-SaIoon League Considering
Plan to Have Government

A demand that Congress authorize
the United States government to pur-
chase all alcoholic liquors now In
bond and either utilize or destroy it
may be made by the Anti-Saloon
League of America as soon as Con-
gress convenes next December. ac-
cording to prominent "drys" here.
Il can not say that any definite
step has yet been taken in the mat
ter of the governments purchase of

attorney for the Anti-Saloon League
OF the District of Columbia said to-
day. But i do know that the ques-
tion has been, and is being, discussed
by the league. The executive commit
tee of the league would have power to
act in the matter and it, l presume,
would take the initiative in asking
Congress to pass the necessary meas
ures."
Attorney Wayne Il. Wheeler, of the
Anti-Saloon League of America was
absent from Washington, and those
in his office could not say If the de-
mand that Congress take action had
already been drawn. At the office of
John +. Kramer, commissioner Of pro-
hibition, 1t was stated that no knowl-
edge of such move on the part
of the "drys" had been reported. Com
missioner Kramer himself. however.
was out of the city.
In "dry" circles here IL was never
theless admitted that such action was
regarded as not unlikely as many pro-
hibitionists throughout the country
regarded the plan as the best practic-
able solution to the present traffic in

ANGL0-RUSS TRADE
DEAL STRIKES SNAG
London and Moscow Disagree
on Prisoner Releases and

LONDON. Oct. 12.-Negotiations be-
tween Gregory krassin, head of the
Bolshevik trade mission, and the Brit
ish government for the opening OF
commercial relations between Soviet
Russia and Great Britain have been
suspended. it was learned today. This
suspension resulted from the follow
ing causes:
First-The dispute between Moscow
and London over the release of Brit
ish and Russian prisoners;
Second-The threat of Great Brit
ain to sink any Russian submarines
found at sea and the warning of Earl
Curzon that Great Britain could not
undertake to promise not to give aid
to Russia's military enemies.
Moscow has not yet replied to the
British pote threatening to sink Rus
sian submarines, but NJ. Krassin has
been notified that he will receive in
structions on the matter in due time.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Although 275
talesmen have been examined. but
eight jurors have been chosen to hear
the evidence in the trial of Carl
Wanderer. accused of killing his wife,
unborn child and strange man,
necessitating the drafting Of another

Wanderer appeared in court yes
terday ettired In black. He appeared
in jaunty' humor despite the fact
that directly back :, of him sat Mrs.
Charles johnson, mother of his niur-
dered wife, and her brother, who
litsened TO the entire proceedings.
From the nature of questions asked
prospective Jurors, ii was expressed
by some that Wanderers defense
would be a plea of insanity, although
