HUGHES OPENS STATES FIGHT
 FOR DRY LAWS
(By United rress)


 Washington, March 1.-Twenty-one prohibition states, represented by Charles Evans Hughes of New York. today announced to the United States supreme coutr their intention of fight ing efforts being made by the state of Rhode Island to have the eighteenth federal constitutional amendment and the Volstead enforcement bill declar ed invalid. Representing the prohibi- ton sentiment of the country, MT. Hughes will meet before the supreme court the legal attacks being made by the wet forces against the amend ment and the enforcement bill.
 The first move by Mir. Hughes in the legal fight was to ask permis- sion of the supreme court to file a brief, in which he will set forth the contention of the prohibition states for the dismissal of the suits brought by Rhode Island. Backed by the wet forces all over the country, Rhode Is- lands suit will represent the con- certed action of the liquor forces to nullify the amendment and it's en- forcement bill.
 Arkansas and Kansas are among the prohibition states which Mr Hughes represents in the supreme court action
 Another move by the liquor forces today was to ask that the appeal brought from the supreme court of Kentucky, in which the validity of the amendment was upheld, be advanced on the calendar of the court.

HARbORS |NDORSED BY COMMUNITY CLUB Terminal Facilities on War rior River and Port of
 Mobile Discussed

Unanimous indorsement was given to the plan to improve port facilities of the state at the weekly meeting of the Community Club at the Southern Club yesterday. The question of ter minal facilities on the Warrior river and at Mobile was brought before the club by Murray Brown. chairman, and T. F. Hay. Jr., secretary of the state harbor commission.
 MT. Brown briefly explained the plan of the harbor commission to secure the adoption of an amendment to the con- sltution t the regular election in No- Nember permitting the state to pledge it's credit toward the development of port facilities. He stated that an edu- cational campaign would be carried on by moving pictures. charts and public lectures to secure the adoption of the amendment. The Community Club went on record in favor of the amendment and will raise funds to help secure its passage
 By the aid of charts MT. Hays showed the great advantage to be derived from the improvement of port conveniences on the Warrior river. He stated that this river is navigable the year round, as neither floods or cold weather inter feres. As Mobile is the port for all waterways of the state more public warehouses, elevators, cranes and oth- CT facilities are needed there, according to Mir. Hays.
 MT. Hays presented number of charts. all full fof informal ton and sta- tistics in reference to the waterways of the state He showed the advantage of cheap freight rates by river and referred to the fact that railroads are overcrowded with business at present
 He pointed out that the federal gov ernment has spent over s12,oo0, 900 to build seventeen locks on the Warrior river and that the state should fol- low it up by providing the proper terminal facilities. According to Mir Hays only the credit of the state would be pledged. The income from the in- vestment would soon pay the interest and principal of the amount invested.

Several sena- tors recalled in their speeches today how the Hyatt measure had been refer. red to the committee on insane asylums of which the author of the bill was chairman. But Senator Hyatt is not dis mayed. He took consolation from the fact. he said, that there had been suf ficient growth in sentiment favorable 10 equal suffrage to force the best eff forts of its opponents
 Senator Warren's move followed i'm mediately a tribute paid him by Sena- tor Scales, who. in summing up argu- ment for ratification. declared the op- position leader had conducted "the most determined fight against suffrage ever carried on in North Carolina"
 UNABLE TO STEM TIDE
 He was unaware that the new coup was coming and was unable to stem tn e tide when it rushed upon him.
 During the closing hours of the de- bate Senator Connor made vigorous appeal to the antis to compel consid- eration of the question by referendum The citizens of the state, he said. were the judges, and he pleaded against Overriding them on a question in which theT~ and they only should be con- serned." He argued also that the state constitution would be violated by rati- ffcation by the assembly and declared the governor would be forced to call another special session in event of ra.ication. in order to make the nec- essary changes in election laws so women could vote.
 He was challenged time and again by Senator Scales, who finally in- quired whether Connor desired the United States Ito stand with China and nations of Mohammedan religion" in denynig women the right to vote Sem ator Connor's charge that President Wilson has vacillated, and that he was elected on a platform in 1916 declaring for equal suffrage by states, was met by Senator Scales, who said:
 Tt is true that the President was elected on platform pledging woman suffrage through state action. But was not he also elected on a platform of peace?"
 Senator Warren was the only speak CT who defended the opposition mem bers for going contrary to the pledges of the democratic state platform. He declared the voters had repudiated the sunrage plank wherever they had had an opportunity to vote.
