CODE
BILLS DELAYED
No Action on WickerSham
Proposals Soon.

By Scripps-H Hotcdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The
recommendations of the Wicker
sham law enforcement commission
to amend the judicial code to pro-
vide more stringent enforcement OF
the prohibition 'law have been
caught in the legislative jam in the
senate and no action is likely until
next December, senators said today.
In addition, the Sheppard bill to
make the buyer equally guilty with
the seller of bootleg liquors will be
shelved.
The four Wickersham commits
sion bills, which were passed by the
house, have been referred to sub
committee of the judiciary commit
tee consisting of Senators Gillett of
Massachusetts, Hastings of Delaware
and Dill of Washington. The sub
committee, however, has held no
sessions nor have any hearings
been slated.
A hearing was had on the Shep-
pard bill by the subcommittee which
consisted of Senators Steiwer OF
Oregon, Waterman of Colorado and
Ashurt of Arizona, at which Shep-
pard was the only witness. The
Texan was hopeful that the COM
mittee would act favorably upon
his measure, but no further action
has been taken and it appears
likely that the plan will be dropped
for the present.

who dared criticise the treaty.
"As matter Of fact every one of
them, every officer, has been given
the utmost freedom to say what he
pleased, or to write and publish

of their being bludgeoned into
silence" Reed said.
