 According 10 the caretakers at tho dumps, Chief SounCy says, tho city cooperated with enthusiasm. Thurs day. Friday and Sa urday there was q steady stream of rubbish and refuse carted to the dumps for dis posal.
 One of the troubles of which there have been a few complaints, according to the fire department of- ficial Is that Of people who burn rubbish and garbage in their back yards. either in bonhros or private ncinnrators and then leave the om- bers sruoldcring all night. Steps have been taken in several places to stop this and will be done wherever possible upon complaint.
 Dr. R. W. Pullen, superintendent of the health department is decided ly pleased with the results of clean up week. His inspectors found on all sides evidence of a ready re- sponse 10 the mayors suggestion that the week just passed be given over to the removal of rubbish and intlammablo accumulations. Tho sanitary inspection work will com tinue as in the past, hut this work is devoted particularly to stores, hotels, restaurants, etc, and sufficient time cannot ho allowed for thorough back yard and building inspections.

BRIEFS FILED IN
 DRY LAW DISPUTE
Hearings Concluded Before Con-
 9rGSSiOnal Committee

Washington. May 10 tP) - Final briefs have been filed by the vets and drys with the senate prohibi- ton committee. the former de- mandiug thorough investigation Of the Anti-Saloon league and the latter contending for legislation to reinforce the Nolstead act.
 The committee. meanwhile, Is planning 10 take up tomorrow the revised Golf bill, on which its members and Assistant Secretary Andrews have been able 10 agree,
 Wayne l.. Wheeler general coun- --l oI the Anti-Saloon league, said in his brief that the best reasons Tor prohibition had been brought ont in the arguments against if presented at the recent hearing. Ha cited the testimony of the New York, Chicago and Cleveland dis trict attorneys and other witnesses in support Of his contention that the dry law is being enforced.
 Holding The opposite viewpoints the vets asserted that the mis- chief that the prohibition law is doing in this country. as revealed in this hearing, and it's far reach ing destructive effects upon society and government, make it impera- tive that the senate Of the United States inquire into the origin, his tory and activity of the small group Of men who have brought these frightful conditions upon the republic"
 They particularly desired 10 have Mir. Wheeler cross examined as to the contributions received by the Anti-Saloon league from Elbert II. Gary, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and other industrial chieftains. Ques- tioning of these men and the members of congress who are on the Anti-Saloon league payroll" vas urged to bring out "the sig nifcance Of the strange phenome- non that after the alliance of the Anti-Saloon league and big busi- ness to keep up a continuous tor rent or smoke screen over prohi- bition antitrust prosecutions sud denly ceased"
 Insisting that the crime wave in this country was not due to prohi- hition hut that the law had pro- duccd prosperity, MT. Wheeler re- itorated his charge that the vets had brought about the senate hearing solely as a propaganda medium. The remedy for violations Of the prohibition act. he argued. lay in Strengthening the existing laws and the appointment Of yer ile, honest and active men" 10 en- forcamant posts. The nation. h. held. was in no mood 10 permit criminals and law breakers to re- wise it's constitution and repeal its laws"
 Six bills recommended by Gen. oral Andrews form the basis Of the revised Golf measure, with the , vigorously controverted provision in one Of them for search of dwellings, on suspicion Of liquor manufacture ! modified 10 require "eHdcnce" Of such production flor sale or other unlawful disposition" This and other alterations were approved by General Andrews, who said he wanted it made clear that the trcasury's objective was to wipe out commercial distilIing rather than interfere with small stills produc- ing liquor for strictly home con- sumption.
