COLER ATTACKS <. :: DRY OFFICIALS
 IN AN ADDRESS
Declares Prohibition Enforce. ment Officers Not Doing
 Their Duty

Washington, Sept. 23.-Prohibition enforcement officials, the New York branch of the Anti-Saloon League and it's superintendent, William S. Anderson, shared alike a vitrolic at tack made today by Bird s. Coler New York commissioner of public welfare, in a speech before the in- ternational congress against alcohol ism.
 MT. Coler's prepared address, al- though censored by the officials of the congress, to eliminate personali- ties, charged "open violation" of pro- hibition laws and accused MT. Ander- son of attempting to incite race and religious hatred.
 Prohibition Commissioner Kramer also on the program, answered the attack on his bureau personally and MT. Anderson, who was absent, re- piled in formal statement in which he accused MT. Coler of injecting "Tammany politics" into an interna- tional meeting.
 Replying to Mir. Coler's charges of violation of the prohibition laws, MT, Kramer said that "to certain extent they were true," but he insisted that the New York commissioner should provide "bill of particulars" in or der that the small force of the bu- reau might know where to go on the trail of the bootleggers. He told the congress he was doing his "level best" to enforce the laws and ex- plained that his force numbered only ,00O, adding "think of that number policing 111O,0oO,ooo people for that is what it is policing"
 Attacks Dry Workers
 After officials of the congress had declined to permit that part of his speech referring to Mr. Anderson, MT Coler explained as a preface to his speech that when he reached the hall where the sessions of the congress are being held he was informed by Chairman Dinwiddie that he would not be permitted to deal with person alities but that the remainder of the speech should be delivered. Launching in his speech MT. Colel levelled a bitter attack on the mas. of dry workers, particularly those associated with the Anti-Saloor League, saying they were "bucl passers" and had not forced the can sdidates of either of the major parties to take definite stand as to reten ton and enforcement of the prohibit ion laws.
 As for federal enforcement of pro hibition, the speaker demanded tha "something be done right now l There was no reason for quibbling ho added because "everybody know liquor can be bought at most place and at most any time if you've go the right look in your eyes,"

 With Ceremony

Versailles, Sept. 23.-Alexander Millerand was invested with the executive powers of the eleventh president of the third republic today before the assembled Versailles con gress, ten minutes after Leon Bour- geois, president of the senate, had proclaimed him elected, without the usual formalities of receiving the powers from the hands of the retir- ing president at Elysee Palace.
 The illness of M. Deschanel, the former president, made impossible the customary ceremony at Paris, but Millerand received the greatest ovation at Versailles ever given a president.

"The build- ing l was in is on Broadway, just around the corner from the scene of the explosion. By the time l could descend in the elevator, and reach Wall street, that street was dense with people. Half were go- Ing toward the scene and the other half away from it. They were wild. There were scenes of panic-like con- fusion for few minutes, but the police quickly assumed command.
 Watches Confusion.
 MT. Couch ascended to the offices of friend in Wall street, and wit messed the scenes following the ex- plosion. "The bodies of those kill- ed by the blast were lying about the street, and in the center was the body of the horse that had pulled the wagon in which it is believed the explosive was hauled"
 MT. Couch tells of the experience of friend who had accompanied him to New York. He's a great, big man," explained the local utilities head, "and he was in an office very near the scene. He says he rushed up a few moments after the explo- sion, and with hundreds of others, was gazing awe-stricken at the aw- full picture, when some one yelled Look out!

COX WILL IGNORE
 PROPOSALS MADE
 BY PH0H!B PARTY
Democratic Nominee Tells of Offers Made Him by
 Watkins
REITERATES STAND
 ON DRY QUESTION
Declares Western People With Him On League Issue and Adds They Cannot be
 Bought

Albuquerque, N. M, Sept. 2S.- Governor Cox, democratic presiden- tial candidate will ignore proposals from the prohibition party for re- tirement of Aaron s. Watkins, pres idential candidate of the Prohibition party from the race. Watkins said 1 he would quit if the goveror would pledged himself to certain measures regarding the Volstead law. Gov ernor Cox gave this announcement upon his arrival here tonight. It was understood that similar pro posal was made to Senator Harding the Republican nominee.
 The Prohibition party's proposal Governor Cox stated, came in a let ter about two weeks ago from Vir- gil G. Henshaw, who said he had acted officially.
 1 The letter was in the nature of a questionaire regarding action upon the Volstead law and other prohibi- tlon questions, MT. Hinshaw, it is said, expressed "confidence" that MT. Watkins would retire from the presidential arena should Governor Cox reply favorably to the question aire. No reply will be made. Gov. ernor Cox has declined to comment on similar offer by MT. Watkins.
 His position on the League of Ma. tions was defined in further detail by Governor Cox of Ohio, Democratic presidential candidate, in an address here tonight to large audience al the armory.
 Depends On Senate.
 q have no doubt that Republican and Democratic senators alike vii loyalty fulfill the peoples mandate which election will signify. 1 shal endeavor to meet all reasonable de sires for proper reservations whicI are offered in sincerity and not mere ly presented as trumpted up for DO litical purposes. My heart is in thi. fight and I will put forth all effor and make any reasonable concession, to win it that we may secure member ship in the league for America" h, said.
 To local newspapers question ol prohibition, Governos Cox also re prohibition his position, stating:
 "No liquor organization had eve donated dollar to any of my cam paigns to my knowledge; nor hay, l ever owned share of stock in an, brewery. I suggest that this ques tion be asked of the reactionary can didate. The 18th amendment is par of the constitution. The presiden takes an oath to uphold the consti tuition and the law. l will not violat my oath of office, but will enforc the law" Governor Cox said in conclusion q am going back after visiting th west, carrying this assurance t, friends and foes-the west is aripe the west is alert and the west i with me in my fight for the peace o the world and the progress and peac , of our land-and the west cannot b bought"

Tells of Battle

New Orleans, Sept Bringing a tale of a four days fight with the tropical hurricane in the gulf of Mexico, the first part of the week, the Cuyamel fruit company's steam CT Omoa, carrying passengers and cargo arrived in New Orleans late today.
 The Omoa, which flies the flag of Honduras, is of 1,094 net tons and left Port Cortez, Honduras, with twenty passengers and full cargo of fruit last Saturday. According to the story of Captain Wermund Haupen, the vessel had no warning of a tropical disturbance and the weather seemed fair for a quick run to New Orleans.
 Sunday, according to the captain, the wind freshened, light rain came up and the barometer started falling. The ship continued on her course and by Monday morning the waves were breaking over the decks The engine room was flooded and the pumps were started. The wind continued to increase until it reach ed velocity of 75 miles an hour and the seas were breaking over the steamer. State rooms were flooded and the captain says his room was swept clear of everything.
 Pumps Clogged
 One of the pumps became clogged shortly after noon Tuesday and il was necessary to stop the engines in order to clear it. When the pump was finally cleared there was foui feet of water in the engine room. Ii took three hours after the water was pumped out to get up head oi steam sufficient to move the en- zines.
 "It was trying experience" said Captain Haupen, "for seafaring men to say nothing of the passengers. We could prepare nothing to eat and re one wanted to sleep. We arrived off the mouth of the Mississippi Wed. nesday morning but the rain was falling so heavily that we could not navigate the passes and so cruisec around in the gulf until night. Ths wind was still blowing but had mod erated greatly"
