CAPPER PLANS BILL TO ST UP ALI. GAMBLING
 ON EXCHANGES
Measure To Be Introduced In Congress Would Put
 Stop To Speculation
APPLIES TO COTTON
Kansas Legislators Claim Present Wheat Decline
 Is Due To Gambling

WARRINGTON. April s.-An anti grain gambling bill will be intrduced in the new senate by Senator Capper and Representative Tincher. both of Kansas. The measure. Senator Cap per announced today, will be similar 10 the bin which failed in the Hast congress but will have a few amend ment designed to meet objections to the former bill and which. he said, would not penalize legitimate specu- lation or hedging" The new bill also will apply to cotton.
 '-As revised" Senator Capper said. "the bill, I believe, meets the approv- al of the legitimate grain and milling interests. It has the approval of all the great farm organizations. It will not win the approval of the grain gamblers. for its chief purpose is elimination Of the gamblers
 The revised bill, according to the senator, would place grain exchanges under the bureau of markets. with authority to confine speculation in grain to regular boards of trade. This. he said. twill end the activities of the private wire houses where 95 per cent of the real gambling is done.'
 The bill would require publicity for all future grain transactions and would require cancellation of boards of trade permits if they should not prescribe rules to prevent gambling.
 Declaring that the decline of 40 cents. in the price of wheat in three weeks was due to gambling and arti- ficial manipulation of bear specula- tors at Chicago, he said:
 Fifteen billion dollars are wagered annually in future dealings in Chica- go and the commissions of brokers are three times as great as the earn ings of the bankers at Monte Carlo"

GREEKS CERTAIN I|NG I TURkS IN ASIA MlN0R
Athens Says Recent Defeat Caused By Aid Of Italy
 Given To Turks

ATHENS, April 9.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) s)-Greeks express confi- dence that they can yet beat the Turks in Asia Minor, notwithstanding the serious Greek losses before Eski- Shehr. Endorsements are being sent. King Constantine is said to be anxious to go to the front, but opin- ion as to this is divided. particularly as his health is not of the best.
 The people are hoping that re- newal of the offensive on large scale will succeed.
 Realization that. the country has not obtained a foreign loan is caus- ing many patriotic Greeks to consider pledging their fortunes. some women are even discussing pledgipg their jewels.
 Officials attribute the unexpected Turkish resistance on the Brussa sec. tor to the arrival of endorsements and to aid from the Italians. They assert that the Greek retreat was a mere war episode.
 The opposition is less optimistic than the government. saying the Greek losses indicate the Brussa events were more important than rep resented. and that Greece has not re alized she is now fighting not only the Kemalists. but all of Turkey, ~se cretly aided by the Italians

out and mail in this certificate, but
If they do they are entitled to q re.

PLENTY BEER
GOES Gl|MMER|VC
CONGRESS PUTS BAN ON MEDIC
NAL BEER AND LIGHT
WINES.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The final
legislative step for the outlawing of
beer and wine for other than sac
ramental purposes was taken today
by the senate.
BY a vote of Sc to 22, the senate
adopted the conference report on the
so called anti-beer bill and the meas
ure now goes to the president, the
house having acted some time ago.
Twelve republicans and ten demo-
Gratis voted against the conference
report.
The republican opponents were
Senators Brandegee, Du Pont, Edge,
johnson, LaFollette. Lodge, Mclean,
Penrose, Phipps, Shortridge, Wads-
worth and Weller. The democrats
were Senator's Broussard, Gerry,
King, Pomerene., Ransdell, Shields,
Stanley, Underwood. Walsh, Massa-
chusetts; and Watson, Georgia.
Two others. Senators Reed, dem
ocrat, Missouri, and Moses, repub'i-
can, New Hampshire, were paired
against the bill.
Thirty-three republicans and twen-
ty-three democrats supported the
measure.
The bill will set aside the ruling
by former Attorney General Palmer
who two days before he retired ada
vised. the prohibition enforcement Of
ficials that there was nothing in the
Volstead act to prohibit the prescrip-
tion of beer and light wines for me-
dicinal purposes.
The legislation has been before
congress since last June. The house
accepted the compromise reached Dy
the conferees in August but there
followed a bitter controversy in the
senate waged by small but deter
mined group who contended that the
bill struck a fatal blow at personal
rights because it permitted search
and seizure without warrants. The
first draft of the measure authorized
| the search of private homes without
warrants but this feature was elm
mated in conference.
The bill limits physicians to l0O
prescriptions for liquor each three
months and specifies that not more
than quart of spurious or vinous
liquors containing in the aggregate
not more than one-half pint OF alco-
hol may be prescribed for one person
| in ten days. Importation OF liquors
| is barred by the bill until the supply
on hand in the United States shall
no longer be sufficient to meet the
current need for non-beverage uses.
