zenith amendment. 1 believe that
to a very considerable extent pro-
hibition has been successful. 1 ia
vor maintenance of the Volstead
act and would be opposed to modi-
f1cation. AS secretary of the mis-
Sionary association and with wide
acquaintance among Christian min
listers, 1 believe this represents the
views of very large proportion of
our ministry.
THE REV. HOMER C. BOBLITT,
Pastor Linwood Disciples of Christ
Church-Prohibiti has been q
marked success. I am very strongly
opposed to any sort of modification
which would return wine and beer
The only solution of the problem is
more rigid enforcement of the Vol
stead act. My judgment is that
ministers of the Christian Church
are very strongly for the position 1
have taken.
THE REV. S. w. HARTSOCK,
Pastor of the North Baptist Church
1t seems to me that the failure
of the prohibition law, if any, is in
the ability to enforce it. We are
better off with it than we were
under the old system. 1.-The sending
of questionnaires was a pretty good
idea. My personal opinion has been
formed through contact with the
working man. Prohibition is good
for the laboring man. OF course,
the man with money who wants
liquor will. get it at any price. Re
CARELESS of the general depression
that has been over the country in
the last few years the working man
has been able to keep on a steady
level.
THE REV. G. P. GREENFIELD,
Pastor of the Garfield Park Baptist
ChurcE-As far as. have been able
to obtain the consensus, both in
and out of the church, the Eight
zenith Amendment is a success. Al
though there is lack of enforce
ment on the part of some enforce
ment agents, the law, as a whole
has been effective. Before we had
prohibition-and have been in the
ministry twenty-six years-there
we're those who used to spend all
they made in the saloons. Now
these people own their own homes
and automobiles. I believe that pro-
hibition is grand and glorious
success.
THE REV. FRANK w. SUMNER,
Pastor Fairfax Disciples of Christ
Church, think prohibition has
been as successful as any other law
that incorporates as large a change.
Simply because the law is not per-
fectly enforced is not a reason why
it is no good. Other laws suffer the
same way. don't believe the Vol
stead act should be modified. The
trouble is not with the law, but
with its enforcement. Modification
now would bring about more dan
gerouS condition than existed before
prohibition. Considering the vast
number of automobiles OH the
streets today. the matter of public
safety would be more deeply in
volved to say nothing of the moral
considerations
= Il q
THE REV. WALTER L. KING.
Pastor of the Hillcraft Baptist
Church, am in favor of prohibi-
ton, but I believe the Government
has failed to enforce the intent of
it. The remedy cannot be prescribed
now because of the moral condition
of the country. Today beer making
apparatus and ingredients can be
bought. There must be a moral
awakening

DANCER First
CHOSEN TO KILL
MEXICAN Chief
Woman Was to Scratch
Both Gales and Oregon
With Poison Needle.
BY G. F. FINE

