Graham's Decision Prevents
Cross-Examination of Dry
Representatives.
REBUTTAL TESTIMONY
OF VETS IN TWO WEEKS
Anti-saloon League Head Denied
Opportunity to Testify, but
Presents Statement.
Rn the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
The extended hearings by the House
judiciary committee on measures propos-
ing repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment were terminated UNEXPECTEDLY to-
day as representatives of organizations
supporting prohibition were about to
take the stand and present closing
arguments in behalf Of the dry statute.
Many witnesses, including college pro-
fesors, athletic coaches, clubwomen, So
cial workers, manufacturers and indus
trials, have been heard by the commit
tee in behalf Of prohibition and today,
the last session allotted to the drys, had
been set aside for the workers of dry
organizations to round out the picture.
The -prohibitionists had given
their testimony designed to show that
prohibition had failed before the drys
began telling their side of the story.
The two sides have required more than
a month to submit their respective
testimony.
Two weeks from today the anti-pro-
hibitionists will be given an opportunity
to submit rebuttal testimony. After
that the hearings will be over and the
committee at a later date will take up
consideration behind closed doors OF

Graham Ends Hearings.
Chairman Graham announced his de-
cision to close today's session 1mme-
diately after j. Weston Allen of Boston,
a former attorney general of Massa-.
chusetts, had testified on the legal
aspects of solution of this vexing
problem" F.. Scott Mcbride, SUPER

was waiting to appear next. Mcbride
and a number of other dry leaders
were permitted to submit statements
which were incorporated in the COM
mittee'S record.
Graham said the chief reason for
ending the dry testimony was because
Of the important tariff legislation watt
ing consideration on the House floor.
If the representatives Of dry organi-
cations were croSs-examined, he assert
ed, the committee members would not
be able to be present for the House
tariff debate.
Mcbride In his statement said that
education, coupled with observance and
enforcement of prohibition, was the
''only answer to the alcoholic liquor
question"
Holds Law Can Be Enforced.
prohibition can be enforced and Is
being better enforced as time goes on, ("
he declared, adding that to surrender
to the demands of wet forces for re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment
would display a "cowardly sentiment. "
The anti-prohibitionist he said, had
upon them the burden Of proof to show
three things:
"First, that the eighteenth amend
ment fails to contribute most effective
ly toward a solution of the alcoholic
liquor problem.
Second, that the people are clamor-
ing to reverse their decision as to pro-
hibition and are now asking for repeal.
Third, that they are ready to pro-
pose a constructive program that will
better solve this problem and upon
which they can unite"
Concerning the first point, he said
the liquor problem had existed for years
