Texan Would Make Posses
sion in Home Penal oftense;
Legion Action Under Fire
BY ROBERT s. ALLEN

Smarting under the two
smashing setbacks rec emily
sustained by them in the over
whelming wet declarations Of
the American Legion and the
American Federation Of Labor,
national dry leaders today set a
counter attack. in motion.
Senator Sheppard 3D. Of
Texas, author of the Eighteenth
Amendment, announced he would
offer q bill at the December Con-
gresS striking at the possession
Of liquor in the home. He had
previously made known he would
introduce legislation to ban the
use of grape concentrates for
beverage purposes.
Wealthy VETS Hit
Edwin C. Dinwiddie, executive
secretary of the new national
prohibition board of strategy, in
a letter to Henry L. Stevens, ma
tional commander of the Amer
lean Legion, questioned the i'm
portance of the wet vote of the
legion at it's recent Detroit con-
vention by charging it had been
brought about by an organized
and heavily financed conspiracy
of wealthy vets"
Senator Moses (R0, OF New
Hampshire, at the same time de-
livered a flank attack on the
Legion demand for prohibition
referendum by asserting the coun-
try would vote dry because vets
had nothing to offer as an "eftec-
tive alternative.
Sheppard's PrOspOsal
Under Sheppard's proposal. pos
session of liquor in the home would
become a ,enal offense, punish
able by fine and Jail sentence. He
would accomplish this by elimin.
ating the clause in the Volstead
act which permits possession OF
lawfully acquired liquor"
This provision, Sheppard con-
tends, was written into the act to
protect those who possessed or
laid in stocks before the dry law
became effective. 1t was not de-
signed, he holds, to legalize sup
plies obtained since then.

Churchman Expected to Ques-

Fireworks Believed Certain

Bishop James Cannon, jr.,

L. Burroughs for alleged viola

tices act, may be tried early in

IN debate over his anti-Smith cam
paign of 1928, it appeared today.
With arraignment Of the pair
expected within 10 days, Assistant
District Attorney John J. Wilson,
in charge of the Grand Jury in
curry, indicated they probably
would be tried shortly after
Christmas.
Fireworks Expected
Congressional fireworks may
explode both in Senate and House
on the eve of the trial. The Nye
committee will open a fight IN
the Senate when it reports that
Miss Burroughs and the Rev. j.
Sidney Peters, also a Cannon
aide, refused to testify before the
committee.
William Tyler Page, sclerk Of
the House, introduced a new note
when he said today he would not
honor a subpoena to produce rec.
ordS for the trial unless ordered
to do so by the House.
Although he presented the cam
paign expense reports OF the anti
Smith Democrats, headed by
Bishop Cannon, to the Grand
Jury, Page said he would not go
so far in the trial.
Bishop Cannon, aSSailing the
special Senate committee which
unearthed the failure of his cam
paign organization to file COM
plete reports Of contributions with
the clerk of the House, prepared
for the fight of his life.
To Ask Dismissal
He will come to washington
soon to confer with his chle1
counsel, Robert H. MCNEIL. The
first move is expected to be a
motion to quash the indictment
or a demurrer.
Mr.. McNeill prepared to assam
constitutionality Of the corrupt
practices act on the ground that
Congress cannot 1egislate on the
election of presidential and vice
presidential electors. These, he
claims, are State officers.
The constitutional question,
which has never been raised IN q
criminal trial under the corrupt
practices act, is expected ulti-
mately to reach the Supreme
Court. .,.

headed by Senator Nye (R0 OF
North Dakota, maintained during

During the committees inquiry,
Miss Burroughs, treasurer of the
anti.Smith Democrats, and the
Rev. J. Sidney Peters, secretary,
both defied the authority Of the

for contempt by the Senate.

GEORGE WASHINGTON FIRED
THE FIRST AMERICAN GUN
At YORKTOWN

About five o'clock on the after.
noon of October 9, 1881, George
Washington stood in the Amer.
ican works before Yorktown. In
his hand was a smouldering fusee
which he was to fire the first
American gun in the lombard
ment of the town where Lord
Corn wallis bad taken post. Far
to the left he could hear the
Frenchbatteryroaring it's mepace
to the Briton. The guns of the
regiment Touraine had been in
action for two hours, pouring
shot and she'll on the English
ships in the river.
Finally the big gun was load
ed and primed. aud as the gun
ner stepped back. Washington
put the fusee to the touch-hole.
There was q deafening roar, a
violent concussion, and the can
non belched black smoke and
deadly missile. A terrific can.
nonade ensued, and the surrend
er of Yorktown was but q few
days away.
In the standard work on the
Yorktown campaign, quoted by
the United States George Wash
ington Bicentenial Commission,
Henry p. Johnston writes of the
first shot:
The Journal of more than one
American officer mentions the
fact that the first shot from the
American battery was fred by
Washington himself. Colonel
Cortlandt remembered that be
distinctly heard it crash into
some houses in Yorktown. If
Captain Samuel Graham, of the
Seventy sixth Regiment, whose
station was directly in the line
of fire, was not mistaken as to
the particular discarge be refers
to ia his Memoirs, this first shot
was singlarly fatal. A party of
officers from the Seventy-sixt
were at dinner in neighboring
building. The British Commis
sary-general Perkins was with,
them. O1e of the officers was
an old Scotch lieutenant, who,
when the allies firstinvested the
place, was heard to soliloquize
as be buckeled on his sword:
Come on. Master Washington,
I'm unco glad to see you. I've
been offered money for my com
mission. but could na think of
gangin' home without a sight of
you. Come on.' Poor fellow /!
Washington fell on him in a way
that was quite unexpected, for
that first ball struck and wound
ed him terribly. It also wound.
ed the quarter-master and adju.
tant of the Seventy-sixth. and
killed the commissary-general."
The siege of Yorktown, which
began in all seriousness with
this shot. eliminated one of the
most brilliant military maneuv
res in history.

 1t is estimated that about 5000 new voters will be placed on the list of electors this year.

NATIONAL TOUR OF GERMAN BOAT
 MUCH DELAYED
The Do-X Expected to At- tend Air Races Opening in Cleveland To-day, But Cannot

New York, Aug. 29.-(UP).- Tentative plans for a national tour by the Do-x were held in abey- ance to-day pending a complete check of the multi-motored power plant which brought the giant Ger man air liner 12.000 miles from Germany to the United States via Couth America and Africa.
 Commander Fritz W. Hammer and Lieutenant c. H. (Dutch) Schildhauer, American guest pilot, had hoped to start the flight im- mediately with trip to Cleveland to attend the national air races, opening to-day. But Curtiss- Wright engineers said overhauling would consume several days. The itinerary thus will depend on the length of time it takes to tune-up the twelve powerful motors.
