SCENES OF ELSIE FURGUSON'S
film ARE MADE IN FLORIDA
Star Of "The Witness for the Defense"
Spent Several Weeks in
Southland.

Elsie Ferguson, who will be seen III
her new Paramount-Artcraft picture,
"The Witness for the Defense" at the
Washington Theater next Tuesday,
spent some time in Florida making
scenes laid in India. The scenes OBJ
tanned were eminently satisfactory, the
most noticeable feature being the ef-
feet OF great distance obtained. Most
of these scenes are of desert and sea-
shore, with background of trees and
Jungle, which gave decidedly Far
Eastern effect. Hal Young was the
photographer.
Immeditely upon Miss Fergusons
return, work was resumed at the Fiji
ty-sixth street studio on the produc-
ton, the set being large tent repre-
senting the one in which the heroine
lives with her husband, an East In
dian resident. Before the production
was completed the entire studio hool
was given over to it, the story requir'
ing an enormous court scene, FOL
which many persons were engaged.

Enough Liquor Has Been COnfiscated
To Treat Every 0ne-Will Be
Held Until Court Orders
Disposal OF II.

Washington, d. c., Aug. = Federal
Prohibition Commissioner John F.
Kramer now is custodian Of nearly
50,000,00O drinks Of whisky, 1t was esti-
mated here recently. This is enough to
give one man-sized drink to nearly
every male in the United States.
Its whisky we seized in raids" ex-
planned R. E. Hall, chief supervisor of
Kramers detective force, I'VE will
have to hold it, guess, until we get
court orders for its disposal.
80 far no court has given us any
directions because no important cases
have been disposed of. Meanwhile
we're having to guard the liquor. Some
of it is stored in federal buildings and
some in bonded warehouses and liquor
storehouses. Most of the liquor was
seized in Chicago and New York"
Measured by ordinary standards, the
seized whisky is reported to total more
than 100000 quarts. This, however
Is mere drop in the grand total of
amounts seized throughout the coun-
try, since national prohibition went
into effect January 16, Police, sheriffs,
and other local officials who do not
report to Kramer's have seized far
more than Kramer's agents.
Customs officials also are busy sep
arating contraband alcohol from
Americans returning from Canada and
Mexico All trains entering the United
States from Canada and Mexico are
searched by customs officials.
Whisky now in custody of the gov
eminent is worth more than 100000,
600 at bootleg prices. 1t is unlikely
that federal officials will be willing to
lay themselves open to the charge of
inconsistency by selling it to persons
licensed to buy for nonbeverage pur-
poses This has been considered and
practically rejected, it was said
A large quantity of the confiscated
whisky is of the moonshine variety,
and, Therefore, good for nothing, ac-
cording to prohibition officials.

WILL VETO
 RESOLUTION
President Also is Considering Resubmitting the Treaty
 of Versailles.

Washington. May With President Wilson determined to veto hte resolu- tion restoring q state of peace with Germany and Austria. and considering the advisability of resubmitting the Versailles treaty to the Senate, Demo cratic senators received today authori- tative White House sanction for the fight they will make on the Knox meas ure, which will be called up for con- sideration tomorrow.
 nI response to a request to indicate his wishes to the Democratic senators, the president sent Secretary of State Colby Co inform them of his unalter- able opposition to the restorat tion of peace ny any means but the ratifica- ton of the Versailles treaty with its Legaue of Nations covenant.
 The most concession the president mikht make is acceptance of the Me Cumher resolution merely restoring comluerc.dl relat with Germany
 
 nically to exist The president will veto the Knox peace resolution with wallop.' was the assurance forth coming at the White House today. It was also deemed certain that the presi- dent would resubmit the peace treaty not later than the dispatch of his veto message to Congress. thus formally in- troducing the League of Nations issue into the presidential campaign for q "srea. ahd solenY referendrm' of the people
 Minority Leader Underwood and Democratic c members of the Foreign Relations Committee received .Ir. Col hy as the presidents spokesman on tne eve oI the battle in the Senate.
 Mir Colby pronounced the Knox reso- lution absolutely unprecedented in the history of the United States" and wholly unconstitutional. If it were allowed to stand as precedent, he said. il would revolutionize the whole process of treaty making and the hand ling of foreign affairs by making Con gress the initiator of diplomatic nego- tiations.
 According to Mir. Colby, the only way to re-eStablish peace With Germany is by treaty. He said the president Is absolutely powerleSs under the consti- tuition to patch up any scheme Of friendly relations or to appoint dlplo- matic and consular representatives un- til treaty has been ratified.
 MT. Colby expressed less hostility to the McCumber resolution which pro vides merely for the restoration of com mercial relations which has already been done practically. The entire Dem ocratic membership of the senate may hold a caucus t0 decide whether to support the MeCumber resolution as q substitute for the Knox measure. They probably will do so if they can get some assurance of enough Republican support to carry the substitute.
 Members of the committee learned also that the president is considering the advisability of sending the treaty back to the senate while the debate on hte Knox resolution is at its height. It is said that the president has not made up his mind finally on this ques- ton and that he may adhere to the original plan of withholding the treaty until he sends back the vetoed peace resolution.
