DRYS PLAN BILL To
STOP LIQUOR SALES
ON AMERICAN SHIPS
House Is First To Take
Definite To Remedy
Conditions Complained
Of By Anheuser Busch
[RepubIican a. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, June 15--Indica-
tions multiplied rapidly today that
prohibition proponents in congress
would move through the pending
merchant marine bill to stop the sale
OF liquor on American ships. The
first definite step to end the condl-
tions complained of by Anheuser
Busch, Inc, of st. Louis, came
through presentation by Representa-
tive Bankhead. Democrat. Alabama,
to have the house merchant marine
committee draft an amendment to
the merchant marine bill which
would deny government aid to any
American ship on which liquor is
stored, sold or otherwise dispose of.
The committee did not act on the
amendment at today's session and
later Republican committee mem
bers. hastily called together, received
another proposal framed by Repre-
sentative Edmonds, Republican,
Pennsylvania, and designed as sub
stitute for the Bankhead amendment.
The Edmonds amendment would
have the effect of putting American
ships on a parity with those of ma
tions which do not have prohibition.
1t would provide fine of $4,000 for
any ship of a registry on which liq-
uOIA Is SOl0 duIillS IL NOA0SS Stdl tlLS
or ending at an American port and
after a second offense would prohibit
the entrance Of the ship to American
ports.
The proposal was taken under con-
sideration by the majority committee
members with the belief being ad-
vanced in some quarters that it ran
directly counter to many. OF the ma
tionS commercial treaties.
Action today was not entirely con-
fined to congress for as on yester-
day executive officials discussed the
matter and it was indicated at the
treasury that Attorney General
Daugherty might be asked soon for
a ruling on the legality of liquor
selling on American ships. Mr..
Daugherty, when asked about the
possibility of a new ruling or rather
a review of the ruling made by the
department of justice during the Will
son administration to the effect that
prohibition follows the flag. said that
although no such request had been
made it would be acted upon as
speedily as possible if made by the
revenue department.
Liquor selling on American ships
was discussed both in the house and
hhC oShdlOs 1OoPCis
Republican. Ohio. declaring that no
one would deny that the law break
er and bootlegger in our land will be
encouraged to carry on his work by
reason of the policy of the shipping
board. Representative Upshaw, DEM
ocrat Georgia, another speaker, de-
scribed the position of the shipping
board on the matter as utterly in
defensible."
Senator Caraway. Democrat. Ar
kansas, in the senate charged the
policy of the board as Childish, fool
ish and dishonest" and said that
when the merchant marine bill came
up he would remind the senate that
a vote for it was a vote to license
saloons on American Ships.
Chairman Lasker of the shipping
board meanwhile maintained silence
on the matter and it was indicated
at the shipping board that having
detailed the boards policy he would
not reply to the supplemental letter
addressed to him yesterday by the
Anheuser Busch company.

FOR RAIL WORKERS
MADE PUBLIC TODAY

CHICAGO, June 15-Delay in the
preparation of the minority opinion of
the railroad labor boards newest
wage reduction prevented the ex-
pected announcement of the decision
tonight. 1t was said the board hoped
to have the decision ready for the

of the board began work on lengthy
protest.
The decision will affect 800. 900
clerks and station employees, 10000
signalmen. 10000 stationary firemen
and oilers and 5000 train dispatchers.
The latter class will not come under

fective July /.
Strike ballots continued to roll into
headquarters of the six railroad shop
crafts, whose triple barreled vote on
the question of striking against the
wage cut and other unsatisfactory
conditions. was ordered last week.
The men have 10 days left in which to
get their pink, blue and white slips
into Chicago.
1--WE are expecting nearly a 100
per cent vote this time" said John
Scott. secretary of the crafts today.
This is the most important situa-
tion that has come up in recent years
and the men are thoroughly dissatis-
fled with the situation. The ballots

