HOUSTON, Tex, November 17.--MrS
Ella Z. Boole. national president of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
told the annual convention today that
her organization had run to earth" and
branded as completely false" rumors
that 'the brewers of the country are
getting their plans ready to resume
brewing of intoxicating beer in an
ticipation of modification of the eight
zenith amendment.
Prediction the biggest prohibition fight
the convention last night third party
may arise to eSpouse the dry cause.
In an address Of defiance to the vets
called "a conquering army" Mrs Col
vim said:
There will be a conflict two years
from now such as we have never
known. If both great parties should
stand wet, the great leaders within
these parties are saying there viii be
a new alignment made up Of Democrats
OF the South and dry Republicans of
the North
Predicts Sweeping Dry Victory.
Such a combination, Mrs. Colvin
forecast, would sweep the country"
I'D rather have the saloon back, "
Mrs. Colvin declared emphatically,
than have my State of New York en-
gage in the liquor business-the pro-
gram its Governor proposes"
If everybody turned wet" the speak
er said, at would take four years to
send enough wet Congressman to WASH
ington to enable passing the liquor
question to the State Legislatures.
THE w. C. T. U. Is the great force
which Is holding back the liquor traffic
and is the organization that is going to
be conquering army"
The convention turned today to work
more or less routine, but one feature
was the preparation by President
Boole of a telegram to George Wick
ersham of President Hoover's Law En-
forcement Commission saying the I'M
ion felt God had guided the commits
sion" in discarding repeal as "a solu-
ton of the prohibition problem" and
that the organizations prayers would
continue to follow" the Wickersham
body.
EvangeIistic Head Speaks.
DIR. Mary Harris Armor, head of
evangelistic work for the organization,
spoke yesterday.
"If the VETS" DR.. Armor said, 'think
they can elect a wet President they had
better think again, We beat one wet
candidate where Ssey has to pick up
Tic plcCCS. NCAI tAiAAC, Oc AlC 1A1C OSAAO
crat or Republican. predict they will
have to get plotting paper to pick
him up"
While the women cheered, she went
on to assert that "the right" a large
section of the press land Herbert Hoo
YER" also were on "our side"
DR.. Armor charged "a few multi
millionaires" were behind a campaign
for beer with the hope that beer taS
would save them taxes, and said she
wished they could know her contempt
for them.
ct is a challenge to every patriot,
every Christian, every decent man and
woman in the country. 1t isn't the
eighteenth amendment that Is on trial
before the world 50 much as 1t is the
citizenship Of the United States Of
America" she asserted.

Regardless of whether the Republic-
ans or Democrats gain initial control
Of the next House of Representatives,
the speakership will be in constant
peril
Although 1t has never been done. the
Speaker may be removed at any time
by majority of the members. and q
successor elected. In view of the close
balance between the parties in the
House at the Seventy second Congress-
now standing at 2l8 Republicans and
ZIG Democrats, with l Farmer-Labor-
leaders on both sides are giving close
study to the possibilities.
Insurgents Hold Power.
Insurgent groups will be potential de-
termintng factors in the seating or I'M
seating of the Speaker as long as the
membership remains so closely divided.
Both Speaker Longworth and his
Democratic rival-Representative Gar
ner OF Texas-might occupy the post OF
Speaker at different times. Then there
Is a possibility that neither will serve,
but that some other member may be

resort to the tactics used by their re-
spective parties in 1910, when an
1nsurgent group led by Norris of

termed Cannon czarism." 1t was then
the late Uncle Joe Cannon, serving as
Speaker for the fourth term, gave the

Gratis and insurgents from Northwestern

Cannon Refused to Resign.
On Norris resolution to have the
Speaker removed from the powerful

tanned a motion by Dalzell of PennSyl-

Norris resolution was not privileged
Norris appealed the chairs decision TO
the House, was sustained, and his reso-
luton was adopted 191 to 156, voting
present.
Speaker Cannon told the HOUSE he
could either resign, necessitating a COM
plete reorganization of the House and
confeSsing failure. which he would moi
do, or entertain q motion to have the
speakership vacated.

NEW YORK, November 17.-Aimee
Semple Mcpherson. evangelist, returned
yesterday on the liner Toloa from a
cruise In the Caribbean still not CON-
pletely recovered from her recent
nervous breakdown.
AS the ship was tying up to the
pier she gave in her first interview
since her breakdown. She charged that
some reporter" had pictured her party
as drinking liquor IN Canal Zone caba-
retS. This, she said, was false as were
rumors Of difficulties with immigration
authorities at the Canal and Havana.
Has Lost 80 Pounds.
Her face than, eyes dark -circled, she
clasped and unclasped her hands as she
talked and when she reached out to
take a newspaper clipping her hand
shook In moving about the deck which
was slippery from the fog, she was sup
ported by the purser of the Toloa and
her nurse. She said she had lost 80
pounds during her illness.
Her remarks supplemented prepared
statement In which she charged that
newspaper men at Cristobal, to. whom
she had refused an interview because OF
her health, had threatened to write q
racy story accusing me Of making
whoopee." -
Made Tour Of Canal.
II presume they made good their
promise" she said, adding that she had
heard of one story which "insinuate0
everything except that ! smoked q
pipe"
The statement continued:
at Is true that, with other passen-
gers we broke the long sea journey by
going ashore and making tour of the
canal and the city (Cristobal) Being q
sailor town, the long streets of saloons
and places and types of entertainment
afforded them was interesting to me as
compared with the strikingly small
number Of churches or revival halls.
Drank Lemonade.
with other passengers of the ship,
we entered as spectators several of these
places, remaining only a few minutes
in each. drank water or lem
onade. To state otherwise is silly, and
q mere attempt to slap back at the
definite stand ! have always taken for
temperance"
Mrs. Margaret Smith and her young
son "of New Hampshire" and a secre-
tary accompanied Mrs. Mcpherson on
the cruise. She was met at the pier
by r. G. Winters, her business mana
ger, who said he had planned to leave
for the Pacific Coast with the party
this afternoon, but because of the
evangelist's condition, had decided to
rest two or three days in New York.

And 1t has come to pass that the Mexican govern
ment has broken relations with the Soviet Russian
government and the Russian ambassador and his
retinue of advisors and clerks and servants have
been booted out Of the Mexican republic.
Why the break?
Provisional Pres. Gil and his advisors became con-
WINGED that communists. led by Soviet Russian agi-
tators, are responsible for the violent demonstra-
tons against Mexico In the capitals Of European ma
tons, South American countries and the United
States.
There is a socialist party In Mexico. 1t a~ffiliates
with the American Federation Of L~abor-that Is, 1t
has enjoyed fraternal relations with the American
Federation Of Labor in the past. Luis Morones was
its president and dictator. Where Is Morones? What
has happened to his erstwhile powerful organiza-
ton Of Mexican workers?
AS for Soviet Russia, Just about the time the Brit
ish government resumed relations with the Slavs,
the Mexican government advised the Russian am
bassador and his staff to make haste out Of Mexico.
and this too without argument or protest against
instantaneous departure.
Sen. w. A.. Borah. Of Idaho, is the champion Of
Soviet Russia. Now will the Idaho eagle continue
his efforts for recognition Of the Slav government or
will he devote all his efforts and all his ability 70
the making OF a tariff system which will be &C
ceptable to the producers of the South and the West?
