PROHIBITION POLL
OF PRESS HALTED
WoodcoCk Fears Question.
naireS of Bureau Likely to
Be Misinterpreted.

The Prohibition Bureaus plan to poll
the American press on its opinion Of
the Eighteenth Amendment and Vol
stead act was ordered abandoned yes
terday by Amos w. w. Woodcock,
prohibition director, who explained that
the purpose Of the inquiry might be
misunderstood.
As result, letters are being sent out
to 1000 editors asking them to ignore q
QUESTIONABLE which was mailed to them
earlier in the week, asking whether
their paper favored the Eighteenth
Amendment and voIstead act, opposed
them, or were neutral.
Fear Mlsinterpretation.
In view of the fact that prohibition
Is q dominant political issue at present,
the Prohibition Bureau was afraid the
poll might be interpreted as an attempt
to sound out public opinion for political
purposes.
II think we made q mistake In send
ing out this QUESTIONABLE. I am afraid
that its purpose may be misunderstood
and the easiest way out, therefore, is
to recall it."
The QUESTIONABLE really was q brief
letter. It had been sent to the editors
of daily newspapers throughout the
country. Requesting the editors to ig-
more their personal feeling and give
only the attitude of their papers, it
put the following three questions:
IL. Are you supporting the eight
zenith amendment and Volstead act?
~. Are you opposing the eighteenth
amendment and VnIefaaH QHfS
''3. Are you neutral?"
Col. Woodcock was in Chicago when
the QUESTIONABLE was mailed by the re-
search division of the Prohibition Blu
reau. He had approved 1t, but when he
returned to Washington yesterday de-
cided after a conference with members
of his staff that 1t should be recalled.
The replies were to have been used In
the bureaus dry educational campaign.
Through the police powers that are
invested in his large staff of enforce
ment agents, Col. Woodcock expects
successfully to dry up the important
sources of commercial liquor. But the
fullest measure of enforcement will not
be realized, he said, until the American
public has been re-educated to believe
that alcohol as a beverage is bad
physically and economically.
Praises Metropolitan Police.
The prohibition director praises the
enforcement activities of the police in
Chicago. AS in New York, he said, he
found the local police cooperating with
Federal enforcement agents as much as
could be expected.
But" he was asked, ''if it is true
that the police of New York and Chi
cago, two of the wettest spots in the
country, are cooperating so efficiently,
what hope can there be for better en-
forcement than we now have?"
Largely through education" he
answered. my men are efficient. !
have confidence that we can stop the
commercial end Of the liquor trade. I
hear, for instance, that there are open
saloons in Newark and Hoboken. We
can get at those places and we will.
But as for the drinking in the homes

Fund From Dry Leader.

is CHOSEN PRESIDENT
Election Of Officers Features Final
Business of International
Session Here.

F. Scott Mcbride, general superin-
tendent Of the Anti-Saloon League,
said last nigth that it had been re-
vea~d that John j. RaSkob, chairman
Of the Democratic National Committee,
sets aside $250,000 annually to get
President Hoover "in bad" and that
the prohibition question comes in for
its full share OF Misrepresentation in
this program"
This assertion was made in the course
Of an address delivered before last
nights closing session of the interna-
tional convention Of the Disciples Of
Christ.
In his speech, Mcbride did not men
ton Raskob by name, but afterWard
he said the Democratic national chair
man was the man to whom he referred.
He said it had been brought to atten-
ton in magazine article by Frank
Kent OF the Baltimore Sun.
With reference to the charge against
Raskob, Mcbride said It may not be
sedition, but it huddles up pretty close
to that 1niquity."
Congress Dry Strength.
In addition, he asserted that grant,
ing the predictions of the vets, the
coming elections will leave 10 more
drys IN the Senate and 80 more in the
eighteenth amendment.
1t is interesting now to notice that
because some Of these wet States are
still wet, that the vets claim q reac-
added.
The opposition to prohibition at the
present time, he asserted, approaches
rebellion and comes almost solely from
the is States that have always been
wet"
I'm every successive congressional
election" he explained, "the vets have
said they would elect q wet Congress,
but when the returns were in 1t has
been repeatedly found that there were
more dry Congressman elected than
there were for submitting tn eighteenth
amendment in the first place"
Urges Continued Warfare.

his opinion, the church should Com

referred to the recent discussion of
Charles Michelsons work as publicity
director for the Democratic National
Committee, and by indirection, de-
nounced John j. RaSkob, chairman Of

Asserting that the chief handicap
that prohibition has today Is the metro

that these tactics, because Of the laws

NEW YORK, October 18.-Jack
Legs) Diamond, with four Of his COM
petitors' bullets still in his body, will
spend the rest of his convaleScent
period in a city hospital on Welfare
Island, next door to a prison and IN
the shadow of the Queensborough
Bridge.
They took him there today on de-
ference to the wishes of the Poly
clinic Hospital authorities, who were
embarrassed by the notoriety attendant
upon the gangster's presence.
Condition Improved.
His physical condition was such as
to permit his removal, the doctors said,
and Diamond himself consented to the
transfer before they lifted him to (
stretcher surrounded by policemen and
loaded him into an ambulance which
was preceded and followed by detec-
tives in automobiles.
Police had made little progress in
their search for the gunner who shot
the racketeer last Sunday in the Month

to break three ribs and collarbone
before they left him for dead.
Motive Remains Mystery.
Commissioner Mulrooney still pro-
fessed to be uncertain of the motive
for the shooting and District Attorney

underworld rivalry was responsible for
the attack, said he had made no
progress in learning the names of Dia-

HELEN HAYES
In NEW PLAY
DEC. 8

Helen Hayes, charming star OF
"Petticoat Influence" the new
comedy which Gilbert Miller will
present for one week, beginning
December 9th at the Shubert-
Belasco Theater, tells an amusing
anecdote about the shortest part
she ever played. Her appren-
ticeship in the theater was served
with a Washington stock company
and she was once assigned the
role of Polish servant girl whose
only speech was Good morning"
in Polish. Never having studied
that language, Miss Hayes had not
the slightest idea how to pro-
nounce the words. But with the
true artists passion for detail, she
hunted through Washington until
she found a little Polish dress
maker who could give her the cor
rect pronunciation. Miss Hayes
went home and practiced as hard
on her one line of Polish as If it
had been the leading role in the
play.
When she went on the stage at
the opening performance, how
ever, she got stage fright, couldn't
remember the Polish and had to
say Good morning" in plain
English.
This tickled the other actors
immensely since they remembered
how hard she toiled over her tiny
part and it was almost a minute
before they could recover them
selves, choke back their laughter
and go on with the play.
