General Director Explains
Line of Action.

ST LOUIS, Nov. 20 (Associated Press).
Plans for campaign. the ultimate
object of which would be repeal of the
prohibition amendment. were discussed
here to-day at the first meeting of sec
retaries Of State branches of the Asso-
citation Opposed to the Prohibition
Amendment.
The first step will be to have the law
amended so 1t will be more acceptable
to the "wets" and at the same time
conform to the Eighteenth Amendment.
w III. Stayton of Baltimore, general
director of the association, expressed
tho personal opinion that the first pro-
cedure should be to amend the law so
juries would have the power to deter
mine what is and what is not an intox-
icating beverage.
ultimately, of course, we seek the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment
Mr. Stayton added.
Particular efforts will be made TO
elect wet legislatures in Illinois, Ohio,

Minnesota. Mr.. Stayton said, adding
that these were considered pivotal"

Commissioner Ends Inquiry
Into Civil Service Graft.

David Hirshfield, Commissioner OF
Accounts. yesterday ended his investi-
cation of the alleged civil service graft
charged by Patrick j. Ryan, former
fingerprint expert OF the Municipal
Civil Service Commission. Mr.. Hirsh-
field said he might take 1t up again
later, but for the present he has evidence
to complete the case against eighteen
policemen charged with trying to bu-1
promotion for $1,50O each. He has
turned over his findings to the commits
sion and to the Police Department.
Abraham Kaplan. president OF the
commission, who is also making an in
vestigatlon, said he would proceed with
his inquiry to-day and rush 1t through.
The commission has two objects In view
to decide the merits of Ryan's claim for
reinstatement and to investigate more
fully the charges of Ryan and Michael
j. Burke regarding graft.

Commissioner, at Brooklyn Police
Headquarters.
Capt. Rohrig was suspended by Com
missioner Enright on November 6, but
it~was not known until last night that
charges also had been preferred
against Inspector Walsh.
The charges against both men are the
result of raid by detectives under
John DAILY. Deputy Commissioner, on
November at Gerritson Beach near
Sheepshead Bay. They seized liquor
valued at $1,000 aboard the schooner
Marguerite.
1t was said at the Office of Commits
sioner DAILY that the police knew that
smuggling was going On and that Capt.
Rohrig had been instructed to watch
the vicinity of the beach. When the
detectives under Commissioner DAILY
went there no policemen were on duty
and no guard was in sight
Capt. Rohrig was suspended the next
day. the Commissioner alleging that he
had failed to obey orders and that he
had not taken sufficient precaution to
guard the beach against smugglers and
had failed to enforce the State laws.
Nothing was said at that time about
Inspector Walsh, the charges against
him apparently being the result of
later Investigations
Inspector Walsh became a captain
on October %, 1918. and was made
acting inspector of the old Eighth dis
trict on October 10, 1881. Later he
was transferred to the Ninth district
in Brooklyn, which includes Browns

Merely agitating the beer and light

have got to get a broader view of the
whole thing. The law as IL stands either
will become a dead letter blue law or
the Government will be obliged to con-
troll the situation in quite different
manner than is now being done.
I'm a democracy we cannot have class
dictation in any form. No group, whether
wet or dry agltators, can control the

Special Dispatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.
FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Ind, Nov 90
The fight begun by w. E. Hull Repre-
sentative-elect from the sixteenth dis
trict of Indiana. against the Anti
Saloon League as a menace to good
government and as a dangerous insti-
tuition which must be driven out of
politics, has held the attention of the
Tammany leaders here for two days.
Mr.. Hull appears to have the new
est idea growing out of the prohibition
fight. He has started "a backfire
against the league which is catching
hold in many sections in the Middle
West and is causing dry agitators
much worry.
Charles r. Murphy to-day heard all
about Mr.. Hull's remarkable campaign.
and gave his blessing to the Republican
from Indiana.
you have the right idea. We don't
seem to get getting anywhere the way
we are headed" Mr. Murphy told Mr..
Hull.
Says Leaguc Elects WcakIfngs.
The Hull idea has made such hit
with the New York men that they will
carry it back with them, and in all prob
ability adopt it in their Albany fights
with Anderson and the league.
THE Anti-Saloon League has outlived
its usefulness and must CO." Mr. Hull
contends. He made that his fight in
what was supposed TO be a dry district
and won by 5000 votes.
Under the guise OF fighting for a
moral cause" he said. ''the league is
tunneling under Federal and State Gov
ernments. Its support of any man.
whether capable or not, as long as he Is
bone dry. Is getting weak men into Of
flee and keeping good men OUT
The Federal Administration must
"shake off the shackles'' and assert its
independence of the league or that Adj
ministration is sure to be dragged down,
Mr.. Hull said. The league. he added,
actually controls the prohibition en-
forcement bureaus and has usurped the
powers of the Internal Revenue Depart
unent, yet prohibition enforcement Is q
failure. Conditions are worse I'm many
respects than before the eighteenth
amendment was adopted, he asserted.
The Government is losing tremendous
sums. which are going into the pockets
of medicine and other manufacturers
because OF the unfair and topsided laws
mt on tho books by the league, freeing
certain denatured products from Fedora
tax, Mr.. Hull contends. There Is M

Won by Record Vote.

