ers, Who Gave 10000 Ma.
jority in Referendum
LEAVES ONLY FEDERAL LAW
State Department Of Prohibi-
ton Abolished; Cities to
Regulate Soft Drinks

Madison, Wis, May 29.-(P)-Gov-
ernor Kohler today signed the bill re-
pealing the states prohibition en-
forcement act.
The governor by signing the bill
was obeying the mandate Of the peo-
pie who in an election this spring

for repeal. The bill was passed by the
assembly month ago and two weeks
ago by the senate. Attempts of drys
to block passage failed In both houses.
The governor announced he had
signed the Grobschnidt bill "in full
fillment Of the mandate of the people,
overwhelmingly expressed In the re-
cent referendum"
Federal Enforcement Only
Governor Kohler's signature Of the
bill. which leaves the entire enforce
ment Of dry laws in Wisconsin to
federal agents. was followed by q
statement that the 18th amendment
provides that 'the congress and the
several states shall have concurrent
power to enforce this article by ap-
propriate legislation"
The governor believes this imposes
no obligation upon the states. but
leaves it optional with them as to
whether or not they will exercise their
concurrent powers"
Governor Kohler warned that the
legislatures passage and his sigma
ture Of the repeater should not mis-
lead any Of our citizens into the be-
lief that traffic In intoxicating liquor
heretofore prohibited by the state ha,
become lawful or that the saloon will
return" He then cited federal regula
tions against manufacture and sale
Of intoxicating liquors.
Passes Assembly Easily
The repeal bill. by John w. Grob-
schmidt. Milwaukee Republican. was
introduced in the assembly January
is in anticipation Of q statewide ref
erendum on the dry law. After the
wet majority had been returned. the
bill was passed by the assembly April
II by = vote of 81 to 80.
On May Is the senate passed the
blu, II senators voting for repeal and
nine against.
On publication, which should be
within the next few days, the act will
become effective. Under the repeater
the state department Of prohibition Is
abolished and all state cooperation
with the federal government in en-
forcing the Volstead law will cease
The law signed today allows munich
palities to regulate soft drink parlors
and also prohibits drinking on trains
and buses and drunken driving.

YANKS ARE PRESSED
IN PRO HOCKEY LOOP
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. January 28.-The
working agreement between the New
York hockey teams, leaders of their re-
spective groups In the National Hockey
League, has suffered severe setback.
All this season the Rangers have helped
out the Americans by defeating an in
ternational group team when a defeat
meant lot to the leaders of that divi-
sion, and the Americans performed the
same service for the Rangers.
Last night the Americans did their
share, beating the Detroit Cougars,
but 1t was of more assistance to the
second-place Boston Bruins, who kept
the Rangers from doing their part Of
the job by winning, 2 to l. The result
leaves the standings unchanged. The
Rangers had run up a lead Of points
with victories over Toronto and Pitts
burgh earlier In the week. They get
another chance tonight to run 1t up
when they play of the game with Les
Canadienes of Montreal, postponed from
January 8 on account of the funeral OF
Tex Rickard.
Tonight's contest also gives the
Canucks another shot at the Americans
lead. The flying Frenchmen. second in
the International group. cut the margin
to one point Saturday by turning In a
2-to-1 victory over Ottawa, but the
Americans made it three points again
last night. Earlier in the week the
race remained even. Les Canadiens
gained two points, with ties with Boston
and Toronto while the Americans beat
the Maroons Thursday.

SHOOTS 4 RECORDS
| IN TOURNEY SWEEP
Wild Bill Sets State Open
and Course Marks as He
Wins 800 Purse.

BY the Associated Press.
y AN ANTONIO, Tex, January a.
The golfing records Of Texas went
with Wild Bill Mehlhorn today
~ as he moved on to Hot Springs.
Ark, for the $4,000 South Central
open tournament, starting there jan
uary 81.
The crafty Fennimore pro. complete
master Of the Lone Star States Winter
open tournaments, carried with him a
new world record, a new Texas open
record, two course records and two first
prizes totaling $4,000.
Mehlhorn collected the major purse,
81 500, In successfully defending his title
in the Texas open here yesterday with
277 strokes, a new tournament record.
His Sc on the third round set new
course record for Breckenridge Park.
His total was seven strokes below par
for the course, and was four strokes
under young Horton Smith OF Joplin,
Mo-, who took second money OF $500
with his 28l, q masterful score Of itself.
Mehlhorn's victory was his second IN
Texas in a week, he having collected
$500 as first prize in the low-moneyed
FL Paso open last Sunday when he
clipped II strokes from par to establish
new world tournament record OF I'll
for n holes.
Great After First Round.
Except for one bad round last Friday
the New York star might have equalled
or eclipsed his FL PaSo performance
here, for after getting away to bad
IS on the opening day. he came back
to whittle strokes from par In every
successive round. He was Q under par,

course record.
Mehlhorn's 54S strokes for the two
successive 72-hole tournaments were "a
strokes under par, and probably entitle
him to another world record for low
strokes in successive Journeys.
Smith never had bad round In the
local Sc 500 event, but his scores lowered
around par, and he was wholly unable
to match Mehlhorn's scorching rounds.
His total of 69-72-70-70-281 showed
only the second round over par figures,
and was good enough to win in most
tournaments.

horn out of the picture by shooting a

morning with a 81 to tie Mehlhorn at
the 52-hole mark. He faded in the
afternoon, however. taking "a where

ANN ARBOR, Mich, January % O4,).
Its the Michigan spirit, says the
campus It's the Michigan habit of
winning, says the conference as whole.
Whatever the reason, Michigan is out
in front in another Big Ten race. And
it had to climb from the depths to get
there.

igan. Eddie Mather, father" Of Mich
igan's indoor system, was dead. Ooster-
baan and Harrigan, stars, were gone.
There was a new coach, new system
and a green team.
Now the Wolverines, indicated, are
on top of the Western Conference. They
have won all of their conference games,
stopping Northwestern, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Illinois. Preseason victories over
Penn, Penn State and Cornell came
in decisive fashion.
1t was more than feeble fight that
has carried the Ann Arbor squad to its
peak position, because Its first game of
the year resulted in loss to Michigan
State.
Perhaps the surprising showing of the
Wolverines should be credited to George
Veenker, varsity coach, whose expert
ence before he came to Michigan as as
siStant coach last year was confined to
high school basket ball. The consensus
is that Veenker is the spark plug behind
the Michigan steam-roller.
The Ann Arbor quintet IN its first
four conference games averaged 80
points per game and held the opposition
to 203s points game, the best defensive
record in the conference.

three teams in the conference had
games scheduled. They were Chicago

It was the third successive week OF

Each team in the race was understood

the results of the examinations are

Michigan, Wisconsin and Purdue may

Michigan Gets Lead.
Michigan was idle again last week,
