VETS CONFIDENT;
DRyS TO FIGHT ON
Both Sides Express Hope
Over Ultimate Repeal
Action. .-

The defeat of the prohibition re-
peal resolution in the House yesterday
brought expressions of continued con-
fldence from the wet side and of de-
termination to night to the last ditch
from the drys.
Delays will not stop unconditional
repeal of tie eighteenth amendment, u
declared Rufus S. Lusk, national legis-
lative officer of the Crusaders, militant
enemies of the dry law.
Lei the drys rejoice" he continued
ITS about their last chance A casual
analysis OF the vote indicates that an
outright repeal resolution will receive
over two-thirds vote In the new House
and that So States will ratify It,"
DR.. F. Scott Mcbride general super
intendent of the Anti-Saiom League.
said the roll call on the vote would
be studied in detail in the conference
of league superintendents and officials
here this week and that it would be
valuable ''in our campaign to resist
repeal between now and the 1884 con-
gressional elections"
THE effort to rush through a repeal
proposal under gag rule will win no ap-
prevail from persons who sincerely wish
the liquor problem to be solved he
declared. THE fact that the wet Re-
publican block as announced by Repre-
sentative Beck on the floor, caucused
and agreed with two exceptions to sup
port the wet Democratic proposal shows
that the vets consider prohibition tC
be non-partisan question. When the
dry Democrats see this clearly they
will throw of the bondage of partisan
coercion and stand by their districts.

NAVAL GUN FACTORY
FACING REDUCTIONS
Current Routine Work Must Pick
Up Says Admiral Larimer
in Report.

Unless current routine work picks up
at the Naval Gun Factory at the Wash
ington Navy Yard, reductions are in
prospect during this fiscal year, Rear
Admiral E. B. Larimer, chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance, Navy Department,
asserted today in his annual report.
There have been slight fluctuations
in the labor and artisan ratings due to
and commensurate with the fluctuations
in work load in the gun factory during
the fiscal year." said the admiral THE
total force is more. by 200 employees of
various ratings, than it was at the end
Of the previous fiscal year.
1T is apparent that the new work
now in hand will be completed in GER
tain of its phases during the coming
fiscal year. and with no more new work
in sight and no increase in current
routine work this condition will result
in reduction in the working forces of
the Naval Gun Factory during the COM
ing fiscal year." he asserted
Twenty EIGHT 8-inch and twenty s.
inch guns were completed at the Naval
Gun Factory during the past fiscal year,
the admiral revealed, in presenting this

13 BELATED MARCHERS
FROM CHICAGO ARRIVE
Escorted From Fairfax When They
Attempt to Camp After
Truck Trouble.
BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

FAIRFAX, Va, December 6.-Thir-
teen hunger marchers," who were set
on foot when their truck burned out
bearing at Fender, miles west of
here, were herded onto Washington by
State police last night when citizens
called for assistance to prevent them
remaining in the section overnight. The
contingent was from Chicago.
James D. Thompson, gasoline filling
station operator, said that they started
to camp between his home and place
of business and refused to move when
ordered to do so. Thompson called the
police
Headed by Joe Jackson, colored, the
contingent started an actual march
when two police cars arrived. After
walking for two miles, the police re-
queSted assistance from passing truck,
and the marchers were taken to the
Highway Bridge, where they were again
set on foot. Another truck finally
picked them up and took them to the
camp in Northeast Washington. Ten
of the marchers were white and three
colored.

SHARP SECTIONAL
SHIFTS LACK|NG|
Virginia and North Carolina
Leading Examples of New
Repeal Sentiment.

