Committee Has Provided Speakers
for Every Sort of Situation in
United States

Great care has been taken by the pro-
gram committee of the Anti Saloon
League Convention to make up speak
ers list of widely divergent character and
thus to present the whole prohibition sit
uation as clearly as possible.
To this end leaders in the League,
members of the National Congress, Gov
errors of states, District Attorneys, men
high in the Coast Guard service and the
law enforcement arm of the nation, lead
ing ministers, leaders of young people and
representatives indeed of every branch of
the government and every reform effort
have been chosen as speakers.
Still further the sessions themselves
have been highly specialized. OF course,
those who attend the Convention will find
interest in each of its sessions, but there
are sessions of special interest to special
groups. For instance, there is the preach
ers' meeting. The attacks of organized
liquor and crime against the churches will
be considered in this great mass meeting
of ministers of all denominations.
Then there is the young peoples rally,
which will be a rousing session for en-
thusiastic young men and women eager to
take their places in the fight for clean
government and clean living against the
criminal bootlegger.
There will be the business luncheon at
the Sherman Hotel Friday noon at which
busy men who cannot get away from their
business affairs for long sessions Of the
Convention will be present.
And so the list might be amplifed. In
fact there will be session for each class
and everybody will be interested in each
session.

OPEN TO EVERYBODY

Each session of the convention is open
to everybody and everybody is welcome.
Regularly appointed delegates are ex-
pected to register. Such delegates will
receive a beautiful souvenir badge and a
book Of the convention proceedings for
$l.0O, the cost of badge and book, and
will be counted in the contest for the
prize to be awafded to the state that has
the largest representation, delegates and
mileage considered.

Col. Callahan Also Is Executive
Secretary Of William J. Bryan
Association
Association

From Louisville, KY, there is coming
to the Chicago Convention as a speaker
Catholic layman and business man we'll
known throughout America. He is Col
onel Patrick Henry Callahan and to him
the dry forces in Kentucky, and indeed
throughout the United States, owe much.
Colonel Callahan is president and pro-
prietor of the Louisville Varnish Company
and originated the Ryan-Callahan plan of
partnership which includes profit sharing.
Mr.. Callahan was president of the Ma
tional Paint, Oil and Varnish Association
1o13-1914 chairman of the Commission on
Religious Prejudices, 1o14-1915-1916, and
chairman of the Knights of Columbus
War Work, 1o17-1o18 the latter two be-
ing considered the leading lay movements
in the Catholic Church in America.
President Wilson rendered him the
craftsmanship of the u. S. Tariff Commits
sion, and William Jennings Bryan nomi-
mated him for the presidency at the San
Francisco Convention. President Harding
appointed Colonel Callahan to represent
the United States at the international Al
cohol Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
Recently Colonel Callahan was one of the
nationally prominent men who met with
President Coolidge at breakfast to discuss
law enforcement.
Pope Plus XI, in 1922, named him a
Knight of St. Gregory. Mr. Callahan is
vice president of the National Catholic
Charities Conference and also vice presi-
dent of the Conference on Industrial
Problems.
Having served on the staff of couple
of Governors of Kentucky as Colonel, he
is everywhere known and called by this
title.
Col Callahan is executive secretary of
the William Jennings Bryan Memorial As
sociation.

Interest of business men of the United
States in prohibition and its enforcement
will be brought strongly to the fore at the
Chicago Convention. Among the speak
ers who will have a message of interest to
business men will be R. H. Scott of Lans-
ing. Michigan, manufacturer of REQ auto
mobiles.

GOOD PLACE TO MEET

Chicago has been counted a wet strong
hold. From Chicago much wet propa-
ganda emanates. Chicago has been the
scene of many encounters between the
wet and dry forces. Mayor Dever's firm
stand for law enforcement has challenged
the drys of America and indeed of the
world Chicago was the scene of the first
and most use OF the paddock against liq-
uor law violators. Chicago is where the
Washingtonian Home for Inebrates is To-
Gated, an institution that has been closed
for lack of patients. All in all Chicago
will present an ideal convention situation.

CECIL HOTEL IN ATLANTA
HAS NEW OWNERS

ATLANTA, Ga, March 12-Pur-
chase of the lease and furnishing of
the Cecil Hotel in Atlanta by the Ba-
ron-Wilson interests, who now oper-
ate the Robert Fulton Hotel here and
several other large southern hostelries
has been announced recently.
Figures in connection with the pur-
chase were not made public but as the
present lease of the Cecil has several
years to run it is understood that the
consideration was large. Approximate
$4,000 will be spent by the Baron
Wilson interests in Improvements.
James ]. Paige has been appointed
manager of the Cecil. He was at one
time manager oft he Cecil and has al
so managed the Hotel Plaza at Angus
ia, Ga, the Linwood at Augusta and
the Hotel Griffin at Griffin, Ga. It
is stated that Mr.. Paige will also con-
tinue to supervise the operation of the
Hotel Griffin.
Other hotels in the Baron-Wilson
chain are: the Hillman hotel, Birming-
ham, Ala; the Mecklenberg, Charlotte
N. c.; Exchange hotel, Montgomery
Ala. and the Terminal Hotel. Angus

the Robert Fulton in Atlanta upon its
completion last year.

MOTOR CARS CUT HEAVILY
INTO RAILWAY BUSINESS

ATLANTA, Ga, Marlh 10 That
the automobile and motor truck are
cutting heavily into the business of
the railways in the thickly settled east
is apparent from the action of one
large railway system, which is plann-
ing to discontinue about 100 miles of
its lines because of motor competition
according to report received IN At
lanta railroad circles.
The Boston and Maine railroads, the
report states, finding that motor traf--
fic has so reduced the business OF
some of its branch lines that it has de-
cided to discontinue the branch lines
in order to reduce the deficit and thus
improve the credit OF the company,
and incidentally enable it to make i'm
provements in the service OF its mann
lines that will enable it to better meet
the public demand.
The automobile of course, railway
officials here assert, can never take the
place of the railway. For long hauls
and for dependable everyday and ev-
erv night service the motor vehicle
cannot compete with the railways, but
it is playing havoc with the railway
travel and freight hauling for short dis
tances, and the railway systems prob
ably will be compelled to change their
methods to meet the new competition,
or in the case of some short lines quit
business entirely. The abandonment OF
railway lines in some sections of the
country on account of bus competition
may prove severe loss to many COM
munities. railway officials state.
