HOUSE WET BLOC
LACKS IS NAMES
Petition to Discharge Com
mittee CONSIDERING Repeal
Gets 127 Signatures.

The wet drive in the House to OBJ
tain 145 signatures to a petition to dis
charge the Judiciary Committee from
further consideration of resolution
proposing repeal of the eighteenth
amendment last night had crept up to
127, or short just 18 to force a vote
on a motion to discharge the committee.
Wet leaders continued to express their
confidence that they would have the
necessary las signatures. Admittedly,
however, the drive had slowed up con-
siderably. A number of wet members
of the House have been absent and are
expected to sign up as soon as they
return.
The proposed vote in the House on
resubmission of the eighteenth amend
ment is not awaited with any degree
OF pleasure, however, by a number of
the members who hail from districts
which have been close or in which
either dry or a wet minority holds
the balance of power.
The avowed purpose of the vets Is
to turn the spotlight on these members
and compel them to declare themselves
wet or dry before the coming nomina-
tions and elections are held.
Speaker Garner may find an oppor-
tunity to declare his attitude on the
eighteenth amendment in connection
with this present effort to discharge
the judiciary Committee from consid-
Grafton of the reSubmisSion resolution
If sufficient number of signatures Is
obtained to the petition, the question
will arise in the House as to whether
the committee should be discharged
The Speaker has, of course, the right
to vote on this question and to speak on
it if he desires to do so. Other Speakers
have left the chair to champion variou;
causes from the floor in the past ano
have voted.
The late Champ Clark took the floor
in opposition to President Woodrow Will
son on the Panama Canal tolls question
and the late Speaker Longworth at
tackled the Republican administration
when a cruiser fight was up in the
House.
Dispatches from Texas quote Speaker
Garner as saying he would not discuss
prohibition or other subjects which are
not before the House for consideration
Prohibition, however, may be before the
House if the vets get enough signatures
to their petition.
Some of the vets are talking of asking
Speaker Garner to sign their petition il
and when they get 144 signatures and
need only one more.

STRAWN TOATTENO .
CHAMBER PARLEY.
Will Arrive in Paris March 8
to Participate in Inter-
national Sessions.

BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS, France, February 27.-Silas
H. Strawn of Chicago arrives in Paris
March 8 to participate In the thirty
seventh council meeting of the Inter
national Chamber of Commerce, of
which he is vice president for the
United States.
The chamber has always been a
quiet worker, preparing the way. for
agreements, smoothing out trade chan
nels. The coming meeting will give
the business men an opportunity to do
something ReparationS, war debts,
foreign exchange control and import
quotas will be discussed.
Foreign exchange control has placed
all business in politics in the countries
exercising such control. with the result
that the volume of trade has decreased
in startling proportions, almost vanish
ing in some countries, such as Austria
and Hungary.
Report to Be Made.
A council committee will render re-
port on exchange regulations. The
Lausanne Conference, slated for June,
will be the most important subject on
the agenda, as reparations are con-
sidered the factor most disturbing to
trade. In discussing quotas, the Cham
Der of Commerce will have an oppor-
tunity of ascertaining whether the
theory still holds good that what Is
advantageous for one is beneficial for
all.
Mr.. Strawn will see that France and
Germany get together through an Eco
nomic Committee to give preferential
treatment to Germany on % items
which the United States exported to
France, as enamel ware, electrical goods,
machine tools, taps, brushes, nonfer-
rous metals, flexible metal tubing,

T|NKHAM ATTACK

Methodist Temperance Board
Defends Cannon From
Latest Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The Methodist Board of Temperance
Prohibition and Public Morals yester-
day termed the latest attack of Repre-
sentative Tinkham of Massachusetts, on
Slsnop James Cannon. jr., "bluster and
oluH evidently based upon the pre-
sumption that the American people are
utter fools"
In its weekly Clip Sheet the board re-
viewed the Tinkham- Cannon contro-
versy over the churchman's anti-Smith
activities In 1928 and applauded a Dis
trlct OF Columbia court for sustaining
CannonS demurrer and throwing out
his indictment under the Federal cor
rupt practices act.
AIter Ilnkham accused Cannon of
violating the law, the Clip Sheet recalled.

gresslonal immunity and sued for libel.
Inc representative recently dared
BISHOP Cannon to proceed with his ac-
tlon for damages" the Clip Sheet
added.
Immunity Plea Charged.
And yet only a short time before. "
1t said, Mr.. Tinkham, through his at
torneys, had appeared in court and
humoly pleaded that the atrocious al
legations were protected under
the privilege of congressional immunity.
and this plea was made despite the fact
that Mr.. Tinkham, in the most spec
tacuiar way. had definitely laid aside

Apparently, Bishop Cannons only
oHense was that he opposed Gov. Al
smith for President" added the board.
What his enemies actually accom-
plished, 1t asserted. was to increase his
influence, particularly in the South,
"immeasurably."
Saying there is little expectation
that the action of the lower court will
be reversed" on appeal, the clipsheet
concluded:
THE question has been honestly
asked more than once, why should
Bishop Cannon object to reporting the
funds he used in Virginia. The answer
is very simple: Such a report would
have endangered the personal and busi-
ness interests of many humble patriots
and it was the bishops duty to keep
faith with them in so far as the law
permitted"

Brown Bear Sanctuary
 Movement Subsidies

That there has been a let-up in the efforts of John M. Holz- worthy and other eastern con- servationists to create a brown bear sanctuary on Admiralty and Chichagof Islands and there is now no danger that their proposal will be put into effect by the federal authori- ties, is the substance of a state ment made to the Juneau Elm pire a few days ago by Paul c. Redington, chief of the United States Biological Survey.
 Mr. Redington, who is now visiting the Territory, stated that most of the conservation ists who supported the move ment initiated by Noteworthy have become convinced that it is unnecessary and are satis- fled that the Alaska Game Commission and Biological Survey are handling the brown bear resources of the Territory in a manner to effectively pro- tect them from destruction.