William C. McAdoo made four speeches
in the district Hull won by record
vote His issue was that the league
must not become the Government or the
Government would fall. He carried
evrey county in the district.
Hull is wealthy. He was in the dis
tilling business for thirty years, starting
as a Government guager and then be-
came general manager of Clarke
Brothers. the largest distillers in the
world. He never drinks or smokes and
has no sympathy with intemperance OF
the saloon brand He has been Re-
publican leader in the Peoria district for
twenty years.
The, eagerness with which the Tam
many men have Endorsed Hulrs positions
further indicates that the prohibition
question is becoming rapidly non-parti-
san. The wet leaders through the mid
die West are as eager as Tammany to
get together regardless Of politics and
fight along the same line.

PRINCETON ELEVEN
DID WAS TO CLEAN UP

PRINCETON, n. j.. December 81
Coach Bill Roper Of the Tigers re-
Gently received a unique opinion on
his foot ball team from a western fan
who saw the Orange and Black beat
Chicago last fall, 81 to IS.
That Princeton foot ball team" he
writes, 'fs sure one bunch of rough
necks. Every time their opponents
win a game they steps in and takes
1t away from them. They won't play
according to no rules at all. They
score when they haven't any sign or
right to it, an when 1t come the
let 'em. They do all sorts OF things
that everybody knows is boneheaded
and against the rules. such as runnin'
with the ball in your own territory
and crossing the opponents goal line
against his will.
They amt got no line at all and
hold the world record for first downs
to the 1-yard line and there amt
nothing in the world can stop the
other side from scoring they gets to-
gether and stops it. No team can't
win playing that way. And il they
do It amt foot ball.
This team hasn't hardly won a
game all season. Everybody knows
Chicago beat them at least two touch
downs absolutely every. way except
on the scoreboard. And when they
played Yale they were beat before
the game started. The worst Of it is
Yale was beat when the game ended.
There ought to be something done
sorship an a commission and a cou-
pie Of coroners. This Princeton bunch
is too hard boiled for cotemporary

navy, DESPITE LOSSES,
EXPECTS CLEVER CREW

There are some twenty young men
In the rowing squad at the Naval
Academy. much Of the same general
type of those who made up the splen-
did crews Of the last three years. VINO
are determined that the standards OF
insist that they will confound those
who think that the golden era Of Navy
rowing Is over.
Only one of these, Harry Bolles. the
captain, has rowed on the varsity be-
fore, as seven Of the regulars were
taken by the graduation Of last years
class. but there Is a wealth Of fine ma
terial in the Junior crews. and there
will be no difficulty in assembling q
crew which will be as heavy and
strong as that Of last year. The oars.
manship Of the next Navy crew is, Of
course, a different matter. but the
material Is not inexperienced. A few
have rowed for three seasons, and all
have had either one or two years
previous experience. 1t is believed that
Coach Richard Glendon. jr.. has much
of the knack of his father in picking
oarsman and in placing them in the
GIendon will have two crews from
which to draw. He will have all of
his second and plebe crews Of last
the Princeton varsity, which it met in
the Henleys, while the plebes went
through the season without defeat.
TheI second crew men available are:
Kirkpatrick. Dahlgren, Walsh. Stro-
hecker. Kendall. Davidson. clexton and
Washburn. The plebes are: Clyde.
Compton, Zuber. King, Chtllingworth.
Powell, Bell and Mitchell. Welker and
De Wolf are two unusually powerful
men on the third crew who may find
places in the varsity this year, while
Labert has been picked from the fourth
class as q most promising oarsman.
These twenty. including Bolles. will
be the hope Of Naval Academy rowing
for the coming season.
The naval crew will row neither in
the Hsnleys nor at Poughkeepsie this
season. but will row Harvard ana
Princeton on Lake Carnegie on May 8:
Its home races will be: University Of
Pennsylvania, April 81; Massachusetts,
Tech. April 3S; Syracuse, May -.
Columbia may also row at Annapolis
on May IL.
