NEW YORK, July 28-Dry leaders
of the Nation, in a declaration Of policy
published today. "repudiate all enforce
ment policies that do not regard and
safeguard every personal right guaran-
teed by the Constitution"
The declaration, expressing the con-
fidence OF the signers that prohibition
in the United States is gaining ground
defines the paramount purpose of the
eighteenth amendment as the deStruc-
ton of the traffic in Intoxicating bever-
ages. The enemies of prohibition, ii
declares, try to make this appear as
offensive sumptuary legislation
They insist" it continues, that the
enforcement Of the eighteenth amend
ment involves the invasion of homes
and the infringement of personal
rights in violation of the spirit of the
fourth amendment to the Constitution.
This is not true, and we specifically
repudiate all enforcement policies that
do not regard and safeguard every
personal right guaranteed by the Con-
stitution. The primary and continuous
attack is on the traffic Of Intoxicating
liquors.
Personal habits and the conduct of
the home life is in the field of private
morals. These should not be touched
by the hand of the law unless they
cross their boundary"

BALTIMORE, Md, July 28 R.-

Water shortage conditions in many

with all pumps in order no famine was
near for the city proper.

Chicago with the fatal bullets and
Campbelrs .32-caliber revolver for ar
examination by Maj. Calvin Goddard

Four Promenade Decks.
The portfolios in the cabin are made
of tale instead of glass. Leading from
the saloon to the top deck is a hand
some double staircase, which appears to
be made of wrought steel and mahogany
The wrought steel" however, is made
of geroleum, which is an alloy, lighter
than aluminium, and the mahogany
columns are hollow light wood.
Outside the living quarters are four
promenade decks, an upper and lower
on each side of the vessel. They are
spacious, and will doubtless be the
scene Of many dance.
If disaster were to overtake the
ship passengers would leave the craft
by way OF the control cabin. Sufficient
parachuteS for them all to escape are
to be carried.
When a regular service is established
it will be possible to leave New York on
Saturday night, to do a full days
business in London on Tuesday. and be
back in ones office in New York on the
following Thursday afternoon.
Stewards will be at hand to attend to
passengers every desire. At night, pas
sengers will be able to dance to the
music of bands playing in New York or
London transmitted by concealed loud
speakers on the promenade deck. For
those more seriously minded there is a
comfortable lounge, in which chairs and
tables are dotted about.
Although her designers stress the fact
that the R-100 is entirely an expert
mental ship, still, they have built her
with the intention of opening regular
passenger service across the
Atlantic. The best commercial brains
on both sides have co-operated to con-
slider in what way this may be achieved
The evidence is overwhelmingly in favor
of the fact that a regular line OF air
ships crossing the Atlantic will very
quickly pay large dividends to stock
holders.
The air ministry announced yesterday
that the flight from England to CANADA
would start as soon as weather condl-
tons over the Atlantic were moderately
favorable for an East-to-WeSt crossing
The R-100 was back at her moorine
tower here today, having completed
her 1,200-mile trial trip preparatory to
the voyage to Canada.

Senator Quotes Brossard.
In his letter to Mr.. Mellon, Senator
Reed quoted Chairman Brossard OF the

under the unfair competition provisions.

as saying, that If unfair methods Of
competition or unfair acts in the i'm
portation, or sale of such coal in the
United States are found to exist, upon
recommendation of the Tariff Commits
sion, the President could proclaim an
embargo against its importation"
Reed called attention to the commits

would be valuable.

that several months will be required
