 He pointed out that much of the work about the school is done by the boys themselves. while at Long Lane farm, much additional help is required.
 The salary item as listed in the report, however, is slight and fails to cover the comparative difference between the two institutions.

bridge, Mass, the Taft family set | tied at Townshend, Vermont. For the greater part of a century they shared 1 pioneer life with Green Mountain folks and contributed their efforts toward developing surrounding set dement's into an organized state. They saw independence, peace and self government evolve from chaos of the Revolutionary War period. 1 The bodies of Aaron Taft and his wife, Rhoda Rawson Taft, daughter of the secretary of the Massachusetts Bay colony, still rest in cemetery on Taft Hill in Townsend. Aarons oldest son. Peter, was a trial justice, surveyor, town officer, teacher, road commissioner, probate judge, a founder of Leland and Gray Seminary and served in five legisla- lures.
 Peters only son was Alphonso, ia thcr of William Howard Taft. AL phonso was the first Taft descendant born at Townshcnd. His life was colorful.
 AlphOnSO Goes west
 He studied law and migrated west. He joined the whig political party but when d call came to form a free soil group 10 succeed the Whigs he ar filiated with the movement and sup ported formation of the present re- publican party.
 His rise in republican ranks was swift, terminating in holding two cabinet chairs during Grants admin istration and later serving as minis ter to Russia. Cincnnati's poor peo- pie sought his legal advice. which he gave freely and cheerfully. After breakfasts Alphonso would find lines of poor folk waiting for him in the hallway of his home. Many asked for financial aid and readily obtained it, It was said the reason he never ac- Quircd much wealth was because he gave too much away.
 One of Alphonso's sons was Charles P. Taft, who died two months ago. The latter was publisher of the Cincinnati Times Star and was one of the worlds greatest philan- thropists. His charitable donations passed S20,o00,o0o.
 Alphonso Taft married twice. 1t was during his second marriage to Louise Torrey, of Boston. that Will liam Howard Taft was born.
 Williams brothers also attained distinction. Horace, a school master, is head of the Taft School for Boys at Watertown, Conn. Henry is prominent New York attorney Fan nv Louise, q sister, married and mov- ed to Los Angeles.
 Taft Has Two Sons
 The former chief justice has two sons, Robert A., and Charles r. Both are Cincinnati attorneys. His daugh- ter, Mrs. Phillip Manning, married . Pennsylvania teacher.
 Nothing visible remains of the Taft ancestral home in the Vermont hills, but the Taft mansion here is one Of the show places in Cincinnati. It houses an art collection valued at $1S,000,O00.

 REVIEW IN DRY LAW
Continued From First Pagc)

Philadelphia several illegal ship mcnts of liquor.
 The federal district court at Philadelphia declared the mere pur- chase of liquor was not an offense under the prohibition law and that where there was nothing but simple sale the purchaser vas not guilty of conspiracy with the seller.
 It also said that "where transpor- tatlon was required by the agree ment,' the purchaser and tho sell Ter could not be indicted for con- spiracy even though what is con- templated is simply the delivery of the thing sold"
 The circuit court of appeals held that "a sale of liquor involving such transportation as is necessary to ef- feet the delivery to the purchaser. does not subject the purchaser and seller to an indictment for con- splracy to transport" and said that under the prohibition law the pur- chase of liquor was not an offense,
 These decisions, the government insisted, narrowed the scope of the conspiracy statute to such an extent as to make it inapplicable to a large number of cases in which conspiracy to violate other laws than the pro- hlbltlon act were charged.

