PROHIBITIONISTS AIDED
 UNDERWOOD IN FIGHT

Washington, April 24.-(Special) The professional political prohibition ist who makes his headquarters in Washington is not devoted to Senator Underwood of Alabama, neither is William J. Bryan that apostle of peace in time of war.
 And yet, the professional political prohibitionist in Washington made reasonably certain the election of Senator Underwood as minority leader of the Senate next Tuesday. And. in adding to his majority, William Jen- nings Bryan, by -ipdirection, plays a conspicuous part. Senator Hitchcock has retired from the race, leaving a clear field to the Alabama senator. When the democrats caucused for tn election of leader, Senator Un- derwood and Senator Hitchcock en- tered into an unbreakable tie--23 to 23-7an unbreakable tie because Sena- tor Smith of Georgia sat through all the excitement without expressing his choice.
 Since that time Senator Sheppard of Texas, who supported Hitchcock, an nounced that he would not support him in the next caucus. For the profess sonar political prohibitionist of Wash ington said that Senator Hitchcock S stand for the legal manufacture and sale of light wines and beers should

crats win, there is grave fear that Mir. Bryan would bolt the party and become. the candidate of another or ganization the precepts of which are more to his liking.
 MT. Bryan contends that inasmuch as prohibition is in the constitution of the United States. all parties. ami mated by patriotism. should express formally in their platforms the fact that prohibition is settled as definitely IS slavery, Should the parties take such action. the liberal east, it is said, would have no reason to support the democratic party.
 Those opposed to MT. Bryan contend that for two reasons the democra fc party should take some action critical os prohibition. The first reason. ac- cording to this contention. is that pro- hibition restricts personal liberty. and violates the doctrine of state rights. m which the government was founded. The second reason Is one of strategy or expediency. It is believed by the liberals that the democratic partys one chance to carry the election lies in a declaration antagonistic to pro- hibitIon as 1t obtains today. It is pointed out that the south will sup rort the ticket irrespective of the con tents of the platform and that with a liberal platform the democrats would carry New York. New Jersey Maryland Ohio. California, and pos sibly Indiana and Illinois.
 At any rate. the election of Bryan means a rip-roaring convention with sensational features approximatng those which made Baltimore in 1912 epochal.

INVESTIGATING REPORT Q
 OF IRISH REBELLION

Washington, April (Special0 An Irish rebellion in Canada Egypt. India and Ireland in June this year is rumored. Great Britain has investi- gated and is stir Investigating the rumor. By Ireland, the rumor.-is de- nied.
 The state department in Washington has investigated, for it is said that the rebellion is fomentipg in New York headquarters The English ein bassy in Washington is al work en- deavorlng' to trace the rumor.
 Up to the present time the develop ments do not uphold the runior as. far as discriminating Ireland. Great Britain has reached conclusions that in Egypt and India. the bolsheviN of Russia
 bent on destroying all government, will endeavor to precipitate a revolu- tion. Great Britain it is said in Wash | ington does not hold those at the bot tom of the plotting of sufficient in- tegrity to warrant Ireland In entrust- ing them with Sim Fein funds raised in the United States.
 1nasmuch, however, as the anarch- ists have proved that they will aligr themselves. with any faction in hope of strengthening their own cause. the British government is keeping an eye on the Emerald Isle. In the United States The Russian anarchists have worked hand in hand with radical la Dor leaders to destroy the govern | ment--a fact brought to light in re cent strikes of steel workers, mine workers and trainmen.
 In other countries they are expected to work with the discontented and de- luded whoever they may be, or what ever their purpose or politics.

 Washington. April 24.-(Special)- Democrats are preparing for the storm In the San Francisco convention which cannot be avoided. William Jennings Bryan managed to win credentials in. the recent Nebraska primary and will attend the convention as a delegate.
 H will lead the opposition to Presi dent Wilson in respect to the adminis- srations desire that the democratic platform contain a plank indorsing the League of Nations with explana- tory reservations as against nullify ing reservations. He will lead the opposition to the p'an of eastern democrats to write in the platform a reiteration of the doctrine of state rights. which, literally construed, would commit the democratic party to policy whereby each state, by desir- able legislation, could enforce the eighteenth amendment to the consti- tuition.
 There is no question on the part of democrats in Washington but that MT. Bryan will have power to disturb and possibly to disrupt. It was the hope of leading democrats here that the Nebraskan would be beaten for cleo ton, as he was beaten four years ago. It is now their hope that affairs will so shape themselves that out of the convention the party may come ruff fled but united still. They fear, how ever. another fate.
 When the news came that MT. Bryan had acquired commission as a dele gate. the democracy of New Jersey, pledged to Governor Edwards and de- tcrmined to write in the platform a liberal plank, announced that 1t &C., ccpted the challenge of MT. Bryan. Should the so-callef wet" demo-

 And Senator owen of Oklahoma had said that he would not support Hitch cock in the next caucus: He gave no reason. But 1t is believed that he was moved by the fact that William J. Bryan had indorsed his candidacy for the presidency and Senator Hitchcock has recently completed a campaign in Nebraska in which he locked horns with Bryan and of Bryan spoke his mind very freely.
 As previously reported. Senator Un- derwood believed that Senator Smith of Georgia would support him in the next caucus. It is said that Senator Smith recently made statement to such effect to his friends in Georgia. At any rate. Hitchcock saw fit to retire and Underwood's selection is now as sured.

BRING FORTH NEW AUSTRIAN
 TRADE DOLLAR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (by Asso- ciated Press).-A new silver trade dol lar expected to replace the Austrian coin throughout the Red sea conner cial district has been put into circu- lation in Eritrea by Italy, according to an announcement by the Italian en- bassy.
 Besides Eritrea, the Red sea district includes Abyssinia, French, British and Italian Somalilands, Socatra, Ma kalla, Eden protectorate and the Ara bian Red sea provinces of Yemen, Asir and Hejez. Primarily the new Ital- ian coin is for Eritrea, but it's more extensive use is predicted by the Ital- ian officials. Italian money is the legal circulating medium in Eritrea, and the new dollar will be used sole 1y as a trade dollar. The Maria Theresa dollar of Austria, which has been the trade coin of the Red sea district, was solely a trade dollar, and was not issued for governmental use.
