Wadsworth Denounces sSav-
age Rigidity' of Measure;
Goes to Harding Now and
Will Stop Medicinal Brew
Nullifies Treasury Rules
Enforcement Will XIII Pro-
hibition and Lead to Ter
ror Reign, Says Senator

From This Trttunc's Washington BuYeow
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.--The long
struggle over the anti-beer bill in the
Senate ended to-day with the passage
OF that measure by a vote of 56 to %.
The question before the Senate was
adoption of the conference report,
which had already passed the House.
The bill now goes to President Harding
for signature, and when it is signed
and enacted the beer regulations re-
Gently issued by the Treasury Depart
ment will be nullified. The bill stops
the use of beer and malt liquors for
medicinal purposes.
Twelve Republicans and ten Demo
Gratis voted against the bill. The Re-
publicans were Senators Brandegee,
du Pont, Edge, Johnson, La Toilette,
Lodge, Mclean, Penrose, Phipps, Short
ridge, Wadsworth and Weller. Demo
Gratis opposing it were Senators Brous-
sard, Gerry, King, Pomerenc, Ransdell,
Shields, Stanley, Underwood, Walsh, of
Massachusetts, and Watson, of Georgia
Thirty three Republicans and twenty
three Democrats voted for the bill.
Attacked by Wadsworth
Under the agreement reached some
days ago, there was an hours debate
beginning at II O'Clock, and at noon
the vote was taken. The chief feature
of the debate was q speech by Senator
Wadsworth, attacking the measure. He
predicted that the Savage rigidity" of
the bill. along with the severity of
other legislation and enforcement meth
ods, would break down prohibition.
Senator Wadsworth described to the
Senate as an illustration of the meth
DDS of prohibition enforcement officers
the case of the shooting of William
E. Weisheit, farmer living at Glen
mont, near Albany, early last Septem
Der. He was shot by Frank Gallow, a
prohibition enforcement officer. Weis-
heit had gone to Albany with produce
of his farm, accompanied by his son.
AS the two were going home on their
| motor truck in the darkness of evening
they were ordered to halt by three pro-
hibition officers, who were without uni
forms or badges. Thinking the three
we're highwaymen, Weisheit and his
son drove on rapidly, whereupon Weis-
heit was shot and wounded by Gallow
Calls 1t an Atrocity
Senator Wadsworth called this affair
an "atrocity" and said the officers had
no information whatever that Weisheit
and his son were bootleggerss He said
the officers suspected bootleggers were
using the road along which Weisheit
travelled, and that was their excuse for
trying to stop him in the darkness. All

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.--Henry Ford
talked to the President to-day for ten
minutes concerning a plan to buy the
oattleships which the Conference on
Armament Limitation plans to junk.
Mr.. Ford made it clear that his offer
applies to all ships or none.
The Detroit automobile manufacturer
called at the White House originally to
pay his respects to the President. The
amenities observed, SO enthusiastic was
he concerning his plan to make junk
of American battleships that he out
lined it to the President.
Just how far Mr.. Ford went in
sketching details of his plan was not
revealed.
On leaving the President he made his
exit from the White House through a
side door. The President, later, dis
missed Mr.. Ford's visit with sentence
to the correspondents, to the effect that
Mr.. Ford discussed plans for junkina
battleships.

plant governing committee, agreed to-
day with officials Of the packing house

other sixteen assemblies of employees
to take similar action.

plant assembly at a meeting with
company officials had agreed to cut
in wages. The amount Of the cut will
not be fixed until tomorrow. Officials
said they had been advised that the

wage cut Practically identical with
that announced to-day for Armour

OBERAMMERGAU, Bavaria, Nov. 81.
The Passion Play Committee. which
recently has been bombarded by pro-
posals from American motion picture
concerns for the privilege of filming the
production in 1922, when the play next
will be performed, is standing firm in
it's refusal "to play Judas to our tradi-
ton. despite our poverty as it puts it.
The committee, it is said, has refused
offers running as high as 70,0o0,0o0
marks, representing a huge fortune to
the vallagers. Their production of the
play every ten years is in fulfilment Of
a vow made back in the seventeenth
century thus to express the gratitude of
the village for having been spared from
plague. The play, last produced in
1910, was not given 1920, the regular
date. because of the mortality amonk

VETO OF THE PARK BILL

Governor Blaine's veto OF the North
ern Lakes Park bill will be received
with varying emotions by the people OF
Rusk county. The park would nave
been a fine thing for the people OF the
state and for Rusk county III recrea-
tional way. Thousands OF people would
have been enabled to enjoy it's prlml-
tive loneliness. The tract is easily ac-
cessible to the people of this county, be-
ing in the two adjoining counties OF
Sawyer and Price and not over two
hours run by automobile from the cen
ter Of this county. 1t is said to be the
best of but few primitive timbertd
tracts left in state containing lakes
and stream attractions, and the des-
pOilatiOn of it's fine timber is said to he
imminent. The governors veto will be
deplored by many
On the other hand. and in line With
the Republican party'S promises OF
economy and retrenchment, many VIII
no doubt believe the governor was JUS
titled in disappearing an expenditure
of an appropriation of quarter OF a
million dollars for this park and fifty
thousand more for two other smaller
parks. which are not absolutely needed.
From the standpoint. of the motorists
and those who would profit by the
park and all who could get there to on
JOY it. the veto may appear to lack an
element of progress and human wei
fare. but to the thousands of poor peo-
pie who would never be able to visit or
enjoy the park and who are now bowed
down with heavy taxes the death OF
the park bill will be regarded as the
proper ending of an expensive pro
gram.
Taking into consideration the in
trinSic timber and land value OF the
tract, it is doubtful that it could be
condemned by the state at the estlmat-
ed sum of quarter of million. A 10
cal party who is part owner OF the
land and timber. declares it is worth
more than double the appropriation
carried in the park bill.

