Drys Afraid Of
Wet Trap for Lands
Judges Enforcement of Volstead Act
Brings Enemies; Brothers Fight
Recalled
(By a Special Correspondent

Washington, Feb. 16.-Dry mem
bers OF Congress-and they are large
majority of both the present body and
the next-howevcr they may feel on
the apparent issues in the fight now
being waged on Federal Judge Lands
of Chicago, are wary about getting
involved in the row.
They see i'll it trap in which the
friends of the liquor interests would
like to catch them and at the same
time discredit Judge Lands, who is
regarded here as the first judge in the
country to enforce the Volstead Act
with all its teeth.
Prison Terms Will Dry Up Country
A few long prison terms of the
Lands variety for fragrant violations
of the National Prohibition law will
make the country dry in fact as well
as theory" the drys believe. By a
Representative Volstead,
chairman of the committee that has
the Lands impeachment charge on its
is the author of the dry law.
If the fight is pressed to finish, as
now seems unlikely, it will probably
result in a square lineup of the vets
and the drys in Congress, in which

Judge Lands can be easily foreseen.
For this reason it is believed the
men VINO would like to get" Judge
Lands. will be ready to sidetracl< the
whole thing before it comes to an
actual showdown in either House.
Lands Brother Shuts Capitol Bars
This is not the first time that the
Lands family has. clashed with old
John sarleycorn and his followers
1t is Yeoalled in this connection that
it was brother ofsthc Judge, Charles

Ninth Indiana district from 1907 to
1900, who secured the passage OF the
bill closing up the two bars that from
time immemorial had dispensed drinks
in the capitol, one in the Senate end
OF the building. the other for the
House.
Although never posing as re
former or a total abstainer, and hail
ing from the little town OF Delphi
Ind, whose 1000 inhabitants iur-
nished ample business for its dozen
or more saloons, Lands was inn
pressed from the first with the idea
that this open liquor selling under the
roof OF the building that sheltered the
Congress OF the United States was
wrong. There was no camouhage
about these bars and anyone mem-
Der OF Congress, clerk, page or visitor
could get any liquor known to man
by simply calling for it and laying
down the price.
Laughed at by Gear" Reed
Many scandals had resulted from
this liquor selling in thc capitol, but
no one had made a move to stop it.
Lands thought much about it and
one day went to Speaker Reed with
the problem.
why, my dear sir" and the car"
(himself from Prohibition Maine), "the
things impossible. Such a PROPOSE
ton would be hooted out OF Con-
gress. You would only make your
self laughingstock by bringing it
up"
SO the matter was allowed to rest
for the time, but for several years
Lands kept it i'll his mind. One day
he wrote out resolution covering the
case and put it in his pocket to await
a favorable opportunity.
This was two years in rolling
around. Finally, in 1904, it came with
bill revising the immigration laws.
When this was introduced it was
found to contain clause legalizing
the setting TIP of bar on Ellis Island
where the immigrant could quench
his thirst the moment he set foot on
the soil OF America.
Lands rose to protest against this
clause, and in speaking against it said,
"If | had my way, not drop of liq-
uor should be sold in any spot directly
under control of the federal govern
ment"
Falls Into Landis' Trap
The sponsor for the bill, who was
large owner OF brewery stock, de-
Tended the measure and said, "If the
- r
strongly about it, l wonder that he
does not begin nearer home. Why
doesn't he move to shut the bars in
this very building where we are now
talkingi"
Here was the opportunity at last
and Lands drew from his pocket the
resolution he had written two years

Senate Passes Bill

That Afternoon the Senate commit
tee was hastily called together, the
Lands amendment was restored and
the bill was reported and passed. But
alas for Fairbanks hopes, Tor he never
attained the goal he had sought so
long. The bars in the capitol build
ing, however, were shut tight and they
have never been re-opened.
By his activity in this matter, Con-
gresham Lands incurred the lasting
enmty OF the liquor interests. They
poured money into his district to beat
him in the next election. He was
strong at home and pulled through.
But his foes organized the district
we'll against him and in the fall of
1908 he was defeated.
And so it is that the Lands family
is not new in the fighting with John
Barleycorn. But old John has lost
his punch since the day when he
knocked the wind out of the Con-
gresham from the Ninth Indiana dis
trict, and friends of Judge Lands de-
clare he has nothing to fear.

before. "N ell, said he. I'll do
that" and sent TO the clerk to be read
the resolution which he offered as an
amendment to the immigration bill,
prohibiting the sale OF liquor in any
form in the capitol building.
There was hasty consultation
among the members Many didn't
want it to come 10 vote because they
didn't want to go on record.
But after an hours debate the ques-
ton was put and the amendment was
adopted by large majority. |. now
had TO go to the Senate and it stayed
there for weeks, consigned to pigeon
hole in the room OF the committee oa
immigration. OF which Senator Charles
W. Fairbanks OF Indiana. later vice
president. was chairman.
One evening a newspaper friend
called up Congressman Lands and
asked ii he knew that the immigration
bill with his little amendment about
the capitol bar lett out was slated to
be reported to the Senate and pass
next day
Lands thought about it overnight
and decided to visit his old neiehbor
from lnd ana in the morning.
Argument That Got Fairbanks
They had a nice long @homey9 chat
together; talked about the crops cut
in Indiana and about mutual friends
in the Hoosier state. Finally as Ian
dis rose to GO, Senator Fairbanks said
"Oh, by the way Charles. your little
amendment 70 the immigration bill
We had to drop it. I'm sorry. be-
cause know YOU were interested i'll
it, but it didn't really belong there,
you know. Try it some other way
"Oh, that's all right, Senator said
Lands "Of course your Judgment
is best about such things and I'm will
ing to do just as you say about it
But as lie reached the door he
paused as ii thought had suddenly
come to him.
Heres just au idea that comes TO
me. Senator he said, looking Fair
banks in the eye. Suppose the bill
is killed. The man who kills the bill
preventing the sale OF whisky in the
capitol OF the United States can never
be nominated or elected president"
There was new light in the Sena-
tors eyes. He breathed hard and
stammered, for the blow had got him
right in the plexus.
