MICHIGAN FACING
STR|CTER DRY LAW
Move Begins to Raise Pen
atty for Liquor Violation
to Five Years.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich. March MEM
bers of the Lower House of the Michi-
gan Legislature faced the possibility
that their effort yesterday to remove
dry law offenses from the list of fell
onies punishable by life imprisonment
may not only be defeated, but may re-
act to make the penalty for first
offense even more severe.
The House passed yesterday an
amendment to the State criminal code
removing from effect under the habitual
criminal law all felonieS for which a
maximum penalty of at least five years
was not prescribed for the first Of
fenSe
100 Offenses Affected.
It's primary object was to remove
liquor offenses, for which the first
penalty is but one year, from the life
spenalty provision. Approximately 100
others offenses. however were affected
similarly at the same time.
The Rev. R. N. Holsaple, State SUI
peTintendent of the Anti-Saloon League.
Immediately started fight to obtain
approval 70 a bill, already before the
House, increasing the penalty for first
liquor offenSe to five years.
Support for Amendment.
The Anti-Saloon League bill will
have the cupport of many legislators
who voted for the amendment yester-
day because they desired such offenses
as illegally wearing a lodge pin remov-
ed from the category of life imprison-
ment crimes.
The Senate is expected to pass the
amendment without serious opposition,
as it is supported by Gov. Fred w
Green and other administration leaders.

Reaches Last Stage

Washington, July A CP)-Already hailed as of proved effectiveness by virtue of it's influence on the Russo Chinese controversy, the Kellogg treaty renouncing war today reach- cd the last stage of it's stormy course from an idealistic suggestion 10 a binding international agreement.
 For the final step-its formal @~promulgation by President Hoover the historic east room of the White House was chosen as the scene of impressively simple cere- monies in which the diplomatic rep resentatives of the nations that have joined the Unitedv States in renounc- ing warfare as an instrument of their national policy had been invit- ed to participate.
 In additiC', there were two spa- cially invited and honored guests. At President Hoover's right place was set aside for Calvin Coolidge. who brought all the influence of his presidential office to bear in obtain- ing the approval of the senate for Alit lt'tlNS anu itStl uo IL ttS Oltt VI the most important accomplish ments of his administration. On the chief executives left place was reserved for the man whose efforts on behalf of the treaty were of such import that the pact was given his -.-name, Frank B. Kellogg, the Cool idge secretary of state.
 All Documents Received
 Under the terms of the treaty l. self, the ceremony Of promulgatior could not take place until all of the 15 original signatory nations had deposited their instruments of rat!- fication with the Washington gov ernment, All but one, that of Jap an. have been in the archives Of taa state department for some time and Secretary Stimson made special ar engagements to complete this mo- mentous file by receiving the Japan ese ratification early in the day from the hands of Ambassador De- buChi. The notifications of three ad. herring nations also had not been received, although in transit. but un- like those Of the signatories they were not necessary to make the pact effective.
 President Hoover had prepared a brief address to proclaim the treaty ? in force and binding. In common with other high officials of the ad- ministration, he believes the pact has already proved its value by the way in which it served as a restrain ing influence when Russia and China less than a week ago, broke off dip lomatic relations and appeared to be on the verge of warfare in Man ..chur;a.
