.WET-DRY FIGHT
GROWS WARMER

WASHINGTON, June 4.-tF-
The wet-dry fight In the house to-
day conferred upon a bill to
strengthen prohibition enforce
ment by authorizing United states
Commissioners to try petty Of
tenders against the anti-liquor
Statutes.
1t was one of four approved by
the Hoover law enforcement COM
mission as a means OF reducing
the present congestion In the
federal courts. The three others
we're passed by the House late
Yesterday and today awaited action
by the Senate. They We're:
The Stobbs Bill TO fix the
maximum punishment for q mis-
demeanor at six months imprison-
ment and $500 fine: the Moore Bill
to permit an accused person 70
waive the constitutional right of
trial by jury; and the Christoph-
erson Bill to amend the United
States Codes definition OF a
mlsdemeanor and fix the penalties
for such offenses in conformity
with the Stohbs measure.
The wet bloc sought to prevent
action on the bills but was over
ruled in q debate on the procedure
under which they were to be con-
sidered. II succeeded, however, In
deferring q vote on the fourth
measure until today.
The vets asserted that this bill
was contrary TO existing judicial
procedure and unconstitutional. A
number Of members ordinarily clas-
sified as drys joined them in this
view. Laguardia of New York, and
Bachmann Of West Virginia, Re-
publicans, and Tucker of Virginia,
ard Celler of New York. Democrats
led the fight against the measure.
