CLAIMS NATION IS
 WET BY CLOSE VOTE.
Liberal Dduces Wine Would
 Carry by 2,5OO,ooo

Washington, Jan. if.-oa the third anniversary of national prohibition in the United States. Captain ", II, siayton, founder and executive head of the Association Against the Prohi, hitien Amendment. declared today that the prospect of modifying the dry laws grew better and better every day in every way
 Based on election results in eight important states Captain stayten made the claim that there was yot- ing majority Of s.sAo.o0 in the eoun- try in favor Of the manufacture and sale of beer and light wines, He es- timated that the voting in Ohio. Cali fafnia, Massachusetts, Illinois. New York. Maryland and Missouri showed an approximate wet majority of near ly i.o00. .ooo. Captain stayton said that there were "unmistakahle esi- dences" Of a general change in senti- ment since the dry jaws went into tf- feet.
 After three years of unsteady reign, old King Prohibition is fast tottering to a fall" he said. During that period the tyrsnt has had his twin fayorites. the Anti-saloon League and the bootleggers. To please one ha has sacrificed the liberties of the people. while to tho other he has turned over the revenues Of the state.
 Blames Anti.saloon League.
 Just three years ago the Anti Saloon League succeeded in imposing It's tyranieal laws upon an unsuspeet- Ing people. by which they were de- privcd of part Of their liberties. Since that time. they have had no complete chance to pass on the que ton.
 Happily. however. there are most encouraging evidences of a changed sentiment. This has been steadily crystalizing and 1t will be only mat ter of time until the voice of the peo- pls will be made mandatory by their vote.
 The Anu-Saloon League has con- sistcntly fought anything that savers of referendum on the issue. Where 1t has been forced. officials of the league have distorted the returns. In a speech in New York city last Sat urday. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counSei iOr the leaBuc, maue ine statement that in every instance where the people had faced the issue of legaiizing beer and wine, the pro- posal had been rejected by . large majority. Nothing is further from the facts. Let us take stock:
 Despite the opposition of the League, there has been a virtual ref erendum in ore form or another in eight states. These divide themselves into two groups. In one group the wet and dry issue was directly passed on at the polls on Nov z, 1922. Tn the second group, it was indirectly passed upon.
 "The result in the first of these groups. in which the states voted di- rectly on the prohibition issue. was as follows: Ohio. dry majority 200,o00: California, dry majority 50,o0o; Massachusetts, wet majority 113,000; Illinois. wet majority 520,000; net wet majority 3S3,S00."

WOMAN, 70, BURNS
 ID DEATH COOKING.
New Haven Flremen Make Crue-
 some Discovery

New Haven. Jan, lI,-Miss Anna Daley, 70, who lived in a room on the third fioeF in the home of Nathan T. burned to death when her clothing ignited from kerosene stove over which she was cooking her dinner at i2;4S yesterday noon,
 Miss Daley was alone on the third floor, The other roomers, three men. were away at work. The Garhams living on the first floor. had just fin- ished eating, Going into the hall. the Gorham children saw smoke, Their father. believing the fire to be in the basement. rushed down the stairs to the cellar,
 Finding nothing wrong he hasten- cd upstairs and saw flremen of En- zine company 2 carrying chemical ap- paratus to the third floor. A passer- by had turned in the alarm. Fol- lowing the firenlen Gorham was told that person had burned to death.
 In the small room. 10 by feet. occupied by Miss Daley. flames had licked the curtains at the lone win dow. charred the coverings on the white iron bed. and streaked the bun plaster walls black. The door was stripped of its yarnish. Close 10 the window stood the kerosene stove on the floor and beside tho stove rested a pot of boiled cabbage. which Miss Daley had been preparing to eat.
 Mrs. Nathan Gorham was a dis tant cousin of Miss Daley who was born in Ireland. Formerly Miss Dal- ey was a dressmaker in New York. She had lived with the Gorhams for the last two and one-half years. Miss Daley lived on tho income from pro- perty that she owned at 27 First ave- nuc, West Haven. She also possessed a lot adjoining the above property in Second avenue. and had a small saw ings account in New York bank.
 The Gorhams said that several times Miss Daley had been confused while going to visit friends or to shop. and had been escorted back to her room at the Gorhams. It is thought that she may have become dizzy yesterday, and that her cloth- Ing had come in contact with the kerosene stove.
 Nieces of Miss Daley will arrive to- day from New York to take charge of the body.

