Anticipated Campaign for
Larger Amount Fails
to Materialize.
S34,0 100000 IS TOTAL
Blaine Offers Resolution
Calling for Repeal of
18th Amendment.
BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Passage
of the treasury department appro~
priation bill carrying approximate
ly $34,OO0,000 for prohibition en-
forcement was indicated today when
an anticipated campaign by dry
forces to increase the fund failed to
materialize.
Senator Harris Oem., Ga0, who
led a successful fight in the last con-
greSs for a larger enforcement ap-
preparation than the Coolidge adj
ministration wanted, announced
several weeks ago he would intro
duce an amendment to the now
pending appropriation bill for an
other such increase.
The sum recommended by the
Hoover administration and since
approved by the house appropira-
tons committee, he commended, is
not sufficient to enforce the dry law
during the 1881 fiscal year.
Prohibition Commissioner Doran

bureau $15,000000 is all that can be
spent wisely under present condi-
tons.
Representative La Guardia (Rep.,
N. W will raise point of order
against all prohibition items in the
bill when they are reached, but has
no chance of carrying his points in
an overwhelmingly dry house. He
will contend the eighteenth amend
ment never was ratified properly by
the states and therefore is void.
The tenth anniversary of prohi-
bition duly was commemorated
Thursday by oratory, pro and con,
in both houses. Senator Blaine
(Rep., Wis., introduced a resolution
to repeal the eighteenth amend
ment, declaring the time has come
to recognize the failure of prohi-
bition.
Senator Sheppard Dem, Tex) /,
co-author of the Volstead law, as
sured the vets prohibition is here

were expounded in several speeches
before the house.

HAMMOND, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE
East Chicago liquor conspiracy case,
described in the closing plea by
government counsel as "a monster
that destroyed good government, "
was placed in the hands of a jury
in federal court here shortly after
IL this morning.
Earl j. Davis, special assistant
prosecutor, completed his argument
at 1890 and Judge Thomas w.

structions to the jury. Nineteen
persons, including Mayor Raleigh P,
Hale and Police Chief James w.

Davis, in the only argument to the
jury today, called Mayor Hale Bit

spiracy.
Hale never made a statement in

clared at one point, aiding that "the

A field representative Of the
American Red Gross and a national
guard officer flew over flooded areas
today to obtain an adequate picture
of the situation.
Used by Red Cross
Information gathered from the
flight will be used by the Red Cross
to determine relief measures nee

The Red Cross official, A. 3

that relief would be necessary, but
that Investigations had not en-
abled him to decide upon the ex-

With the river dropping today
and all danger apparently passed
it was believed unlikely that the
government aid would be needed.
Disease Preceded
The situation in VincenneS today
was not serious. Although disease
always presents serious threat
during food disasters, smallpox re-
ported at Vincennes was apparent
before the flood swept down upon
the city, 1t was said.
There still was possibility today
that water seeping from the river
Might contaminate private water
sources, but danger from the mu-
nicipal water system was believed
past with the fall Of the water level.
The Red Cross there reported that
the suffering among homeless refu-
gees was not widespread, although
many persons have been given food
and clothing by the relief workers.
The HaZelton fill, south Of Vim
cennes, on U. S. IL, was believed safe
today by highway officials.
Water still covered the fill, but
the road was open to traffic through

BRITISH SECRET

MaiIbags Loot in. Daylight

BY United Press
LONDON, Jan. 17.-Mailbags
containing secret documents of the
British air ministry were stolen by
a sensational method today from a
messenger, who just had left the
ministry Offices in KingSway.
Two mailbags, containing not only
important air ministry papers, but a
sum of money, were being taken
from the offices by an employee.
AS he wheeled his cart away from
the entrance, a dark blue auto
mobile suddenly swerved around
nearby billboards and ran up to the
sidewalk. A young man leaped
from the car, seized the two bags,
and leaped back into the auto
mobile.
Before the dazed employe could
get assistance, the car was out of
sight.
Numerous mail robberies have
been reported in London recently.

Excitement was great in
Vincennes for a time this
morning when a c. & E. 1.
work train was reported
bloodhound at Smiths switch,
five miles north Of the city.
Water was rushing around
the train, and the roadbed
was out of sight.
Railroad officials quoted the ex-
element, however, with statement
that the train was not marooned,
and that water on the roadbed was
shallow. Telephone poles beside the
road in some cases we're submerged
entirely.
All danger of levee breaks at Vim
cennes was believed past, with the
river virtually stationary at 25.3
feet the highest in its history. No
new areas had been inundated dur
ing the day, so far as known, but
it may be days before those driven
from their homes can return.
Every levee break came after
ample warning Of its approach,
hence loss was expected to be sur
prisingly low, considering the extent
of the flood.
The Vincennes water supply was
out of danger of contamination, and
there was no likelihood that the ex-
tensive preparations for housing
victims, would be called into use.
So thorough has been the prepa-
ration for each new development that
authorities said little suffering was
likely because of the zero weather
anticipated tonight.
Traffic was allowed on U. S. Al,
south of Vincennes, where water, in
places a foot deep, still covered a
tWo-mile stretch. The road was in
undated when the PlaSs levee, north
of Decker, collapsed on Wednesday
night.
Hazelton, near White river, was
isolated. Water in the streets was
four to six inches higher than in
1918. Much suffering was reported
in the vicinity.
Near Petersburg Thursday three
men narrowly escaped drowning
when their light skiff was over
turned by a log while they rowed
toward a floating house in which
they believed family to be i'm
prisoned.
The trio, Harry Gillian, Jesse
Traylor and Harry Traylor, swan
through the swift current to back
water, graEped logs and pulled
themselves to trees, in which they
were marooned for three hours.
