UNEARTHED A BIG ONE
Detroit Federal Agents and City Police
Raid Big Brewery and Seize
Beer and Equipment

Working independently but with a sim
gle purpose that of drying up Detroit,
says the Detroit Free Press OF March 5,
federal agents descended upon brewery
with daily output of 1900 gallons, while
the police were raiding 81 blind pigs, on
Saturday night, March 3, and Sunday
morning March a. The federal agents
destroyed what the raiders termed the
most elaborate brewery discovered in
Detroit since the advent of prohibition.
Invading the premises shortly before
midnight the government men worked
with crowbars and sledge hammers until
7 o'clock in the morning Seven watts con-
tanning 1000 gallons of beer each, 3
empty vats OF the same capacity, 10 watts
each containing 500 gallons of mash, two
500-gallon storage tanks, filters, 3 emp
ty 200-gallon vats, and $50 half-barrels
of beer, were destroyed
The premises had been under observa-
ton for two weeks, and though no ar
rests were made the owners are known
to the prohibition forces according to the
district prohibition administrator 5 office

presiding officer for the day. DIR. Polling
gave one of his characteristic addresses
which put the conference in fine fettle for
the days activities. The symposium of
addresses which followed took on the
characteristics Of a national crusade, with
a manifest determination To secure bet
terment of prohibition conditions, which
IS warning of the first magnitude to
those politicians and legislators who al
ways tremble in the presence OF propo-
posed reformation.

declaration to secure prohibition law en-
forcement no matter how strong. We
believe that the election of such candi-
dates with such record would be follow
ed inevitably by persistent efforts to in
crease the alcoholic content OF intoxi-
eating liquor and to weaken the enforce
ment provisions of the prohibition law;
not hostile, officials; and, by great actual
laxity in enforcement We therefore, re-
cord our fixed determination to oppose
actively the nomination or the election of
any such candidate no matter on what
party platforms they may stand.
'Third.-We authorize the Committee
on Arrangements for this conference to
recommend suitable committees to ar
range the procedure for presenting these
resolutions to tn political party conven-
tons.
"Fourth-NVe recommend that all or
CARNATIONS and citizens in agreement
with the foregoing declarations actively
work for the selection OF delegates to
nominating conventions who will support
the aims of this conference"
At this business session representa-
tive committee was appointed to convey
these resolutions to the various national
political conventions and to take the nee
essary steps to get the largest possible
support of the convention delegates for
these proposals. This committee is made
up of one representative from each of the
participating organizations with a num-
Der OF thoroughly representative men and
women as de1egateS-at-large.
The Banquet
The evening session marked the climax
Of the day, and was in the form of ban
quet held in the ball room OF the May
flower Motel, at which more than seven
hundred persons sat at the tables and
listened to the addresses. Bishop Will
liam F. Mcdowell presided which in it
self was a guarantee of successful and
happy evening. DR.. W. L. Darby, secre-
tary of the Washington City Federation
of Churches, gave the invocation. Then
followed a series of six addresses which
were narvels Of eloquence and power To
attempt a description of each separate
address would be futile. All of them had
to be heard to be appreciated.
The speakers included Bishop William
F. Anderson, Methodist Bishop of Bos-
ton DR.. John A. Lapp, prominent Cath

hibtion of the manufacture sale, trans
portation, expectation and Importation of
Intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses. That the prohibition of the traffic
in intoXicants is legitimate, proper eX-
ercise OF the lawmaking power, and that
the prohibition law is a salutary law,
have been demonstrated: By it labor has
been enriched, business enlarged, public
savings and capital resources vastly in
creased, social conditions improved, pub
lie health benefited and morality advanc-
ed. Its value has been in proportion to
the effectiveness OF the enforcement of
the law. Even at its worst prohibition
has proved UNNECESSARILY better than the
legalized liquor traffic at its best for the
legalized traffic was lawless, and be-
smirched the social and political life of
the country.
1--WE are confident that a large majority
Of the American people are determined
that prohibition shall stand and that its
enforcement shall be made increasingly
effective. But there are bitter enemies
of the Eighteenth Amendment who are
unwilling to restrict the indulgence of APP
petite for the sake of the general well
fare These persons who put appetite
above patriotism are aiding and abetting
the violation of the Constitution of the
United States by covetous, lawless traf-
fCkers in intoXicants, and there are those
who openly advocate policy OF multi
fcation.
This conference stands unqualifedly
for the enforcement of all law. Today the
issue joins specifically in the Eighteenth
Amendment. To concede that enforce
ment is impracticable is to condone multi
fcation. The alternative IS ordered gov
eminent or anarchy. Prohibition must
be enforced by the officials who are chos-
en- by the people The people act through
political parties, and the candidates for
president and vicc-president of the Unit
ed States are nominated by political par
ty conventions. Because of these facts,
this conference assembled in the city of
Washington, OH February %, 1923, here
by adopts the foregoing statement and
the resolutions appended hereto.

