MT. Sherman attempted to prove that prohibition was a fail- ure and that it could not be en- forced while Professor Levitt pre- sented fact which he said proved prohibition was a success. No de- cision was rendered and the audi encc compiled with a request that there be no applause. -
 We cannot pour all people into a common mould and say what is good for one is good for all,' said Mr. Sherman. The majority has privileges, but the minority has rights. The American people found a way to abolish slavery and they will find a way to rectify prohibit tion, but I hope there won't De such violence. Man has been on earth a long time and so far as We know he has always resorted to the use of some stimulant.
 Prohibition is a success insofar as any human thing can be a sue cess" said Professor Levitt. wa l., l. admit We have the speakeasy, but no one. not even the most ardent wet, will say We have as many Speakeasies as we had saloons He then challenged the vets who thought so much of their rights 70 stand on street corner and take a drink while an officer of the law looked on. saying that if they be- lieved in their rights that they would suffer arrest and imprison- ment to assert them.

ARREST SUSPECTED
SLAYER OF LAWYER
AFTER LONG HUNT
J. A. Wood, Missing 6 Weeks,
Taken as He Applies for
Compensation Check.

Sought by police since the fatal
shooting six weeks ago of Charles N
Joyce. 56-year-old Arlington County
lawyer, James A. Wood, 81 years old,
alleged to have shot Joyce, was arrested
at the Veterans Bureau this morning
when he called for q compensation
check.
Although admitting his name, Wood
refused to answer any questions con-
cerning the shooting of the lawyer, who
had obtained his release from st.
Elizabeth's Hospital and then had let
him have a room at his home in Claren-
don. Wood said he would return volun-
tarily to Arlington County.
Wood, VINO is an eX-Arny offlcer.
came to the Veterans Bureau about
1920 O'Clock this morning from Roam
oke, Va, where he had been staying
at the Salvation Army. He was dressed
in a chauffeur's uniform. He was rec
ognized by a man who saw him come
in the l street entrance. Detective
1. P. McInerney, assigned to the Vet
erans' Bureau. was summoned. NC
Inerney walked up to Wood and in
QulTeQ IL he COulQ dSo1ol VooN
replied that he came for his check.
The detective escorted him to his office,
where he left him. telling him that he
would go for the check.
Find Pistol i'm Pocket.
Instead McInerney hurried toward
the street, but found Policemen James
P Miller of the Traffic Bureau and
w. T. Taft of the third precinct before
lo ,oonhoI hn Snnr Miller and TQff
placed Wood under arrest and took
him to the third precinct, where he
was lodged in a cell to await the
arrival of Arlington County authorities.
The policemen found a 32-caliber
automatic pistol of foreign make in
Woods pants pocket. The gun was
loaded.
When notified today of Woods ar
rest, Commonwealth Attorney William
G. Cloth Immediately issued warrant
charging Wood with murder and turned
it over to County Policeman Raymond
Crack and Deputy Sheriff Archie
Richards for service.
Return Wood to Arlington.
Crack and Richards. accompanied by
E. Bruce Green, Cloths associate. went
to the third precinct shortly before noon
to return Wood to Arlington County.
An effort will be made to talk with
him as soon as he is safely lodged in
the Arlington County Jail.
Because of the fact that Wood was
formerly an inmate of ST. Elizabeth's
Hospital, it was considered doubtful
whether he would ever be tried on the
murder charge, even if he confesses to
the shooting Authorities consider it
probable that he will be examined by
a sanity commission. and found to be
insane, returned to st. Elizabeths Hos
pital, from which he is now said to be
on parole.

HOOVER APPROVES
PARTIAL BUDGET
$656,571,234 Allowed for
Executive and Independent
Functions in 1881.

The first 1881 budget figures to be
revealed show estimates of S656,57l ,234
for expenses of the executive and in
dependent establishments of the Fed
eral Government have been approved
by President Hoover.
In announcing these partial estimates
late yesterday the White House called
attention to the fact that this total
represents a decrease of less than
$1-000000 from the appropriations for
the current fiscal year ending June
80 next.
No Farm Estimate.
The total does not include any esti-
mate for the Federal Farm Board, for
which S151, 100000 was included in the
current appropriations and which
brought the total expenditures for the
current year to $808. .689, 1923. 1t was
explained by the President that the
Budget Bureau did not include an esti-
mate for the Federal Farm Board for
next year because the board has been
unable to determine how much money
it will need to operate.
The largest item in the estimates for
next year is S6O6, ,225 900 for the United
States Veterans Bureau. which is about
$4,000, 900 more than the amount avail
able for the current year.
Executive Office Slash,
The amount estimated for the execu-
tive Office is $402 ,320. compared with
$611 ,944 for the present year. This re-
duction, however. is brought about by
several special items, such as the re-
building of the interior of the execu-
tive office, $4,000 for remodeling Of
Mount Weather. to be used as rural
retreat for Presidents, and $4,000 for
the purchase of an oil portrait Of Calvin
Coolidge.

GOOD WISHES EXPRESSED
IN MESSAGE FROM KING
Hopes to Be Able to Do Something
to Narrow Atlantic,
He Declares.
BY HARRY HOUSTON ROMER,
Associated Press Correspondent

S. S. BERENGARIA, September 28.-
Ramsay Macdonald, prime minister of
Great Britain, sailed into the West from
Southampton this morning on a mis-
sion of peace and good will. His physi
cal destination is Washington. His
spiritual goal is the achievement of a
unity between the two great English
speaking peoples which might lay the
foundation for really universal era Of
peace and good will among all the ma
tions of the earth.
MacDonald's barque is the palatial
Berengaria, formerly the liner Impera-
tor, upon which the British messenger
of peace occupies the imperial suite
originally intended for the use of the
war lord who is in exile at Doom.
The prime minister, his daughter and
his official party spent restful hours
aboard the liner after being the center
of farewell demonstrations in London
and again in Southampton.
Il am off in the hope of being able
to do something to narrow the Atlantic,
Mr.. Macdonald said.
Great Day in London.
1t was a great day in London, where
arrivals and departures of notable mis-
sions and royal ENJOYS are not unusual.
But rarely has the departure of Brit
ish statesman on mission abroad ever
attracted such widespread attention or
evoked such universal appreciation as
the Journey of this Scots Labor leader,
whose rise from obscurity to the most
powerful political post in the empire is
one of the romances of modern Eng
land.
Shortly after 10 pm. last night the
busy program of the day ended as the
special train bringing the prime min
lister and his party rolled into South
ampton. Almost Immediately the travel
ers came aboard the liner and soon
sought their cabins after a gratifying
but trying day. All day long at No. 10
Downing street the prime minister was

HOOVER'S OWN PICTURE GALLERY

Naval Conversations Expected to Take Place in
Presidents Study.

Approaching the work that went into
them, and the spirit in which they were
sent, President Hoover accords equal
honor to all. 1t is not a gallery where
a stern judge decides before picture
is hung.
The largest canvas, from South
America, depicts full-length President
standing behind four conventional
flower pots, equally spaced along the
front foreground. The smallest is an
old fashioned medallion, framed in
woven raffia, red, white and blue.
AS Others See Him.
The President walks into his gallery
and chuckleS to see himself as others
see him. The gallery may thus become
his Winter-time substitute for Rapidan
fishing, which gave him opportunity TO
see himself as he must appear in the
eve of fishes. He tells his guests 1t Is

1t is probable the Presidents study
will be the scene of many of the Presi-
dents conversations with Mr.. MacDon.

the picture gallery providing that after

digestion.
