GRAHAM ATTACKS
STERNER DRY LAW
Submits Minority Report 0p-
posing Stalker BiII-Sees
Vindictivs Spirit.

The Stalker bill, proposing TO in
crease the penalties for violation of
the prohibition law, ought not to
pass, Chairman Graham Of the House
judiciary committee declared in q
minority report submitted yesterday,
signed by himself and Representative
Dominick. Democrat, Of South Caro-
lima. II violates two principles, said
the report-frst, the constitutional
provision against unusual punish
ment," and, second, the well estab-
lished and human element in the ad-
ministration of Justice which leaves
to the courts the adjustment Of pun
ishment TO fit the facts of each par
ticular case"
Hits at COmpuISion
1T is idle TO suppose" Mr.. Graham
continued, that increasing penalties
in ordinary criminal cases Will secure
obedience to the law. The bill seems
to proceed in the spirit of vindictive-
ness toward offenders and enlarges
the penalties to an unusual and IN
called for degree.
The greatest vice in the bill is the
striking out of the word or and In
seTting the word and which makes
1t compulsory for the court to impose
sentence of Imprisonment as well as
fine In every case covered By the bill
including the cases of first Offenders
Such a law, he argued, would cause
turies TO "balk at the conviction OF a
person charged with violation of the
Nnlstead act when the conviction
would inevitably be followed by d
prison sentence even In the case of
first offender. staining such an of
fender as a prison convict required
to pass through life as 'jall bird
Sees Widespread Application.
1T is not true. as claimed by the
proponents of this bill, that these
changes only apply to commercial
maiefactors," Mr.. Graham asserted
1T APPLIES to any violation of the
prohibition law, and is broad enough
to take in any minor case.
'One can readily see how the most
trivial case could arise under the
word 'manufa cture.' The farmer who
converts elder from his apples into
an Intoxicating liquor by simply al
lowing II to ferment would be manu-
featuring under the Volstead act An
individual who poured some alcohol
and mixed with II a few Juniper ber-
ries, thus making what has been
termed, I think, synthetic gin, also
would be guilty under the word man
ufRcture.'
Surely II is not wise to take away
the discretionary power OF the cour,
In dealing with such trivial cases.
The greatest trouble with the en-
forcement of prohibition is the atten-
tion that is given by court and prose
cutting officers 10 the arrest and
prosecution of trivial offenders, in
stead of confining their activities
strictly to those who. as 'bottleggers
or commercial dealers, violate the
law"

time yesterday. 1t was reported to
the Senate early in the week. Sem
ators are talking of looking further
into the conduct of Mr.. Stone in a
case in which he acted as counsel for
the j. P. Morgan executors against
James A. OWnbey, mining man from
colorado. As 1t happens, in this case
TOO, there was a change of jurisdIc-
ton brought about, from Colorado to
Delaware. 1t is charged that after
the executors had thrown OWubey's
company into the hands of a receiver
through their suit in Colorado,
further action had been brought
against him in Delaware to obtain a
judgment against him. Senator Over
man of North Carolina and Sem
ator Hefin of Alabama are intent
upon running down this matter
further.
A subcommittee of the judiciary
committee which has been consider
ing the nomination of Charles r.
Warren of Michigan to succeed Mr..
Stone as Attorney General VIII re-
port the nomination without recon-
mendat ton" to the full committee. The
subcommittee is headed by Senator
Borah of Idaho. This decision was
made after Senator Walsh, Democrat
Montana, had submitted a compflatfon
Of testimony given by Mr.. Warren before
congressional committees some years
ago in the sugar trust" Investigation
Before his nomination was sent to
the Senate Mr.. Warren himself bgought
the record in these proceedings to
Washington and placed them before
President Coolidge. who found them
entirely satisfactory.
The new development with rasDect
10 opposition to favorable Senate ac-
tion on Mr.. Stones appointment came
suddenly. and after Senator Overman.
Democrat, North Carolina, had had con-
sideration of the nomination deferred
until next Monday on the basis of the
inquiry made by the judiciary commit
zee in connection with Mr.. Stones ap-
pearance as counsel for executors of
the estate of the late J. Pierpont Nor
gan in a suit against James A Ownbey.
q Colorado mining man.
Senators would not discuss the mat
ter for publication, but there was con-
siderable talk about it in the cloak
rooms. and there were indications that
It would become the subject of Senate
debate
walsh Explains Stand.
Senator Walsh of Montana let if
be known today that he was not op-
posing confirmation of Attorney Gen
eral Stone as an associate justice of

efforts of the Department OF Justice

Corney Senator Walsh is, in the Dis
yrict of Columbia.
Senator Walsh does not approve,
however, of the attempt to bring Sem
ator Wheeler to trial here when the
jurisdiction of the case Is in Mon
tana. If there is any new charge
against Senator Wheeler which has
not been hitherto developed, as has
been intimated in some quarters,
neither Senator Walsh nor Senator
Wheeler has been apprised of the
matter.

Senator Pittman Speaks
Senator Pittman of Nevada briefly
addressed the conference this morn
Ing. explaining how the United States
Government had not Joined the
League of Nations and that there was
division OF opinion in the Senate over
the proposal to Join the World Court.
Senator Plttman received person
ally on the platform from the hands
of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. general
chairman of the conference, the Off
cial resolution adopted previously by
the conference urging the senate to
take Affirmative action on the pro-
posal to Join the World Court with
the Harding Hughes-Coolidge reser-
vations.
Faults of Press.
At the dinner last night Bruce
Bliven. editor, speaking from the sub
ject THE Press and Peace" criticized
newspapers of America for four sins
Of commission and four of omission.
Briefly. the sins of omission as listed
by Mr. Biven were; THE press falls
to spread the truth about other coun-
tries; II falls to encourage a peaceful
attitude on the part of Its Govern
ment: It falls TO tell the people the
truth about modern warfare. and II
falls TO encourage existing inter
national efforts toward peace and
conciliation.
The other four sins OF the press, he
said. were: The press allows situa-
ton to drift toward war without say
Ing anything about 1t; some papers
encourage a beliicose attitude by their
government; in Europe, particularly.
the press is largely tool of the gov
ernment, and during a war, even In
the United States, the press acts as
conductor of the symphony OF hate"
Faults or Readers.
For all these conditions" Mr.
Bliven said. however, "the editors
are only partly to blame. We. the
readers, are at least equally respon-
sibie. Newspapers are made. In the
last analysis, to please US. 1t is,
therefore, in our hands TO produce
whatever sort of press we please by
the simple process of spending our
pennies Cor good papers and encour-
aging them to be better, instead of
buying bad ones and encourag ging
them to be worse. The press Is our
press. 1t is for us to say whether
1t shall be an engine of war or an
aid to peace"
Prot Pittman Potter of the Uni
veTsity of Wisconsin declared 1t
would be helpful to keep close watch
OF diplomatic discourse in order 70
nip possible wars In the bud. This
method he thought more effective
rather than trying to get at the So
called fundamental or underlying
causes of war.
Replying to questions about women
in the diplomatic service. Prof.
Potter qualified a statement that
women might enter the service by
explaining that the matter of salaries
would be difficult to adjust, as in
Copsulates some persons have to be
paid more than others. with men
you can get away with that" he
said, "the necessary explanation viii
be accepted. But, whether we like it
or not, the same thing Is not possible
with women"
