DRY REPEAL IS
DROPPED FROM
STATEPLATFORM
Defeated On Floor Of
Convention By Vote OF
81 To 78
MARGIN WAS CLOSE
Favored By Wilmington
And New Castle; Kent
And Sussex Reject

The fight over the attempt to
write a prohibition repeal plank in
to the platform of the Republican
State Convention Tuesday afternoon
was sharp, the plank being defeated
by a vote of 82 to 78. The prohibi-
tion plank, a part of the platform
adopted by the convention commit
tee on resolutions appointed by the
various caucuses, read:
I'VE believe that the Republi-
can party at the National Con-
vention to be held at Chicago
should take action in support Of
a resolution of Congress, in con-
formity with the provisions of
the Constitution of the United
States, lowing toward the re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution, such
resolution to be ratified or re-
jected by conventions of the
people i'm the several states
whereby true referendum upon
the issue may be had and the
problem eliminated from parti-
san politics"
While the long drawn out process
of ballOting on the motion of James
F. Alice, ,Ir.. of Kent county, to have
the plank stricken out of the plat
form was going on, the convention
sat literally spellbound awaiting the
final results.
Mr., Alice in making his motion
declared he prayed the time may
never come when the price of Re-
publican ballots will be the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment" Mr..
Alice further condemned the plank,

LARNER MEMORIAL
SERVICE IS HELD
Trustees of Presbyterian
Home Pay Tribute to
Late President.

A special service to commemorate the
activities of the late John B. Larner as
president of the board of trustees of the
Presbyterian Home, 1918 Newton street,
was held this morning at the home, un-
der the auspices Of the present board.
Rev. John c. Palmer. vice president and
acting head of the body, presided, and
the memorial address was delivered by
Rev. Joseph R. Sizoo, pastor of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
Preceding the service meeting of the
Home Corporation was held and two
new members elected to the board.
They are George w. White, president
of the Metropolitan Bank and a men,
| Der of the New York Avenue Church,
and j. Harry Cunningham, president OF
the Lanman Engraving Co. and meme
ber of the Washington Heights PreSby,
terian Church. The new members wen
selected by unanimous vote of the cor
poratlon.
| Portrait Is Presented.
DR.. Palmer presented to the home
on behalf of the board of trustees a
| framed portrait photograph of Mr..
Larner, which will be hung on the walls
Of the building.
| Eulogizing the career and character
Of Mr.. Larner, DR.. Sizoo described him
as a man with an upturned face and
an outbound love" He was, the min
iSter said, "one who did not know how
| to do wrong, a steadying force in every
| forward movement" Mr.. Larner spent
| his whole life in and for this city,
serving its charitable, civic and buSi-
ness organizations, the speaker said.
He was deeply interested in assisting
those who could not take care of them
selves, an interest exemplified by his
activities in connection with the Found
ling Home, the Home for Aged Men
and the Presbyterian Home for Women.
Devotion to Home Cited.
"Mr. Larner possessed a great capacity
for nobility of living" DR.. Sizoo said.
His devotion to the Presbyterian Home
was cited as an example of "selfless
living" Serving 18 organizations in the
city, including the Washington Loan &
Trust Co., of which he was president,
Mr.. Larner devoted his entire time to
thought for others.
! The esteem in which Mr.. Larner was
| held by his associates was indicated, the
| speaker said, when he alone was made
the exception to a rule requiring all
members of the Board of Princeton
! Theological Seminary to be either min
listers or elders.
DR.. Sizoo pointed out that when a
great leader passes a sense of con-
| fusion naturally comes over those who
survive him But, he said, there are
no unfinished symphonies, no broken
circles in Christian philosophy and
"the impact of a living personality
leaves behind it an influence which will
| be carried on"
Following the services, a meeting Of
the Board of Lady Managers was held
! with Mrs. Brainard H. Warner pre-
| siding.

PAY CUT PROTESTS FILED.
Complaints Made in Letters to House
Chairman.

Shut off from appearing at today's
hearing of the House Committee on EX-
penditureS in the executive depart
ments on three bills proposing reduC-
ton in salaries of Federal employees,
national, State and civic organizations
have filed letters with Chairman Coch-
ran of the committee vigorously pro-
testing against the measures.
The committee has ruled that only
those who favor salary reduction legiS-
lation will be allowed to give testi-
mony today.
President William Green of the
American Fed 2ration of Labor, said the
federation was "uncompromisingly OPP
posed to any attempt to force reduC-
tion in the pay scale of Federal en-
ployeS. He gave the following reasons :
We are convinced that a return of
prosperity cannot be brought about
through a persistent and constant re-
duction in the purchasing power of
the masses of the people
Buying Power Stressed.
"The whole Nation is suffering from
unemployment because of lack of buy
ing power upon the part of those whc
consume and use manufactured prod
ucts
What we need to do is to increase
the buying power of the people, en-
large the market extend the use anc
consumption of goods rather than tc
impair it, limit it or curtail it through
reductions in wages and salaries.
"A vicious and most depressing ex-
ample would be set for private indus
try if the GOernment, which is a large
employer OF labor, would force a re-
duction in wages.
The members of Congress should be
constantly reminded that the salaries
paid Federal employees are very modest
and scarcely none is in excess of the
budget requirements necessary for the
maintenance of a family in decency
and comfort"
Low Level Emphasized.
Mrs. Margaret Hopkins Worrell
president of the League of the Ameri-
can Civil Service, said the league was
opposed to the reduction, because for
so years prior to the World War SAL
aries Of Government employees had
been at lamentably low level with
out any increase, and the $240 bonus
given at that time was insufficient to
meet the increased cost of living"
She cited other grounds: Because
thousands Of employees had failed TO re-
ceive promotions as specified in the
classification act; because a 10 per cent
cut would mean little reduction in the
Treasury's deficit, which can best be
met by taxation on luXuries, and be-
cause $3.50 employees mere ARE citizens
of the several States, many of whom
have relatives back home who are de-
pendent upon them for support"
A resolution adopted by the Idaho
State Society expressing opposition to
any reduction was forwarded to the
committee members and also members
of the Idaho congressional delegation.
A similarly phrased document adopt
ed by the Women's City Club was filed
with the committee. The resolution
was adopted at a meeting held by CLUB
members yesterday afternoon.
