ing, by vote Of 26 to "a, bill, already
approved by the House. calling for

Government
The Governor will receive the bill
later this wax and has 10 days in
which to consider his decision. He has
given no indication of what 1t win be.
If he approves it Illinois will become
the sixth State to take similar action.
Montana, Nevada, Wisconsin, New York
and Massachusetts, once had prohibition
laws, but repealed them.

Prior to passage of the O'Grady-
McDermott bill, named for its sponsors
in the House and Senate, opponents OF

the vets that prohibition has been

the rest Of the country that Illinois
demands repeal Of the amendment"
Both the House, which passed the

u. S. S. ARIZONA, March a.
President Hoover was en- route home
today with fresh conceptions and hrst-
hand information Of thu problems which
the United States faces in her Carib-
bean t:rritory.
AS he dropped back into the restful
routine aboard the Arizona he had
pleasant memories of tremendous re-
ceptions in Porto Rico and the Virgin
Islands, the latest being that Of the
Virgin Islands. which was almost
fantastic.
Probably one of the oldest parades
of all-time passed before the President,
who saw vendors, school children and
native scratch bands side by side in q
colorful picture of insular life. Back
aboard the Arizona the President let
it be known he had enjoyed IL all
greatly. but had dificulty in convincing
himself 1t had been real.
Rough Seas Encountered.

Arizona at st. Thomas he resumed his

the night the ship pitched somewhat
in the heavy ground Swells. Weather
reports then indicated that there might
be rough seas of the Carolina coast.
If the weather continues moderately
good the Arizona should arrive at Nor

The only break in the routine was
gun drill in which the big 14-inch bat

No shots we're fired because the hypo-
thetical target was the destroyer Du-

Weather Cooler Today.
The weather was much cooler as
President Hoover came on deck for a
walk before breakfast. The battIeShip
still was pitching in ground swells as
it has been since leaving the Islands
The morning weather reports show that
a storm area of the Carolina Coast was
clearing.
The gun drill was a part Of the shake
down cruise which proved that the
Arizona was up to the expectations Of
the Navy Department.

Senator and Democratic chief, who led
the opposition to the Meyer investiga-
ton.
It was not . legislative action, how
ever, that resulted in the most extensive
New York City inquiry-the inquiry
which resulted In the Tweed exposures.
Those revelations in 1871 were brought
about by an executive committee of 40,

his ring.
Three Of the previous State investi-
cations were conducted in the eighteen
ninettes. Tom Platt-"the Easy Boss"
generated them.
The Fassett investigation, named
after the Senator who headed 1t, was
the drst. That was in 1890. Four years
later "the Easy Boss" struck again, this
time with the Lexow Investigation,
which likewise took its name from e
State Senator. In 1899 another long
drawn-out inquiry-the MaSet investi-

Foreign Minister Arthur Henderson Of
Great Britain and Aristide BRAND, no
matter what attitude Germany and
Austria may take.
This information was contained In q
statement TO the press today by 3
spokesman for the French government,
following meeting between Henderson
and BRAND.
1t was announced that the two states-
men anticipated that Germany and
Austria would pursue their tariff pact
negotiations, but it was agreed that this
would not alter the fact that some one
country interested in the Austrian re-
construction protocol Of 1922 has the
right TO submit the customs agreement
70 the League Council. It was Indicated
that this country might be Czechslo-
vakla, which Is one of the guarantors
Of the Austrian loan.
VIII Charge Violation.
Under the League covenant any menu
Der state may submit any situation to
the Council on the ground that It
menaces peace, but the present inten-
ton Is 70 base a protest on an allega-
ton that the pact Is violation OF the
Austrian protocol.
After settling its policy on the
ro-German accord, the conference
mere considered difficulties encountered
IN drafting the text Of the Italo-
French British naval Arrangement.
From Berlin Il was reported today
that despite the British suggestion that
Germany and Austria take their pro-
Jected economic union before the coun-
Gil OF the League, the two governments
were represented as firm in their irlten-
ton to carry out plans to which most
OF the nations Of Europe have taken
exception.
statement said, told the British AM
bassador that the proposed customs
accord was within the bounds of the
Geneva protocol and the treaty of st.
Germaine, which pledge Austria to
maintain its independence, and that in
the opinion Of the two governments
there was no reason for the League
council to take up the matter.
May Take Three Months.
The chancellor informed the Ambas-
sador, however, that such was the de-
tail connected with the accord that it
probably would be two or three months
before 1t could be made effective. The
Council Of the League Of Nations meets
In May.
He further stated that If other gov.
ernments wished TO examine legal as
poets Of the accord, Germany and Aus
tria would not object, since there was
no reason for them to fear the outcome
Of such examination, but that the ac-
cord was purely economic and that the
German government considered 1t in
admissible to submit the agreement to
from q political viewpoint.
The statement recalled the cham
cellor's words before the German Trade
and Industry Association yesterday
when he said that both governments
were determined TO proceed on their
way with quiet frankneSs."
Sir Horace Rumbild, the Arnbassa-
DOR called at the instruction Of Foreign
Minister Henderson. A similar APP
preach was made by the British AM
oassador Minister at Vienna.

the Spring he will look over the stu
alton thoroughly before reaching any
conclusion as to what his course
viii be.
Decision in Own Hands.
As was pointed out today by some Of
the Republican leaders, the decision Is
entirely within his own hands. It is
true that the President Of the United
States, who Is candidate for re-elec-
ton, can pretty well pick the candidate
for Vice President 70 run with him, pro-
vided, Of course, that the President is
to be renominated himself. No Re-
publican leader now doubts that Presi-
dent Hoover will be the party standard
bearer next year. A few of the Pro-
greSsives expressed the opinion that the
matter has not been settled, but that Is
largely for talking purposes, and 1t is
not expected that they will be able to
prevent the renomination Of Mr. Hoover.
While President Hoover would have
the power TO select some other running
mate than Mr.. Curtis, it was predicted
today by Republican leaders that MIR.
Hoover will not undertake to side
track Vice President Curtis, who has
always been a strong and regular
party man, and who did much for the
ticket during the 1928 campaign.
Better Feeling indicated.
Reports from many parts of the
country received in recent weeks IN
Washington have indicated q better
feeling toward the Republican admin
1stration, and Republicans have been
considerably encouraged thereby.
However, the recent announcement
by the Federal Farm Board that It
would buy no wheat of the 1881 crop
and that it would seek to dispose OF
the $50 to 200 million bushels which
It now holds has thrown q scare into
the Republicans Of the Middle West.
just what is to be done with this wheat
situation and with the wheat that the
Farm Board now holds, the Republic
an leaders are unable to say They
are hoping that the wheat crop in the
United States this year win be con-
siderably less than usual. In that
event the price Of wheat might yet
60 70 mark wlaich would please the
farmers.