BY the Associated Press.
Sentiment revealed in the 1882 ma
tional election shifted four-score House
votes toward prohibition repeal, but
failed to establish any sharp geographic
lines between vets and drys.
Virtually the same membership that
last March refused even to consider a
State liquor control amendment by 227
to 1877, voted yesterday, 272 to 144, for
submitting outright repeal-just six
votes less than the two-thirds majority
constitutional amendments require.
This reversal cut deeply into tradi-
tionally dry areas, but in some sections
strangely left neighboring States I'M
affected. For instance, Kansas and
Arkansas once again stood solidly
against a change, while next-door
Texas voted Is to for repeal, though
eight months ago it was counted IA
to 3 the other way
Two Outstanding Examples.
Virginia and North Carolina pro-
vided outstanding examples of new re-
peal sentiment. They were solidly for
the Garner resolution. Last March
the Old Dominion was recorded two to
one against the Beck-Linthicum pro-
poSal and the Tarheel State was in the
same column, eight to one
bit farther South, Alabama turned
from 8 to l against to 4 to / for, Flor
ida from 3 to l against to in favor,
and Georgia from 10 against to for
and 6 against
In the more populous States less
radical changes were evident Illinois
both times mustered II votes for a
constitutional amendment, New York
polled IS as compared with 80 and
Pennsylvania % against 49, The ILL
nois noes, meanwhile, dropped from
9 to g. New York's from 10 to and
Pennsylvania from is to ~.
Ohio and Indiana Reaction.
Two adjoining States on the Midwest
reacted differently. Ohio's ave votes
dropped from IS to IL. while those on
the other side stood at g. Indiana voted
8 to 5 against the Beck Linthicum
amendment, but was 8 to 4 in favor
of the Garner plan.
Four members who voted to con-
slider last Winters State control amend
ment- Polk Of Ohio, Morton D. Hull
of Illinois. johnson of Washington and
Wood of Indiana-voted against yester-
days repeal resolution. Polk, a Demo-
crat, will serve in the next House, but

MANOR PARK GROUP
COMMENDS POLICE
Adopt Resolution Praising the
Handling of Hunger
Marchers."

A resolution commencing the han
ding of the hunger marchers" by
police of the District was adopted by
the Manor Park Citizens Association
at meeting last night in the Whittier
School, Fourth and Sheridan streets.
While it recognized "the right of
American citizens peaceably to assemble
and petition the Congress for the
redress of grievances as guaranteed
by the Constitution of the United
States" the association felt that such
inyasions are menace to health, a
drain on the already overtaxed relief
organizations of the city and cause the
residents to be left without adequate
police protection"
The association resolved to request
the District to continue its policy of
discouraging groups from coming to the
Capital in this manner and to withhold
all aid to them on the way or upon
arrival here.
The meeting was presided over by
w. H. Seaquist, president.

VETS AND DRYS HIT
CALIFORNIA; PLAN
Anti-SaIoon Liquor Control
Based on Misconception,
Says One Spokesman.

California's anti-saloon liquor con-
troll amendment to the State Constitu-
ton, adopted at the recent election by
100000 majority and regarded by its
sponsors as a model for other States,
falls short Of the ideas of wet and dry
leaders interviewed here.
The amendment. contingent upon an
"if and when" Federal dry laws are re-
pealed or modified, gives the State
blank authority to regulate and control
the manufacture. sale, purchase, pos
session, transportation and disposition
of intoxicating liquor within State
boundaries.
Its prohibiting clause, designed to
prevent the return Of the saloon, but
permit beer and wines to be served with
meals in hotels. restaurants and other
eating places, would also allow the State
Legislature 70 authorize sale of liquor
in retail stores
Limitation of Saloon.
Sponsors of the amendment in re-
marking that California as a grape
growing State is more interested in
legalized wines than any other have eX-
pressed the hope that other States
would adopt similar statutes with a
strict limitation against the saloon.
Edward B. Dunford, attorney for the
Anti-Saloon League, declined today to
comment specifically on the California
amendment, but spoke in general on all
such legislation, saying:
Legislation which deals in changing
the name of the place where liquor is
sold is based on a fundamental miscon-
ception and does not solve the problem.
Intoxicating liquors will intoxicate no
matter whether dispensed by a bar
tender, bootlegger or Government dis
pensary. The benefits of any liquor
legislation comes from the prohibitions
it contains, not from the license it
affords
Opposition of Brewers.
Another opposing view was expressed
by Levi Cooke, general counsel of the
United States Brewers Association, and
who usually is regarded as rejecting
the attitude Of the members of that
organization.
Il personally don't think it will solve
the question. 1t should be approached
more from the trial and error atti-
tude. Why start out with a lot of re-
strictions and limitations when it can't
be determined whether they would
work or not? Prohibition has been
tried and has been found wanting.
Sentiment demands a change Permit
wholesale beverages with fair restric-
tons. If the restrictions are not rigid
enough public sentiment can be relied
upon to change them"
