REPORTS ON DRY
SITUATION CLASH
W. c. T. U Says Claims of
Wet Groups Are Refuted
by Facts.

The National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union said in statement
today that the increasing severity of
State enactments against the-bootleg-
ger is the best test of Americas de-
termination to rid itself of liquor"
At the same time the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment
said in a statement that more than
four times as many killings as the Fed
eral Government has ever reported will
be shown by a complete canvass OF
ment."
The dry statement was based on the
annual survey of Mrs. Lenna Lowe
Yost, director of legislation for the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
The wet side was presented in report
called Reforming America With a
Shotgun"
Dry MajOrities Cited.
DRY majorities are expanding, wet
authorities are shrinking" said Mrs.
Yost. I'm 1899 every State Legislature
except Wisconsin that took action on
prohibition strengthened it's laws"
The Association Against the Prohibi-
ton Amendment said that study OF
Sc prohibition killings showed "six dis
tinct types of murderous prohibition

American people are opposed to pro-
hibition and its enforcement.
Year after year the lawmakers,
elected by popular ballot, have imposed
greater and greater penalties on the
bootlegger," it added.
This is evidence that the lawmakers
are going to the people for advice,
rather than to the metropolitan wet
press, because instead of slackening en-
forcement, nearly all the States have
increased the seventies of their origi-
nal anti-liquor laws"
The Association Against the Prohibi-
ton Amendment report said "the death
records of the Prohibition Bureau are
literally Sprinkled with cases in which
Federal officers have been charged with
homicide or murder. the Federal Court
has interviewed and the defendants have
been acquitted"
I'VE believe that this practice, while
entirely within the law, has not in
frequently blocked the punishment of
reckless shooters" 1t said.

FLYER LANDS SHIP
ON ROOF OF STORE
Machine Is Destroyed, but
Two Passengers Are
Saved by Pilot.

SEATTLE, Wash, November 10
Selecting the fiat roof Of a downtown
department store for an emergency
landing when the engine of his air
plane "froze" while he was taking two
Boy Scouts on a sightseeing trip over
Seattle, Bob Wark, veteran pilot, brought
his crippled craft, down with only minor
injuries to himself and his passengers
yesterday. The plane was demolished:
Wark took off from Boeing Field
with his passengers. Ben Taylor, II, and
Fred Knoph, IS, and had circled over
the city and was ready to return to the
field when the engine froZe. Realizing
it would be impossible to make the field,
he dived at the department store roof.
To avoid striking the brick wall at
the edge of the roof with his land
gear. he nosed the plane slightly and 1t
landed upside down.
Wark and his passengers extricated
themselves from the wreckage.

Will Rogers
Says:

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, November
18.--I see where transcontinental
air line has made big cut in fares.
That's what aviation should have
done in the first place. They knew
they had to lose money for a year
or so, so lose it carrying a full load.
It's the financial fear that keeps
more people on the ground than the
physical fear. Another suggestion,
if I may: Choke the ad writer or
chamber of commerce that uses the
expression "air minded" People
thinks its some kind of mental con-
fition that you have to work your
self up into before leaving the
ground. If you ride in a 1918
Buick, you are not necessarily
Buick minded" or if in a Lincoln,
you are not Lincoln minded" You
travel in what you can afford. Even
a pilots mind has no more air in it
than a subway guards bass

CAPPER UPHOLDS
FARMERS ATTITUDE
Hopes Rush to Protect Bust
ness in Stock Break Will Not
Be U. S. Aid to Speculation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The hope of farmers that "the rush
of national leaders to protect legitimate
business against the speculative stock
market crash is not to be diverted into
an attempt to place the Government
in business for the purpose of extend
ing governmental aid to speculative
stock market" was expressed last night
by Senator Capper, Republican, of Kan
SaS.
In speaking of the farmers attitude
in radio address over the Columbia
BroadcaSting System, the Senator said
the farm States were not entitled to
the appellation of backward States "be-
cause they have not bought and paid
for certain legislation"
ITO the conservative farmer mind
he said, 1.-The underlying theory OF the
speculative market that 6 per cent divi-
dend stock could be worth two or three
times its income value Is economically
unsound,' to quote an expression we
farmers have heard numerous times in
the past eight years"
He asserted that after eight years of
effort the farmer now "Sees Federal
farm Board getting into action to fos-
ter cooperating marketing and give to
agriculture the collective bargaining
power that legislation already has as
sisted in giving manufacturing and in
dustry, finance and commerce and
labor"

Duke of Alba Is Mentioned
as Successor to Premier
De Rivera.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 18.-A Gibraltar
dispatch to the Daily News today reports
that increased attacks on the dictator
ship OF Premier Primo de Rivera have
induced King Alfonso to propose that
the Duke Of Alba form a new govern
ment. The correspondent said the
opposition to the premier was coming
from those who condemn his financial
policy as incompetent as well as from
his usual opponents.
The Duke of Alba, who is 81 years
old and a close friend Of the King,
never has taken part in politics, but
1t was supposed he had been suggested
as the best means Of saving difficult
situation.
The duke is almost as English as
Spanish, being a descendant Of the
royal family of Stuarts and of the
Churchill family. His full title is Duke
Of Alba and Berwick, the latter title
having been bestowed on an ancestor
by James II Of England.

Business liberty is held on the tenure
of good behavior" William Butterworth,
president of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, declared during
the Collier hour which was broadcast
last night over the National Broadcast
ing Co. system.
Business must understand that. as
such. it has no sacred privileges which
the public is bound to respect" he
added. lit must realize that If it is to
retain legitimate liberty it must win
and keep public confidence: and the
only way to win public confidence is
to deserve it,"
Mr., Butterwortha declared, however,
that If the public is to appraise and
fairly judge the value of economic
processes and the character of business
practices, it must be properly informed.
It's information, he, stressed, should be
kept fully abreast of the rapid and ex-
tensive manifestations Of business
growth and evolution.
These changes, resulting from the
normal unfolding of the economic struc-
ture, he pointed out. necessarily con-
front the public with new business
technique. new processes, new methods
and new practices.