MOTOR VS.. RAILROADS

Some time ago we told Il little story
about how the railroads lost S2OO,OOO
i'm freightS because the onion farmers
Of Texas found that the hauling
charges by boat from Galveston, Tex
as, to New York City were about half
what the railroads were charging
under their present unc0nSclOnably
high rates. The onions just fioated
into New York. The Texas farmers
saved a lot of money and the railroads
lost 100000 even if they had only
charged the boat freight rate.
A. ID. Hill is ii general store Keeper
at Kingston. The railroad station at
Pineville is a mile up hill from MI.

cents a hundred for freight from King
Ston to Pineville and after that there
is the cost of loading and hauling

WHO OWNS HOTEL
SEEMS A PUZZLE
Ruling Banning Raffles Leaves
Chippewa Falls In Decided
Cuandary

DISONv-AlthOugh ne formal
complaint nor inquiry has been re-
ceived here as to the effect of the rul-
ing of the attorney generals depart
ment on lotteries, there has been con-
siderable discussion in the Capitol on
its bearing on the rattle of the North
ern Hotel in Chippewa Falls a week
ago.
A report has reached Madison that
there were liens apprOximating $780,
900 against the fine hotel in Chippewa
Falls which proved to be white ele
plant" to the stockholders and the To-
cal Elks lodge agreed to assume or
guarantee the payment OF the liens by
rafting off the hotel at 81 per ticket.
1t was expected to sell from 100000
to 100000 tickets, but instead, it is
said the sales were little more than
100000 with expenses in conducting
the rattle running into the thousands.
Under the agreement it is said the
hotel was to be given with clear ii
tie to the holder of the lucky ticket,
but in order to dO so the fifty men
who signed the guarantee would be
compelled to put JIp about $4,000 each
and that forty-two of them repudiated
the agreement
The questions arising are can the
stockholders of the hotel hold the fif
ty men or the Chippewa Falls lodge IF
Elks to the agreement. Can the holder
of the lucky ticket compel the Elks to
turn the hotel over to him with a clear
title?
1t is declared here shat under the
ruling of the attorney generals de-
partment in the opinion given this
week to District Attorney Fred V.
Heinemam, Appleton, over the ques
ton of rafting the Appleton Junction
hotel, the entire proceedings at Chip
pewa Falls would be considered in the
eyes of the law q lottery or gamble
therefore illegal and that no one could
recover unless it is those who pur
chased tickets. and as the purchasers
of the tickets or chances were parties
10 the action, it is doubtful it they
could recover.
Under the circumstances it is held
here that the most equitable way out
OF the difficulty in Chippewa Falls
would he for the Elks to turn over
the net receipts, said to be about
$4,000 to the holder of the lucky
ticket. AS several men had entered
into a pool they would each receive
several thousand dollars and in that
way everyone could be satisfied.

GOLD STILL FLOODS US;
WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?
Voted Financial Expert Says More
Inflat ON Will Not Come But 1t
May Hurt Our Export
" Francis H. SiSsOn, Vice-President

Today the United States has the
largest accumulation of gold coin and
bullion in all it's history, and, in fact,
in the history of any other country.
On June l we held the enormous
amount of $3,175,0O0,00 nearly one
half of all the gold coin and bullion
in eXistence-and since that date
there have been accretions to our
stock of the precious metal almost
daily. Gold has been flowing to this
country in a steady stream since the
beginning of the calendar year. n
wear AGO we held $2,663, 100000, and,
therefore, have acquired 11,360,OOO
since that date. The aggregate i'm
portatiOns of gold since January l
have amounted to Approximately
$400.00OO00 In each month since
August, 1920, imports Of the metal
have exceeded exports. This gold
has come from nearly every country
that could possibly send it to us. al
though most of it has come from Eu-
rope. and chiefly from Great Britain
and France. About three-quarters OF
the total is held by the Federal Re
serve Banks.
There is no likelihood. however, that
the present accumulation of gold will
give rise to any marked measure OF
imitation. 1t has been demonstrated
anew by recent experience that mel
Their does the accumulation of gold al
ways result in an expansion OF credit
and a rise in prices nor does its loss
through expectation necessarily cause
contraction of credit and a decline
in prices The last quarter Of 1919
and the first half of 1920 was period
If considerable reduction in the coun-
try's stock of gold, accompanied by a
marked increase in prices. Through
out the present period of increasing
gold supply prices have continued
their downward trend.
But the recent accumulation of gold
in this country is to some extent a re-
lection of the inadequate provision OF
credits for financing our export trade.
In the interest of this trade, every
reasonable effort should be made to
,, obviate the necessity for foreign cOun-
tries to dispose of their gold holdings
i'll such large quantities.
While this inflow of gold has helped
to improve the reserve position OF the
Federal Reserve Banks, it represents
on the whole withdrawal OF the
metal from countries which need 70
strengthen their currencies. The eff
feet upon exchange rates is not pre-
cisely measurable, but it is certain
that the movement can not continue
at the present rate without adversely
affecting exchanges. SO far as this
country is concerned, there is prob
ably more cause for apprehension on
this score in view of the possible fur
ther impediments to our export trade.
than for fear of an imitation OF our
currency and prices i'll consequence OF
the accommodating gold supply.
