MORE DRY LAWS
PUT in HOPPER
DURING MONDAY
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

WASHINGTON, April 26,-Another
batch of administration bills de-
signed to strengthen the federal arm
of prohibition enforcement was pre-
sented today to congress.
They supplement measures recent
ly introduced and are regarded by
General lincoln e. Andrews, in
charge of prohibition enforcement as
essential to full effort by the gov
ernment to dry up the liquor supply.
Chairman Cummins, of the senate
judiciary committee, became sponsor
for the measures, which deal with a
review of liquor permits, the search
and seizure Of ships within the r.
mile limit, and the employment OF
retired army. navy marine corps ana
coast guard officers and men by the
prohibition unit and authorizes ems
toms collectors to refuse to register
rraft that they believe are designed
as rum runners.
one section of one of the bills
which would give the prohibition
commissioner blanket authority to
issue regulations for the enforce
ment of the Volstead act aroused
wet senators, who said they would
oppose it with all the power at their
command Even some of the dry
senators said that such proposal
would have little chance of getting
through congress since it imposed
entirely too much authority on the
treasury
General Andrews said the provision
was not intended as "joker, as
some wet senator's thought, and was
practically the same as a provision
in the existing law except that it
might be a little broader in terms.
The sections read as follows:
The (prohibitfon) commissioner,
with the approval of the secretary
of the treasury, may issue such reg
ulations as may be necessary to
carry out to provisions of the ma
tional prohibition act
The new prohibition measures will
be referred to the senate judiciary
subcommittee, in about ten days.
There is little probability that any
of the wet bills will e reported,
but some senators said today that
there was equally as little probability
that any of the administration meas
ures could be enacted at this session.
Besides the bills to strengthen
the Volstead act there is pending
another bill to create a prohibition
bureau in the treasury under a
commissioner. This is expected to
be passed tomorrow by the house.

PLAN TO ABANDON BRANCH LINE

DDS of reduction, but they ali failed
portant improvement in the different
ial flotation process that has made
profitable the working over of the
Grand Central dump, and is being used
in the development of tho Arivaipa
lead property in Graham county.
BY means Of the new process he re-
covers Sc per cent of the lead, IS per
cent of the gold and 35 per cent Of
the silver left in the old tailings,
making a profitable operation. Con-
siderable Of the old dump is to be re-
claimed and he declares that the aban-
donment of the Southern Pacific line
from Benson to Fairbank, the only
rail transportation reaching the plant,
would ruin the work, put a stop to
valuable research work in further inn
provement in flotation that is being
carried on there, and throw a number
Of men out of work. Stopping the
work from lack of transportation
would also entail monetary loss to
himself and associates, all of whom
have invested their money and time
in the property which is dependent
for operation on the continued use Of
the line.
Douglas will appear before the corr
poration commission on April 30th, the
date set for the hearing, and present
reasons why, in his opinion, the ap-
plicatfon to abandon the line should
be denied.
