Sir William Stavert of Montreal At Wash- ington To Tell How Dominion Govt. Man. ufactures And Sells Liquor.

Washington. April 10 R-The vets turned 10 Canada today for evidence to put in the record or inc senate prohibition hearing in sup port of their fight for modification oG the Nolstead get.
 Sir William Stayert of Montreal, former member of the Quebec liquor control commission. was the princi- pal witness called for this phase of The hearing, since he is familiar with tho working of the "Quebec plan" ot government manufacture and sale of liquor.
 Far Behind Schedule
 Despite one night session, the acaring was already Il hours behind schedule when yesterdays proceed ilgs ended, and indications today were that presentation of the vets case would consume several days next week. Under the schedule call ing for tour-hour sessions, the vets would have concluded today and the rirys would have begun their argu- ments and testimony Monday but other business has forced the con- fuittee to curtaii the allotted time almost every day.
 An outgrUwth of the demand of senators opposing the Nolstcad act for a comprehensive inquiry into conditions attributed to it's opera ton, the hearing began week ago with q caries of modification propo- sals as its basis. Examination of witnesses has been confined from the beginning to members ot the senate Judiciary subcommittee conducting t, and this undoubtedly las elim- iuatad much of the fireworks that might have been expected if close lighting across the table between the vets and drys had been permitted

 While bank earnings turned up- ward last year, it was not observed that any bank was ill the company of the newcomers. As bankers know, earnings of banks are moder- ate. but there is a widespread popu- lar notion that their money-making capacity is enormous.

Decision Is That Governor Has No Vote In Council, Therefore Could Not Legally Break Tie Ballot On Officials Guilt

Augusta, Me, April 10 P}-sher- iht Henry F, Cummings of kenncbec county cannot legally be removed from office, even though charges Of lunfaithful and inefficient perform ancc of his duties have been sustain ed against him by Gov. Ralph O. Brewster and executive council. This is the opinion of Albert M. Spear, retired justice Of the Maine supreme court. Judge Spear bases his contention on the fact that the governor cast the vote that sustained the charges when the six members of the executive council were deadlock ed, three voting for conviction and three for acquttal. In the opinior of Judge Spear, the governor has nc vote and the consent of a majority of the council is necessary before ht can either remove or appoint an Of lfcial.
 "The governor carries into effec the doings of the executive depart ment of which he Is the head, bu' he does not control it," said Judge Spear.

WI had to live with her iTl.laEvs.
That was bad enough. In addi-
ton Is that they tried to tell
her how to bring up her baby.
Now, these adoring relatives Of
the wee lassie were old.fashiOned
folks who had no patience with
raising d baby BY q book.
While young, Mrs. Porter was
well-informed and very scientific.
SO, naturally, there was q differ.
ence Of opinion.
Then, because the chiId's mother;
was young and also because she
was Of q stubborn, unyielding
disposition, she set herself to
combat any interference or sug-
gestion concerning her small
daughter. From that time on
Suzanne Porter moved, lived and
had her being under the strict
dominance OF her mothers will.
As the years went by, friends
remarked upon the good be-
hayiOr and the obedience Of
Suzanne, and, OF course, that
pleased her mother. But deep
found her greatest satisfaction
In the fact that she was able to
lay down the law to her hlls-
bands people regarding every
detail that related to Suzanne.
Eventually the Porters moved
into their own home; but fhe urge
to dominate was firmly fixed iii
