ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., September
ls.--Gov. Albert C. Richie of Maryland,
prominently mentioned as a Democratic
presidential possibility, tonight urged
the Nation to face the fact that pro-
hihition Is q failure and cannot sue
coed.
4 Addressing the American Bar Assoc
citation at its annual dinner, he related
his definite opinions on important eco
rornic and political, national and inter-
national questions, emphasizing that
1.-THE people want the truth" on all
questions, and condemning the policy
of public men to "sidestep" and pussy
foot"
He upheld the effort Of business to
lessen Government intervention and
regulation, but assailed the tendency
of the people to look largely to the
business man and the flnancier, as
specialists, for leadership" recalling
that this depression--"the fifteenth
major one in the last century, we are
told on high authority-caught him
(the business mani unprepared."
Resolution Hits Third Degree.
He urged realization of the economic
interdependence Of the nations OF the
Western World, despite a Europe al
most in economic reverse" partly be-
cause Of an American tariff so high
that It shuts the door on some OF our
best national customers and invites
their retaliationS and reprisals."
Meanwhile the bar association
adopted a resolution, largely along the
lines of the Wickersham report on
crime, condemning unlawful enforce
ment and third degree methods, but
adding a recommendation that prosecu-
tors be allowed to comment on the re-
fusal Of a defendant to testify in his
own defense, which was directed par
ticularly at gangsterdom.
On prohibition, Gov. Richie said:
'If some Of us In the beginning be-
lieved in the eighteenth amendment as
a means for temperance-which I did
not happen to do-why, after 10 years
delude ourselves any longer into think
ing that prohibition can ever pronlblt
or that it will ever promote temperance
in any way? Why not face the facts
that the last state is worse than the
first?
1.-THE Wickersham Commission did
what I regard as stupendous piece OF
work thoroughly well done, and yet
they submitted unanimous decision to

~ the Associated Press.
With its troops victorious over
Chinese soldiers throughout
Southern Manchuria after one day
of fighting, the Japanese govern
ment has expressed a desire that
the conflict should not spread to
other areas.
The clashes between japanese
and Chinese troops, which began
at Peitaying, suburb of Mukden,
near midnight Friday, spread rap
idly along the 500 miles Of the
Japanese-owned South Manchu-
rian Railway. Everywhere the
Japanese were successful after
slight resistance.

forces sought to destroy a bridge

protest to Toxic, demanding Japanese

ticns.
Says Bridge Pretext.
A high Chinese ofncial asserted the
japanese had seized upon the attack by
Chinese soldiers against japanese guard
ing the railway bridge at Peitaying as
q pretext for hosilities. He asserted
the military element In Japan for
months has been planning aggressive
action in Manchuria."
OF the many causes Of friction be-

The Important question now before

proposal for a holiday in naval con-
strIction until the Disarmament Con-
ference, which is scheduled to convene
in February, 1882, is concluded. The
proposal for the ad interim holiday

by Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Holland

He charged that Germany has been
