and fermented berry wines is per-
mitted, for home consumption.

Consumption before prohibition
averaged l.31 liters of pure alcohol per

the end of prohibition, the average

the total, other strong drinks from 16
per cent, malt liquors (reduced to pure
alcohol 7 per cent, and wines only 3
per cent.

point of view is indicated by the fact
that home production accounts for 80
per cent of total sales

his home in Bayside, L. l. today.
Conqueror of John j. Sullivan,
the toughest gladiator of his time,
1t was Jim Corbett whose spectac-

other human act to make pugilism
respectable" in an age when the
ring was scorned by society and
outlawed by nearly every state in
the Union.
Corbett was 67 years old. His
death, due to a glandular disorder
which induced heart disease, was
not unexpected, for he had been in
critical condition since January 80.
Corbett died at 2:10 p. m. in the
presence of his wife and two life
long friends, John and Dennis
Keleher.
DR.. G.. Willard Dickey, his ply
sician, had made a routine call this
morning and administered a mar
cotic, which induced a deep sleep
for several hours. DR.. Dickey was
not present when the oid-tine
champion passed away.
The last sacraments of the
church were administered several

HOUSE REPUBLICANS PLEDGE
SUPPORT TO REPEAL MEASURE

ventions which must ratify the re-
pealer. Congressional authorities
believed it probably would be about
two years before many of these
conventions began to function.
They did not think many states
would go to the expense of holding
special elections to choose conven-
ton delegates, but would wait un-
til the next regular elections.
Rainey Sees Victory
Statistics led Democratic Leader
Rainey to predict victory for repeal
by a 20 vote margin. Others fore
saw a narrower margin, but every
responsible house leader was on
record as believing passage assured.
An elusive six votes defeated the
Garner repeal amendment in the
house on the first day of the pre-
sent session. On that occasion, l03
Republicans, l68 Democrats, and
one Farmer-Laborite supported re-
peal.
The Republican leaders now
claim to have added seven votes.
Democrats, on the basis of their
caucus strength, should register an
additional IA anti prohibition votes.
Only one member, Rep. Sanders,
Dem. Tex, is known to have
switched from repeal to opposition.
With the house lining up for
swift action, speculation among
party leaders turned to the posi-
bility of additional legislation to
force speedy decision by the states.
Some enthusiastic vets hold that
congress may constitutionally force
the states to summon the special
conventions and thus hasten rati-
fication. However, Speaker Garner
said today he saw no necessity for
this action at the present session.

NEW YORK, Feb. IS. Pres

national chairman.
Before Farley called on him,
however, he was visited by Arthur
Mullen, national committeeman
from Nebraska. While both men
were reluctant to discuss what they
had taken up with the President
elect, it was believed that the
cabinet was one of the matters un-
der consideration.
Mr.. Roosevelt has practically set
tied upon Henry Wallace of Iowa
for secretary of agriculture, accord

Mullen, who was floor manager
of the Roosevelt forces in the Chi

seems to know.
A heavy police detail kept watch
0bout the East 65th street home
of the President-elect. They kept
all pedestrians on the move and
the easy familiarity OF other days
was missing.
