VETS AND DRYS
! WAGE TERRIFIC
PUBLICITY WAR
First One, Then the Other
Issue Statements for
Use of Press.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, April s. 49, Wet
and dry leaders here have been en-
gaging in the grandest publicity bat
tie since a Senate committee inves-
tigated prohibition last year.
The wet champion is c. G. Hinck-
ley, national secretary of the Asso-
clifton Against the Prohibition
Amendment, and the dry is Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel Of the
Anti-Saloon League.
Nearly every mail carries a vi
brating statement from one or the
other to the Washington correspond
ents. The trouble started when SEN
ator Reeds Senate investigating
committee recently compiled figures
showing the Anti-Saloon Leagues
State and national branches had
spent about $13,000,000 in five years.
Make Complaint
The drys complained that there
was no necessity for the compilation
and intimated it was gratuitous
slap at them. They also charged
that no similar publicity had been
given to wet expenditures.
The committee responded that the
complete league expenditures had
never before been totaled. since not
/ all State records had been compiled
BIT the hearings year ago. These
had been coming in slowly since, 1t
was stated.
Committee officials also pointed
but that the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment had filed
complete statements with the com
mittee during the hearings, showing
total expenditures Of about 100000
since the associations inception, and
a yearly budget approaching $780,
900. There was no need for further
compilation, it was added.
Then Hinckley charged among
bther things that the Anti-Saloon
league funds had been expended in
political activities which he termed
improper, including the financing of
activities Of the House Committee
on the Alcoholic Liquor Traffic,
headed by Representative Hudson
of Michigan, former State super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League.
Both Wheeler and Hudson denied
this.
Quotes Wheeler
Hinckley came back, quoting what
he said was Wheeler's own report to
the league executive committee
early in 1925, which read in part as
follows
The House committee, with
Hudson as chairman, has been gath
ering material to make an official
report on the results of prohibition.
We have cooperated in getting the
facts. . Becadse there was no APP
preparation for the committee, we
have had to do a great deal of the
work, and / had to raise some extra
money to meet certain expenses in
CURED by the committee
Hinckley added that this showed
Wheeler was either liar to his own
executive committee or in his recent
denial. "Wheeler's written report
shows shocking exploitation of gov
ernmental machinery for propa-
ganda purposes" he added.
This swinging blow may stagger
Wheeler. but Washington is betting
he comes back with another letter.

RARE SKULLS EXHIBITED
Believed Relics of Race Linking
Europeans and Asians.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, April s.-Skulls Of a
race supposed to be the connecting
link between Asia and Europe were
exhibited here recently by Sir Ar.
thur Keith during a lecture to the
Royal College Of Surgeons. The
skulls had been discovered in an
ancient cemetery in the Taklama-
kan desert, central Asia.
Due to atmospheric conditions the
skulls were well preserved. The fea-
lures could be distinguished and the
hair had retained it's natural color.
Sir Arthur asserted the features
were similar to those of Europeans
while the essential characteristics
were Monaghan.

From the bounds given in the ordi-

the ancient aphorism. is just
before dawn. Save for a few
returning revelers. policemen
and night watchmen, most of the cir

deep in sleep. To the man who PAGES

desolate silence is happily broken by

And yet, while the dairyman's cart
still rattles and creaks on its rounds,
innumerable small caravans are roll

the city.
They are the horse-draWn and mo-
tor-driven vehicles of the Virginia and
Maryland farmers, bearing a consid-
cradle part of the sleeping city's fresh
vegetable supply. If one seeks it he will
find much that is picturesque about
those rural folks, who will have re-

the Sunday markets were the occasion
Of disorder. and it is presumed that,
as one reason assigned for a Sunday
market was that il afforded the only
opportunity for slaves in the adjoining

industry to the market, that class of

troublesome in this particular, as it
was in other phases of community life
of the day.
