 Ninety-siN per cent Of the str- dents who do not drink refrain froGl personal taste and per cent because of legal restriction.
 Commenting editorally oH the outcome Of it's poll, the Brown Daily Herald, undergraduate publications, stated that i've must take stand as common sense directs an throw ourselves into the so-call5l wet camp.
 Declaring it was obvious that pro- hibition was not reducing studeot drinking, the editorial concluded We don't want the saloon. w don't want present conditions. We believe that there is a middle courss sensible restriction rather than i'm possible prohibition"

attention, each speaker dcvoting at least half of his time in throwing taunts at the officers of the law, calling them tools of the bosses. Yaris opened the meeting by shout ing at the top of his voice that plain clothes policemen had been sent to the hall with instructions to break up the meeting and arrest the ringleaders. He claimed that al- though the local police had made series of arrests during the past few weeks in an attempt to keep the alleged Reds out of the city, the Trade Union Unity league was here to stay and had established headquarters at 100 Beaver street, which would open every morning at 9:30 o'clock for the purpose of or Ganizing the workers.
 Police Remain QuicsCent
 Time after time the speakers hurled taunts at the police, but the officers looked on passively and took the condemning statements in good humor, making no attempt to stop che wild shouting of the Commun- ist speakers. Personal remarks were addressed against Sergeant Fecncy, Yaris stating that he had filled out an application for mem- bcrship at the last meeting but that

it was torn up as men of his type quiet smile to the officers lips but otherwise he remained unmoved. After the collection had been taken to raise money to get legal aid for the Communists under arrest, Yaris again brought Sergeant Feeney into the limelight by stating that he had contributed a quarter to the collec- ton, another charge that was in tended to excite both the gathering in the hail and the police to ac- ton.
 Boy Predicts Another War
 Hirsh, the youngest speaker of the evening, addressed particularly the young workers and declared that the arms barley was a rusc and predicted another war. He gave long address on the World war.
 Considerable amusement occurred when the clock in the front of the hall stopped. Yaris frequently mentioned the time. In the midst of his speech, the audience noticed that the clock had suddenly stopped and a roar of laughter was heard as someone cried out that it was evidently bored at Yaris' declara- tions.
 The crowd was unusually quiet

MILLION WORDS IN
 PROHIBITION CAUSE
Drys Have One Day Left to
 Complete Arguments

: Washington, March 21 UP)-A million words of wet and dry argu- . rnents were in the records of the house judiciary committee hearing today by stenographic count as pro- . hibitionists were mastering their , big guns to close their case next ' Wednesday or Thursday.
 Sixteen days during the last two :. months have been devoted by the F committee to developing the exist ing prohibition situation from those . on both sides of the question. It was , supposed to be prohibition on trial - after 10 years on the statute books. But the jury-the committee-still . stands about 13 to 4 in favor of the defense.
 Last Group Chosen In a final drive, the drys will . produce next week, Dr. F. Scott ; McBride, legislative superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league; Dr. i. Clarence True Wilson of the Metho- dist board of temperance, prohibi- ton and public morals, and E. C.. Dinwiddie. of the World League . Against Alcoholism-the big three , of prohibition in Washington.
 The following week the Associa- . ton Against the Prohibition Amend . ment will be given an opportunity for rebuttal. Chairman Graham of . the committee announced today . there would be no limit of time on the wet rebuttal and in accordance with the custom of the courts there , would be no sur-rebuttal allowed @ the drys.
 Closing of the hearings will not {, mean an end of the prohibition controversy, however. It is sched- uled to turn next to the senate.
 Transfer Bill Next
 The first clash will come when the Williamson bill transferring en- forcement from the treasury to the justice department is brought up ! in the senate. It already has pass ed the house.
 |. Meanwhile the senate Judiciary . committee is to meet Monday to vote on the Norris resolution call ing for a senatorial inquiry into the , federal enforcement unit. A fight 2 over this also is promised on the floor.
 With these prospects and others in the offing it appears likely a good part of the spring will be de- voted bv the senate +o Inc nrohihi
