40 HOUSE DRYs MAY BOLT.
Editor Declares Prohibition Forces Need
Recognizing.
Copyrisht. 1902


Recognizing.
BY the Associated Press.
Again from within dry ranks has
come call for reorganization of forces
supporting prohibition, coupled with
gloomy forecasts for the cause as the
alternative.
Stanlsy High, editor of the Christian
Herald, was the critic He issued a
statement yesterday asserting an
authoritative canvass showed at least
40 members of the House who con-
fessed themselves prepared to desert"
the drys at the first strategic
opportunity.
This assertion came on top of rumbles
that trouble is ahead in the House for
the 100000 additional funds asked
by the Justice Department for next
years prohibition enforcement.
Organizations Inadequate.
High, however, went further than the
possible OBJECTIONS in the House in his
pessimistic utteranca.
The Nations dry organizations are
not adequate, as they stand today" he
said, Ito save prohibition"
why not call layman's conference
on prohibition?" he asked. MANY of
them are silent and some of th:m are
O1SBlu IlLleu. NCb DeCduSe LIley are
waVering about the prohibition cause,
but rather, because they are wayering
about the prohibition leadership"
He said that at recent Washington dry
meetings the laymen were kept de
cidedly on the outside" with the pro
fessional" dry leaders and ministers
dominating proceedings. The same
sentiments had been voiced in some
quarters before the series of prohibition
conferences here, but a reorganization
of the high command effected then
showed mostly the same names that
have been to the fore in years past.
Would Add 500 Agents.
The new appropriation for prohibition
would make possible adding the 500 dry
agents who Director Woodcock says are
needed for adequate enforcement. 1t is
understood the provision has been
travelling a rocky path in committee
sessions. 1t has not yet been approved
by the full Appropriation Committee,
which must report it to the House, and
apparently it barely passed a subcom-
mittee, whose wet members intend to
carry opposition to the floor.

 Washington, Jan. LP, - The tongues of red flame that leapcd through the roof of the southwest wing Of the capitol last night and licked at the side oI the huge white dome had left today only small blackened spot on the side of the building.
 The Nividness of the flare; the shricking sirens of fire apparatus; first thoughts that century old rec ords, possibly the nearly nation-old structure itself might be endan- gered, had faded this morning and fast were becoming q part Of the bulging history ot Capitol Hill.
 Cause Chief Concern
 Officials were more concerned over the cause of the blaze than the damage wrought. They said the loss would amount to about %.0UO; that the fire in no way would inter fere with the CoNvening of congress Monday from the holiday recess; and that such documents and papers as were Charred or water soaked were not part Of the permanent files.
 The blaze. far more spectacular than that which destroyed part of the executive office of the White House Christmas eve, originated in a room occupied by Carl Moberly. an artist who had decorated many of the long corridors in both the senate and house wings.
