too big physically for the leaders in

URGES MORAL SUPPORT.
Commissioner Haynes Says People
Should Back Dry Law.

Encouragement and support Of the
men who are enforcing the prohibit
tion law not only in the form of
public or private utterances, but by
acting as witnesses Of the govern

ing courts to give the officials moral
support in the law enforcement, was
urged by Prohibition Commissioners
Haynes in an address at the Church
Of Covenant yesterday before dele
gates of the Anti-Saloon League con-
vention.
The apathetic American, to a GER
tain extent, was blamed by the Com
missioner as a force preventing a
better articulation Of the law. Some
seem to have the opinion" he said,
"that the government is not serious.
that the law is q joke and that people
prefer q laugh to a law. It is
strange sense Of humor when we
laugh at the Constitution"
Silence on the part Of 'the great
law abiding and law.upholding ma
jority Of our people," Mr.. Haynes de.
clared, was sometimes misinterpreted
by newspapermen and public ofncials
as either dfsinterestedness or disap-
proval Of the law.

RUSSIAN RELIEF ASKED.

OXFORD, England. December A.
Addressing a public meeting here to-
night in support Of the Russian
famine fund. Leonid Krassin. the
bolshevik minister Of trade and COM
merce. maintained that the interests
of the entire world demanded the
raising Of an international fund for
Russian relief. The governments Of
Europe and America, he added, had
refused to recognise the soviet gov
ernment, their refusal virtually
amounting to a continuation of the
policy OF Intervention ana oiockade'
making relief impossible.
The absence Of q stable peace with
the entente governments. said NJ
Krassin, compelled Russia to main
tain q considerable army and to ex-
pend money on food and be ready At
any moment to repel new attacks.
This fact hindered the Russian peo-
ple from properly devottng them
selves to the cultivation Of the land
and the production Of raw materials.

Attorneys Seek to Quash In
dictments on Flaws in
Grand Jury Selection.

By the Associated Press.
WAUKEGAN, Ill, December 5.-Gov.
Len Small today made his first ap-
pearance in court since his indict-
ment last July when the case involv-
ing charges against him of embezxle-
ment and conspiracy to defraud the
state was called before Judge Claire
c. Edwards.
Arguments on a motion to Quash
the case are expected before he is to
be formally arraigned and asked to
plead guilty" or mot guilty"
The arguments to be advanced by
the defense, as given out by the gov
ernor's attorneys, are that there were
technical flaws in the fmpaneling Of
the grand jury which indicted him,
and that, therefore, the indictments
are faulty.
Vernon Curtis. a banker Of Grant
Park, ILL.,, indicted with Gov. Small on
the same charges, and who will be
arraigned later, is understood to have
the same defense.
The seat of the state government
temporarily has been moved to Wau-
keEan, where headquarters have been
established in the Salvation Army Ho-
tel, Accompanying the governor are
his son. his private secretary and sew
eral attaches from Springfield.
