To eliminate the saloon entirely was d fanatical idea, says Alice Foote Mac Dougall. and to leave it out of present plans for the future is equally fanatical It was not the saloon that made drunkards If it was debauched the politicians were to blame. The institution itself was not re- sponsible. Whenever the saloon in the old days was inlqutous it was made so by politics-the most disgusting. back room mess conceivable. And to-day we are faced with incredible danger if we give back to politicians such power as bootleg gers never had. It doesn't matter how long we must wait how long we must go with out as long as legislation is sound when Il does come. It is perfectly normal for every man or woman to seek some place where pleasant. companionable associations may be formed. For the working man the saloon provided just that. It was the poor mans club Keep the politicians hands off the saloon. Let the poor man. the la boring man. have place where quiet. decent relief from his days troubles may be found. and we shall have happier. more sober nation than we have had in the last B years. There speaks business woman with rare wisdom. Would that she could convey these sentiments to the Connecticut Legislature now pondering on the problem of whether to permit liquor licenses to be entrusted 10 county commissioners or in- sugurate complete state control under com mission form

Our Daily Washington Letter Only One Representative, Pou of North Carolina,
 Recalls Old Capitol Bar
 BY RODNEY BUTCHER

The sudden demise of the House bar and the end of legalIy-sold liquor in the Capitol surprised nearly everybody. The organized drys had been hammering at 1t for years and the House occasionally
 voted to abolish liquor on the premises on the assumption that the Senate, which was then being elected by legislatures and not subject to much minority popular
 pressure, would not concur. This assumption was correct until 1903. Bowersock of dry Kansas had of- fered an amendment to the general immigration bill to prohibit sale of liquor in any immigrant station. Chairman Shattuc of the immigra- ton committee offered proviso exempting beer from that ban and Landis of Indiana said 1t was ri- diculous to present glass of beer to each immigrant on his arrival" "Why don't you distinguish your self by offering a resolution to stop drinking in this capitolY" demand cd Shattuc. So Landis did and the thing suddenly passed, 108 to, 19. According to some accounts, the ab- sentee majority was down at the
 bar.
 Boios Penrose was then chair man of the senate immigration committee and he was very wet. TO everybody's astonishment and for reasons never revealed, he let the amendment come out of his committee. The senate passed 1t, since it had Pcnroses okay, and some of its members said they had grown tired of doing the little business of burial for the House.
 The U. $. district attorney here told the House and Senate restau- rant managers they must get rid of their liquor stocks by July l. and that was the end of liquors open sale at the capitol.

ICY WINDS WILL
 FORCE NUDISTS
 TO OBEY EDICTS
What the Law Could Not Enforce, Winter Time
 Will Accomplish

Chicago, Oct. 1S-(UP)-What with icy Winds and unkind courts, a chill world today greeted the 500 or more nudists who have been disporting themselves along Lake Michigan's shores since last spring.
 No longer did the eheery chorus of nudist voices sing "Unashamed," {" the camp song of the Roselawn, Ind, colony. And at Allegan, Mich, no youths and Nymph-like maid ems disported.
 Until today the Roselawn nudists had sung with glee.
 We know the trees, the birds and lilies
 Are growing fearless and un-
 "For God has made us in his image,
 "And we. like they. are un- ashamed"
 A court order halted the music as it had previously a few miles away in Michigan. Judge George F. Sammon at Kentland, not far from Roselawn, ordered the colony to halt operations.
 But the prying' eyes of law en- forcers were not the only handi- cap the colonies of nude men and women had to face. They admitted today that the ever-chahging pro- gression of the seasons was bring ing their activities to an end, any, way.
 ''The wind is mighty sharp these days" said one erstwhile convert of the Zoro Nature league, which flourished in Zorro Nature Park at Roselawn. "Nudism isn't much fun when it gets cold. don't think anyone will fight very hard to keep the camp open this winter"

TWOCIVL SUITS
 ASK DAMAGESM
 SUM OF $l5,OOO
First Is an Auto Case and the Other an Assault
 Action

Damages of $15,0O0 are asked in two civil actions filed to-day in the common pleas court. The first is an automobile suit and the sec- ond is an assault and battery complaint. Frances Hunt of Wa terbury is plaintiff in the automo- bile action in which $1O,0OQ dam- ages are sought. A. A. Abeson, Inc, of Bridgeport is defendant.
 Edward Manthey of this city is plaintiff in the assault suit. Attorney William K. Lawlor brings both actions, returnable to the com mon pleas court for the plaintiff.
 In the Hunt suit, the plaintiff charges she was driving her car in Danbury, October l. 1892 and had just rounded a curve, preparatory to going down a steep hill when her machine collided against a truck owned by the defendant that was parked without headlights or tail-light. She suffered a frac- tured skull, concussion of the brain and decorations about the neck and body, rendering her hurts perman- ent in nature.
 In the assault suit, Manthey charges he was assaulted in the Connecticut hotel on Center street September 22, 1893 by one Frank Keliher, agent of the defendant. It is alleged in the suit that the de- fendant is the owner of the hotel and that Keliher was employed there as night clerk. Manthey asserts he was kicked about the face and head and that his eye was severely injured.

