UTAH TO CONTINUE
DRY DESPITE VOTE
SETTLING REPEAL
Drastic State Liquor Law
Remains to Be Eliminated
by Legislature.
BY FRANK p. STEWART.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, November
11.-Utah has cleared the skies for re-
peal. With the result never seriously
in doubt, voters Of this State last Tues
day rolled up vote Of nearly to 1
in favor Of casting the eighteenth
on the scrap heap.
The State also purged its own con-
stitution Of a prohibition clause much
more drastic than was that Of the
Nation. AS predicted, all of the more
populous centers went wet by q heavy
majority, while few Of the counties,
with a scattered rural population, went
dry. One Of these small counties, how
ever, scored q 9-to-l wet vote. Yet,
despite this strong expression Of opln-
ion, Utah Is dry and will continue
dry until q new and more liberal
hquor-control law is passed.
Beer Law in Eject Soon.
Beer has been provided for In o
law which will 60 into effect January
/, 1884. Aside from beer. however,
Utahans cannot drink any beverage
containing more than one-half of
per cent alcohol legally. They are
drinking II illegally now and the State
Is getting no revenue.

CONNECTICUT READY
WITH CONTROL LAW
State Legislature Already Has
Adopted Regulatory Measure
for Sale of Liquor.

Special OlSpHlCn 10 Inc SLAT
HARTFORD, Conn. November IL
Formal ratification of prohibition re-
peal, except for the legal availability Of
hard liquors, will mean little in this
State, which is one of the two never
to have ratified the eighteenth amend
ment
After the hottest fight in a genera
ton, the Legislature last Spring adopted
control act, setting up a State board
of three members to regulate sales, in
which it is provided the alcoholic liq-
uors, other than beer and wine, may be
sold only in package stores, not for
consumption on the premises, and by
drug stores on prescription, also not for
consumption on the premises.
The act is in high disfavor with the
hotel proprietors and restaurant keep
ers, who want to sell hard liquors, but
there seems to be no prospect of a
special session Of the Legislature to
make the changes these groups ask,
and the next regular session will not
begin until January, 1885.

STATE LIQUOR LAW
STANDS IN VERMONT
Vets to Ask Special Session, but
Drys Will Oppose It as
Needless Move.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BURLINGTON, VT. November IL
Although Vermont voted on September
more than two to one for repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment, it will be
some time before anything stronger
than 80 beer and wine can be legally
sold in the State.
Prohibition was the law in Vermont
for exactly so years, from 1852 to 1902.
In that latter year, following refer
endum, local option law was passed
and this was in force when the eight
eenth amendment was adopted. The
Legislature then passed State liquor
law In conformity Herewith, and that
cannot be changed until the Legislature
meets in January, 1885, unless Gov.
Wilson calls a special session.
That he will be asked to do so by the
vets is expected. The drys on their
part will argue there Is no emergency
that warrants the expense Of special
session.

No Changes Expected in
North Carolina Law by
General Assembly.
BY ROBERT e. WILLIAMS.

special Dispatch to The Star.
RALEIGH, N. c., November IL
North Carolina remains dry. The
10000 majority registered in this State
on Tuesday against repeal of the eight
zenith amendment means that both
political parties are sure to adopt bone
dry platforms in 1884 and that no
change will be made in the State pro-
hibition laws by the 1885 General
Assembly which does not meet with
the approval Of at, least some Of the
dry leaders.
Dy leaders are now demanding re-
peal Of the 1888 statute legalizing beer,
although there have been few if any
complaints because Of abuses under the
statute. In fact, it has been woefully
disappointing as revenue producer
and has resulted In only limited con-
sumption
Although the drys formed the same
combination with the church forces
and the Republicans which carried the
State for Hoover in 1928 and the wom-
en- were more active in the recent
campaign, the result was surprise.

WILMINGTON, Del, November H.
Delaware, sixth State TO join in the
victorious repeal parade. will permit
the sale OF liquor as soon as the thirty
sixth State convention has formally
ratliled the twenty-firSt amendment.
The State Legislature, in May, this
year. enacted liquor control plan
drafted close to the views of Pierre S.
du Pont national leader in the repeal
movement, and Gov. c. Douglass Buck
named Mr.. du Pont to the one-man
commission which was provided to
supervise the beer and LIQUOR traffic
under the act.
Under Mr.. du Pont the sale of 80
per cent beer in Delaware has been
met with but little or no Complaint,
The commission, because Of his prom
inent position in the national drive
against prohibition, is said to be at
tempting to make Delaware's LIQUOR
= control system a model for the coun-
try. He serves without pay
With the power to choose between
private or commission sale of LIQUOR
Mr.. du Pont has determined to give
private sale trial first. He has
stated that the handling of beer in

his expectations, he indicates that he

KENTUCKY TO HOLD
DRY CONVENTION
ON NOVEMBER 4.
Expected to Be 32d or 33d
State to Take Final
Action.
BY HARRY BLOOM.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


LOUISVILLE, KY, November I1.-A
large majority for repeal is indicated
by Kentucky's vote, making the State
the thirty to approve cessation
of the noble experiment. Inasmuch as
Kentucky'S ratifying convention falls
on November 27, the earliest for any of
the States that balloted Tuesday, it
will be the thirty-second or thirty-third
to ratify.
The Texas convention meets on the
same day. 1t took the urban centers
to throw Kentucky into the wet column
Out of the country districts the vets
and drys ran neck and neck but the
city tide was overwhelming.
Louisville, for example, returned q
is to vote against prohibition.
It appears that so or more counties
of the States 100 might vote dry. The
voters also approved an amendment to
the State constitution abolishing all
tax on real estate. That is expected
to precipitate fight at the next Legis-
lature over some form of substitute tax,
possibly the income or the sales tax.
Because of the States slow vote
counting procedure, by which all of the
veteS in each county are tabulated at
central point, the final result will not
be known until the middle Of next
week

