PUT DRINKERS IN
JAIL IS DRY PLAN
'Wets" Aghast at Extreme
Measures Which Will Be
Urued on CONGRESS.

Jail sentences for buying a drink!
That's next. So say the prohibition
leaders.
Pretty soon they'll urge Jail terms
for asking for a drink, then itll be
the millennium, retort the "wets."
They are lining up for a stin fight
to make it impossible to get a drink.
If the plans of the dry leaders in Con-
gress are to be relied upon.
Dry" leaders claim the only way
to stop bootleggers, now expanding
their trade. is to make IL criminal for
one to even OFFER to buy whiskey. The
drys in their legislative proposal
would make a prima facie case against
man or woman caught in the act OF
rendering money to a bootlegHer for
pint flask of liquor.
The "wets" on all sides are fairly
aghast at the bold measures which
are to be pressed in Congress. 1t Is
an open secret that they have been
urged to adopt these tactics by Gov
eminent enforcement officials. These
officers have made an utter failure
of enforcement The most extreme
measures have been adopted recently,
some of them apparently running
counter to the plain intent of Con-
gress. but adopted as the only expe-
dent left to check a wave of whiskey
frauds and bootlegging upon a scale
which even the most optimistic drys
never believed possible.

PALMER BEER ED|CT
TO STAY IN FORCE
Reversal of Ruling Not Contem-
plated by 0augherty-Dry
Forces Will Be Increased.

The ruling drafted by A. Mitchell
Palmer, retired Attorney General
giving a liberal Interpretation to the
Volstead law, and upsetting many
existing enforcement regulations
governing the manufacture and sale
Of non beverage liquors, will be per-
mitted to stay in force. It was an
nounced at the Department of JUS
tice today.
Attorney General Daugherty said
that while he had not digested the
Palmer opinion, IL was not probab o
that any action would be taken to
reverse either this or other leading
opinions drafted by his predecessor
Daugherty said 1t would not be his
policy to review such decisions, be-
cause IL is contrary to the long
established custom OF the Depart
ment of Justice, - r
Redrafting of many of the exist
ing prohibition regulations and the
revocation of others which were held
by former Attorney. General Palmer
to violate the real intent of Con-
gross are under way today. The
revision will he taken up in greater
earnest with the announcement of q
new Internal Revenue Commissioner,
now expected daily, and the naming
of new Prohibition Commissioner.
Now that legal authority has been
given for the manufacture OF whis-
key. beer. wine, and other liquors
for strictly non-beverage uses, with
out restriction as to the amount
produced and sold by permit hold
ers. there will be an increase in the
work of prohibition headquarters
and of it's forces in the field. Con-
ferences are now under way among
officials with view to lifting re-
strictions upon brewers and wine
makers, to permit the distribution of
wine and beer to retail and whole
sale druggists to meet expected de-
mands.

RAPS
WAGE ATTACKS
Sounds Cry Against Open Shop
Tactics and Flags En-
pIoyers' Policies.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March IL
Samuel Gompers last night voiced
organized labor's opposition to wage
reductions and the open-shop move
ment.
FIGHT INDUSTRIAL AUTOCRACY.
Addressing the Student Liberal
Club at Harvard University, the
president of the American Federation
of Labor warned the enemies OF ra-
tional labor unionism against driv-
ing too hard the bargain of wage re-
vision, said that labor regarded aspi-
ration as a guarantee under the Con-
stitution, interpreted that in terms of
We want more" and asserting that
the open shop was simply a sueter-
fuge to close shops against labor
unionists. added that the men OF Ia
Dor who have fought to protect the
country and themselves against a po-
litical autocracy were not now going
to submit to an Industrial autocracy.
He said the time was one to try
mems souls and that with the cut
ting Of wages and prohteering still
going on, the pirates of finance and
of business have much to answer for"
II have lived TO see many in indus

