to the probable pitchers for the OPEN

In this game HaIlahan allowed only

can be wild at times and his bases ON

CANNON SAYS LAW STANDS.
WoodcOck's Home Brew View Held Mere
Assertion Of Policy.

WoodcOck's Home Brew View Held Mere
Assertion Of Policy.
BY the Associated Press.
Bishop James Cannon, jr., said today
q declaration by Prohibition Director
Amos w. w. Woodcock that home
made, me-consumed wine and beer
are immune TO Federal interference
cannot change the law" and merely
indicates the policy Of the Government
In enforcement"
The chairman of the Board Of
Temperance and Social Service Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. com
mented:
col. woodcoek can merely indicate
the policy of the Government in en-
forcement, and outline difnctIlties which
the Government may have IN enforcing
the law"
woodeock had explained that it was
impossible for Federal enforcement
officers to reach home brews because
they cannot search a private dwelling
without a search warrant. When the
liquor is made and consumed without
sale or transportation, officers cannot
apprehend the violators.
"Al I can say" Bishop Cannon as
serted. "is that there is no question o
the meaning of the prohibition amend
ment-I was one Of seven who wrote 1t.
1.-The amendment distinctly says,
the bishop added, that the manufac
ture, sale, importation, expectation
etc, of intoxicating liquor Is prohibited
That means anywhere-in the hom
or anywhere else. The Volstead act de
fines intoxicants as anything contain
ing one-half of / per cent alcohol. No
body can change that fact.
"Col Woodcocks statement-whicl
I have not seen-cannot change tn
law" the bishop said. II am not crit
icizing any one, but / maintain tn
statement is merely an explanation
which does not affect the law-that J

BROOKHART SEES
WAR BY RAILROADS
Takes Issue With Sargent's
Statement Government Is
Drifting to Confiscation.

BY the Associated Press.
Taking issue with Fred w. Sargent,
president of the Chicago Northwestern
drifting toward confiscation Of railroads
through slIbsidies for construction Of in
land waterways and public roads, Senator
Brookhart. Republican, Iowa, today said
this statement was tantamount to a
declaration Of war by the railroads on
the Nations waterway improvement
plans.
Sargent asserted before the American
Bankers Association in Cleveland yes
terday that the Governments policy Of
paying the expense OF constructing
waterways to be used IN competition
with railroads out of taxpayers money
was contrary to the Constitution.
THE people of the West were happy
in the thought that the Government
had adopted general policy of improve
ing the inland waterways Brookhart
said. Now the whole policy is threat
ened by an attack of the railroads"
This attack" he continued, lis not
mere idle vaporings, but the mature
country. 1t means that every legal arti-
flee will be used to stop the improve
ment Of cur rivers in competition with
the railroads"
The Government subsidized the rail-
roads. he said, by giving them 1884,
00o,0 acres of land Tor construction
and later again subsidized them when
private operation broke Gown under the
World War strain. The railroads
padded their expenses, he asserted, to
make Government operation appear I'M
successful
With a record like this" he said,
lit seems strange indeed that Mr.. Sar.
gent or any railroad man should come
forward with an argument against
building public roads and waterways az
subsidies"
Railroads" he said, paid only 81
tax on 500 gross income, while farmers
in Iowa and other States paid SGT on
the hundred" adding that Sargent's
argument of the tax burden on rail-
roads was unsuhstantial.

the traction lines with real problem in
competition.
The seriousness with which the car
companies already view the cheap-rate
service is reflected in letter which
John H. Hanna, president of the Cap
ital Traction Co. sent this week to the
stockholders.
THE tremendous increase during the
last six months IN the number of cheap
flat-rate taxicabs in Washington" the
letter stated, has seriously added to
the traffic difficulties and has made
great inroads upon our passengers.
From testimony offered by the driv-
ers and owners of cabs at a recent
hearing before the Public Utilities Com
mission the cut-rate service now rem
dered is not rernunerative, and the
number OF cabs now operated may be
leSsened.
Seriousness of Competition.
The seriousness of this competition
as 1t Affects us Is due to the ability of
the cabs to operate when and where thev
WILL, While We must furnish continuous
service on approved schedules under all
conditions, and are compelled to charge
the same rate of fare for both long and
short rides. Traffic congestion, aug
mented by the increased number Of
cabs, now makes operation of street cars
and buses at reasonable rate of speed
extremely difiicult."
The 200 drivers Of the cabs employed
by the companies which submitted re-
ports to Keech have petitioned him to
oppose the move initiated by the Util-
tiles Commission to require a meter
service. The drivers declared they are
in favor Of zone system as distin-

did not contemplate American "intef-
meddhng' with the internal Affairs Of
Cuba. Only such acts as would main
tain an adequate government to protect
hives and property and fulfill American
obligations under the treaty Of Paris,
concluding the Spanish-American War,
would be justified under the declaration
as communicated at that time to the
late Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, then IN
Cuba.
At a conference with newspaper men,
however, Secretary Stimson was careful
to point out that, while the United
States has never interviewed to main
tain any Cuban government in power,
each case must be looked upon accord
ing TO its merits and q case might arise
In the future which might distinguish
IL from those which the American Gov
eminent uses as precedentS for Its pres
ent policy.
Maintain Close Watch.
Although this statement by the Sec
rotary might be interpreted as indi-
eating the State Department looked for
possible change in It's policy In the
present situation, the general opinion
among observers here last night was
that only as q last resort would the
American Government at the present
time take decisive and drastic action
so far as Cuba was concerned.
The policy Of the State Department
at present, Stimson said, is one Of MAIN
tanning a Rose watch of the Cuban
situation, with no intention Of minimiz-
ing 1t.
This statement was the first indica-
ton the State Department has given
that IL considered the situation In Cuba
deserved more than casual scrutiny.

State. and william r. Castle, jr, As
sistant Secretary Of State, on differen,
occasions while acting secretaries dur
ing the past FIVE weeks, minimized the
Cuban situation in reply to questions By

MANILA. p. J., october 3.-Gov. Gen.
Dwight r. Davis says that Philippine
revenues indicate that the islands trade
Is in a position perhaps enviable to
other countries, and that, though de-
preston exists, the Philippines are suf-
fering comparatively little.
The vernacular press indicates that
excellent political feeling is re-estab-
hshed between Filipino leaders and
Washington. The islands show In
creasing appreciation Of Secretary Of
War Patrick ]. Hurley's policy. Leaders,
interviewed, express confidence.
President Hoover Is not expected TO
name a vice governor until Congress
meets in December. Meanwhile despite
the depression no material discount Is
evident, and leaders are cooperating
with Gov. Davis, in contrast with the
situation In India, Indo-hina and Java.

Nye had conferred more than an

hope the Department Of Justice would
