Capital authorities have IN their
possession evidence against more
than 450 "speakeasies" which are
flourishing in the northwest sec
ton of Washington, DR.. Clinton N.
Howard, head of the United Com
mittee For Law Enforcement, told
400 members of the Clarendon Va.
Baptist Church last night. Howard
said the evidence had been turned
over to them by his organization.
Only Saturday, he declared. evil
dence against Is had been OBJ
tanned. The speakeasies are run
ming wide open, he added.
He predicted "a desperate bloody
rum revolt" within a short time
that would sweep the United States.
Farmers, who formerly depended
upon their crops are now making
living by making liquor, he told
his audience. He deplored the prac-
tice Of the rum.runner who Is

machine guns to gain his end.
DR.. Howard, who plans to speak
before the local policeman's asso-

that foreign powers, who are per-

their supply with the knowledge
that it is going to the United

SENATE To ROW
OVER HOOVER
POLICIES
BY International News Service

BY international News Service
Topped by the political war over
farm relief, a number of problems
today confronted the Hoover ad
ministration on Capitol Hill.
While the House awaits the new
tariff bill, the Senate will furnish
the battlefields Cor partisan clashes
over the new .Arm bill. the Mellon
and Lenroot cases, migration and
oil conservation. Hoover policies
will be at stake in each contest.
The greatest test of the Presi
dents fortunes will come In the
farm relief fight over the export
debenture plan which Mr.. Hoover
has disapproved. Although the ad.
minfstratien was assured Of an
overwhelming victory a week ago,
an unexpected switch of sentiment
has thrown the result into doubt.
Administration leaders neverthe-
less predicted they would be able
to strike the debenture plan out
of the BILL A vote probably will
be reached Wednesday or Thursday.
In the Mellon case. the Senate
asked it's Judiciary Committee for
an opinion on the eligibility of
Andrew w. Mellon to serve as
Secretary of the Treasury, while
owning a huge fortune in corpora.
ton securities.
1t received four different opin-
ions. Eight Senators reported Mel
lon was serving legally; four de.
cided he held office illegally: three
refused to decide without further
investigation: one said it was none
of the Senate's business, as il
Mr.. Mellon were in office Illegally
1t would be the Houses duty to
tmpeach him.
The very diversity of opinions in
dicated the Senate either would
abandon the subject or else uphold
Mr.. Melons right to serve as head
of the Treasury.
LenrOOt Battle Due
The Presidents action in naming
former Senator Irvine J.. T.enroot Or. y
of Wisconsin to the United States
Court of Customs and Tax Appeals
will be tested Tuesday. President
Coolidge named Lenroot to the same
post during the closing days of his
administration but the Senate al
lowed the nomination to die by fail.
ing to act on it's confirmation.
The immigration war threatened
to break out at any and all times
The President recommended repeal
of the National origins quota law,
which goes into effect July /. Ad.
ministration leaders have opposed
the move and it appeared entirely
likely that the President would meet
defeat by having his recommends,
tion ignored.
Oil CONTROVERSY
The oil controversy was to get
under way this week before the
Senate Judiciary Committee The
committee has a resolution before
It, asking for an opinion on the
constitutionality of the Presidents
order suspending oil development in
the public domain. Western Sena.

GUT PLANS

GENEVA, May U.NS).-Open
discussion of the naval limitation
proposals put forward here, by
Hugh Gibson In behalf of the
United States was today postponed
until autumn by the League of

Commission.
In the meantime the naval situa-
ton will be studied by the govern.

The American proposals do not
constitute a. rigid plan to be
accepted or rejected, but are merely
suggestions. Mr.. Gibson told the
commission. THE theory of any
naval plan that would be simple
in its application is difficult. Al
though the United States suggests
ascertaining the value of ships.

and their age, it appears that there
are other factors that might be con
