HOUSE DRY ADVOCATES
SPLIT ON ENFORCEMENT
Transfer TO Department OF
Justice Proposed.

WASHINGTON, April s.--A split devel-
oped to-day among dry advocates in the
House when Representative Wood. Re-
publican (Ind.), announced he would in
troduce a bill transferring enforcement
of prohibition from the Internal Revenue
Bureau to the Department Of Justice.
Chairman Volstcad of the Judiciary
Committee, author of the enforcement
act. declared he was opposed to such
legislation.
Mr.. Wood said he believed his measure
would remedy non-enforcement condi-
tons He recalled that he said on the
floor of the House last session that he
would take such n step if Representative
Volstead did not do so, ON the ground
that the enforcement machinery estab-
lished by the Volstead act had fallen
down hopelessly.
"Some of those who want prohibition
enforcement transferred to the Depart
men of Justice do not want the law
rigidly enforced" was Representative
Volstead's comment to-day.

HARDING PURPOSES
HIGHWAY REFORMS
Will Halt Use of Public Funds

Maintenance.
WANTS PATROL SYSTEM
Believes Motor Vehicle License

Special Despatch to THE Ngw York HERALD

Washington, ID. C., April 3.

Special Despatch to THE Nyw York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. G., April 3.
Untold waste of Government funds
has resulted from the construction Of
iublic highways which when built are
allowed to ruin for want of a proper
system Of maintenance.
That is the opinion of President Har-
cling. who set 1t down as Government
policy to-day that not a penny more Of
public money is TO be spent for road
construction until such a maintenance
system Is established. In the view Of
Mr.. Harding the custom of the past to
let the roads deteriorate almost beyond
possibility or repair before quarter or
the ponds are redeemed amounts TO a
pubic scandal.
The view which Mr.. Harding holds
developed after he had conferred with a
group OF good roads advocates at which
the entire subject of Federal aid for
road building was discussed. II became
known then that Mr.. Harding feels
keenly on the subject of Federal aid as
at present administered taking the stand
that 1t is Just as important to keep the
roads in repair as to build new ones.
1t is the belief of Mr.. Harding that the
money received from licensing motor
vehicles should go to keep up the roads
since motor vehicles are almost entirely
responsible for their destruction. In the
absence of definite recommendation he
believes that practically all tho money
received as licenses should go to the up
keep of the roads.
Mr.. Harding feels that graduated
license system should be put In force
whereby heavy automobiles would pay
more than those less destructive. 1t Is a
matter which might easily be worked
out to the general benefit. he believes
The thing the President has in mind
is a patrol system by which at given in
tervals the roads would be overhauled
and repaired. and kept in good shape at
all times. That is not now general, or
course, the general rule being to let con-
tracts for the repair of roads. But at
best Mr. Harding thinks, this Is hit
and miss system which ought to be cor
rpctp1.

MANY THOUSANDS IN
MAIL HOLDUP LOOT
Three Registered Sacks Are
Stolen From, Truck in Ohio.

CINCINNATI. April S.--The value of the
three sacks of registered mail which
were stolen last night by three unmasked
bandits, after they had handcuffed the
driver of United States mail truck and
a railway mail clerk to the wheels of the
truck. had not been determined late to-
day. 1t is believed. however, that 1t viii
run far up into the thousands.
John Clark, superintendent of the
Railway Mail Service. is making in
quiries in the effort to find out what
points in Ohio the registered mail was
gent from. Clark believes that the sacks
may have contained money and possibly
Liberty bonds shipped from towns like
Sidney. Wapakoneta, Dayton and other
points between this city and Toledo.
"Thousa nds of dollars are shipped by
banks in those cities to Cincinnati, but
II viii be several days before we can
determine whether there was any large
amount in the stolen mail" Clark said.

that it would regard enforcement OF the
