 Presents Priests Letter

Callahan also presented a letter from Monsignor M. E. Foley. of Baltimore, who wrote that from his experience before prohibition in the l Maryland city that he had regarded the old saloon as "lawless and a menace to order, decency and moral ity' The letter added:
 "The shouters for personal lib- crty,' unable to deny that the cid saloon was a blot on civilization and menace to good government, tell Us that they do not want to bring back the old saloon, but a heavenly resort where angels might gather and men may drink their fill of what they will and not get drunk. beat their wives, starve their children CT commit murder.
 We hear lot of rot about the bringing back of light wines and beer as the panacea for the evils laid at the door of prohibition and as the great European promoter of temperance. Nonsense! The vets today, some consciously. some un- consciously. are preparing the way for the return of the good old saloon with all it's horrible satellites.
 Most "Noble Experiment. 'I believe that the 18th amend ment is what President Hoover de- clared it, a noble experiment, the most noble a great nation ever tried to save it's people from frightful evils. I believe the eighteenth amendment to be a more noble eX- pertinent even than that which be- gan at Concord and ended at York town.
 We are now having on a larger and more dangerous basis, the reival of the 'whskey instruction Of 1794."
 In more detail MT. Callahan pre- scented statistics compiled by the census bureau in support of his |. claim.
 Cites Saving of Life Taking the average losses of life before and after prohibition from alcohol, cirrhosis of the liver and Bright's disease and granting that 50 per cent of cases of the last were caused by drinking, he argued that 140,S00 lives had been saved by the dry laws.
 Deaths from alcohol had been re- duced, he said, from 5.2 to 2.S per 100000 of population and deaths from Bright's disease from 105.3 to 91.5 per 100000 of population.
 He arrived at his final figures, he said, by passing his calculations on a total population of 1oo,00o,00o. The estimate of 50 per cent of cases of Bright's disease being due to liquor he took from the senate pro- hibition investigation of several years ago.
 Mass Not Interfered With Callahan denied that prohibition was identified only with Protestant ism. Once, he said, the charge was made and is still heard occasionally, that prohibition was Protestantism and purposely planned to interfere with Catholic services by ultimately making it impossible 10 offer up the sacraments of the mass"
 He declared that nothing could have been further from the truth" and that such a charge was clearly "an instance of using religious pre- judice for material purposes

of the 18th amendment.


 The second day of the commit tees inquiry devoted to the sup porters of the dry laws found Miss Strawbridge ready with the results of a poll which she conducted among the social leaders of her own and other cities on the much de- bated question of whether prohibi- ton has failed or succeeded. Leaders of the dry forces pre- senting the Philadelphia woman as witness, regarded her testimony as an important factor in the pro- gram they have drawn up to an- swer the severe condemnation of the anti saloon statutes before the com- mittee in the seven days that were devoted to the vets
 Drys Get Same Time
 The drys have been given the same number of days to present their side of the argument and in- tend to keep the committee busy with testimony throughout the en- | tllC llHlC dlOltCu lO llicIi. Aitto' Lenna Lowe Yost, legislative direc tor of the Women's Christian Tenn perance union, is in charge of the dry program. In addition to Miss Strawbridge, today's witnesses included Repre- sentative Burtness, republican. North Dakota: Patrick II. Callahan, a business man of Louisville, Ky. general secretary of the Association of Catholics Favoring Prohibition. and former president of the Ma tional Paint, Oil & Varnish asso- ciation: c. P. Connally of East Or ange, N. J.; and Louis H. Taber of Columbus, O., master of the Ma tional Grange, who has appeared before congressional committees many times in connection with agri- cultural legislation.
 To Rcfutc Statements
 Representative Burtness sought particularly to refute statement made in the wet testimony regard ing his state. Pierce Blewett, farm- CT, had testified that prohibition was responsible for many Of the hardships of North Dakota farmers because it brought about a curtail- cd demand for barley.
 | The North Dakota house member was in receipt of a statement sign ed by a large number of officials and prominent citizens of his state taking exception to Blewett's testi- mony, which he intended to present to the committee.

 Mir. Merritt said: "Mr. Glynn's death is not only a great shock but the state and to his constituents. While he did not seek publicity, he was able and industrious and thor ough in the performance of his du- ties, upright and honest in thought .and deed. He had much influence among his colleagues. and especial ly among those who knew him best.
 Personally l found him most congenial. and by his death l lose well beloved friend. His Constitu- ents will long remember him as an able, upright and faithful public servant and loyal citizen"
 Mr. Tenn said: With the other members of the Connecticut delega tion I am overcome with sorrow at the loss of Mr. Glynn. His long service and constant attention to his duties, his sane and sound req soning, made him a valuable mem- bcr of the house, Personally he was highly esteemed by his fellow members and had the confidence and respect of his district. which he served so well and so long. He will be missed in Washington, in his dis trict and in Connecticut.
 Mrs. Glynn and her husbands $ secretary arranged to leave with the body at o'clock this afternoon. l due at Hartford at 11:l5. From Hartford they will go to Winsted by fautomobilc.
 Senator Hiram Bingham, a warm friend said of Mr. Glynn: T am ineXprossibly shocked to learn Of | Glynn.

He had the respect and admiration of all those who knew him. His place will be hard to fill.'
 Senator Frederic C. Walcott was much depressed by the news of Rep. James r. Glynn's death. The news reached the senator while he was at the White House. He immediate ly called upon Mrs. Glynn and ex- , tended his sympathy.
 T have spoken in campaigns with Congressman Glynn for the last eight years" Senator Walcott said We lived in neighboring villages for D years and l not only admired Glynn, as every one knew him, fo, his sturdy qualities as a man, his effectiveness as a legislator, but had a deep affection for him for those qualities of heart, answering loy- alty and determination always to dc the right, universal kindiness, whicl have endeared him not only 10 his immediate constituency but to a hos Of friends and associates in Wash. lngton, Mrs. Walcott and I expccr to leave here Sunday to attend tn,

From the time he was twenty until he broke with the Kaiser in 1918 Admiral Von Tirpitz's life was one of most intimate association with the German navy. In 1897 he became secretary of state for the imperial navy. and holding it until his quarrel with Wilhelm, generally is given credit for instigating and organizing it to it's high peak of efficiency.
 He and Wilhelm were said to have come to the parting of the ways on the very submarine war fare which afterward led the United States into the war and probably contributed greatly to Germany's eventual defeat. Wilhelm was for a vigorous submarine offensive than Won Tirpitz.
 In his last years at q small villa on Starnberger lake Admiral Von Tirpitz liked nothing better than the company of a few genial compan- ions. His guests came from all the world, he was father of two sons and two daughters, born of his happy marriage with Marie Lipic.
