b Aurora, ILL.,, May 16.,-The, demo

former United States Senator ].
Hamilton Lewis said in the course
of conversation with an Aurora

Personal liberty" he said, "will
be one OF the foremost issues in the
presidential campaign. The republi-
cans will try, to straddle by declar-
ing that they are for the constitu-
ton sf the United States. But the
voters won't be fooled. The demo-
cratic party believes that states that
want total prohibition should have
1t. Those that don't want it should
not be compelled to accept it."
Senator Lewis who has been en-
dorsed by democrats for vice presi-
dent said that Wilson will be the
democratic candidate for president
if the republicans insist on making
the league of nations the paramount
issue in the campaign
They will find that he is not the
feeble man they think" said the
senator. "but on the contrary will
discover he has the same great in
tellect and force OF character with
which thev have so often COPIED un-
successfully.
"'As the campaign goes on. it will
become more and more evident that
the democratic party as always is
making the fight for the people as

The conference report already has
been approved by the Senate where
not word of comment was made
on the floor relative to the new mat
ter put in by the conferees, who
consisted of members OF the foreign
relations committee of the senate
and the foreign affairs committee Of
the house.
Hard on the Irish.
Representative SABBATH in de-
nouncing the measure declared that
under its provisions it would be
impossible for Irish subjects Of
Great Britain who were political Of
tenders to come to the United
States. Under the requirement that
no aliens may come into the United
States except with passport
vised by an American consul, Mr..
SABBATH declared that an lrishman
who had committed any sort of an
offense would be unable to obtain
Z passport to leave the country from
the British government, step
which would be necessary before
an American consul could wise it.
Besides making permanent the
wartime provision prohibiting the
entry of aliens except from Canada
and other adjacent countries, with
oct a passpc.. vised by an Ameri-
can consul, section is included re-
quiring passports for Americans dE
string to leave the United, Stfes.
The present wartime restriction
under law passed a few months
ago were extended to March. 1927,
by which it was expected that per-
manent immigration legislation
would be passed. Representative
Siegel took exception also to new
provision repeating an act which
authorized the secretary of state to
issue passports to declarants of citi-

Washington, May 1e.-Far-reach-
ing legislation making permanent
wartime passport regulations,

committee ,on immigration and
which had not been even discussed
in either house in connection with

Representative Siegel made a
point of order against the section of
the conference report embodying
new passports restrictions on the
ground that no similar provision
was included in the ball as passed by
either house. After lengthy dis
cussion Speaker Gillett overruled
the point of order on the ground
that the section in question was in

added an amendment relating tc fees

audience OF nearly 500 at the Labor

Mr.. Barber represents the 1nterna

that while spirit writing and COM
munication is possible, it is not the
dead friends of the subject that
communicate.
He says that clergymen and
others who maintain that the dead
are in heaven are wrong and that
Christian Scientists, Mormons, ETC.,
are moved by evil spirits.
When asked upon what do you
base your assertion that the world
will end in 1926" he said that he
could give no answer that the people
could underestimate would take
several volumes to- explain in writ
ing.
All of the great denominations of
the present day church misinterpret

There is no abode of departed

are dead, because of Adams sin, are
dust

MUCH EVIDENCE
IN BOOZE CASES
CANNOT. BE FOUND
Stocks Valued at Over Half
Million Disappears From
Bonded Warehouses.

Chicago. May 16-sThe evidence
worth 100000, upon which the gov
ernment agents had built their, hopes
of numerous convictions in illicit
liquor operations, has mysteriously
disappeared. The confscated booze.
stocks secured in raids between July
II and January 10, and stored in
the Sibley warehouse, has gone away
from there and lett no trace.
This is a bonded warehouse and
supposed to be surrounded by all
the safeguards the government
thought necessary. 1t had been
noticed that when case came to
trial, the particular liquor seized in
that case was missing. Now the
entire stock is gone and. with the
hands of Major Dalrymple ands his
assistants firmly tied by of6rs from
Washington, thereyis slim chance to
secure any new evidence.
A force of auditors went to the
warehouse to check up the con-
iscated stocks, but there was
nothing to check up.
Smugghng away this immense
quantity of liquor could not have
been accomplished without some in
side help and an omineus shadow
of suspicion is failing upon
former high internal revenue Of
ficials. Auditors find the records in
complete, no receipts for liquor
WITHDRAWN and loose methods gem
erally in the conduct Of officials who
were being paid by the government
to guard the liquor. Disappearance
of the evidence means the govern
ment suits against several persons
for violation of the, prohibition law
fall fiat. These suits would have hit
some very prominent wholesalers
and big cafe proprietors and the
cases against them were practically
perfect until the government lost the
evidence.

RUSSIANS AGAIN
IN CONTROL OF

More Conci|iatory Actions by
Japanese Toward Siberians
Reported During'Last
Few Days.
\ BY FRAZIER HUNT.

Harbin, May l6.-More concilia-
tory actions by the. Japanese toward
the Siberians have been evident in
the last few days.
The railroad from V1adivostok to
Nickolsk, which had been operated
by the Japanese for IS days, since
they took Vladivostok on April S,
was returned to Russian control.
Russian railroad men returned to
work on the line and regular train
service was resumed.
The Japanese, however, are in a
position to retake the road at any
time and resume its operation for
military purposes when they see fit.
The Siberian troops either have been
disarmed or have fed to the hills.
In the Vladivostok- -Nickolsk district
there are about 10000 Russian red
troops and about $4,000 Japanese
who are being reinforced from time
to time.
AS long as the Moscow govern
ment refuses to fight the Japanese,
the Sibcrians have to do as they are
told, as Japan dominates the situa-
ton.
The Japanese, however, also have
the Urusult river to Russian con-
troll and General Moy, commanding
Vladivostok, has issued procla-
nation predicting withdrawal of the
japanese military forces. The Rus
slams, howevef, put little faith in
these Japanese promises which are
contingent on the cessation of hos
tilities in the transbaikal region.
While the Japanese proclamation
is regarded by the Russians in
dicating a less belligerent attitude
when combined with the return of
the railroads and the slackening of
the movement of Japanese troops
into Siberia, the Russians, are in
doubt. They recall that in spite of
assurances the japanese suddenly
seized Vladivostok and other Siber-
ian cities and disarmed Russian
troops.
