COURT FREES
PROHIBITION
PRISONER
Justice 0'Donoghue DeIares
Dec. 5 Should Mark End of
All Confinement
BY International News Service


The last prop of prohibition
enforcement was swept aside
today by Justice Daniel w.
O'Donoghue in District Su-
preme Court, who ruled that
all persons now serving
sentences under the dry law
are entitled to their freedom.
Harry T. johnson, %, a con-
victed bootlegger, serving as his
own attorney. paved the way for
the ruling. He was granted a writ
of habeas corpus, freeing him
from the District Jail where he
was serving a sentence Of one
year to 18 months for transport
ing liquor.
"Guided by Reason"
In rendering his decision, Justice
ODonoghue said:
'This case presents a novel
question. There are no legal
precedents and the court is
guided only by reason and
analogy. 1 think the people
have the right to declare what
is their will, I think that the
people declared their will in
making repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment unconditional.
81 believe that anything con-
Summated prior to December S
when the Twenty-first Amend
ment was ratified stands. But
in cases where there is anything
remaining, even confinement in
a Jail or penitentiary, it should
bet set aside. The petitioner
is discharged"
johnson, last of the bootleggers
left in the Jail, pleaded that
under the recent decision Of the
United States Supreme Court
where a judgment of a liquor
law conviction had been entered
and appeal to a higher court was
taken, the Judgment was inopera-
tive after repeal, he should be
liberated.
Exception is Noted
When the court pronounced its
decision, U. S. Attorney william
A. Gallagher noted an exception
and indicated his intention Of
carrying the case to higher
tribunals.
Col. William L. Peak, superin-
tendent of the Lorton Reforma-
tory, said a search of his records
showed he had but three men
serving sentences for violation of
the National Prohibition act. All
have previous criminal records, he
said.
There are five others at the re-
formatory serving sentences for
violation Of the act, but also they
are under sentence for other
crimes, such as joy-riding, smoke
screen, and robbery,

WARREN LAUDS
HOUSE CAFE

Defending the right Of the
House Committee on Accounts to
exclude colored persons from the
House restaurant. Representative
Lindsay c. Warren CD of North
Carolina, chairman of that COM
mittee, today addressed the House
shortly after it convened.
In 1921, Mr.. Warren declared,
the restaurant was established by
a resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Clifford Ireland (RO Of
Illinois, and the House Committee
on Accounts placed in charge.
Since last year the chairman Of
that committee has had full
powers to manage that restaurant
and, as a result, for the first time.
operated it at a profit. Colored
persons, he pointed out further,
have had a separate restaurant
provided them in the basement Of
the Capitol.
Representative oscar DePriest
(R0 Of Illinois, the Houses only
colored member, was not on the
floor when Mr.. Warren made his
address, although q quorum had
been called.

New Auto Peace Plan Reported
to Have Been Offered By
White House
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

Presid e mt Roosevelt vir-
tually cast aside routine en-
gagements today, awaiting
word from either faction in.
the automotive labor dispute
that it will accept his sug-
gestions for peace.
White House doors are wide
whenever either the manufacr
turers or labor officials want to-
see the President.
Decision Believed Near
There were no new develop.
ments in the labor negotiations
over night. Both sides today were
busy in conferences, however. Ac-
ton Of some sort was expected be-
fore nightfall.
Apparently, the President laid a.
definite proposal for peace before
the executives and labor in White
House conferences with each
group. Until some sort Of reply
is brought to Mr.. Roosevelt, he is
simply waiting and watching the
situation carefully.
Recovery Administrator Hugh
johnson will bring word to the
White House whenever either fac
ton is ready to return and pre-.
sent an answer to the Presidents
suggestions. General johnson is
acting as liaison man for workers,
executives, and the White House.
AS the day wore on with no
developments, the union chiefs ar
ranged a meeting with General
johnson at his office for 2:30
o'clock this afternoon. It was be-
lieved the situation would be can
vassed thoroughly at this meeting
although, shortly before the meet
ing got under way, there was no
indication the workers planned to
seek another conference with the
President.
Labor Holds Farley
During the forenoon, the auto
mobile manufacturers stuck to
their hotel rooms. The labor rep
resentatives held session at the
A. F. of L. headquarters. :
The only concrete accomplish
ment revealed so far was a
further postponement of the
threatened general strike Of
auto workers.
William Green, president Of
the American Federation Of
Labor, announced the strike will

