DRYS' IGNORING
 STRAW VOTE COUNT
Not Interested in Poll, They Say
 Have Busy Week-End

New York, March 22 Pl-Prohi- bition was defended as great ad- vance in the moral history of the United States and attacked as "un- workable" and in need of modifca- ton in an unusually busy week end of speeches and statements on the question.
 Official notice of agitation TO- garding modification has already been taken at Washington. sub committee of the senate judiciary committee voting to hold public hearings. The matter will be de- clded definitely by the full commit tee early this week.
 .The board of temperance and public morals of the Methodist Epis- copal church, In statement at the capital. discounted results of news paper "straw-votos" and asserted that the drys were ignoring them. The best referendums on prohibition, said the board, are recent congress sional elections. which "drys have won with monotonous regularity by overwhelming maiorities."
 In New York, the Rev. Dr. James Empringham. national secretary of the Church Temperance society de- livered another attack on the en- forcement law of St. Luke's Episco- pal church.
 He told of disguising himself and visiting speak -easics' and other places where liquor could be ob- talned in all parts of the country. II was this investigation. he said, which convinced him that prohihi- ton was "an utter failure"
 Prohibition As Failure
 Prohibition has failed" he said, "because, the people of this country never really believed in it. Tn Rochester there are 100 more 'speak-easies' today than there were saloons before prohibition. In an- other city in an area where there used to be three barrooms, IF 'blind-tigers' were found in an hours search"
 Dr. Empringham said that his total abstinence both from liduor and tobacco had hampered him greatly in his search for violators of the law. At various times he posed as a commercial traveller an an- alytical chemist and a warrant. Dr. Lee w. Beattic, for twentv- three years a welfare worker in the sums, however told his congrega- tlon of the immense improvement in conditions among the poor since prohibition calls for charity in his district have virtually disappearcd. ho said since the law went into ef- feet.
 Federal Attorney Emory R. Buck her or New York, at Fordham Manor church, again advocated moditjca- tion of the Volstead act to permit each state to decide for itself the alcoholic content of legal light wines and beer. A similar solution of the enforcement problem was proposca Tn statement by William IT, Hirst formerly counsel for the Brewers association.

 While many of tho gains at. tributable 10 prohibition have per- sisted and arc doubtless permanent a sharp reversal of the favorable trend occurred in 1920" he said. "We shall never make progress in citizenship by inducing people to obey laws because they are laws. Every law must win It's way with the public on its own merit"
 In Portland, Maine, at Memorial services for General Neal Dow, father" of the Maine prohibitory law passed in 1885. Dr. Ernest II.

 Conditions Improved
 Dr. Clarence True Wilson. secre- tary of the Methodist board of temperance and public morals in an address at Berwick, Pa, credited prohibition with saving America from tho evils of postwar depres- sion suffered by European countries.

