LONDON, Feb. 1s G.N.s).-
"The proper place in which to
read your Bible is not your study,
but your bath"
These startling words have been
uttered here by the Rev. Wellesley
Orr. vicar of st. PauPs, Kingston
Hill.
To illustrate his point, the Rev.
Orr called attention to a picture
appearing in last years exhibition
of the Royal Academy.
THE picture was that Of a girl

witnesses from the house in the

Mrs. Buendo claimed he struck
her on the jaw shortly before the

he was drunk.
Buendo claimed that hard times

He told reporters he had made con-

not so lucrative,
Their marital career has been
stormy, he said. His wife left him

SENATE. To VOTE
FOR DRY LAW
PENAL TIES
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service -

The most dramatic prohibition de-
bate Congress has heard since the
enactment of the Volstead law
neared it's end today with the Senate
prepared to enact the Jones bill, plac-
ing new maximum penalty of five
years Imprisonment and a $4,000
fine upon liquor law violations.
The discussion today was expected
to prove an anticlimax to the frank
debate between Senator James A.
Reed D.)-of Missouri, wet, and Sena-
tor William z. Borah tR.). dry. who
virtually took prohibition apart yes
terday and from their respective
viewpoints told the Senate what
made it tick. The Senate has heard
but few more brilliant exchanges
than the Reed -Borah clash.
Softened By Amendment
The bill, sponsorde by Senator
Jones R) of Washington, meanwhile
was assured of enactment. A final
amendment by Jones. providing that
"the courts in imposing sentences
hereunder, should discriminate be-
tween casual or slight violations and
the so-called regular bootlegging or
attempts to commercialize violations
of the law" eliminated considerable
opposition.
Under the amendment, 1t was
pointed out, the courts would be ad-
monished to use the naw penalty only
against hardened bootleggers and the
ol tVTa Of ViOi9tOr.
The measure would not affect
minimum penalties, some of which
range as low as $500 fine and six
months Imprisonment. Where mint
mum penalties apply under existing
law, the violators would not ne suo'
iect 20 the more drastic punishment
The repeater would face 1lVe years
in Jail and the $4,000 fine.
1t was against such drastic punish.
ment that Reed protested. He argued
that prohibition enforcement was a
failure because 1t had encouraged
more drinking than ever before nAo
led to official corruption, the de-
bauchery of youth and universal con-
tempt for law.
There to Stay
Borah replied that it was the
supreme law of the land and that 1t
was here to stay. He argued that
the only question now was whether
constitutional government should oe
destroyed.
He admitted official corruption
and widespread violation but he
asserted this only went to indicate
how much greater effort must be
put forth to uphold the Constitu-
! tion. Where Reed urged a change
TO State control of the liquor traffic,
! Borah declared that experiment had
been tried and had failed.
Two paragraphs from their
speeches. revealed their opposing
| viewpoints.
I'VE turn to law and abandon
| reason" said Reed. I'VE adopt the
logic of the lash and the persuasion
of punishment. There are no longer
gentle words and gentle handclasps
rather the prison and punishment,
the sound of shackles, the rattle of
| chains, the violence of dungeons
all to make men good. I can safely
saw no law ever made a good man
| or a good woman and l can safely
say no law ever will"

GERMANY SPLIT
OVER PLEA OF
TROTZKY
By OTTO D. TOLIsCHUs

BERLIN, Feb. 10 Q.N.s).-Leon
Trotzky today was a stormy petrol
in German politics as the result of
his request to be allowed to spend
his exile here.
The Nationalist and Communist
parties are opposed to his adTnis-
sion. while the Democrats and
Socialists favor granting his re-
quest.
The Press and Reichstag are di-
vided and there is similar dissension
In the cabinet.
Herr Paul Loebe, president of
the Reichstag and a member OF the
Socialist party. made the following
statement:
Favors Refugees
"Although the cabinet Is divided
in regard to Trotzky's admission.
even some of the Socialist ministers
fear that the Soviet government
may view an accession to his re.
quest as an unfriendly act.
Personally, favor his admission.
First, because 1 would lilE to see
Germany become a place of refuge
for political exiles, just as the
United States and England formerly
were. Secondly, for humanitarian
reasons, because I can si2e no rea.
son for refusing refuge to man as
i'll as Trotzky is supposed to be;
and thirdly, because Germany is
strong enough to bear the presence
of Trotzly and he would be as safe
hRre as anywhere else"
With the intention OF barring
Trotzky, the Communists are de-
manding law permitting the extra
dition of agitators against the
Soviet.
Wants to See Doctor
Pending the arrival of an official
application for admission through
the German consulate at Constan-
tinople. the German government is
not yet officially cognizant of
Trotzky's request, which was made
personally to President Loebe in a
telegram yesterday.

rious sources herp indicated that
TrotZky might be admitted because
it is understood he merely wants
to consult eminent German ply.
