RUM REFERENDUM
OFFERED BY VETS
Stayton Proposes Congress
Members Let Anti-drys Poll
Their Districts.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An offer to reputable" members
of Congress to poll their constituents
on the prohibition question was made
today by the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment.
The proposal, announced by William
H. Stayton, founder and chairman of
the association. would apply only to
Representatives of high caliber who
their constituencies want them" The
wet organization would pay the cost
of the polls. which would include
every registered voter in the districts
concerned. and the cooperating mem
ber of Congress would have the right
to name the ballot counters.
Think Many Misguided.
There are many members of the
House of Representatives, Mr.. Stay.
ton said, who are personally opposed
to the Volstead act. They vote drv
on all prohibition questions because
they believe their constituents want
them to vote dry. We believe many
of them are misguided in this matter
and are anxious to help them ascer-
tain the true sentiment of their
voters
Mr.. Stayton, who has been selected
as spokesman for modiicationists in
both Houses to appear before the
coming Senate committee hearing on
pending modification bills, did not go

posed national referendum on modi.

members were discussing smoking nv
women and cider drinking by farmers.
Says Leaders Drink.
Judge Ritchie, who told the com.
mittee that although prohibition en-
forcement had caused him much
trouble, his district was as clean as
any rural community, added that he
knew OF men Of high standing who
took a drink when they got the
chance.
In the House several members talk
ed of the high cost Of prohibition en-.
forcement, and Representative Weller.
Democrat, New York, remarked that
the contention that women will smoke
If they can't get liquor is true. He
added that the farmer has his cellar
stocked with cider that is getting
harder all the time.
New enforcement regulations issued
at the Treasury would place cereal
manufacturers under bonds of $4,000

POL|CEWOMEN BILL
IS GIVEN APPROVAL
Subcommittee Orders Favor
able Report After Long

Favorable report on the police
women's bureau bill. which proposes
substantive law for the existing Wom-
ems Bureau in the Police Department
with largely increased personnel, was
today ordered by the subcommittee
on police and f1remen of the House
District committee. This report will
be laid before the full District COM
mittee next Wednesday. 1t is not
probable. however. that the full COM
mittee will act promptly so as to get
this measure on the calendar for the
next District day in the House.
The vote was to / in executive
session on reporting this bill. Repre-
sentative Rathbone, Republican, of
Illinois, chairman of the subcommit-
tee, with Representative Gibson, Re
publican. of Vermont, author of the
measure, and Representative Blanton,
Democrat, of Texas, voted in favor OF
the report. Representative Hammer,
Democrat, of North Carolina, while
making it plain that he is not opposed
to the establishment of a policewom-
ems bureau, voted against reporting
the bill as it stands. Not one woro
was changed by the subcommittee.
Mr.. Hammer submitted. ''out of
courtesy" q proposed amendment
submitted to him by Mrs. Giles Scott
Rafter, president of the District Con-
gress of Parent Teacher Associations.
Two Amendments Considered.
Chief amendments considered were
those to eliminate children from the
jurisdiction and control Of the Wom-
ems Bureau, and to omit from the bill
a definition of the powers of the po-
licewomen, other than ''as contained
in the Police Manual"
The hearings have shown ii at the
opposition to this legislation comes
principally from Judge Kathryn Sell

who are protesting that the Women's
Bureau is overlapping the Juvenile
Court jurisdiction, and interfering.

was enlivened by typical Hammer
Blanton exchange of compliments,

africa Is Quiet After Night of Tur-

AFRICA, Chile, March 27.-Regis-
trations began this morning for the
Tacna-Arica plebiscite, with the Peru
vians absent from the board and
the Chileans and Americans acting.
The registrations were started de-
spite the fact that both Chile and
Peru have agreed for the time being
to forego the holding of a plebiscite
pending an attempt at direct settle
ment OF the dispute over the SOW
ereignty of the territory through the
good Offices of the United States.
The Peruvians' decision to absent
themselves from the registration
boards is understood to have been
recalled during the night in conse-
quence of last nights differences Of
opinion between the Chileans and
Americans regarding the terms on
which the Chileans had accepted the
good offices of the American Govern
ment. The Americans participated in
the registrations in the absence of
any order to the contrary from the
plebtscitary commission.
africa Marked by Calm.
africa was quiet this morning, all
the usual activities proceeding regu-
larly and without the gathering of
any crowds. The first voters were
ready for registration the moment
the boards opened, and the proceed
ings began without hitch.
Yesterdays announcement that a
direct settlement of the issue between
Chile and Peru would be substituted
for the plebiscite. at least for the time
being, was received with hostility by
many Chileans, and fear was ex-
pressed in many quarters that the sud-
den reversal of the procedure might
culminate in serious rioting and at
tacks upon Peruvia1s, especially in
Tacna.
The Chilean authorities took pre-
cautions against disturbances, and ex-
pressed the intention of landing men
from warships in the event of unto
ward scenes.
Reports that the plebiscite COM
mission lad intended to interrupt the
registration spread throughout the
city last night, exciting the Chilean
elements. Groups Of them assembled
around the house of Gen. William
Lassiter, u. s. A. president of the
commission. in the Velasquez bar
ranks, where 1t was believed a plebi-
scite meeting would be held, and also
around the house of Samuel Claro-
Lastarria, the Chilean delegate, de-
manding definite information as to
whether the registration had really
been postponed and the plebiscite
abandoned.
Urges Calm Be Restored.
Senor Claro -Lastarria returned
home after a conversation with Gen.
Lassiter while the crowd was thick
est around his door. He announced
that the registration would be held
today and ordered the people to be
calm. to await developments and dis
play discipline and good sense.
1t is understood that the Chileans
specifically mentioned in communica-
tions exchanged between Santiago
and Washington during February
that the commissions activities
should continue pending efforts at
diplomatic settlement.