NEW ENGLAND IS
 TOBUILD YACHT
 FOR GREAT RACE
Sportsmen of This Section Will Try for Defender
 of the Cup

Boston, Oct 1S--(UP)--With receipt of word from London that a challenge has been filed for the Americas cup, plans were speeded here today for the construction of a defender by a group of New England yachtsmen. Thomas Oc- tave Nurdocl Sopwith. British air plane manufacturer, yesterday filed formal challenge through the Royal Yacht squadron for a match, probably in 1894. The chal- lenge must be sent to the New York Yacht club, which has held the in- ternational cup since 1851 when it was won at Cowes by the schooner American after which the thophy is named. Gerard B. Lambert and Frederick H. Pinceton, Boston sportsmen, and Harold s. Wander bilt, of Newport, R. l., successful skipper of. the last cup defender, Enterprise, will be associated in the building of the American craft, the keel of which will be laid shortly in a New England yard.
 Simultaneously, it was learned that a syndicate of New York yachtsmen, formerly owners of the Weetamoe. also would sponsor a candidate.
 It was reported that Charles Francis Adams, former secretary of the navy and skipper of the 1920 cup defender. the Resolute, would be at the helm of the New, York boat. Adams, however, told the United Press that he didn't think he would competei tn the races.
 T still race boats, but don't think I will be skipper in the next Americas cup races" he said.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, Oct IS. (UP)-While the Boston Wool Market to-day re- mained basically as firm as ever and asking prices showed no sigr of weakness, it was possible to pick up occasional small lots somewhat cheaper than a few days ago.
 The prices, however, were within the quoted range. Buyers were noticably less active and sales de- cidedly small, which made 1t diff ficult for sellers to secure full ask ing prices.
 Ohio Deaine a d nsimilar fine combing vols are quoted at 34-35 cents, grease; 1-2 blood, 35-36; 3S blod, 41-42; and 1-4 blood, 40-41.

Shares Had Drifted
 DolUn Bat Rec0Dered
Grains Advanced But Still the Stocks Went Down
 Copper Had Bad Slump
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM


 New York, Oct 1S-UP)-An additional damper to any imitation hopes, contained in Washington re- ports that sound money likely would be the basis of the nations monetary policy, brought pressure in to the share market today.
 Drifting steadily lower through the fore part of the session, the market speeded up and was touching lows at the close after the United States dollar had turned from early weakness to strength. At the lows stock prices ranged from to more than 6 points low CT.
 The lower stock prices came in face of a continued advance in grains. Cotton held around the pre- vious close after an early gain of around S1.50 a bale. But elsewhere there were depressing views. Cop per slumped to 2 1-2 cents, the lowest price since May, while lead also dropped. Steel ingot produc- tion was down 5 points, petroleum out put wasi increased and the in- crease in electric power produc- tion was less than in recent weeks.
 Bonds turned lower in the late trading.
 There was no time during the session that stock prices showed strength. The opening was ireg- ularly lower and trading dull.
 Just before the close, after the dollar strength had come into the market, trading started picking up. There was no group leadership, save possibly the more volatile wet and mining shares, and the market dropped swiftly.
 U. S. Smelling was under the most pressure and lost more than points. Close behind is came Ma tional Distillers with almost $ points losses. Elsewhere in the list losses of 2 to points were com mon.
 United States steel was pushed down throughout the session, main- ly on the Iron Age report showing ingot production down points. This one time leader fell below S8. A number of stop-loss orders re- portedly were in the market on this issue at 37 and 3S.
 Motor shares could not hold well with Chrysler leading this group wiht a loss of almost 4 points. Several market recommendations have urged short positions in this issue. General Motors lost more than 1 point.
 Oils weakened under pressure with Standard of California down more than points as was seaboard of Delaware. Johns Manville and Celanese both favorites for group operations recently, were sold with the former losing more than points and the latter more than points. Farm equipment shares were 1 to more than ? points lower while about the same loss came in- to rails. Losses in the utility group were held to narrower limits.

event of the failure of the city to pay. when and as provided in the contract, the committee may de- fray such cost from prorata col- lections made on deposited obliga- tons. Such collections, however. are to be reimbursed when pay ments are later made by the city. This stipulation, 1t is stated, is en- tireiy satisfactory to the commit tee, which from the beginning has maintained that no part of the cost of carrying out the plan shall be borne by the bondholders. The contract between the city and the Refunding Committee provides that the members of the committee shall serve without compensation.
 In order to consummate the Re- funding Plan, whereby bondhold- CTS will receive the new refunding bonds and the regular payment of interest as provided in the plan. the committee recommends the im- mediate deposit of all remaining bonds and notes covered by the plan.

Boston, Oct. IS = (UP)-Fred- erick w. Mansfield, lawyer, has been endorsed by the good govern ment association in Boston's seven- cornered mayoralty race in this city. The association after sev- eral months silence issued Q for nal statement last night throwing its support to Mansfield to end "12 year of mismanagement at City Hall" State Senator Henry Park man, Jr., and municipal Judge Mi chael H.
