Weeks Asks HAYNES
to KeepDry Agents
Out Of Canal Zone
Secretary of War Desires to
Give Governor Morrow
Free Hand in Enforc.
ing the Law.

Washington. April 7-Scrctary
Weeks was understood 10 have re-
quested Commissioner Haynes TO
keep federal prohibition agents out
of Panama canal zone, for tine,
at least. and allow Governor Nor
row to continue the administration
of the zone without assistance from
other departments.
Appointment of\John I. Barrett,
formerly Of Revere, Mass, but now
in the canal zone. as federal prohibi-
ton director for the zone, was
announced recently by prohibi-
ton headquarters, but it was said to-
night that the commission had not
as yet actually gone forward.
Mr.. Haynes was understood to
have acceded to the war secretary's
request and it was said at the bureau
that the installmcnt Of Mr.. Barrett
and a force of prohibition agents
in the canal zone would be held up
until the matter could be taken up
between the two branches OF the
government.
Application OF the national pro-
hibition law to the canal zone is
provided by the Willis-Campbell act
which was enacted a few months
ago, but enforcement agents under
prohibition headquarters have not as
yet been sent there.
The position taken by Secretary
Weeks in letter to Mr.. Haynes, is
that the establishment of a federal
prohibition director in the canal zone
would result inevitably in raising a
question of authority and possibly
lead to friction.
Governor Morrow is now the ST.
preme authority resident in the zone
and. acting under the War depart
mcnt, has control of everything in
dividual within the limits OF the
zone.

Lasker Favors

Chairman of Shipping Board
Recommends Section of
Jones Act at Hearing on

Washington, April 1.-The most

however, would have provided full

Discussing direct aid provisions
of the subsidy bill. Mr.. Lasker pre-
dicted that in 10 years indirect aids
would be sufficient for maintenance
OF the merchant marine, and that the
government would no longer be re-

that it was for this reason that he
favored l0-ycar contracts with ship
owners instead OF l5-year agree
ments. which, he said, some opera

American Hustler
Draws Big Crowd

The first home talent play of the
season was staged by the Epworth
League last Friday night. The play
was a scream from start to finish.
Fun and frolic were interspersed with
clean thinking and high moral living,
altogether making play that de-
served the patronage of every right
thinking citizen.
Will Pilgeram as Major Bob, took
the part as to the manner born, max
ing real success of it. Eleanor
Peters as Miss Priscilla Fagg played
role entirely new to her and proved
her versatility by making her part
one of the successes Of the play.
Miss Villa Browning as Amelia and
brother Harry as Steve Dallas made
up pair whose part was to love, and
they had no difficulty whatever in
filling the bill. Percy Engdahl did not
find favor with the audience, and that
is the finest tribute that can be paid
him, as his part on this occasion was
that of the william. An exceedingly diff
ficult role well played. Frank Josce-
lyn as Old Joe appeared only in the
first act and like Micawber, the au-
dience wanted more of him. Lee John
son as Duxum the lawyer, Gust Probst
as Binks, Kathryn Stuce as Annie
Lowell, Ella Graybeal as Mary, and
Howard Graybeal as the servant COM
pleted the cast, all contributing wor-
lilly towards making the most am
,itious play the Leaguers have yet
an undoubted success. The

,ther play, minstrel show and lee

had suffered for some time from high
blood pressure and the end, which was
not unexpected, came at o'clock in

household work. She died instantly
and was found a few minutes later by
her daughter. Louise.
Her husband was Is miles away at
the time harvesting rice. The funeral
was held on Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
Mrs Bentson, nee Emma Lenhart,
came to Belt as third grade teacher
about September, 1898. She taught
in the local schools until her marriage
to Carl G. Bentson in 1905. They
continued to reside here for some
