PROHIBITION TO STAY
Texas Governor Ridicules Idea That
 Inv VIII Be RepeaIed

CIAUTAUQUA, N. Y, August H. "It is the solemn duty of each state to help enforce the prohibition amendment as well as the entire con- stitution," Gov. Pat NJ. Neff of Texas said here today at the annual chau- tauqua exercises He ridiculed claim that because prohibition laws are violated, they should be repealed. No law should be repealed because it is broken, he declared.
 Instead of repeating the prohibit tion laws they should be strengthened and perfected" MT. Neff said. "The prohibition amendment was adopted by the people after full and free dis cussion. It was adopted by precincts, by counties by states and finally by the nation. The national prohibition amendment written into the constitu- tion by the people is there to stay.
 The American people will never take a backward step by repeating gthe amendment. The movement for repeal of prohibition Is not a trial of the prohibition amendment but trial of the American Republic and all law"

DODGES TAXES THAT
 SHE IS UNFOLDING
British Candidate Finds Self in
 Peculiar Position

London, Nov. 30.-Curious to learn how the Countess of Warwick regards herself and family in the light of the capital levy which she, as the labor socialist candidate for Warwick and bennington entirely upholds, the anti laborite Daily Mail sent reporter to interview her ladyship at one of her country mansions.
 The interviewer found the countess seated in a panelled hall surrounded by costly furniture, bric-a-b brac and old armor. She was wearing a pearl necklace.
 She genially admitted what is pub ly known, namely that the encum- bered Warwick estates have been transferred for the ifetimes of her husband and herself to limited li- ability company whose capital. as be- longing to company rather than an individual, would be exempt from the capital levy according to the explana- tory statements published in behalf of her political party.
 Is Dodging TaXs.
 Thus, says the Daily Mail, it would be impossible to derive any revenue for the state from the 16,674 acres of land and the other property held in the name of the Earl of Warwick, and when the earl and countess die their estates. relieved of death duties by life insurance policies, will pass un- .encumbered to. their son, Lord Brooke.
 To the remarks Of the interviewer on this point, the countess naivcly re- piled: Even if the estates were not vested in company, they could not be touched, being protected by the law of entail"
 Another titled landowner the Duke Of Atholl, is in a less happy position. according to his own statement. Speaking at Dalkeith in behalf of his wife, who is the conservative candi- date for Kinross, the duke was inter rupted by heckler who shouted, We are going to take your money!" To this remark the duke replied that he had no money to take and that he was so poor he could not afford to live in his own mansion: he and his wife were dwelling in small cottage.

Steubenville. O.. Nov 30. - East bound Pennsylvania passenger train No. 1254, known as the Gotham Limited, St. Louis to New York. was wrecked at the east end of Colds tunnel, about seven miles east of this city at 6:50 a. m., today. Six of the nine coaches, including sleeping cars, left the rails, but none of them turned over and according to railroad offi- cials none of the passengers were seriously injured.
 The wreck was caused by broken rail, according to railroad officials. The train. travelling fifty miles an hour, was clearing the tunnel when the third car of the train struck tho bad rail. It left the track and those

behind were also pulled off the track. The cars ran along the ties for about 100 yards, but remained upright al- though the truck were pulled from under the last three Pullmans, and they skidded along the tracks.
 The fact that it was an all-steel train undoubtedly saved the lives of a hundred or more passengers, off ciais said.
 As soon as word of the wreck was received here, a relief train was made up and sent to the scene. Passengers were pirked up. and brought to this city and later sent to their destina- tions east of here. As far as could be learned, the worst injured person was man with a sprained ankle.
 The wreck tied up both cast and west bound tracks.
 Arrangements are being made to reroute other through trains.
