NEW YORK, June 8 GN.sO.
Inspired to redoubled activities
by gaining perhaps their most
powerful convert in John D.
Rockefeller, jr., the nations wet
forces today massed for a final
onslaught on prohibition.
AS the first step in the united
campaign to force inclusion of a
clear-Spoken repeal plank in the
platforms of both major political
parties, the anti-prohibition forces
quickly consolidated and organ
lied the united repeal council" !"
which will carry the plank fight
to the forthcoming Democratic
and Republican conventions in
Chicago.
Pierre S. du Pont was elected
chairman and Mrs. Charles H.
Sabin vice president. The or
ganizations opposed to prohibition
backing the council have vot-
ing membership aggregating q
100000 throughout the country.

COBLENTZ AIDE
CITES NOTE
DEALINGS

= CUMBERLAND, Md, June
S.-Charles Matthias, vice presl-
dent of Central Trust Com
pnay, Frederick, was put on
the stand today at the trial OF
Emery L. Coblentz, president
of the bank, charged with ac-
cepting'a deposit when he
knew the bank was insolvent,
to explain dealings of the
Guarantors Investment, made
up largely of bank officials,
with the parent bank.
Matthias is treasurer of the
Guarantors Investment.
Regarding the Columbia Con-
etruction Company note, en-
dorsed by Coblentz, Matthias ad-
mitted it had been in the bank
for several years. This was a
small company he and Coblentz
had formed to build houses in
ohlblIIlOACs GO44OWAAAS AASA5N0AS@@
the affairs of the company were
wound up in 1923. This note Of
$500 was transferred to the
Blueridge Investment Company.
It was always the understanding
that Mr.. Coblentz was to pay
this note.
Matthias was quizzed as to the
statement Of the GuarantorS In
vestment as of July 3, 1881, COW
ering a series of notes they took
up as an accommodation to Mr..
CoblentZ.
Matthias was also questioned
regarding a note for $15O,000
made by Samuel j. Henry. He
said Henry was an officer Of the
F.. H. Smith Company of Wash
ington and no interest had been
paid on the note for at least two
years. He said Henry had never
repudiated obligations and he
thought the note, which origin
ally was for $4,000, was good.

DRY CHIEF RAPS
ROCKEFELLER

PHILADELPHIA, June 8 G.N.S) =.
Prohibition advocates, recovering
from the staggering blow dealt by
the detection of John D. Rookie
teller, jr., struck back today.
Bishop Ernest G.. Richardson,
national president of the Anti
Saloon League and head of the
Methodist church in the Phila-
delphia area, accused Rockefeller
of falling victim to "the common
errors of wet propaganda"
He denied the Rockefeller as
sertions that liquor selling estab-
lishmentS have increased two and
three fold since the advent of
prohibition. He added:
"It simply is not true that
drinking has increased"

Committee of Fourteen in New York Couldn't Get Any More Funds to Back Them

: New York, Nov s5. tuP)-New 1ork's most prominent anti-vice crganization, the committee Of fourteen. has been forced to dis band because of lack of funds. 7 The scommittee's 37 general members have been notified by Dr James Pederson, ciairman, that the depression, the inyestigation of the seabury committee. and criti- icism of its work by, Raymond M0ley, Columbia university pro- lessor who fs Governor Roosevelt's E adviser, had made 1t Impossible to raise the sf5. 1000 budget.
 [. The Seabury inquiry. according to William. H. Baldwin, treaurer, in It's expose of the police vice squad caused a public hysteria over the framing of innocent women and the impression devel- oped in some quarters that the committee of fourteen either was a party to such methods or was derelict in not having exposed them."
 Baldwin added that New York newspapers, after learning all the facts. retained their confidence in the committee.
 Moley's criticism, set forth in a recent book, .sTribunes of the Peo- ple," was made without examina- ton of committee records. Baldwin declared. "It might have been more in the tradition of university re- search if he had visited our office and checked his impressions first hand" the treasurer remarked.
 George E. Worthington, the committees general secretary and counsel, added this comment:
 ''The committee is needed more now in New York than 1t ever wag,"

Damages of $10.000 are asked in a civil action started in the com mon pleas court to-day by George Nolan of Waterbury against James Van Sickle of Clifton, N. J.
