Wheeler Calls on ''Drys''
TO Keep Up the Fight
.4nti-saloon League Counsel
Points to Campaigns Being
W0ged by "Wets'' in States

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Calling on
friends Of prohibition to get busy
rather than quit, Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti Saloon
League of America, in statement
tonight charged that wet organiza-
tions and some wet officials are en-
couraging defiance to national prohib-
tion in Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin and
several other states"
"They,' said DR., Wheeler, referring
to these organizations and officials,
"have enacted, or attempted to enact.
laws to permit certain liquors which
the Federal government prohibits. In
their campaign with wet propaganda
they are inf1aming the lawless to defy
the Federal prohibition act.
"The court attacks on national pro-
hibltlon, the threat of the liouor
organizations to elect wet Congress
TO weaken the national prohibition
code and resubmit the Eighteenth
Amendment and to elect wet lcgisla-
tors to carry out their program is a
sufficient challenge to- the friends of
prohibition to get busy rather than
quit"

Notification of
Prohibition Law
Anti-Saloon League Starts
Fight Against Move to
Change Definition of
the Word "Intoxicasing"

William II. Andersen. state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, an
nounced yesterday that the leagu, has
started fight against an alleged plan
of the liquor interests to change the
definition of the word Intoxicating"
in the 18th Amendment so that the law
will permit larger percentage of al
cohol in beverages.
"Some people think that the leagues
work is done and that it may just as
we'll go out of business" said Mr.. An
derson. "We are going to do nothino
of the kind. Great dangers threaten.
For one thing the liquor interests have
discovered that if they capture Con-
gress, by mere majority vote without
referring the question to the states,
they can so change the percentage of
alcohol IN the definition of 'intoxicat-
ing as to nullify the amendment
And there are still some other
things that can be done with Congress-
We do not believe that the liquor in
terests Will ever succeed. But in the
improbable event that the operation of
prohibition is temporarily suspended
through some technicality, Congress
can impose prohibitive tax 1t
should put tax of 200 or more
gallon on all liquor"
The leagues efforts are to be di-
rected to the enforcement OF prohib-
tion among Americans in foreign coun-
tries who, because Of treaty arrange
ments. are still subject to the laws of
this country. "By the treaty between
this country and China, made in 1874,
all American citizens in China can be
prohibited from engaging in the houor
business" said Wayne B. Wheeler,
counsel for the league. "A bill now
pending in Congress to extend this au-
thority abroad wherever treaties per
nit is based on what is known as extra
territoriality. 1t is we'll established
that Congress has the power to enact
laws governing its citizens in countries
where extra territorial privileges exist
There are a number Of countries like
China where such legislation can be
enforced. Where there are not United
States courts to enforce the law,
American consuls can act"

ALBANY, Jan. 25.-Water power
legislation will be one of the big
factors Of the present session of the
Legislature. Several bills are being
whipped into shape for early action
One. introduced by majority leader

municipalities and private corporations
would have to compete.
Because of this provision the state
conference of Mayors is opposed to the

believe they should have the first
chance to purchase the canal water
rights.
The Mayors conference favors a bill.
which has been introduced by As

or commission to act as an agency

'Drunks' Hare Disappeared
From the TOmbs C0urt

Score a point for prohibition. AL
though Magistrate Edgar rockingham
has an uncomfortable aversion to pro-
hlbltion as a constitutional amendments
he admitted in the Tombs Court yes
terday that the "drunks" have disap-
peared since the Eighteenth Amend
ment became effective.
The absence of the usual Sunday
morning inebriates yesterday led the
magistrate to make the prediction that
the Tombs Court district has been
cleared of whisky gVzzlers. In the
past many drunk and disorderly types
have been drawn from the court dis
trlct, which embraces Chatham Square
and Bayard, Pell, Mulberry and Eliza

"The passing of the saloon is a
blessing" commented the magistrate,

The view. was expressed that the

Russia and Germany and that this Of
