MILLIONS COST
OF DRY LAW
Senator Warren Says the
Yearly Total Will Be
$50,000,O 0,OO0.
REP. FRED II. DoMINICK,

Prohibition enforcement will cost
the United States $50, 900 yearly,
Senator Warren, chairman of the
Appropriations Committee, told the
Senate yesterday. A large portion of
this sum will have to be expended
to guard the borders all the way
from Maine to Florida, and along
the Gulf Coast and the Mexican
line to the northernmost point on
the Pacific Coast.
For the purpose of simplifying
the work of enforcement, Senator
Warren introduced a bill to estab-
lish government warehouses. to
which the liquor now in bond
throughout the country can be
transferred. The bill was drawn
in the office of Revenue Collector
Roper and provides that the gov
ernment warehouses are to receive
spirits upon which the tax has been
paid, the government to pay the
cost of removal. A tax of $40 a
gallon Is to be imposed on liquor
taken out of the stocks. and suit
in the government warehouses for
bottling.
Heavy penalties amounting to d
Ndluc Ol lHt
removed and $500 additional, or a
five year sentence in prison, or both,
are provided for persons taking
liquor unlawfully out of the govern
ment storage houses.
Senator Smoot suggested that II
would be better for the government
to purchase all the liquor at a fair
profit and thus keep it under con-
troll, to be disposed of only under
existing laws. He said there was
total of 59,000,000 gallons in
storage.
Senator King expressed storing
disapproval of the bill introduced
by Senator Warren and also of the
suggestion made by Senator Smoot.
He said he felt called upon to pro-
test against the demands that are
being made for appropriations to
carry out the enforcement act.

Werrenrath Intersperses
Recent Compositions in
Program Here.
wILLIAn a. z. CHURCH.

Reinald werrenrath, the popular
baritone. was heard in recital at the
National Theater yesterday after
noon under the management Of Mrs.
wilson-Greene.
The program was the most interest
ing one which this singer has given
here, ranging from the old Italian n
to the recitative "Ah, Who on That
Great Day. and the aria 'Blesed
Resurrection Day by Bach, then on
to old English, Irish, French and
American compositions.
Werrenrath is a real singer. some
thing which can be said of but few
artists of today. He lives through
each song and makes his audience
live with him. In the second group
he brought out wonderfully the COM
edy OF Little Mary Cassidy" the
wistfulness of lover the Hills and
Far Away and the very real pret-
tiness OF The Pretty Creature"
His French suite was a revelation.
In lie Manoir- de Rosemonde." by
Henri Duparc, he rose to great dra-
matte heights, and in 'Sainte." by
Maurice Ravel, gave spiritual read

exquisite accompaniment of Harry

OF the closing group of songs, THE

frey O'Hara, sung with a perfect
"Canuck" accent, was the most bril-
liant, although the closing number
"a Hymn for America" with words
by the popular novelist, Christopher

accompanist, was very well done.
