ACCUSES CONGRESSMEN
Dry Workers Insist That ''Dry Con- grcssmen" Are Fragrant Vlolators or 18th Amendment.

Washington, Jan. 6. -"Flagrant violation of the Nostead act by dry" congressman was declared to have added to the already over whelming contempt for the act by otherwise law-abidlng citizens" in a statement by w. H. Stayton, president of the association against the prohibition amendment.
 He referred especially, he said, to testimony in the divorce action brought by Representative Frank D. Scott of Michigan in which, he said, a witness testified that congressman brought liquor into the country from Panama.
 When the members of congress whose records are 100 per cent dry and whose political aspirations have always been supported by the anti saloon league violate the law they are responsible for enacting," he said, "how can we count upon the public to respect the law.
 Tt would seem that there would be an item In the current treasury department appropriation bill for the education of dry congressman to respect the law they are responsible for"

He consulted those well versed in the science of numismatics and familiar with the Hebrew lan- guage and was informed that the coin was original and was probably made after the death of Moses, about 149O B. c.
 So elated was he over the find that he had Q public exhibition of the coin and as a consequence his home was thronged with natives who to- gether with rabbis, tourists, and me- trologists, were anxious to sec 1t and who expressed the opinion that the
