An interesting article by Theodore

resident of Cleveland and we'll known

Edgar Allan Poe. The acquaintance

youngsters and Pease recalled that on
one occasion. over the possession Of
a copy of Hogarth's works. they threw
dice and Poe lost and promptly paid.
This was in 1926. Young Pease met
Poe in Boston few years later when
the unhappy genius was reduced to
serious straits. and he met him once
more in New York In 1881. where the
poet was trying TO arrange for the
qualification of a hook of his verse
There are many interesting facts
concerning Poe brought out by these
"reminiscences. with certain peculiari-
ties that the Poe historians seem to
have overlooked

whimsically says: at seems pity

"Peter PeaSe was a stanch prob hi

WASHINGTON. May 5.-AnotheE ef-
fort probably will lie made in the
House tomorrow to repeal the Vol
stead prohibition law.
Anticipating this move. the House
Rules Committee today agreed upon
change in the rules which would
prevent such attempts through
amendments to appropriation bills.
There was some doubt as to whether
the House would agree 10 tho change
before the repeal proposition was
presented. but in any event prohibi-
ton leaders said tho effort would
fail. just as IL did on two occasions
recently.
The sundry civil bill, now before
the House, carries an appropriation
of 100000 for enforcement OF pro-
hibition. and It is the plan of the
antiprohibition leaders to try to kill
two birds with one shot by moving
to strike out and repeal the law.
On the last test eighty-siX members
voted to repeal, but wet" leaders
said they had assurances that the