SEE BITTER FIGHT
ON SENATE FLOOR
OVER BONUS BILL
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

REPUBLICAN A. p. Leased Wfre1
WASHINGTON, June ia bitter
fight in the senate next week over
the soldiers bonus issue was predict
ed in all senate quarters tonight as
a result of numerous informal Repub-
lican conferences today to which
President Harding was party.
call for a formal party confer
ence of Republican senators next
Monday morning to discuss proce-
dure with the bonus and pending
tariff bills together with the pro-
posed majority cloture rule was
called late today by Senator Lodge.
Republican floor leader, after he had
conferred with the President and
many Republican senators.
Also next Monday. il the naval ap
preparation bill is passed meanwhile,
a. motion TO lay aside the tariff. bill
and proceed with the bonus measure
will be made by Senator McCumber,
Republican. North Dakota, chairman
of the senate finance committee and
in charge of both bills.
Senator McCumber said he would
make his motion with full knowledge
of President Harding's views that the
bonus bill should be delayed until
after disposal of the tariff measure.
President Harding, in his talk with
Senator Lodge, was said to have re-
iterated his opinion that the tariff
bill should be pressed. The president
was represented as holding this view
VERY strongly and his statement
was transmitted to Republican ranks
by Senator Lodge. The President
also, it was said, believed that after
disposal of the tariff bill, and before
consideration OF the bonus measure
the administration ship subsidy bill
should be given the senate right of
way.
Republican leaders favoring prece-
dence for the tariff bill predicted
confidently that a majority of the
conference would vote to give the
tariff bill right of way over the
bonus measure.
The fight on the McCumber mo-
tion. it was conceded among leaders
of all senate factions, next Monday
would furnish one of the most spec
tacular debates of the season. Pre-
dictions were made that the Presi-
dent would again intervene actively
in the bonus controversy by bringing
more influence to bear to hold the
tariff bill before the senate. Senator
McCumber said he regarded his plan
to call up the bonus bill early next
week as "a matter of honor of the
Republican party" which he said had
pledged itself to early enactment OF
bonus legislation. The tariff bill was
not before the senate today, being
laid aside to give way to the naval
appropriation bill, but there was
brief discussion by Democratic sem
ators of the attack made yesterday
by Senator McCumber on metropoll-
tan newspapers, importers and de-
partment stores alleged to be fight
ing the bill.

ROOSEVELT SAYS NO
RACIAL A|vT|PATHY
IN KAPLAN ACTION
TRepublican A. P.Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, June 15-Acting
Secretary of, the Navy Roosevelt to-
day officially reprimanded Ensign
J. l.. Olmstead, editor of the Lucky
Bag" the year book of this years
graduating class at Annapolis, for
"cruel and unwarranted" treatment
of Leonard Kaplan, a fellow member
of the class.
When asked for copy Of the rep
rinand, Acting Secretary Roosevelt
made public at the same time a
statement in which he expressed the
belief that no racial antipathy was
behind the treatment of Kaplan.
"a most serious note in this in
stance at the academy" Colonel
Roosevelt said in his statement to
newspaper men, I" was struck by the
query in certain peoples minds as to
whether the action had been taken
because of racial reasons. Feeling
as strongly as l do, how un- Ameri-
can any such distinction as this
should be- | have gone most care
fully into this phase. l am happy to
say that l am convinced that, bad
though this incident was, no such
motive was behind it.
"The records of the naval acad-
emy show that in the class of 1922,
nine men entered their faith as Jew
ish. Certain of these men were
among the most popular in the class.
Furthermore, a number of our prom
inent officers in the past and at this
time are either Jewish or of Jewish
extraction.
The reprimand automatically be-
comes a part of Olmsteads official
navy record. Olmstead is attached
to the battleship Wyoming.

Documents - Grant t S
Equal Suffrage But In
vest Law Force In Old
Pact

LONDON. June 15.-The draft of
the new Irish constitution made pub
lie tonight on the eve of the Irish
elections gives as the document it
self states, force of law to the Anglo
Irish treaty and expressly declares
that any provision of the constitution
or any amendment thereto, or any
law enacted under the constitution,
which is in any respect repugnant to
the treaty, shall be void, and inoper-
ative.
The constitution thus embodies
connection with the British crown as
already established in the treaty and
generally places the relations be-
tween Ireland and the empire on the
same basis as Canada and the other
dominions.
The constitution requires every
member of the free state parliament
to subscribe faith and allegiance to
the constitution and to swear to be
faithful to the king in virtue of the
common citizenship of Ireland and
Great Britain and Ireland's member
ship in the British commonwealth of
nations.
The documents contains 79 articles
and is considered an up-to- date in
strument, not only granting female
suffrage, proportional representation
and a referendum to the people, but
also empowering the people them
selves to initiate legislation. 1t gives
to the chamber great power with re-
spect to money bills without control
from the senate thus duplicating the
position as between the British house
of commons and the house of lords.
1t exenfpts the free state from act
i've participation in war without the
consent of parliament. except in the
case of actual invasion and gives the
Irish supreme court the fullest pow
ers, only stipulating the right of citi-
zens to appeal to the king in council
against the supreme courts decision.
1t provides for fredeom of religion
and conscience, gives free state citl-
zens full protection against the arbl-
trary power of court martial, and ex-
tends to parliament exclusive control
over the armed forces, as stipulated
in the treaty.
Salient Terms of Constitution
Article 1.-The Irish free state
(Saorstate Ireann) is a co-equal

Article 2-All the powers of the
