The. responsibility for the death of three persons, passengers in an automobile crushed by a gasoline railway car on private crossing near Southbury, has been placed upon the operator of the auto, Wal ter Wright of Bridgeport. In the opinion of Joseph P. Wadhams, engineer of the state public utilities commission, Wright's failure to ob- serve the approach of the train, led to the accident, causing the deaths of Josephine Mortimer, Cecelia Mortimer and George Or e n. Wright, the driver, is still in the Danbury hospital suffering from severe injuries. He was questioned during the past week by Coroner John T.

PROHIBITIONISTS WOULD
 TIDHTEN ENFORCEMENT

WASHINGTON.-The liquor ques- Cion is in the Senate today and has prospects of staying there for a long time.
 Senator Howell's bill to establish drastic enforcement in the District of Columbia stood at the top of the calendar and was designated as order of business and was given a preferred position after the Nebraska legis- iator gave vivid description of Cap ;tal drinking.
 Senator Watson, Republican lead CT, and Senators Borah and Shoot tried to prevent the argument from extending into one of national scope, holding that other legislation, espe- cially relief projects, should have the right of way.
 i-prohibitionists prepared to fight the Howell bill by offering ..n.e .Gnients, such as one to lega-ize four per cent beer.
 The Howe.l bill contained search md seizure provision, which was frowned on in the Wickersham com mission reports and by the Attorney General.
 Howell said at a recent convention the entertainment chairman ordered 5000 quarts of liquor for the dele-s gates and then gave them the names of the bootleggers in case they want ed more.

 SLAP AT DRY AMENDMENT

SAN FRANCSCO.-Rev of par ents against prohibition is predicted by Kenne Macintosh, Seattle member of the Wick arsham commits sion.
 MackiT tosh was one of the five who recommended a furthe trrial of strict enforcement.
 Because American fathers and mothers are appalled, at seeing their boys and girls return home intoxi- cated night after night, change in the law is inevitable" he said. Tt is too easy to make alcohol.
 Almost anyone can afford small still. As for taste, there are very few left who can discern it. The new generation can't tell the old brands from overnight stuff. I should SUD- rose they would be rather suspicious of the taste of the genuinc product"
 Macintosh said enforcement of the law to the degree envisioned by the framers is impossible. He criti- cised those who said President Hoo- yer interfered with the drafting of the commissions report 'sSuch ac- cusations were Inspired only by the lowest desire to discredit him and his commission on the part of the orig inators," he declared.
