CANDIDATES AND SUCH
FLOeKINC TO new YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Homer S.
Cummings. chairman OF the Demo-
crat National Committee, was to con-
fer here today with party leaders on
arrangements for the national con-
vention in San Francisco, June 2S.
Gen. Leonard Wood, candidate for
the Republican Presidential nomina-
ton, arrived here last night for a
conference with his managers. He
was to be the guest of Otto II. Kahn
at luncheon today, and will address
the Chamber of Commerce in Provi-
dence, r. l., tonight.
George Wood, Lincoln, Neb., one of
three brothers nursing a Republican
boom for Gen. John Pershing, said to-
day Pershing headquarters would be
established here next week.
Reports were circulated today that
a boom for Governor-elect Edwards,
of New Jersey, for the Democratic

exciting, moments.

Hoover's food conservation campaigns

the wares they have to offer, in a way
that will make them hard to down

And, should they be chosen by their

a mighty snappy fight of IT. Both

"peppy" business men and, say those

Han On Home brew.

cording TO prohibition headquarters
here.
Han On Home Brew.
The traffic in liquor, wines, beer
and all forms Of intoxicating beyer-
ages today IL completely outlawed
through the United States under the
constitutional prohibition amendment
and the Nolstead enforcement act.
Liquor of no description may be
manufactured. sold. transported, i'm
ported or exported for any except
nonbeveTage purposes, and then only
with special permits issued by the
Government.
This applies TO home brews.
Explicit regulations to cover the
manufacture and sale OF alcohol and
a score OF other commodities like hair
tonic in which alcohol is present are
in effect today. The regulations made
public last night are in the hands of
thousands or special agents and law
yers in every part OF the country.
Commissioner Kramer today called
attention to one clause OF the regula-
tions as Of utmost importance and in
terest To the public generally. This
regulation provides that all who
other than personal use must report
the exact quantity to the Internal
Revenue Bureau within ten days a
heavy fine is the penalty for violation
OF the clause.
The regulation IL designed to apply
to stocks of liquor held for CONNER
citl purposes. Thousands of former
saloon keepers, hotels, caterers, and
distillers are effected.
Officials estimate that approx
mately 60,000000 gallons Of whiskey
rum. wines, and gin now are stored
within the United States. These
stocks are valued at millions OF dol
lars. What to do with them now has
become a national problem.
Action From Congress.
Internal Revenue Bureau officials
say the answer to the problem must
be framed by Congress, II being a
matter OF public policy Owners OF
the stocks, IL Is presumed, must not
be allowed to loose the entire value
of their properties If this can be
prevented.
And yet under drastic constitutional
prohibition the vast stocks cannot be
sold for export. Although these stocks
may be sold for non-beverage pur-
poses. this market is far too small
TO absorb them, officials say.
Meanwhile until Congress decides
what can be done with these vast
stocks, the owners are daily loosing
more money on them, officials say.
This Is because most of this liquor
is in bonded warehouses where the
upkeep expenses are very high.

Failure Threatens Effort to Ad-

Senate and House confcrees, in

day.

OF his program, Congress might AS

pass railroad legislation. House con
ferees have replied that in that event

The funeral Of John Barleyeorn was
celebrated in club and church last
night. the final knell being sounded
by william Jennings Bryan at 12'0l
o'clock this morning.
Even where genial John had found
friends in past years there were 10
sounds OF grief, the mourncrs having
resigned themselves to make the best
Of It. In the camp OF those who
wrought his ruin there was undIs-
guised satisfaction.

sioner Daniel c. Roper. Prohibition

Bryan Sees Dry World.
Telling OF the fight since the first
prohibition bill was introduced in
Congress forty-four years ago. Bryan
declared to his audience that the dry
doctrine must be carried to all parts
Of the world. He predicted the wave
OF prohibition would be followed by
"a religious revival that would ro TX
the world, and by a general abatt-
ment of wars and social unrest.
Bryan was referred to several times
by Introductory speakers as pro-
able candidate for the Presidency IN
the fall campaign. He announced
definitely that he is not at present
candidate.
when I want the people to make
me President l will tell them,' he
said.
1t was intimated that II he sue
ceeds in bringing about a compromise
which will permit the adoption OF
the league of nations covenant by the
United States, it would place him in
in such an international position that
he would be the natural apostle of
prohibition to Europe.
Great Reform. Says Daniels.
Daniels declared prohibition was
not party issue, but hailed It as one
of the greatest reforms in history
He said his order banning liquor from
the navy had been justified.