seen the pendulum swing both ways,
through depressions and REVEALS as
well. / want to say in all earnestness
that 1t will not do, it BODIES no good.
for the enemies of bona fide national
la Dor unionism of America to drive
the bargain too hard.
OLD BOURBONs STILL HERE.
THE men of labor are in earnest in
this movement of ours. They are de-
termined to see to it that as result
of their labor and services they are
going to be regarded as sovereign
citizens and obtain their guaranteed
rights
1T is OF considerable interest" the
speaker remarked, in discussing the
open shop movement, ito find employ
ers, or many of them, organized in
associations and spending large sums
for the purpose of protecting en-
ployes in their freedom. History de-
monstrates no such care of master
for his slave. / submit for your
thought whether the National Asso-
citation Erectors Association, the cham
bers of commerce which have launch
ed the campaign. conducting 1t with
advertising, seeking to protect en-
ployes in their right not to join q
union.
1.-THE fact of the matter is that
there are still living among employ
ers typical old bourbons-those who
forget nothing because they have
learned nothing. There are some. OF
these who still hold the hope that
the time is coming when there will be
reestablished a condition of serfdom
among the great class Of toilers Of
the land"

H|SLOP PLEASES IN
FIRST D. c. CONCERT
Scottish Tenor Shows Real Ar
tistry at National Theater.
Audience Is Appreciative.

IL would not be amisS to venture
the assertion that the next time Jo-
seph Hislop. the new Scottish tenor of
the Chicago Opera Company. comes to
Washington he will sing before a ca
pacity audience.
Mr. Hislop gave one of the most en-
joyable concerts of the season yester-
day afternoon at the National Thea
ter. 1t was his first visit to Washing
ton. on his first American concert tour.
Seldom has an unheralded artist re-
ceived such an appreciative welcome,
however, as Mr.. Hislop received yes
terday from the small but very en-
thusiastic audience of music lovers
who were fortunate enough to hear
him. The rare, pleasing quality of bis
voice. with the slightest touch of Scot
fish brogue in it, proved a source OF
general satisfaction.
Mr.. Hislop was even better in the
''Rhadames' aria from Aida" which
he rendered in splendid fashion, than
in his carefully selected English. Ital-
ian, French, Norwegian and German
songs. The famous aria gave him
ample opportunity to demonstrate the
scope of his voice. His excellent enun-
citation added to the pleasure of his
English songs. particularly the beau
tiful Mary of Argyle"
Mr.. Hislop rendered with rare SYM
pathy Coleridge-Taylor's Eleanor"
and the old English romantic song
20 Mistress of Mine" which proved
the most popular of his English suite.
His rendition of "Aime-Moi" far cx-
celled any of his group of lighter
songs and rivaled closely the aria
from LArlesiana- which called for
number of curtain appearances.
Assisting in the program was Oscar
Maestro, 'cellist who was particu-
larry pleasing in Cuts oriental" as
an encore. The Van Goentz Elegie
was, perhaps, his best number.
AS his final encore, Mr.. Hislop sang
La Donna f. Mobile" from Rigoletto.
as a special favor for the insistent APP
plause that greeted him upon the con-
clusion of his program. Alberto Scia-
rietti. the accompanist, is deserving
of commendation.

Paris ''FeeIers" Again Start
Cautious Contact to Ascer-

BY j. BART CAMPBELL.

