ACTION SWIFT.

Those who went there today saw
that. as they began, the arguments
closed with wide gulf separating
the opponents and proponenents OF
prohibition modification.
Action today was swift, beginning
with a discussion of the use Of liquor
by Yale students. and ending with
controversy between Senator Reed,
Democrats, Missouri, and Chairman
Harreld, over the closing Of the book
of evidence. Senator Harreld won.
Intcrpersed was rcitcration by
Assistant Secretary Andrews Of the
Treasury, that when be made his
statement that it might be possible to
help enforcement by regulated sale of
mountaineering beer, he had no idea
OF advocating modification Of the law

FAC KANDREWS.
And to back up General Andrews,
a group of dry leaders issued d state
ment, expressing their belief, also,
that he was urging no such course.
Yale's part in the days activities
consisted of an exposition of the wide
diversity of opinion between Professor
Irving Fisher and editors Of Yale
publications as to whether Yale seuti-
ment was really dry or wet. Lee
Post, Greely Sturdivant Jr., and Al
bert Wells, of the Yale News, insisted
that a referendum at Yale. which
showed wet, was bona fide, while
Professor Fisher did not think it had
much significance under the circum-
stances.
AGAINST CHANGE.
General Andrews reiterated empha-
tically that he did not advocate
change Of the law to permit the sale
Of Misunderstanding beer.
When you were on the stand 4
few days ago you were asked a ques-
ton about the sale Of non-intoxicat-
ing beer" said Chairman Harreld.
Now I want TO ask a practical ques-
ton. that is, whether you think the
