 ON DRY FUND

WASHINGTOIy, Marcn 2.-The $3,000,000 compromise proposed at the conference on the second de- ficiency supply bill was with con- sent of Senator Harris, author of the $24, 100000 dry fund provision
 Senator Harris won his fight in the Senate when the $24.000090 proposal was adopted in the first deficiency bill but which died in conference. It was abandoned in the second deficiency bill and Presl- dent Coolidge recommended an in- crease of S2,724O0O which the House accepted and incorporated in the second bill.
 Two measures are now in confer ence between the Senate and House. They carry more than S2l5,000000 for a variety of Federal projects throughout the country.
 Senator Harris said: T feel I won the principle of my fight The Administration recognized more money was needed for the enforce ment of the law It isn't as much as wanted but I have confidence Hoover will recommend the full 324,C00,000 increase"