"Feelers" is the term applied to-
day by Republican members Of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee to whatever efforts are being
made by the French or any other
European government to persuade
President Harding to look with favor
upon the entry of the United States
into the League of Nations with
reservations.
AN OLD. OLD STORY.
at is an old old story" one in
fiuential Republican Senator re-
marked. ut Is an open secret that
cmissaries OF certain European gov
ernments sought to sound out Mr..
Harding after his election to the
PRESIDENCY as to his willingness to
agree to modified League Of Nations
covenant.
"Now that he is President it is
only to be presumed that accredited
spokesman for our associates in the
World War have approached Mr..
Harding and the State Department
on the subject. and will continue to
do SO as long as they think, or their
governments think, there Is the re-
hottest possibility OF his financial in
terests which for months have been
working to commit the American ma
ton to the League of Nations under
any conditions or notifications we
might agree to-"
The belief was expressed that
France was probably more interested
at present in the United States agree
ing to the pact consented to by form
er President Wilson at Versailles.
which would bind this country to
uniting with Great Britain in helping
to protect the French from any Ger
man aggression which might be
threatened in the future.
This pact has been before the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
ever since former President Wilson
brought it back from Versailles and
submitted II to the Senate. 1t was so
intertwined with the League OF Ma
lions pact that no action has ever been
taken upon IT by the committee,
chairman. and others OF its members
have been more than once approached
on it by both French and British
spokesman.
KNOX WANTS PEACE MEASURE.
Republican members Of the senate
Foreign Relations Committee are in
accord on one proposition. however
they may differ on the Colombian
treaty. for instance. and that is any
attempt to revive the League of Ma
tions issue will be futile.
In the judgment of Senator Knox.
Republican, of Pennsylvania, the
technical state of war still existing
between the United States and it's
enemies in the late world conflict can
be ended by Congressional resolution
at any time. He does not believe the
present French, British, and Belgian
troop movement into Germany would
prevent the immediate passage of his
peace resolution were Congress in
session. and he, as we'll as other Re-
publican leaders at the Capitol, anti
cipate the passage of the resolution
as one of the first acts OF Congress
when it is convened in extraordinary
session next month.

ing Mrs. Stokes said to me: why.
Anna, Mr.. Stokes has nailed the door
up. | think that's terrible the way he
is treating my cousin"
This bit of testimony was offered
in confederation of evidence offered
earlier to the effect that tho plaintiff
nailed up the door to the passageway
between Mrs. Stokes room and the
front room on the same floor after
he had found Billig in his wife's
room at an early morning hour.
WITNESS PAID BY STOKES.
Mr.. Littleton on DISCRIMINATION
brought out the fact that from the
time the witness left the employ OF
the Stokes family on January Is,
1919, until June. 1920. she received
$40 month from Mr.. Stokes ard
also $3.50 weekly. Since June of
last year. she testified. she has re-
ceived $50 monthly from Mr.. Stokes
1t was also testified by her under
ross-eXamination that after she left
the Stokes employ she lived for a
time in the same house with Mrs.
Groeger. then Miss Gassner, the for
mer nurse of the Stokes children,
and who admitted receiving $3.50
weekly and $50 a month since leav-
ing Mrs Stokes employ.
Miss Brennan was asked rather
sharply by Mr.. Littlcton what she
did to earn the money which aad
been paid to her. She said that see
had mended clothing for him. That
occasionally he would send her a
suit to be pressed. Further cross
examination brought out the fact
that she had pressed a suit in March
and another in July, 1919. She did
rot know, she said, what Mr.. Stokes
did in the way of having clothes
cared for between times.
After leaving the Brooklyn address
the witness and Miss GaAsner moved
to Manhattan, where they remained
together until the time of the mar
riagc of Miss Gassner.
DREW TWO SALARIES.
The witness testified to number
OF other changes of address. Much
of the time following her departure
from the Stokes home she was work
ing, receiving a salary and her board
for her services. About one month
was spent on vacation at her old
home in Norwich. Conn. "All the
time" she admitted, 81 received these
checks"
What were you paid for?' de-
manded the counsel for defendant
Tell tho court what you did to get
those board and wages checks"
II can't explain any more than I've
already done. ] understand that in
cases like this people are paid ex-
pcnses, so I wasn't surprised when I
got my check. l understood ! was
to be paid until tho case ended, but
Mr.. Stokes and i never talked about
money. I felt / would rather do
something for the money, so / took
up the mending and pressing"
The cross-examiner brought the
witness step by step down toward the
present. Finally he reached the
month of June, 1920, and Miss Bren-
nan said that on the 21st Of that
month she had entered Mr.. Stokes
household as a servant and has since
then been and is now working for
him.
Mr.. Littleton remarked that there
was some difference between the $40
a month which Miss Brennan received
when she entered the employ OF Mr..
and Mrs. Stokes and the $50 a month
now paid to her. At this Mr.. Well
man interrupted with remark:
