Liquor Given Chance.
Stanley High. editor of the Christian
Herald, in an address prepared for de-
livery at the night session, said the
American people," lin good faith with
the liquor business for three-quarters
of a century," had given liquor a
chance. But, he added. they found
out about liquor. That is why we have
prohibition" He said prohibition
would continue as long as folks remem-
Der what they learned about the liquor
business.
Mr.. High questioned the purpose of
those who want prohibition abolished
when he said: II do not believe the
average wet newspaper fights against
prohibition because 1t believes it will
gain by winning the fight Nor do ]
believe that liquor is so hard to get that
the average wet Is made wet by his

game of golf
Her putting, fortunately, was
vastly improved over the last two
days, and she seemed much more
confident on the green's.
The only indication at the first
tee that the elements planned to
take the enjoyment out of today'S
play was a sharp breeze from the
sea that carried a threat of the
storm to come. 1t broke in all its
fury while Glenna and Miss Brown
were approaching the ninth, and
both players were thoroughly
drenched.
Glenna found less difficulty with
her putting today. and in spite
of two skies. she came through the
first nine holes with A 80 against
her opponents Al. As a matter OF
fact. she had four pars and
birdie. which is such marvellous
golf that It seemed a pity two badly
hunkere,1 shots had to deprive her
of a sensationally low score.

After scoring pars at the second

iron shot in a tricky bunker at the

both these holes.
At the sixth, Miss Brown laid her
ball stymie. Miss Collett, two
strokes ahead at this point, met
with one of those tricks of fate
which cause golfers to commit sui

knocked her opponents hall clean

DWIGHT D A Wis
IS CHO|CEFOR
PHILIPPINES

The next governor general of the
Philippines probably will be Dwight
w. Davis, of Missouri, Secretary of
war in the Coolidge Administration,
International News Service learned
today.
President Hoover has been wrest.
ling with this appointment since be-
fore Inauguration, and has at last
narrowed down the list to a few
men, with Davis as the outstanding
and probable appointee, according to
reliable authority.
S25,0OO a Year
The post, in some aspects. is one
nj the most desirable in the Govern.
ment, for it carries salary of $25,-
900 year and a virtual palace in
the islands for residence.
The governor generalskip is now
filled by Eugene Gil
more. vice governor, who took over
the administrative duties upon the
departure of Henry L. Stimson to
become Secretary of State in the
Hoover Administration.
1t is considered a post of con.
siderable importance because of the
difficulties experienced by past
governor generals, notably Gen.
Leonard Wood. and because it is
the American base in the Far East.
Succeeded Weeks
Davis came into public life in
Washington as an Assistant Secre-
tary of War. Upon the death Of
John W. Weeks he was promoted
to the Secretaryship and retired on
March 4 with most of the other
members of the Coolidge Cabinet.
As Secretary of War. Davis is al.
ready familiar with some of the
Philippine problems. for administra.
ton of the islands Is under the
War Department.
In the campaign, he was an active
supporter of Mr.. Hoover and was a
substantial contributor to the Re-
publican campaign fund.
President Hoover endeavored, un-
successfully to persuade William j..
Donovan, former Assistant Attorney
General, to take the post in prefer
ence to a Cabinet post. but Donovan
declined.
Henry p. Fletcher, now Ambassa-
dor to Italy, and Silas Strawn. Chi.
cago lawyer, are others who have
been given serious consideration for
the post. hut present indications
are that Davis appointment will be
announced shortly.

A thorough search of Poto-
mac Yards, one of the most
important railroad transfer
points on the East coast, is
being made today in an effort
to find consignments of IL

North from Florida points.
The search was begun after the
discovery by car inspector, whose
identity has not been disclosed, that
carload of tomatoes was leaking

tomatoes" would have gone
through to their destination without
discovery. The car is equipped
with ice bunkers at each end, and
is loaded from the middle.
In handling tomatoes from Flor.
ida farm centers to the Northern
markets, no ice is used in the bunk
ers and hoboes take advantage Of
this fact. The hoboes ride for days
in the small ice bunkers, which run
the width of the car, and are about
two or three feet wide. At each
end, next to the wire screening be.
tween the ice bunkers and the
cargo-carrying section, were hamp-
ers of real tomatoes.
Car Being Unloaded
Hoboes riding i . the ice boxes
would see the tomatoes and think
nothing of it. Police, always chas-
ing buns" from the 4ins, often
climb into the ice boxes, and they
too would see the tomatoes and the
contraband cargo would go un-
noticed. The bunkers are entered
from the roof of the car.
A sudden application of air brakes.
