Gated to-day, when Assemblyman Mar

moved to discharge the judiciary Com
mittee from further consideration of
his resolution carrying out the recon-
mendation Of the Governor to rescind
the action of the Legislature in ratify-
ing Federal prohibition and putting
the question to q vote of the people
Assemblyman McCue declared the
manner in which the Federal prohibi-

constitutional and that the people of
this state never had been given a
chance to express themselves on the
issue.
"But don't think that the Legisla-
ture's ratification of prohibition" he
said, "shows the real sentiment of the
people of this state. Their real senti-
ment was shown bv the election of
Governor Smith, who had always been

now blocking the streets of New York
is because workmen can get no life

The McCue motion was not pressed

10000 Gallons of
Whisky Stolen In
us. Since July /
Bold Raids on Warehouses
Cause Distressed Distil-
lers to Sit Up Nights;
Plea Made for Guards

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-Thefts OF
liquor from bonded and distillery ware
houses have Increased at an alarming
rate since the country went dry, the
House Ways and Means Committee
was told to-day by representatives of
the Federal Prohibition Enforcement
Bureau. They appeared in support of
bill providing T. special warehouses
for the storing under Federal guard of
the nations visible supplyof 100000
gallons so as to prevent it's transfer
to channels of outlaw trade.
Alfred D. Van Buren,, counsel for
the Federal Prohibition Commissioner,
said definite reports showed that 10000
gallons had been stolen from eighty
eight warehouses since July 1. On
every gallon stolen the government re-
quires the distiller to pay tax of
S6.40, he said, on the assumption that
1t was taken out for beverage use.
"Distillers have been so harassed and
distressed they cannot sleep" inter-
jected j. w. Young, statistician of the
bureau. "They get up nights and run
out to see if everything is all right
around the warehouses;
THE distillers do not seem to suffer
as much distress as the people who
want to get it out" said Chairman
Fordney, adding that there had been
reports that distillers themselves re-
moved the stocks and sold them to
boot eggers.
Members of the committee wanted to
know how long the present supply, for
use eventually by the nations 'sck
man." might last, if properly guarded.
Its hard to tell" Young replied.
Half million gallons year ought to
be enough for medicinal purposes"
Another movement for repeal of the
prohibition enforcement act was de-
feated to-day in the House. 1t was
launched by Representative Igoe, Demo
'crat, Missouri, who offered an amend
ment to the pending legislative appro-
priation bill striking out the $4,500,O 900
fund for enforcement of the act and
proposing as a substitute that the act
be repea ed on July /.
A point of order against the amend
ment by Representative Blanton,
Democrat, Texas, was overruled, but
the amendment was lost on roll call,