comes to Us tlis morning 10 com. mend tho efforts of the DeMolay, 10 speak to their sons and certain of their fathers,
 ''rho old adago has 1t that 'llo Is wise father who knows his own son. But, as matter of fact, this Is only half the story. We arc too often inclined 10 give more than their duo share of wisdom to tho sons And being myself In the position of both son and father 1t has been revealed 10 mo that the reverse Is true also. 'Ho is q wise son, who knows his own father.'
 Keeping in mind, therefore, tho differing but in no sense irrecon- clahlc viewpoints of youthful sons and mature fathers, let us see what we can suggest as a means to better understanding between tho generations. Wo are taking 1t for granted here that as Christians and churchmcn we arc both as fathers and as sons equally sincere in our search for the deeper things of life, the realities of the spirit, the values that mako for better living now, here. and hereafter. To bring the matter briefly before us let me suggest to these fathers present that -- if they would un. dcrstand their boys alright -- they must exercise great patience, real trust and wise affection.
 "To the sons, sitting here in these front seats. let me suggest if they would read their fathers alright, there Is necessity for the exercise of greater tolerance, an increased sense of responsibility and a demonstration of loyalty.
 We have said that the first necessity for better understand ing between tho generations was great patience. And what is the reason for initial prescription Simply this: Fathers must learn to be patient with sons because this big job of heinz a father cannot be accomplished in a hurry.
 If man would know his son, ho must make him the subject of perpetual study. I use the word perpetual advisedly. There is no discharge in the war of being a father and no vacation either! There will be moments when you would like to resign from the en- terprise but that too is impos- sible. And the boy is continually changing Just about the time you think you have him all figured out, something happens to change the focus,
 Many fathers fails as fathers be. cause they do not take their sons into their own confidence and there fore fail to gain the confidence of those same sons. Boys are very quick to take in the essential merits and demerts of parents to size up also the relative importance of fath- CTS place and social standing in the community. They receive and pass on the reflected judgments of other boys and other fathers.
 Tt behooves us-as fathers then to take our children into our con- fldence and help them 10 realize what is expected of them in time. In this matter of trust. also, l be- licve fathers make a grevious mis- take in freeing their sons at home from all sense of obligation and re- sponsibilty. Give your boy some- thing to do at home--if it is nothing but sweeping the walk or sitting the ashes. Teach him to take daily re- sponsibility for d definite job and thereby you help him not only to Tighten your burden, but to respect himself and to carry his own burden.

night to discuss the charges brought
against Tyrus Raymond Cobb and Iris

troit and Cleveland teams
Commissioner Landis has the entire
matter in charge" he said.
Asked if Cobb's statement to the ef-
feet that Dutch" Leonard, former De-
troit pitcher, had been paid $4,000 for
information he had gathered together
the Detroit club owner replied:
II don't know. Maybe they paid
him for the letters if they couldn't
get them any other way"
Navin insisted that Leopard was let
out because his pitching arm was bad
Cobb was responsible for this move
he admitted. but said that he and 9TH
ers had been consulted before Leonard
was released. He did promise how
ever, to say something when I have
gone into the matter more fully" Any

Speaker arrived here tonight from
Chicago. He emphatically denied the
charges by Dutch" Leonard, former
Detroit pitcher, made public by Com

papermen that "if there was any agree

Speaker seemed undisturbed by

'CHlLEANS HISS
~. S. GEN E R AL
.ON THURSDAY

AFRICA, Chile, June 17.-Generai
William Lassiter, American president
Of the Tacna-A africa plebiscitary COM
mission was Kissed today by crowd
of Chileans as he appeared at the
window of his house, but the demon
stration was quickly quelled by the
Chilean authorities. Later heavy
guard of soldiers , and sailors was
placed around General Lassiter's house
as well as those of other members
of the American commission.
The demonstration occurred after a
news vendor of peruvian paper had
been attacked by dock workers near
General Lassiter's house. The ven
doris plight appeared critical when
Agustin Edwards, the Chilean rep
resentative on the commission inter-
fered and rescued the man who was
found to require medical attention
Senior Edwards ordered the crowd
to move on. They, obeyed his request
but gathered around General Lassi-
ter's house where they gave vent to
American feelings.
The leaders of the crowd shouted
insults to America General Lassiter,
hearing the tumult appeared at his
window upon which the crowd Kissed
him and shouted at him.
The military authorities then in
terfered and ordered soldiers and
sailors on duty to maintain order.
General Lassiter is tentatively plan
ming to leave africa on Sunday when
other American members of the com-
mission will be placed aboard the
Galveston on which General Lassiter
will sail.
Plans have been made by patriotic
organizations here to hold a great
popular demonstration for the an
nexation of Tacna and africa by Chile.
Registers will be opened for the en-
rollment of citizens in support of
annexation. These rolls later will be
sent to President Figueroa of Chile.
Committees to work in all the dis
tricts of the territory also have been
appointed.
A telegram has been sent to Presi-
dent Figueroa saying that the resi-
dents of Tacna- africa demand Chilean
sovereignty and asking that "Tacna-
africa, which is inhabited by Chileans,
be annexed definitely and forever to
the national unity of the glorious
republic of Chile
