Washington, March 23.-Debate on
prohibition will reach flood tide in
Washington between April and II,
when vets and drys will appear be-
fore a senate judiciary subcommittee
to testify on five modification pro-
posals.
The vets will hold the floor dur
ing the first week and the prohibi-
tionists will take the second period.
The judiciary committee has ac-
cepted the recommendation of its
subcommittee of five that public
hearings be held and has appointed
Senator Means, republican Colorado,
chairman. The full committee ap-
proved, as well, the recommendation
that only modification bills be cOnsid-
cred at the hearing and that the meas
/ Iure by Senator Edwards, democrat,
New Jersey, to repeal the Volstad act,
be pigeOnholed. Passage of that act
would leave the government without
means of enforcing the prohibition
amendment to the constitution.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana
raised the only objection in the COM
mittee to the senate rights, arguing
that they were sought merely to en-
able wet interests to spread propa-
lganda.
The wet leaders themselves hold
no hope that any of the modifca-
ton bills will be favorablly repre-
sented but they urged the hearings
be explained, so that interested of
ficials, educators, ministers and Oth'
ers could give congress the benefit
of their views as~to how the prOhi-
bitiOn lawse should be revised in or
der to make enforcement easier.

LOCAL TALENT TO
PRESENT ''KINDLTNC"
Play Has Misfortune When First Civ
en- to the Public But Finally Comes
Before the People in a Blaze of
GlOry-PrOceeds to Go Towards
Rest Room in Library.
Bv Alice Young

The play "Kindling" will be pre-
sented at the Farmer-Labor Temple
on the evening of April 5th by a
group of local players. "Kindling''
was written by Charles Kenyon, a
young newspaper man on the staff of
the San Francisco Examiner. 1t
was first presented at Daley's Thea
tire in New York City in December,
1911. This theatre had ceased to be
a popular playhouse and the play
had the misfortune to open on the
night when Ethel Barrymore and
Nazimova were also being presented
in new plays at more fashionable the
atres. This fact, coupled with the one
that "Kindling" had been unadver-
.tised in a city where a play must be
widely advertised to win good audi
|ences, resulted in few reviewers be
ing present. The powers in charge
of the fate of young plays looked al
the scanty pile of receipts and 81
it for the discard heap. But one day
soon after three men, one a novelist
one a playwright, one an author Of
books about the theatre chanced tt

SEN. BORAH LEADS FIGHT FOR PEOPLE

Washington, March While
world court leaders and the state de-
partment maintained a strict silence,
the senate irrecOncillables shOwered
condemnation upon the league of ma
tiOn's decision to invite the United
States to a conference over American
reservations to the world court.
They declared the United States
could not attend such a conference
without the consent of the senate and
termed it a plain indication that
Americas entry to the court had car
ried the country into the league thru
the "back door,"
Division of Opinion.
There is a division of opinion
among constitutional authorities as to
whether the state department can
send such a negotiating commission
without the express authorization cf
the senate.
1t is the contention of the irrecon-
ciables that the league, as such, has
nothing to say about the drastic SEN
ate reservations. They are for the
consideration, rather, of the individ-
ual nations comprising the league.
One CT the reservations In fact spe-
cifcally provides that Americas ad-
herence shall be contingent upon
each of these forty-odd nations indi-
vidually agreeing in writing to accept
the. conditions imposed by the. senate.
State Department Mum.
Meanwhile, the state department
and the pro-cOurt senators generally
refused to comment ON the situation.
Both the pro-courters and the ir-
reconciliables have been taking their
case "to the country" since the SEN
ate acted last month, and in a num-
Der of states the court has been made
an acute issue in the Forthcoming
primaries. This is particularly true
in Illinois and Wisconsin, where Sen
atOrs Mckinley and LenroOt are un-
der fire because of their votes in fa-
vor of American adherence.

Marsters wore a gloomy look as
the jury returned to the court room
after 80 hours deliberation refusing
to convict Riser. The jury stood 8
fer acquittal and for conviction.
Everybody in Lewistown but the
County Attorney, Col. Marsters and
the four jury men who stood for con-
victiOn seemed to be satisfied with the
verdict. The evidence in the case
showed that Federal Agent Earl
KOehler and Policemen Frank Draper
and Curt Coolidge followed Riser and
Mrs. Riser to their apartments in
Lewistown on the night of November
oath last. The Federal officer saw
a package under Riser's arm which
he imagined was whiskey Without
having a search warrant in their pos
session they broke down the door of
the apartment when Riser fired and
killed the policeman. The Federal
man ducked when he saw cold lead
coming from Riser's gun. When the
apartment was searched later no H.

View Third Party With Concern
While the men, who fcregather in
such places as the Placer lobby, do
not concede that a Farmer-Labor Par
ty ticket has any chance of receiving
a large vote in the coming election,
they talk about it with interest and
with some concern. Up till recently
they did not consider a third party
ticket would be put in the field. They
thought that the defeat cf the ticket,
headed by Frank Edwards, two years
ago effectually put an end to third
party talk and that those who tried
the adventure then would work out
their future political destinies within
the folds of the republican and de-
mOcratic parties.
