RENO, NeY., Sept. 16.-A statement that he would make any reasonable concession to secure American mem bership in the league of nations was made by Governor Cox of Ohio, Demo cratic presidential candidate here to- night at the close cf his Nevada cam paign.

The governor announced that he would .endeavor to meet all reasonable desires for proper reserva- tiOns which are offered in sincerity"
 The governors telegram to Professor Fisher, who is working for ratification of the treaty of Versailles, was evoked by statement of former President Taft, it was announced that Governor Cox's election would mean an un- yielding and uncompromising attitude on the league"

DRY COMMISSIONER SAYS ENF FORCEMENT
 MACHINERY IS WEAK
LRepuhlican A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON. Sept 16.-Declara- tion was made today by Prohibition Commissioner Kramer that dry law enforcement machinery is inadequate. Coupled with this was a statement by the Anti Saloon league that the na- tion is confronted by a gigantic and vicious conspiracy to discredit and ul- timately overthrow prohibition
 MT. Kramer in addressing the league conference. added that in numerous communities prohibition cases were being dragged into federal courts at rate of 10 to 20 a week. The result, he said. is damned court dOCkets and de lay in the trial of dry law violators-
 The Anti-Saloon league embodied it's conspiracy charges in d resolution which served notice that it would at tempt removal of public officials dere lict in prohibition enforcement. At the same time officials Of the league made public a partial list of candidates for congress whom it will seek to defeat because of their position on prohibi- tion.
 MT Kramer frankly told the confer enc that his agency in addition to be- ing confronted with a shortage Of per sonnel. had within it men who were not straight"
 While the conference gave MT. Kra- mer's organization vote of confidence and pledge of support, speakers as serted this stand would not soften condemnation of officials of whatever rank who did not observe the letter of the law in searching out liquor law vio- latOrs
 The resolution also called upon con Cress to adopt some standard for good behavior by defining miscon- duet" for which appointees, such as federal judges. might he removed from office. The present laws make impeachment difficult and impractical the resolution said.
 The league will support Senator Watson, Republican, against Thomas TagEart. Democrat. in thu Indiana senatorial contest. and Frank B. Willis Republican. in the Ohio senatorial race. Included among the present members of the house selected by the league as the object of its attack the list showed Representative Porter Pennsylyania.
 Wayne E. Wheeler general counsel for the league. told the conference that dry workers would not know defi- nitely the names of all candidates on it's '.black lists and white lists until all primaries have been held. He eN- pIained the league would enter no local fight except where records of the can didatcs show the prohibition question to he an issue.

 The explosion threw the conference upstairs into disorder" MT. Lamor. said. We were jared by the concus- sion and rather e&citedly ran down to the main floor where the most confu- sion prevailed. There were about 50 employees who were more or less m jured and those clerks who had mirac- ulously escaped injury from falling de- bris were ourageously devoting their attention to assisting those who were less fortunate.
 ''One of our valued employees. Will ian Joyce was killed. He was the son Of Thomas W. Joyce, who has been iu our employ 90 years and who was him self badly hurt. All our large windows on the first floor and some on the sec end floor were blown in. The office will be ready for business tomorrow morning
 There were between 400 and 500 erl- pIoyes in the Morgan building at the time of the accident.
 Says Warning Was Received
 A letter giving warning of today's explosion was dropped Wednesday morning through the mail slot Of a door in one Of the offices Of the French high commission at 65 Broadway it became known tonight This letter apparent ly written by q man formerly iu the employ of the commission. was torn into small pieces soon after it was rcad and dropped into waste basket
 Today. after the explosion these bits of paper were taken from the basket. pasted together and turned over to che police. The letter which was addressed to Lieutenant Aruaud, who is attached to the commission, began with the word: Greeting" The writer said he thought he was rendering a service to the French commission by advisinc Maurice Casenave, minister plenipo- tentiary, and his assistants of the f2cr that a catastrophe would occur in Wall street about 2:30 o'clock. No date was mentioned.
 French Mission Warned
 The writer suggested that Lieutenant Arnaud advise Minister CasendFe t0 have the offices of the commission closed and unOccupied at 2 o'clock so that the lives of the office staff might be spared. The letter also mentioned between 9 and 1 o'clock daylight rlme' as the probable hour for the calas- trophe.
 It was fntimated in tho letter taa some people had grievances and want ed tO take revenge" Lieutenant Ar maud read the letter several times. Feeling assured that it had been yy5-it- ten by an alarmist and should not he taken seriously, he tore it up aud threw it in a waste basket. He gave no further thought to the letter untl after the explosion today when Ne rushed into the office, emptIed he contents of the basket in a heap on bis desk sorted the bits of the lrttC-. pieced them together and turned them over to the police.

per cent, making no exception. Ow-
ing to an act passed by the General
Assembly in 1919 known as Act
185 whereby the statutory rates
were fixed on material suitable for
road building such as crushed stone,
sand and gravel. The Arkansas Cor
poration Commission granted the
advance asked for by the railroads
on all other classes and commodi-
ties than road building material,
ruling that they have no jurisdiction
and could not make any order as
the statute controls the rate and
that they had no power over rates,
rules or regulations when fixed by
state statutes. The carriers in an
anticipation of such decision by
the Arkansas Corporation Commits
sion had some time previous to fill
ing their petition made application
to the United States District Court
for an injunction restraining the
state and the Corporation Commits
sion from putting into effect and
applying rates as fixed by Act 1875.
Attorneys representing the road
commissioners appeared before the
court on August rs, and a tempo
rary restraining order was issued
effective August 81. Such tenn
porary restraining order, subject of
course, before being made perma-
nent, to future hearings where the
case will be gone into on it's own
merits.
Prior to June 25, 1918, the fol-
lowing rates were in effect:
For distance of 25 miles and less,
2 cents per 100 pounds.
Over % miles and including so
miles, SOC per ton.
Over so mise to and including rs
miles, 60c per ton.
Over rs miles to and including
100 miles, zoe per ton.
From 100 to and including $50
miles, SOC per ton.
On June rs, 1918, by presiden-
tial order, these rates were increas-
ed to zoe per ton on the haul. Act
1856, rates were the same for dis
lance up to $50 miles as those in
effect prior to June 25, 1918. The
rates requested by the carriers to
become effective September /, were
as follows:
Twenty-Five miles and under, soc
per ton.
Over % miles, to and including
so miles, 90c per ton.

Officials connected with the pro-

the kitchen still is one of the great
est menaces in the country today
in the realization of the National
Prohibition Amendment. 1t is said
that the condition is no worse in
Arkansas than in many other states,
but that it is serious enough here
to warrant great concern on the
part of the authorities. 1t is said
that in many localities the local
plumbers devote practically their
entire time to the manufacture OF
private tanks in the kitchen and
cellars of bibulous persons, who
imagine that they must have that
which the law has pronounced I'M

coil out of patent heater is enough
to furnish the ordinary drinker with
enough poison to kill regiment.