when he was out Of work and
living with her and her family
in Dallas, he deserted her. Since
then, she says, she has never
seen him.
At the time her husband de-
serted her, Mrs. Farley declared,
she entered desertion charges
against him in Dallas. Since her
arrival in Washington early in
December last year, she said,
young Mr.. Farley has started di-
vorce proceedings in Auburn, Ind.
The young mother believes her
husband is employed somewhere
in washington and that he is
earning a substantial salary.
Representative Farley today
stated that he has no knowledge
of the whereabouts of his son.
That his son did not desert Mrs.
Farley but that she left him three
years ago.
He further stated that he does
not contemplate helping support
his daughter-inlaw because of the
fact that he believes her father
is "a well-to-do man."
He also said that under a Sepa-
ration agreement, his son has been
paying money monthly to Mrs.
Farley.
Mrs. Farley denied this.
Mrs. Farley, an attractive bru-
nette, is 80 years old. Her children

With Democratic leaders de-
claring passage is assured. the
House today started lengthy de-
bates on the Administrations
tariff-bargaining bill.
Chairman Doughton (DO of
North Carolina, of the Ways and
Means Committee, was confident
Of strong Democratic support after
a checkup by party whips.
Republican opponents planned
to offer amendments limiting
the bill to three years, forbidding
the President to act without a
finding of facts by the tariff
commission and requiring Con-
gressional approval for every
agreement.
Conceding approval of the bill,
Representative Treadway (R) Of
Massachusetts said:
II suppose the Democrats
will crack the whip.
"ThiS is a pretty dictatOrial
administration. I am sure
many Democrats will hold their
noses as they vote for it. Many
of them will have to take back
words they uttered In the past"
The measure faces at least five
days debate.

man Doughton planned to throw

House Revision

Although Senate considera-
tion Of the pay cut and vet
erans' sections Of the inde-
pendent offices supply bill
was held up today by Senate
oratory, it appeared that a
compromise looking toward
final passage Of the measure
would be reached.
The conference report on the
bill was called up Immediately
after the Senate met by Senator
James p. Byrnes CD Of South
Carolina, who moved that the
Senate further insist on it's
Federal safaFy and veterans
amendments, and asked the
House for a conference.
Delayed by Speech
While other Senators were at
tempting to get the floor to pro-
pose compromises or oppose the
ByrneS' motion, Senator Daniel
o. Hastings (R.) of Delaware,
obtained the floor and made a
lengthy political address, thereby
delaying consideration of the
motions.
Since the Senate has agreed
to go into executive session to
consider q nomination at 2 p. m,
It appeared likely that considera-
ton Of the conference request
may have to go over until to-
morrow.
Meanwhile, however, Senator
Pat McCarran CD of Nevada
who has championed the iberali-
zation movement, announced
that he is ready to yield to the
House "five and five" pay restor-
alton plan, and will move that
the Senate concur in that House
amendment.

AT the same time Senator
Frederick Steiwer (R0 of Oregon,

was understood to have agreed
to offer q motion to concur in

IN DISTRICT
Banks, Chain Stores Report
Wave of Counterfeit Bills
Passed on Clerks

Thousands Of dollars in
counterfeit money are flood
ing the District Of Columbia.
This statement was made
today by a W a s h i n g t o n
banker, who said his bank
has been receiving more of
the bogus currency in the
past few months than in the
whole past history Of the
bank. A check-up on other
banks, business houses, and
chain grocery stores also re-
vealed that counterfeiters
have dumped bad money here
in alarming proportions.
Victimized for $500
One chain grocery executive
stated his organization had re-
ceived approximately $500 in
counterfeit money in the past
few months; another would not
reveal the amount but said that
they have been getting more than
ever before.
Most of the chain stores here
recently issued orders to clerks
and managers to be on the look
out for the counterfeit money.
The Washington banker who
made the charge that thousands
of dollars in bad money are cir
culating here, said:
''This bank has received more
bad currency in the past few
months than ever before. It's
impossible, of course, to state
the exact amount of the bogus
currency in Washington but
am sure it is safe to say the
amount runs into the thou
