held that Nicholas Longworth, Speaker
of the House, and two other Represent
atives, composing the House once Build
ing commission, were the ones to have
been charged.

counsel, brought into his argument two
cases which he held as presidents. One
was the Public Printer, who was con-
victed of a smoke violation at the Gov
eminent Printing once, and the other
was the chief clerk Of the Post once,
who was held liable for the same charge
in his building He said that both were
described as the superintendents of the
buildings. and Lynn WAS described in
the statute books as the superintendent
of the Capitol building and grounds.

would charge Speaker Longworth and
his commission II another violation was
reported at the Capitol, Mr.. Thomas
replied, mo, sir; I would charge Mr..
Lynn"

lief that Lynn was the legal occupant
of the Capitol and the agent Of the
United States Government to care for
the Capitol and its attendant build
ings. Burkinshaw argued that Lynn Is
not the agent of the Government, but
the servant Of his country.

 NEXT CONGRESS
Defense of Eighteenth Amendment Now Be-

NATIONAL EDUCATION
 PROGRAM DEMANDED
Senator Fess Calls for Ac- tion-G. o. P. Split
 Is Interpretation

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 12.- The Drys are girding for a battle in Congress, buttressing a defense around the Eighteenth Amendment.
 The first step in their contem- plated program is national edu- cation program which has been called for by Senator Simeon D. Fess, Republican of Ohio, a staunch Prohibitionist, who carries the du- ties also of the Chairman of the National Committee.
 The people will never stand for the return of the saloon nor give up the Eighteenth Amendment. We need a National campaign for edu- cation" said Senator Fess.
 This stand is interpreted as a warning that any move by the Party against the Eigh- teenth Amendment in the 1892 campaign will bring split in the Party.
 senator F'e5S mas been mention ed as a potential leader for reor- ganization of the Drys and 1t ap- pears as if some of the burden will be taken off the Anti-Saloon League which for many years has borne it.
 Both Drys and Vets in Congress are expecting a renewal of the con- flict sometime after the Prohibition report by Hoover's Law Enforce ment Commission.
 Harassed by curious members, the Commission has been pleading to be left alone until the report is made in defense of the Amend ment in Congress.
 Senator Fess admitted the Jones law penalties failed to benefit En- forcement.

President in Amistice Day Address Pleads
 for Peace
NAVAL LIMITATION
 IS ACCORDED PRAISE
I'm m unity of Foodstuffs
 from Seizure at Sea Is Advocated

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 12.- A renewed appeal for adherence by the United States to the World Court and broad participation by this country in friendly efforts to maintain peace was made by Pres ident Hoover in his Armistice Day address yesterday before the An- nual Conference and Goodwin Congress of the World Alliance for International Friendship through Churches.
 The President pointed out that various treaties were being worked out for the settlement of difficult tis among nations.
 "In the development of methods for pacific settlement, great hope lies in the ever extending body of principles of International Law on which settlements are based" said the President.
 "The World Court is now strongly established and it's permanence is assured. From it there is steadily growing body of precedents and decisions. International laws are in formulation which we should have a part, not only for our own inter- est but for the advancement of peace"
 The President referred to the United States proposal of making foodstuffs immune on the high seas in case of war and said this was made not only for humani- tarian purpose but because it would make nations depending on over- seas for food less anxious to build large navies.
 ''The purpose of our government is to cooperate with others in the use of friendly offices in an effort to maintain peace" said the Presi- dent, and he added that one of the major frictions among great naval powers has been competition of naval construction, but that this has been eliminated by the adop- ton of the London Naval treaty.

Alaska Washington Pilot Still Hopes to Get
 Renahan Party
QUICK ACTION NEEDED BEFORE FALL OF SNOW
Hunters from Bellingham Plan to Help Seek
 Missing Airmen '

Hoping to concentrate search for Pilot Robin (Pat) Renahan and his two companions missing in an air plane since October 28, Chief Pilot Anscel Eckmann, of the Alaska Washington Airways, has reached Ketchikan and wired the Naval authorities an urgent plea to press American Government ships into the search and aid private interests and the Canadian Government, ac- cording to advices received by The Empire.
 Search Before Snowfall
 Pilot Eckmann says it is im- perative that search of the terri tory adjacent to Lucy Island be made immediately, before snow falls which would cover traces of wreckage in case Renahan came down on land.
 Pilot Renahan's plane was last seen passing over Lucy Island.
 Pilot Eckmann says he has cov- cred 5000 miles in his search by plane from Seattle but has only scratched the country.
 Although Eckmann is passing at Prince Rupert, he believes the search must be conducted in Alas kan waters in the future.
 Missing Canadians 1,ax ranniUQd regarding the missing two Canad- ian planes and the five men aboard. The men were Flight Lieut.. L. R. Phinney, Flying Officer c. R. Dun- lap, Sergeant A. H. Warner and Corporals w. O. Atwood and M. Squires.
 With Pilot Renahan were Sam Clerf and Frank Hatcher. They were bound north in search Of Capt. E. J. A. Burke and his two companions, Emil Kading and Rob Marten, missing since they took off from Liard Post October II.
 Deer Hunters on Search
 Advices received by The Empire from Bellingham state that five men will turn deer-hunting ex- petition into an impromptu search ing party when they embarked Mo- vember 8 on the forty foot cruiser Nohusit owned by Art Hook, on a two weeks trip in Canadian waters.
 Hook, a friend of Pat Renahan. plans numerous side trip in search of the lost pilot.
 While much of the time in the trip will be spent in hunting near Knights Inlet, the party will make numerous side trips in the Me- Kenzie Sound district in an effort to find some trace of Renahan and his two aides.
 Other members of the party will be: J. M. Raynor, of Pasadena; Dr. c. s. Hood, Ferndale; Roy Lehman, Ferndale; Ed Watson and J E. Owens, of Bellingham.
 Cygan Returns
 According to advices from Ket- chikan the Cygan has returned there after searching for Renahan. Ketchikan advices state that Ren- ahan must have made false land- ing in the dark and gone to the bottom, somewhere between Lewis Island and Prince Rupert, and that the plane went under.

DOMESTIC PROPAGANDA

LONDON, Nov, 12.-The Soviet indictments of eight prominent Russians for alleged revolutionary plotting with the French and Brit ish Governments officials is believ- ed here to be in the form of domestic propaganda and is not to be taken seriously.
 Mild amusement followed the reaction of the report and Sir Henry Deterding, mentioned as be- ing one of those accused as as- sociated with Russians, laughed outright and commented:
 That is confession of weak neas to have to concoct stories like that and disguise the fact that the whole system is breaking up and the end is near"
 Neither Winston Churchill nor Sir John Simon. also accused, have taken more than passing interest in Russia.
