during last night massacred four
men and one woman and in addition
burned the homes of five Prote5tants
in the Boosbrook district This was
the first attack by Sim Feiners

invaders from the northern side Of

In the marine and fisheries COM
mittee of the House yesterday the
drastic dry amendments to the ship
subsidy bill -one forbidding the dis
tribution of any part of the subsidy
to wet ship, and the other pro-
viding fine of $4,000 for each
offense for American ships serving
liquor were rejected and the bare
measure was reported to the House.

Present Plans Of Drvs.
At least it Is not the present in
tention Of the drys to inject the
prohibition issue into the subsidy
bill, according to some Of the lead
ers. This statement suggests that
President Harding has prevailed uplt
on them to avoid complicating the
situations, but another theory is adj
vanced to account for the surprising
development Alsurprising because Of
the intensity with which the drys
denounced the floating salooh. This
theory is tlfats the opp0sitfof .tcystfe
subsidy itself is so deepseated that
lit would be unfair as we'll as i'm
polite to subject the opponents Of
the measure to the pain of voting
down a dry amendment when they
vote against a subsidy. The Demo-
Gratis, who, almost to a man, are
against the bonus to the ship own
|ers, likewise figure largely in the
dry column: the same is true Of the
agricultural bloc.
1t was on this account, it was re-
ported that the committee rejected
the amendments and not because
they approved Of the selling of
Liquor on American ships, or because
they wanted to dodge the dry ques-
ton 1t is reasonably sure that some
prohibitionist will spring an amend

to "a vote the drys would support it
in the committee of the whole, and
those who do not want a subsidy
at all will vote against the passage
of the general BILL including the
amendment If such an amendment
does come up it will probably be
the Edmunds proposal to fine ship
$4,000 for the first two offenses.,
and close our ports against her for
Ia third offense.
