ACTION BY HOUSE
HIT BY CRUSADERS
Approval of Poison Dena-
turant Declared Accessory
to Murder.

Vigorous announcement of the action
taken by the House in approving the
use of wood alcohol as a denaturant
was expressed by the Washington Cru
saders, meeting at the Hay-Adams
House Wednesday.
In characterizing the legislative move
to curtail the flow of alcohol as legal
lied and organized murder" the CRU
saders issued the following statement:
According to well accepted prin-
ciple of law, any one who has the least
thing to do with the committing of a
murder is as guilty of murder as the one
who actually commits the crime For
example, a man who suggests to another
man that he commit a murder, is con-
sidered as guilty as the one who COM
mitS the murder.
I'm this case, the House of Repre-
ssntatives passes law requiring the
Government to place poison in alcohol
when it knows that some of that alco-
hol will be drunk by its citizens and
as result of drinking the poisoned al
cohol isome of its citizens will die. Even
though citizen be violating the law
in purchasing this alcohol, although it is
not definitely known whether It be
crime to purchase liquor. it Is certainly
murderous to place something in the
alcohol which may, and has, and will
cause death"

Semi Annual Collection of Taxes Approved as Amendment to Charter
 And Will Be Referred to Voters

way to determine the sentiment of the public would be to have them vote on it. Comptroller Day asked ii the sent 'ment of the common council would be a good indication of the feeling of the public, to which Councilman Murphy replied that he believed the council would favor the new system but he could not say whether that would be fair indication of the attitude of the public.
 Rather than hold another meet ing. the committee voted to have a report prepared, explaining the various details of the proposed sys- tcm and mailed to the individual members for their approval before it is presented to the council for ac- tion at the December meeting.
 In the event that the common council rejects the committees recommendation, the charter revi- ter and send it back to the council With its report on other proposed charter changes but it would prob ably be killed again unless the council underwent a change Of at titude in the meantime.
 Should the council approve of the special committees report and the legislature should grant the author- ity to install the proposed system only to have the voters at the polls reject the proposal, the sum total of the matter would be that the charter would include the necessary author ity but no action would be taken to put the change into effect, as the special committee agreed upon the use of the word may" instead of "shall' in the proposed charter amendment. There are several charter provisions giving the city the authority to do certain things should the advisab bility or need be- come apparent.

KING WILL STAY AT REID ESTATE
Slams Ruler to Have Delicate
 Eye Operation

New York, Dec. 1 LP) - One of Westchester county's great estates will be the residence of King Praja Dhipok of Siam when he and his queen visit the United States next spring, and the king will have in at tendance on him one of New York's best known eye surgeons.
 The Ophir farm of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, near White Plains, about 30 miles north of New York, had been offered to the king and accepted by him as his residence. There in May Dr. J. M. Wheeler, head of the op- tlcal department of the Presbyterian hospital. assisted by Dr. Thomas H. Johnson, will operate on the young monarch for cataracts.
 Doctors Selected
 Emissaries of King Praja are said to have consulted doctors and sur geons both in the United States and Europe before choosing Doctor Wheeler as the man to perform the delicate operation.
 Dr. Wheeler never has seen King Praja and does not know the exact condition of his eyes or just what measures of treatment or operation may be necessary. Siamese doctors, however, have diagnosed the kings trouble as cataracts and feel an operation is necessary. This will be decided definitely when he arrives late next April. Newsreel photo- graphs of King Praja show him wearing thick -lensed glasses.
 Arrangements for the use of the home of Mrs Reid, widow of the former ambassador to Great Brit ain, were made through the Siamese legation and the state department in Washington.
 Mrs. Reid will turn the farm over to King Praja and the corps of ser wants he is expected to bring with him. It is being done without charge and the king will be her guest, al though she will not be present as his hostess.
 B Years Old Nov.
 King Praja Dhipoll was 31 years old on November 8. He succeeded to the throne in 1925 on the death of his brother, King Rama VI who died without leaving a male heir. Rama had deposed his queen only a month before his death and taken another queen in the hope of having an heir.
 King ja was educated in Eng land. He visited the United States once in 1925. He drives an American speedboat and likes 10 play golf and squash. at both of which he is said 10 be adept.

Chicago, Dec. R-Armageddon. the meeting place of ancient nations. and battle-ground of untold centur- | ies, is unfolding it's secrets to the modern world.
 From halfway round the globe, men have gone to Palestine to ex- tract new detail in the mosaic of civilization from the crumbling ruins of a mountain pass. For a few thousand dollars, when once no money would suffice, the | Oriental institute of the University of Chicago has purchased the right to eXcavate on the site of the storied city, Dr. James II. Breasted, head of the institute, revealed today how cross- section of human works of | bygone centuries slowly is showing itself on the hills beneath Mt. Car mel.
 Chicago Probe Started Stone Age to Solomon to Pales- tine of 1880, with only the mountain peaks enduring - Armageddon IS | yielding visual history to the chip ping knives of the Chicago expedi- 1 tions.
 It was Armageddon of which St, John wrote in revelations; Armagej- | don, the site of the last great war, when the nations arc gathered to the battle of that great day of God Almighty"
 Of the city which guarded the plains dwelling Canaanites from at tack, he said:
 And I saw three unclean spirits | like frogs come out of the mouth Of the dragon and out of the mouth Of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. r For they are the spirits Of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and Of the whole world. to gather them to the battle Of that great day of Go1 Almighty.
 ! Behold, I come as thief, bless cd is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked. and they sec his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." | It was Armageddon where, 15 centuries before the Saviour, Can aanites and Egyptians under Thut- nose III fought under the fortress ed hills in the first known conflict on that site.
 ! It was Armageddon where, 20 1 centuries after the Saviour. Lord l Allenby led a British army forth 10 meet the Turks on World War salient. and sent them flying back over the trail the hosts of Egypt once had taken.

CANADIAN PREMIER
SEES BRIGHTER ERA
Plan OF Economic Co.opera-
ton Proposed at London
Would Be Achieved.

LONDON. October Premier r.
B. Bennett Of Canada, in a radio
broadcast TO the people of Great Britain
and Canada, last night, expressed con-
f1dence that a great plan of empire
economic cooperation could. be made
effective and that the dark days Of
anxiety were passing
The premier referred to the plan
proposed by Canada at the imperial
conference for closer economic relations
and sounded warning that If this
opportunity were neglected 1t might not
come again.
Not Intended as Threat.
'This, I need not tell you" he said,
sis in no sense intended as threat.
It is rather prediction, which, unhap-
Isiy ] believe TO be true. For we must
all have a regard for the basic changes
in conditions of world trade and realize
that in this age of great industrialisa:
ton and fierce competition the old
rules, which in their time were good
rules, may very web be now, If they
are followed, signposts to commercial
disaster"
With reference to the British Labor
governments attitude, which has hith-
erto been opposed to taxation Of food
stuffs and basic materials for industry,
Premier Bennett remarked:
Il shall not refer to the reception our
proposal has received In the near flu
ture it will be either accepted or re-
jected.
Importance of Decision.
I'VE can only await the decision. It
will be a momentous one: for I believe,
and believing I consider it my duty to
saw. that If this opportunity for closer
economic relations is not seized 1t may
not come again"
The Canadian premier asserted that
the threat of commercial disaster must
be. a challenge to action, to wide and
immediate action, which will sweep from
your way the obstacles that deny you
the greater future which should right
fully follow on your great past"
