WANTS BREWERS STATUE
REMOVED FROM PARK
c. E. of Reading Appeals to
the City Council.

Special Dispatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.
READING, Pa, Nov. 12.--By unanimous
vote and without debate the Berks coun-
ty Christian Endeavor Union in annual
convention last night passed resolutions
asking the City Council to remove the
statue erected In 1885 in City Park in
honor Of Frederick Laurer. who died in
1888
II was erected by the United States
Brewers Association. of which Laurer
was president. The Christian Endeavor
convention took the view that the statue.
In view of prohibition times, has no right
to remain in the park. The City Coun-
cilmen to-day refused to talk about the
resolutions until they have had a con-
ference.
Laurer was one OF the leading busl-
ness men here for many years and a
leading brewer Of the country. He was
a City Councilman, n railroad diector
and a trustee at Keystone State Normal
School, Kutztown.
AS n delegate to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention i'm Charleston, s. c..
in 1860 Laurer opposed secession and
tried to help nominate a candidate
favorable to the preservation Of the
Union. At his own expense he equipped
a company of men who served through
out the civil war in the 104th Pennsyl-
vania Regiment.

can ships by the ruling of Attorney-Gen-
eral Daugherty it is expected that many
companies whose ships go far ateld may
ask permission for a similar transfer In
order to evade Vosteadism, as, for in
stance, when an American ship Is per-
manently on tho South American trade.
as are some of the vessels of the United
Fruit Company.
The other reason for the stringent
regulation relates to the well known
fact that since the prohibition amend
ment went into effect there have been
many bogus transfers to British ana
Canadian registry of American vessels,
the ownership Of which remained in the
hands of American citizens. 1t Is the
contention of the British authorities, and
this is conceded by many officials here,
that a considerable number of the deep
sea smugglers flying the Union Jack in
reality are American owned vessels.
This question, which is one of the
most complicated phases of the snug
Cling traffic off American shores. was
emphasized in the Hughes note to Great
Britain. Mr.. Hughes suggested that no
transfer be validated by the British
Government Unless 1t had the o. X. of
the United States Shipping Board.
Great Britain Nefused to accept the
suggestion in is entirety. but compro-
missed to the extent that the authorities
would regard certificate from the
board as Il guarantee of good faith on
the part of the buyer and the seller
alike, but would not make it a sine qua
non of. legal transfer being effected.
Because of this refusal 1t is DOUBTED
II Great Britain will recognize the new
regulation in cases where a British sub
ject seeks to acquire an American ship.

City indebtedness

Wisconsin rejected a Constitutional
amendment authorizing any city, in ad-
dition to its authorized indebtedness, TO
incur Indebtedness for public improve
ments. Another proposal approved was
that a valid jury verdict in civil cases
may be based on the votes of a specified
number of the jury, not less than five-
sixths.
Nebraska. according 70 unofficial re-
turns, indorsed an anti-picketing law,
but refused to provide that delegates TO
political conventions be selected by eau
cuses and conventions instead of primary
elections.
The defeat of the proposed wine and
beer amendment in Ohio was by a much
smaller majority than the victory of the
wet referendum in Illinois. This was
explained by prohibition advocates as
due TO the fact that they had advised their
adherents not to vote on the question in
Illinois.
The prohibition vote In Ohio was $685.
4O4. against a negative vote of 7l2,2OS.
In Illinois returns from 5.121 of the
$3.50 precincts in the State showed 929,-
521 in favor OF prohibition modification
and 453,24S against any loosening of the
present restrictions.
The Illinois bonus proposal provided
for a s55, 900, 900 bond issue and direct
tax to paw the bonus. Iowa voted for the
issue OF $22, 100000 bonds for the same
purpose.