BY EDWARD M. GILROY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TRENTON, N. j., November 11.-One
Of the wettest States of the Union dur
ing the prohibition regime, New Jersey
will provide for wide-open sale Of liquor
after December 6, with none Of the
restrictions contemplated in neighbor-
ing States.
Liquor viii be sold In retail estab-
hshments by the drink or by the bottle
and in restaurants, clubs and hotels,
according to the plan considered by
the Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
Some restriction may be placed on the
number of retail establishments on a
basis of population, but there is no idea
in New Jersey of providing a State dis
pensary system or of adopting the Ca
madam plan of not selling liquor by
the drink.
Prohibition enforcement visa asyer a
success in New Jersey and the state
was In the forefront of every movement
to overthrow or discredit the eighteenth
amendment. Sentiment of the citizens
IS so one-sidedly against prohibition
that the beverage board realizes ary
attempt to impose rigid restrictions will
lead 70 continuance Of graft, corruption
and bootlegging.

CRAFTERS SELL
INFLUENCE IN
CAPITOL RACKET
Fraternity Brothers and
Inside Track Are
Some Claims.
BY WALKER STONE
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga very
thriving business is being done in
Washington these days by gentle
men engaged in selling influence
influence, be it said, which the
gentlemen haven't got. 1t has be-
come almost major racket, if the
stories now current can be believed.
| Offices of the racketeerS are scat
tered over downtown Washington.
Some have legal connections. and
have established Washington
branches for their law firms. Others
operate from hotel rooms. In an
other, and numerous class, are
Washington attorneys who belong
to the party in power, whichever it
may be, and who know their way
around among the government de-
| partments.
All in all, individuals and corpora
tons seeking a backdoor entrance
to administration favor find no lack
OF racketeerS who claim to have The
magic key and promise to use it for
a consideration.
/ Selling influence that you do not
have is one of the oldest rackets in
politics. Public officials from the
highest down are sold" daily by
persons these officials would not
recognize if they met on the street.
Take Down Payment
The established practice is to take
certain payment down, for which
the racketeer agrees to use his in
fluence to get the government Job,
contract, ruling, permit or agree
ment not to prosecute - whatever
the credulous client may want. And
if the client gets what he wants the
racketeer collects the remainder of
the fee.
Sometimes the client does get
what he wants, generally through a
natural course of events, but the
racketeer gets the credit and collects
the fee. Regardless of whether the
client gets what he wants, however,
the racketeer already has the down
payment, and who could prove he
did not try to use his influence"
Job Seekers Preyed Upon
The ways of creating an impress
sion of influence are legion. There
are the regular party channels. Men
who have had some prominence in
the party back home establish head
quarters in Washington, and listen
to the propositions of all Corners
from the home state. Others make
their contact through the entertain
ment route, managing one way or
another to be seen with high gov
eminent officers in public places.
Others are, or claim to be, old COL
iege classmates and fraternity
brothers. AS a rule, the prospective
client must depend upon what the
racketeer says he can do.
Perhaps the lowest class in the
influence racket are the job sellers,
persons who prey on the distress of
unemployed persons, pedGilng their
alleged influence for whatever price
the job seeker can raise.
A case was recently investigated
of a man who organized a Such
and-Such Democratic League, an
organization not even remotely con-
nected with the party, which the
organizer used as a front to sell
government jobs for IS, $40, $25-
jobs, of course, that were never de-
livered.

STOP THAT COLD

DISTRESSING cold in chest or

something serious, generally eases
up in five minutes when soothing,

Musterole gets action because it's

BY SISTER MARY
NEA Snr,,.icn NNritnr

HUNDREDS of home-makers
daily face the problem of serv.
ing wholesome and palatable
meals as economically as possible.
Too often economy leads us into
rut and appetites lag from the
sheer monotony of eating the same
food in the same way over and
over again.
Unusual seasonings can do so
much for everyday meat dishes
that it behooves ever cook to
study their possibilities and make
full use of them.
Vegetable and meat combina-
tions are interesting and appetite
ing as well as a means toward
economy.
The following rule for chilli con
carne is unusual in several re-
spects. 1t uses pork in place of
beef and it adds corn and okra in
place Of the traditional beans.
Chilli powder rather than chilli
peppers give the distinctive sea-
soning.
Chill Con Carne
One and one-half pounds lean
pork, Il cup -four, 1 teaspoon
salt, Is teaspoon pepper. 1 Glove
garlic, l cup sifted tomatoes, l
cup water, 1 cup canned corn, 1
cup canned okra, 1 tablespoon
chilli powder.
Remove fat from pork and try
out in frying pan. Cut lean meat
in small cubes and toss in -four
which has been mixed with salt
and pepper. Cut garlic very fire.
Saute prepared meat with garlic |
in hot pork fat until brown. Re-
move garlic. Mix chilli powder to |
a smooth paste with about table
spoon cold water and add to to-
matoes and water which have
been heated to the boiling point.
Put a layer of meat in casserole,
cover with a layer of corn and
okra and then another layer of
meat. Continue layer for layer
until all is used. Pour over toma-
to mixture, cover casserole and
bake in a moderate oven for two