Few More Prominent Families

th .'lOlC l dlllhltS
 Cincinnati. Feb. LP)-Fcw fam lilies in the United States have held as prominent a place in the nation s
 news as that of William Howard Taft, his immediate relatives and his ancestors as far back as the colonial period. The history of the Taft fam fly shows that it has occupied page one prominence ever since publica- ton of the first colonial weekly newspapers.
 Robert Taft was the first member of the family in the new country. He immigrated in 1878, came ashore at the Massachusetts Bay colony and settled in Mendon, Worcester Coun- ty.
 At the initial town meeting Robert Taft was chosen a selectman-an i'm portant office in pioneer days. His descendants likewise gained colonial and later national prominence. Aaron Taft became one of the wealthy setters of Vermont. Peter Rawson Taft, the latter's son, was elected county surveyor, a much sought colonial position, and later was elected to the Vermont legisla- ture. Alphonso Taft, Peters only son, became tired of farm life, stu died law and moved to the new west" at Cincinnati, where ke at tained political recognition and served as secretary of war and at torncy general in President Grants cabinet.
 Held Both High Offices William Howard Taft, one of AL phonsos sons, was the only person who ever held the two highest offices in the nation-president and chief justice. Robert A. Taft, son of the former chief justice, several years ago was speaker of the Ohio house of representa- lives and still is a factor in Ohio republican politics.

Washington. Mar. 3 R-Cbair- man Graham of the house judiciary committee, said today it had been definitely decided to end tomorrow, wet presentation of their case against prohibition. Those opposing the 18th amendment were to have closed their testimony last week. but an extension of time was allowed because of the number desiring 10 be heard.
 The drys have not made public their list of witnesses, saying they preferred 10 announce them after the "Wets had had their fling"
 Testimony by wet witnesses be- fore the committee was assailcd to- day in a statement of the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 The statement asserted that the drys might show better judgment if, instead of answering the wet charges. they request the anti-pro- hibiionists 'to make use of the time granted to the supporters of the law"
 "The statements made by the op- ponents of prohibition" it said, have in many cases been so ill., considered, so reckless, so sensa = tional, that they are calculated to cause a. distinct reaction against the wet movement"
 Statements made by Walter Iig- gctt, magazine writer. on the number of 'speakeasies" in Washington was declared to be a typical example of "cXtravagance."
 After assailing testimony by other witnesses, the Methodist board urged the business interests of this coun- try to step to the front and have their say. The anti-prohibition movement is not only a war against Ecthlehom it is war against pros pcrjty."

Brokers' Comment

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 24.-Today's
brokerage house opinion on the stock
market is mixed, although cautious
trading policies are generally advised.
Comments follow:
Smith, Graham & Rockwell-The
market Is ct point where strength in,
lasts. The extent Of the recovery, how
ever. Is such that the list Is likely to
be sensitive and therefore requires
watching, as O reaction developing
from this level, once started, could
amount to more than few points.
81 Shields & Co.-The improved senti-
n1ent in speculative circles is due large
ly to the short covering rally witnessed
in the stock market that has been in
f1uenced mainly by the marking up of
copper prices and other measures to
stabilize commodities. 1t has happened
that such activity has gradually effected
a change in commodity markets in the
past, but similar efforts to do so over
the past. year have not warranted much
hope as to the lasting success OF the
present attempt.
Otis g. Co.-The question of whether
new lows will be reached next year will
be answered by developments in gen.
eral business. Unless there is rather
marked Improvement early in the first
quarter, we believe the conservative
course is to look for the market to
have another sinking spell. In view
of the fact that there is little as
surance of such improvement early in
the year, we guessed that new lows
would be seen some time during the
first quarter. We see no reason as
yet to scrap this hypothesis. There
fore we would continue to regard the
market at present as primarily offer
ing short-term trading possibilities.

PROGRAMS AT THE

This evening will be the last opportunity to see The Single Standard" This feature proved to be exceptionally well acted, and a true to life tale. The plot could have happened ana no doubt has happened many times, but what makes the play distinctive is the clever representation of the ideas and the setting, together with ex- tra fine acting by the two great Swedish stars c eta Garbo and Nils Asther. These clever actors apr pear to better adyantage than they have before, as the role oa each seems to fit perfectly. Everyone who saw the feature Wednesday and Friday confirm the critics rat- ing of Al entertainment.
 Sundays program offers 2 change by showing the famous dog Flash in a thrilling drama of gang police strife The play is rated as first class and is said to show this mar vicious dog better than his other
 pictures. An additional attraction is the two-reel comedy starring Stan Laurel and his partner Oliver Hardy.
