Hypocrisy Wet Drys
Denounced ByReed
In Senate Address

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-(P-
Scorn and dcrision for prohibition
and its disciples was shouted in
the senate today by Reed OF Mis-
souri,.
Delivering one OF the few extend
Cd speeches Of the session which
is seeing the Missourian bow him
self voluntarily off the stage of
public service, Reed turned on
those who "vote dry and drink wet"
with a fury which even he has sell
dom approached in the years Of his
turbulent career.
So ~scorching Was his attack that
the long-awaited Reed Borah debate
on prohibition became a possible
oratorical treat for next week. At
the request of Borah the senate
agreed 10 remove the limit on de-
bate. but whether the Idahcan will
decide to reply TO Reed Monday was
not disclosed.
The Missouri democrat contended
that the United States is in a
reign Of hypocrisy and cant. of
violence, c%hicanery, false pretense
and fraud and predicted the time
would come when the American
people would awaken TO the view
that "the p~rohibitory law is the
worst crime that has ever taken
place"
He shouted that a man who vot-
ed dry but nevertheless drinks is
"a coward-a knavish coward and
said he might in time make public
the names of members of congress
whose personal habits are contrary
10 their sentiments as registered by
their votes on prohibition proposals.
The Jones bill to increase pen
altiss for prohibition law violators
was the order of business in the
senate and under a previous agree
ment debate on the measure would
have been limited after 4 p. m. to-
day.
Reed predicted that in time the
country would see the prohibition
law come ito an ignominious end"
"The day will come" he thunder
ed, when the man who votes for
prohibition and who himself violates
the letter and the spirit of the law
will be held in that kind of con
tempt which ought to be visited
upon the knavish ~hypocrite who
masks himself behind pretended vir-
tue. and who seeks to hold office by
virtue of his false p~retense.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. l6.-tPJ-
The latest development in N move.
ment TO curtail Oklahoma's oil out.
put to $4,000 barrels daily came
today in an announcement of the
Barnsdall Oil company that its pro-
duclng wells in the state would be
placed On q six-dav week schedule.
The company issued an order that
it, Oklahoma wells be shut-in for
the 24-hour period beginning mt Z
n m. tomorrow. The shutdown will
BE- repeated each Sunday for an in.
definite period.

president and general manager. s=-
blamed that IL vas merely showing
the way and testing out the sugges-
ton"
The Barnsdall order will affect l25
Oklahoma wells with a daily average
production Of 10000 barrels.
The only objection SO far encoun-
tered by the plan is the chance pro-
duction OF individual wells might be
retarded or killed by the shut-in.
In the face Of the curtailment
program. however. came the reopen
ing OF the Mission pooi of Seminole
county, which had been closed down
by an operators agreement. Drill
ing operations were resumed in the
pool after the state corporation
commission last night had acted IA
vorably on an application OF w. r..
kistler, lease owner, for a lifting
OF the ban. Royalty owners and n
few operators supported Kistler's
petition. saying they were losing
money because of the shutdown.