The Luncheon


The Luncheon
At the noon hour luncheon was par
ticipated in by upwards OF six hundred
gathered in the Garden Of the MayhoWer
Hotel, and over which Mr.. Fred B.
Smith, chairman of the Citizens Com
mittee of One Thousand, presided. Fol
lowing the lunch, Mr.. Smith stirred the
audience with an appeal for friendly &C
ton toward prohibition on the part Of
political parties and with request that
everything possible be done to secure
platform action in behalf of enforcement
and the nomination Of candidates friendly
to this issue. lie then introduced Judge
William II. Delacy, former Judge Of the
Juvenile Court OF the District Of Column
bia, who is one of the prominent dry
Catholics of the country, and who gave a
stirring address. He was followed
by Colonel Raymond Robins of Chi
cago, who made fine and telling
argument for stressng the issue of the
enforcement OF the Federal Constitution,
as the great, outstanding issue now be-
fore the American people.
At the afternoon session with Mrs. A..
Haines Lippincott of Camden, New Jer-
sey, presiding, a half dozen addresses
were given by prominent citizens OF the
country, the last speaker being Mr.. J. {.
Penny, of New York, who is the head of
the Penny chain of stores extending into
many cities of the country, and who
voiced the entire spirit OF the conference
relative to political affiliations when he
closed with these words:
q am by inheritance and choice a
Democrat, but I will not give my vote to
any political organization or any candi-
date for high office who does not stand
right On this question OF prohibition and
its enforcement
The Resolutions
Following the addresses the confer
ence entered upon a business session
during which the following statement and
resolutions were unanimously adopted;
Conference Resolutions
''The policy OF the prohibition of the
beverage traffic in intoxicating liquors
has been embodied in the Constitution of
the United States by the Eighteenth
Amendment. This Amendment was
adopted by the same method employed in
the adoption OF other amendments to the
constitution. The resolution proposing
the amendment was adopted by the vote
of more than the required two-thirds Of
both houses Of congress, and was ratified
promptly by the vote OF an unprecedent-
ed number OF the legislatures of the
states: 40 out of a possible 48. The valid
ity of the amendment has been affirmed
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, and it is therefore indisputably
part OF the basic law of the land
The motive underlying the adoption
of National Prohibition is worthy and
patriotic. 1t is an honest, unselfish, con-
structive effort to promote the general
welfare of the entire social order by the
restriction of the activities of individual

SAY WILL NOT INSIST
Argentine Won't Force Inclusion of Economic Factors in Projected Pan American Union Convention.

Buenos Aires, Feb II tIr--It was understood here today that Argen- tina will not insist on the inclusion of economic factors in the projected ran-A American union convention. Such a step. it was felt. would break the deadlock which has developed at the Pan-American conference at Havana because Of the insistence of Ambassador Honorio Pueyrredon of Argentina in advocating removal of tariff barriers among the American republic
 New instructions were sent to Dr. Pueyrredon last night by the foreign office. The sending of these in structions followed q series of con- versations between Robert w. Bliss, American ambassador. and Foreign Minister Gallardo.
 No definite official statement was made regarding the instructions. It was learned. however, on what is considered the most reliable au- thorty. that Argentina would not insist on the demand that economic factors be included in the proposed Pan American union convention.
 The instructions are also under stood to deal with the question Of intervention and Nicaragua. injected into the Hanava discussions by Dr. Pucyrredon, who insisted that the Maurt,Ia report on public intcrna- tonal law left the way open for the intervention of one state in the in- tcrnal affairs of another. whereas the Rio Janciro convention natly de- nOunccd intervention.

ID PLAY MUSIC 0F THE 18TH CENTURY
Candle Light Concert in Colonial
 Carb at M. E. Church

A unique musical event awaits the public Sunday evening, when Profes- sor Raffaele Martino appears with q quartet from Italian 18th Century symphony orchestra of Boston, at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church.
 When the orchestra was organized five or six years ago q strange and almost unbelievable truth was forced upon music lovcrs-the truth that wonderful scores written as far back as the 1500's were lying buried, be- cause no one seemed to care enough about them to bring them 10 the light. Some had not been heard since they were written. When Sig nor Martino announced his inten- tions of organizing an orchestra for
 the purpose of playing these long forgotten and neglected master
 pieces the question was raised as to
 how scores that were beautiful could remain so long hidden. At the first concert the name @''rhc Eighteenth Century orchestra" was adopted because all music played by the organization was written not later than the ZOOS.
 An unusual feature of the con cert is the fact that the members of the quartet appear in colonial cos tune and play by candle light. The
 members of the quartet aud the in- strunents they will play are Raf- faclc Martino. originator and con ductor, the oboe and English horn: A. nj I.ascia, flute: \. nj Scipio. violoncello; A. Bruno. piano.
