HERRICK TO Be

Lindbergh Among Crowd on
Hand AS Body Of Am
bassador Arrives

NEW YORK. April 13.-tP-My-
ron 7. Herrick came home today,
mourned alike by the land he
served, America. and the land in
which he served her, France.
The body of the United States
ambassodr to France was brought
for its final rest on native soil in
the slim grey Tourville, newest and
fastest of French cruisers.
The cortege, the flag-draped cof-
fin on an artillery caisson, moved
for two miles south the city's heart.
Noontime traffic was detoured and
tens of thousands lined the way
with barred heads.
At Grand Central terminal the
casket was placed under military
guard of honor in a car of a special
section of a late afternoon train to
be escorted by relatives and mem
bers of the funeral party to the
ambassadors home city of Cleve-
land, where the funeral will take
place Monday.
the memory of the ambassador was
Col. Charles T. Lindbergh, well
coined to France by Mr.. Herrick at
the termination or the aviator's
ocean flight and a guest at the
American embassy in Paris in the
days following.
The Tourville flew two flags, both
at half mast. From the great tri-
pod mast foreward the stars and
stripes hung Imply in the wet haze,
and from the aft mast dropped the
tricolor of France.
Parmley Herrick, son of the am
bassador, went aboard, with his
wife, Chatelaine of the embassy in
Paris, on his arm in deepest mourn
ing, and with their son, Parmely
Herrick, Jr., following representa-
tives of the government followed,

For the Best Plan to
Achieve Temperance
$4,000 PRIZE OFFER

nationwide contest for prize of $4,000
promises to be tremendous. Purposely,
however, no restrictions have been placed
upon those entitled to be considered as con-
testants. Any person who reads and writes
and thinks is qualified to enter.
The purpose of the contest is patriotic.
1T is not to set in motion merely COMPETE
ton, but to secure for the public good
practicable plan that will prove of value in
the development Of better moral, social and
political life in this country.
There must be, in the natural evolution
of the human race and society, a better plan
to advance temperance than that of Prohi-
bition, with its speakeasies, its poisons, it's
un-American espionage and its law def
ance, even by those entrusted with the en-
forcement Of the law.
The best and most practicable plan
stated clearly in an article of one thousand
words or less will be awarded the $4,000
offered by Mr.. Hearst.
Mr.. Hearst will not himself personally
Judge this contest. The decision will be in
the hands Of the committee to be announced
at later date.
The reason, however, for Mr.. Hearst
having offered this prize and the object
that he had in mind in offering it are best
expressed in his own words. His recent
kilograms to Mr.. Durant and Mr. Clapp, in
which the proposal of the plan and the
thoughts relating to it were first developed
are therefore herewith reproduced:

Here Are the Details
Of the w. R. Hearst

THE Hearst newspapers in the United
States now announce to their twenty
million readers the conditions and
rules under which prize of $25, 900 will be
awarded by Mr.. William Randolph Hearst
for the best temperance plan offered as
substitute for national prohibition.
The offer was made by Mr.. Hearst on
January of this year and has already been
widely discussed. Here, for the first time,
appears definite and complete statement
Of the plan upon which the prohibition
prize contest will be conducted, with all the
information necessary to those who will
enter the competition.
The purpose of the contest is to obtain
a practicable plan, as substitute for pro-
hibition, which will secure better actual
temperance conditions, which will be more
easily possible of enforcement by State and
Federal authorities which will offer less
encouragement to crime and tend less to
debauch the public service, and which will
not so outrage and violate the fundamental
rights and personal liberties of American
citizens.
~ HE rules and conditions Of the contest
/ are simple and are as follows:
Every person is entitled to enter the
contest, but no one person may submit
more than one plan.

IT will be noted in the announcement of
this contest that the plan which is pro-
= posed as substitute for Prohibition is
not limited to the repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment. The entire subject of Govern
mental dealing with the use of alcoholic
beverages is left open to the contestant
However, it is specifically set forth that
a practicable plan is desired. This means
that any visionary or impracticable solu-
ton of the problem is not likely to score
high in the contest
A practicable substitute for Prohibition
must deal necessarily with the facts and
conditions existing in the United States
today.
This is not literary contest. It merely
calls upon the citizens of republic to exert
their best thought upon one Of the most inn
portant problems of national government
before them. The plainest of citizens have
often proved themselves the most astute
statesmen.