Adventures encountered in climbing the ftimalayas, crossing the plains af fhihei, tfayersing Asiaiie deserts, through vast salt plains. over glaciers. etc, were FeeanRted and illustrated last evening hy Professor Ellsworth Huntington, af Yale. to the south Congregational church Brotherhood.
 Professor Huntington spent years teaching. travelling and exploring in the Far Fast and has a vast store of knowledge of life and conditions among the people of India and China. He took as his subject. Chinese furkestan," and illustrated it with stereoptieon views made from nhato- graphs taken while exploring that country, Places in and about the fhibetan Plateau where no white man had traversed before him, were shown.

 Queer customs by priests Of ofien- tai cults and mediaval methods of agriculture were described. Mountain peaks. as much aa e0,000 feet high. so high that animals could not climb them because Of difficulty of breath ing. were sealed and photographed by the speaker. Visits were made to and photographs taken Of strange nomadic tribes which had never seen n white man and either reared or threatened him.
 Gorgeous ceremonials of welcome by Chinese mandarins werc shown and told of. Startling mixtures Of foodstuffs. such as tea which in- ciudcs among other things soda and rancid butter. or meals made from bowl -of sour milk. were discussed.

.BURRITT BANK HAS
 NEW THRIFT PLAN
(continued from First Page)

scrvance Of the week. by fixing it SO
 that every new depositor who opens an account with fifty cents at that bank will be given credit for one dol- lar. A dollar in savings is selling for fifty cents to those who have no pre- vious account in tho bank. How's
 that. pretty fair? We arc printing a coupon on an inside page. You must clip this coupon Gust like a plutocrat clips bonds) and, having raked np fifty cents somewhere. take 1t around to the bank with the fifty cents. There you will be given a nice little savings bank book with the statement that you have deposited dollar written in its pages. Of course you must agree to deposit something more before the end of six months, if 1t Is only fifty cents. and you must agree not to withdraw the dollar as soon as it is deposited. That is simple enough to understand. If we wanted to give away so cent pieces it could be done without giving you a receipt for it.
 When you have taken advantage of Olt COupOn yoh SdiIhot hoS uhobhpi' Your clipping days are ended until your account is large enough to buy some bonds. Simply to inculcate the idea of thrift this. fifty cents is being given to you, during thrift week.
 Somebody has figured it out to the effect that Adam and Eve could have deposited one cent in bank. if there were banks then. and, providing they lived until now and had received in- terest compounded semi-annually they could have collected enough money to break any old bank at all. We don't expect you to live several thousand years, but the money you are depositing will be a hundred times as much and you should, if you let it ride long enough. collect a reason able sum. Of course you will not break the bank. It is worth trying anyhow, the savings part of it, we so look around and find the coupon on this page and scrape up the fifty cents and take it to the bank. i Become a bloated bond holder, some day. It's easy to start, anyhow.

GrantWood Tailor
Rescues Boy

Samuel Drucker, the Grantwood
tailor, played the hero last Sunday
morning at Sea Gate, Coney Island.
Mr.. Drucker, who was staying at
that resort with some friends, went
swimming with his two daughters at
secluded part of the beach in the
early morning. After they had been
in the water for a half hour, one of
Mr.. Drucker's daughters noticed
small boy clutching wildly at pair of
water wings which were rapidly float
ing away. The boy who was far out,
several feet above his head, became
excited and started to sink and call
for help. The girl called to her father,
who had not noticed the loss of the
water wings or heard the cries. for
help.
The boy was going down for the
second time when Drucker reached
him. After subduing the lad, who
struggled as a drowning person, who
is in panic, will always do, Drucker
brought him to shore.
Mr.. Drucker revived the lad with
artificial methods of respiration and,
after few minutes the boy opened
his eyes, got up and said, Thank you
Mister!" Then he beat it for all he
was worth.

This office has absolutely no juris

Sunday, when the place is only open
to receive prisoners" the woman was
informed. There is justice of the
peace near your home and you car
apply to him, he may be able to hell
