Roth Claim Victory


 Washington, April A LP - Both vets and drys claimed today to have emerged victorious from the house judiciary committees investigation of conditions under the prohibition laws, which saw the dry statutes bitterly assailed and staunchly de- tended by a long succession of wit nesses.
 The committee, with a volum- inous transcript of testimony to show for it's extended hearings, planned to take no further action or to report any legislation based upon the investigation.
 The hearings were conducted on proposals that the 18th amendment be repealed. although their purpose, as phrased by Chairman Graham, vas to permit the wet spokesmen to place their views before the coun- try.
 With the inquiry at an. end, inter- est in the prohibition issue centered upon the sessions of the senate lobby committee, which is conduct ing an investigation of organizations formed to oppose or sponsor the anti-liquor statutes. Today, it was engaged 'in tracing out the activities of the Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment.
 Curran Recalled Today
 The president of that organiza- ton, H. H. Curran was called to the witness stand for his seventh day of testimony and interrogation. Members of the committee were ready with questions based upon correspondence seized from the files of the association by subpoenas. The house group, during its ses- sion heard the prohibition laws wig orously assailed by the wet and then spiritedly defended by the drys. Two days of rebuttal by the anti-prohibi- tionists, yesterday and Wednesday, brought the inquiry to a close. In an endeavor to refute the statements of dry witnesses, the vets presented two noted football coaches, Tad Jones of Yale; and William w. Roper of Princeton. and Sir Henry Drayton, who is in charge of the Ontario system of liquor dis tribution through government dis pensaries.
 | As the last witness of the investl- gation he testified late yesterday that the government sale system was instituted because a bone dry law had net proved successful. l.. 1 C. Drury. a former premier of On tario, appearing for the drys had said that the government sale plan was failure.
 Sir Henry told the committee that the effectiveness of the Ontario law depended largely upon the extent of cooperation from social workers. We tind," he said, that where we are fortunate enough to have close cooperation, the results are excel 1 lent"

enforcement from the treasury to the justice department. was favor ably reported to the senate today by the unanimous vote of the judi ciary committee.
 Only one amendment, giving the attorney general a free hand in selecting his enforcement staff, was made in the Williamson measure as it was passed by the house.

PRISONERS QUIET AND OBEY ORDERS
(Continued From First Page)

as the state prepared to wind up its investigation of last Mondays prison fire that resulted in the death of 320 men.
 The board of inquiry transferred it's activities today from the peni- tertiary to the office of Attorney General Gilbert Bettman. A com plete report of the investigation will be placed before Governor Myers Y. Cooper tomorrow. Until then. the governor will take no action regard ing the administrative personnel at the penitentiary.
 No convicts were summoned to appear at the final session of the board. Several guards, including night Captain John Hall, Thomas Watkinson, William Baldwin and Thomas F. Little, were recalled to give further testimony as to their efforts to rescue the ill-fated pris- oners from the locked cells.
 Several Tell of Confusion
 Several witnesses have testified that confusion among the guards was partly responsible for the delay in getting the doors of the burning and smoke-flled cells unlocked.
 As the inquiry neared it's close rumblings of discomfort continued to pervade the old prison, where hundreds of sullen convicts main tained an attitude of passive resis- tance-aimed, their leaders said. at the dismissal of Warden Thomas The revolt, they said, will continue until the end Is achieved.
 Although the prisoners at first were extremely unruly and threat ened to kill guards, it appeared to- day they would confine their re- sistance program to refusing to obey orders. Opposition 10 Thomas was based on prisoners charges that un- der the present regime they were treated cruelty. Other prisoners however, said they had witnessed no brutality.
 As means Of relieving crowded condition at the penitentiary and thereby remove one of the causes for the unrest, Governor Cooper was proceeding with plans for the trans fer of 500 men to the London prison farm.
 Of the S2O victims of the disaster 40 bodies remained unclaimed to- day.. For those stll unclaimed a p.t m. today, the state has pro yided burial places in two Columbus cemeteries in huge graves after { single rite for all over each grave.

 Upon returning to the guard room Dllehay said the warden ordered the guards to get the men out of tho flre-m enaced cells. J. H. Rhoads, { guard, a contradicted part of Dille hays testimony, declaring tha Warden Thomas did not go into the prison court.

Much of Grain Trade Going

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Weakness in
foreign markets broke July wheat
sharply on the Board of Trade to-
day, the price falling to the low
est point OF the season, set on
Wednesday. The other deliveries
were around steady under the sta
biliZation influence.
Liverpool slumped on heavier
shipments from the southern heni-
sphere with confidence lacking.
Corn sagged sharply to within Il
to Il cent Of the lows Of the sea-
son. Oats eaSed minor fraction
in sympathy with the major grains.
At the opening, wheat was Is cent
lower to Is cent higher, with July
of * to IL cent; corn was q to

4 cent down. Provisions were very
strong.
Liverpool Slurnps
Liverpool was lower than expected
and declined further to 11ac to 1ssc
lower at mid-afternoon. Buenos
Aires was off &c early. Wheat
traders hold largely to the idea that
there will be no change for the
better until some bullich develop
ment affects the world situation.
There appears to be large short
interest in July but, while that
month is zoe above a world parity,
traders fear to further extend short
sales owing to the probability that
the farm board will control the
entire visible supply by the end of
July. Much of the trade is going to
Winnipeg where the market 10 free

Oats Depressed
The movement of corn is keeping
up in a somewhat larger volume
than had been expected. A great
part Of the cash article which
comes to Chicago arrives on con-
signment and never appears on the
market. Country offerings are be-
ing held above buyers prices.
Weakness in corn depresses oats
from time to time, but it is being
noticed that buying Of oats against
sales OF corn also is being done. The
market has been adhering to mar
row range.