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 22.-The
story of how a small group had
held secret meetings for several
months at the nome Of Mother SUI
perior Conception, planning the
murders Of President Plutarcoo
Gales and the late Gen. Alvaro
Obregon, was related today in a.
police statement.
These plans directly we're intended
to bring to climax the long ses
ries of church difficulties in Mexico
the statement said, and included
besides assassinations, the bombing
of the Chamber of Deputies, bomb
ing of railroad bridges and the
arming of rebel soldiers.
The statement was issued after
questioning of twelve persons. in
Guiding seven women, arrested i'm
mediately after Jose De Leon Toral
assassinated General Obregon more
than a month ago. Police attrib-
uted Mother Superior Conception
to be the directing force of the
group.
Dancer First Selected
The statement did not indicate,
however, that Toral had been espe-
cially selected by the group to kill
Obregon. Each asserted the slender
young confessed assassin merely was
a friend.
The group first started meeting
in April. and the statement related
that Toral was a regular attend
ant. They discussed means of force
to bring an end to the church
situation.
The first plan approved was to
send Maria Elana Manzano, a dan
Ger who is under arrest, to Celaya
in the State of Guanajuato during
the spring festival. 1t was their plan
that she dance with both the Presi-
dent and General Obregon and
while dancing to scratch each with
a poisoned needle.
The dancer confessed-police said
that she lost confidence in her
oNAAAIJ w NclA4 Oub bllIo SCllEIlEs
Next is was decided to bomb the
railway bridge over which both the
President and the Elect
would pass EN- route to Celaya. This
failed because the group was unable
to obtain bomb materials.
Recruited Martyrs
The statement continued that the
bombs used in dynamiting the
chamber of deputies several weeks
ago were manufactured at house
adjoining that of Mother Superior
Conception and that the bombs we're
manufactured with her knowledge.
1t said that she consulted some i'm
portant outsider regarding all of
these plans.
1t was said by several, the police
reported, that Mother Superior Con-
cepcion aided in recruiting rebels
for the Church cause and that she
told them she was Sending you to
Heaven through martydom."
Toral will be tried within a FORT
night.
Mother Superior Conception al
ready has been arraigned and the
prosecution announced they would
demand the supreme penalty for a
woman for her-twenty years inn
prisonment

is a great and worthy experiment.

is go on and enforce the law. l

ReSoIDed, That we express our hearty.
approval of the Leagues work in colleges
and among college students and urge that
if possible it be increased in extent and in
number of workers employed. We record
our belief that the State League should
make special effort to secure the necessary
funds SO that a college secretary can be
employed for the full time and if possible
more than one man be designated for this
exceedingly important work
ReSoIUed, That we urge the League to
devise plans by which to secure the active,

deaUorS, Epworth Leagues, Baptist Young
Peoples Unions and other groups of young
people in promoting better understand
ing of the prohibition cause and the closer
cooperation with the agencies promoting
it,,

business influence, people of social posi-
iton and the rank and file of our citizen
ship to obey the lalU and demonstrate by
their loyalty that they are not among
those who are ready to nullify in one di
rection the Constitution to which they
owe their protection and prosperity in
other directions.

iticoI parties that they take pronounced
stand IN behalf OF the enforcement of the
prohibition law and of all laws enacted
under the constitution and in harmony
with its provisions
Re8olDed, That law-abiding citizens
who seek the welfare of our country.
should ignore partisanship and demand
that the candidates whom they support
take a definite stand on the subject of
prohibition and the support of the Con-
stitution and that policy of evasion cam
not be tolerated. "The hour has arrived
for action There can be no compromise
on the question of enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead
act"

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY ANTISALOON LEAGUE
xra From Resolutions Adopted the Annual Meeting the Anti

ReSOlUed, first, That we giUe thanks to
Almighty God at the close of another year
of labor in behalf of the great cause of
prohibition for His sustaining grace which
has enabled the League to continue it's
laborS in the promotion of the prohibition
policy and the enforcement of the prohi-
bition laws. More than ever we are con-
vinced of the almost limitless Importance
of the work in which we are engaged, the
beneficial results are apparent on every
side and are far more pronounced and
extensive than is commonly recognized
even by serious students of civic affairs.
Looking back over the year we believe
the prohibition policy has a stronger grip
upon the conscience and convictions of
the citizens of Our country than ever be-
fore. Apparently this conviction is shared
by the enemies of prohibition and has
Spurred them to greater activity in their
opposition to the League and it's work
ReSolUed, That we express our gratifi-
cation at the results OF the recent pri-
mary election by which with the careful
work Of the Leagues officers and friends
throughout the state we succeeded in re-
tanning our full quota of dry candidates
in the Congress Of the United States and
in the State Senate and won good fight

appreciation to the steady loyalty ~ the
hundreds OF churches representing over
thirty different denominations who have
co-operated with the League during the
past year not only by opening their
churches to the Anti Saloon League

support and co-operated with it in the
distribution of endorsement of candidates
and otherwise assisted in the election of