Der of articles which will be submitted in a

The practicable plan proposed as a sub
stitute for Prohibition must be set forth
in an article containing not more than
one thousand words.
|-This contest will close on April 80, 1929,
and no plan which has not been mailed
and postmarked on or before that date
will be considered.
The articles submitted in the contest
will be judged by committee Of emf
nent Americans, the personnel of the
committee to be announced at a later
date.
The full prize of $25, 900 will be award
ed to the contestant submitting the best
plan as practicable temperance substi-
tute for Prohibition.
If other plans not awarded the first
prize shall still be considered worthy of
some compensation by the COMMITTEE
second prize of S., 900 and other prizes Of
$1,000 each will be awarded.

been CHIEFLY against nara
liquors, and it seemed to me
from the first that it would
be easier for the law-defying
element to deal illicitly in
hard liquor than in the mild
er ana bulkier form Of alco-
hoIic drinkables.
This opinion seems to have
been borne out by the facts:
and / think it can be truth
fully said today that any man
who wants a drink can get
one; and about the only diff
ference between the present
conditions and the conditions
preceding prohibition is that
o man who wants q mild
drink is compelled to take .
strong one; and q man who
wants q good drink is COM
PEELED to take a bad one.
1t Is true that saloons have
been closed, but saloons were
being closed before prohibi-
tioA was enacted, being
closed through the education
Of the public, through q high
rate Of excise taxation,
through local option and
through direct legislation.
Since prohibition, for every
saloon that has been closed
there is either still or q
speakeasy, or q bootlegger
supplying the most vicious
and injurious kind Of liquor
that it is possible to concoCt
or conceive Of.
You ask is anybody in
favor Of the bootlegger and
the speakeasy? The obvious
answer is
No, nobody is, except, pos
sibly, the bootlegger and the
proprietor of the speakeasy.
Some Of the public are sin
cere enough and Clear-think-
ing enough, however, to be
opposed not only to the boot
logger and the speakeasy,
but to the condition which
creates the bootlegger and
the speakeasy.
You ask if anyone is OPP
posed to the Constitution
and the law?
Nobody except the criminal
class.
But some Of the public are
sufficiently intelligent to re-
alize that, when supporting
the Constitution as q whole,
they are also supporting that
clause of the Constitution
which permits the modifica-
ton by amendment of that
documents provision; and
that it is just as much within
the rights and liberties Of the
people to take prohibition out
OF the Constitution as it was
within their rights and lib

critics to put it in in order to
see now it would operate.
You intimate that prohi-
bition has not been given a
sufficient crial or q sui
ficiently fair trial.
It has been tried for ten
years.
And I think the facts viii
justify the statement that
there are more bootleggers
today than there ever have
been during the past ten
years of trial;
And that there are more
speakeasies today than there
ever have been during those
ten years;
And that there is more
hard liquor and bad liquor
being distributed today than
there ever has been during
those ten years:
And that there are more
criminals being created today
by the liquor traffic than
there ever has been during
those ten years..
And that those criminals,
brought up and educated in
law-defiance by the liquor
traffic, have become defiant
of all other laws and added
menaces to society in many
other fields If dishonest en-
deavor.
PROHIBITION HAS
FINANCED THE UNDER
WORLD.
There is no use preaching,
as we all do. that crime
does not pay" when it 50
obviously does pay and
pays big enough dividends
to provide for the crea-
ton and employment Of
gangs Of gunner and thugs
and murderers and bootleg
gers and hi ackers, many Of
whom have become rich and
consequently almost respect
able; and all of whom are as
earnestly, if not as conscien-
tiously, in favor Of prohibi-
ton as you, sir, or any other
of that measures honest adj
vocates.
You say that those who
are in favor of the repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment
are willing to admit defeat.
Not at all.
They are only willing to adj
nit FACTS, and to call for
a more in Iligent and more
successful plan which viii
lead them more surely to
VICTORY.
You imply that the Repub-
lican party has just won its
unprecedented political vic
tory on the prohibition issue,
and that the principal appeal
