AGREEMENT NEAR !
ON REPEAL DRAFT
Senate Group Supporting
Provision to Protect
Dry States.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate judiciary subcommittee
considering prohibition repeal legisla-
ton, neared an agreement today on
language for proposed substitute for
the eighteenth amendment to include
provision for protection of dry States
against liquor imports.
The committee, at its first meeting,
went right to work on the task Of
framing q repeal resolution for sub
mission to the States, but did not take
final action. s
It spent more than an hour discus
sing possible phraseology Of clause
to protect dry States. and agreed TO
meet again tomorrow morning. !.
Favor Protection.
Chairman Blaine said no vote on the
proposal to include protection OF dry
States had been taken, but other MEM
bers asserted the committee had
reached the conclusion some such pro-
vision should be made.
Several plans are before the COM
mittee. most based on suggestions for
making liquor shipments subject to the
laws Of the various States
Blaine said the discussion was not
based upon any one bill or proposal,
but was a general debate Of the Ian
guage that should be used.
Regarded Impractical
The committee also considered,
Blaine said, the possibility Of including
language in repeal resolution to pre-
vent return Of the saloon. He indi-
Gated the discussion was brief as most
members Of the committee believe that
Is impracticable.
A vote on the proposition Of includ-
ing . provision to protect dry States
will not be taken, Blaine said, until
the best possible language has been de-
cided upon.
He indicated that the same proce-
dure would be followed throughout the
committees work.

'COFFMAN IS SOLD |
|. TO ST. LOUIS Club
Nationals Sell Right-Hand
Pitcher to Team He Left
Last June.
BY TOM DOERER.


NEW YORK, December 15.-Dick
Coffman, right-handed pitcher, figured
today In the washington Base Ball
Clubs third deal negotiated here at the
annual session of the major leagues. He
was sold outright to the st. Louis
Browns. the club from which he was
procured in exchange for Carl Fischer,
left-handed pitcher, only last June.
In announcing the sale shortly before
noon, Clark Grifith. washington club
president, did not reveal the amount
received for the pitcher. He stated,
however, that Coffman's price had
nothing to do with the cash considera-
ton involved in the deal that brought
Goose Goslin, Fred Schultz and Walter
Stewart from the Browns in exchange
for Carl Reynolds. Sam West. Lloyd
Brown and an unannounced sum Of
Grifith. this afternoon will resume
conferences with Ava Bradley, presi-
dent, and Billy Evans, general manager
of the Cleveland club, regarding the ex-
change of Harley Boss. first baseman,
for right-hand pitcher. 1t Is under
stood here that the Washington club
may not be successful In getting play
er from the Indians, but probably will
dispose of Boss outright.
Cofman, who broke into the big
leagues with Washington in 1927 and
was first shipped to the Browns in
1928, enjoyed no success as a National
when brought back from st. Louis last
Summer. As q Washington pitcher, he
lost six games before scoring his lone
victory.
Joe Cronin, the Nationals young
manager, has left Grifhth to do all the
dickering with the Cleveland club offl-
cials He is on his way to Washing

GAS RACKETEER
GETTING MONEY

in gathering in coins from the
housewives OF El Centre for "ad-

himself as coming from the plant

appliances in the home. He

everything about the stove or

adjust all burners so that they
work perfectly for the sum of two
dollars. Influenced by stories Of
wasted gas, and lufed by promises
of greater efficiency and a saving
in gas bills, the housewife Oft
times yields and pays the money.
Then later the gas company'S men,

and do the work all over again.
