and to persons desiring such distilled

prohibition Is a wise cne. The act

strued to amend them in so far as the

the extent of any Inconsistencies be-

Second: Section SO of the act re-
quires the formula of rectified and

Of distilled spirits will be considered at
a public hearing to be held next Friday

Farley Lining Up Committee
With Many Changes in Vie,v
Office Holders Outside Limitations Set
by President in Reorganisaton-Old
and Ne,U Names Included.
(copyriSht. 1884, by the Associated Press)

(Copyright, 1894, by the Associated Press)
Postmaster General Farley, now
quietly engaged at the Presidents Or
der in reorganizing the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, today had before him
a committee list showing about a score
of members who hold either appointlve
or elective Office or have been practicing
law here.
Quietly the Democratic chairman has
been placing flguratlVe pencil mark
Gown the list, either approving or dis
approving all memberships. Eight va
cancies now exist on the committee,
some through designations. Other reSlg-
nations are expected.
Most of the committee members
holding public office. of course, are
checked almost automatically by Far
ley as far outside the limitations set by
Mr.. Roosevelt. Recently. however, the
President spoke against the practice of
committeeman having law Offices here.
1t appeared probable today that an
entire official lineup would be named
by Farley. showing many of the names
now on the committee, but also many
new ones.
Farley himself has indicated that
when he can be spared from the Ma
tional Committee he would like to de-
vote his entire time to his task as Post
master General.
Ball Started Rolling.
Long before the Roosevelt expression
of displeasure came, o. Max Gardner,
committeeman from North Carolina, re-
signed and started the ball rolling. He
told the President he felt he could not
retain his membership while conducting
law cases against the Government here.
The President wrote him a letter, ex-
pressing regret and adding:
Il know the motives which prompt
you and the reasons you have for TAX
ing this action. 1t is good to have
friends who are so actuated by high
principles"
When including even Senators and
Representatives, who by past practice
always have served on national party
committees, Democratic records show q
considerable list Of members holding
either Federal or State appointive or
elective Offices.
The following list shows also commit
teemen who have been practicing law
here, recent designations and also other
vacancies:
Arizona-Mrs. John c. Qsabella)
Greenway. member of the House of
Representatives.
California-William Gibbs McAdoo

DEMOCRAT SCORES
BOARD SELECTIONS
0ffutt and Cans Appointments
Called Coup de Grace to
Party in District.

Appointment Of George W. Offutt and
Isaac Cans TO the District Alcohol
Control Board was characterized as the
coup de grace to local Democracy" to-
day by Conway w. Cook. chairman Of
the Democratic Auxiliary Committee Of
the District Of Columbia
His statement said:
The naming Of Mr.. Offutt and Mr.
Cans to the District Alcohol Control
Board is obviously the coup de grace
to local Democracy.
These people, personally. are very
estimable but. to those who have car
ried the Roosevelt banner since Sep
tember. 1881; to those who have been
regular Democrats and followed the
leadership of the official head Of the
party in the District Of Columbia, John
F. Costello and to those who worked
night and day during the campaign, 1t
strikes a chill to their hearts and party
loyalty to see their efforts ignored
Now the way the new deal is going
here it appears that one certain way to
obtain political oblivion is to earn and
merit political recognition both by party
regularity and active efforts to promote
the party's interests

ing next time Of notes Of 10 months, Of
close to 3 per cent or thereaboutS,
not finally decided until q few days be-
fore the Government Is ready to offer
its bonds for sale, as market conditions
at the moment Of offering have every
thing to do with the rate of interest
that has to be paid.
The general indications, however, may
be said to be favorable for q fiotation
that will take care slowly of the S6,-
600 900 900 Of new money needed The
issue Of last December required only
$3.50, 100000 Of new money, but this
time $500 900 900 was asked for and has
been obtained on the longer term notes.
So progress is being made in gradu.
ally lenghtening the time Of maturity.
Naturally the Treasury will have TO
DO constant refunding and refinancing
to meet current obligations, as for In
stance $500,000,000 Of what has been
offered this very week will mature
September IS next. These refunding or
ref1nancing operations have been going
on for several years and constitute Q
current measure OF what the investment
public thinks Of the stability of the
Government and its financial policy.
At the moment 1t means, Of course,
that Uncle Sam cannot borrow for
longer than 1872 months without pay
ing q very high interest rate. This u
due to the uncertainty over monetary
reform and stabilization. With the gold
bill Enacted upon as yet by the Senate.
it is too much to expect any Offering
for longer than about year or there
abouts from the Treasury. Banks and
insurance companies and other big in
vestors are not willing to buy industrial
bonds or take risks with their money,
but they feel that for one year at least
a Government bond is as good as cash
and that they can afford to risk the
ultimate diminution in purchasing
power.
Spending Is Question.
Whether the institutions which buy
Government bonds will continue to feel
this way and whether the future issues
will go as we'll with the public as those
foated this week depends in no small
measure upon how the spending pro-
gram of the Government proceeds.
There still is feeling that expenditures
will never be permitted by public
opinion and the President to get too
far out Of line to assure repayment out
of taxes and miscellaneous revenues.
On that assumption, the investing pub
lie is still betting that Uncle Sam will
work his way out of the financial
dilemma which the depression has
forced upon us.

V|NSON NAVY BILL
| GIVEN PREFERENCE
Three Hours Debate Allowed
and Measure Will Be Open
to Amendment.

The House Rules Committee today
gave legislative preference to the VIM
son treaty Navy bill with the under
standing that it be brought up on the
floor tomorrow or Tuesday.
Three hours of debate will be allowed
and the bill will be open to amendment.
It will be considered tomorrow, leaders
said, If the pending Treasury Post
Once appropriation bill Is disposed OF
by then II not, it will be taken up
Tuesday
The Rules Committee took this action
as the Navy disclosed to the Naval
Affairs Committee its intention to ask
500 new airplaneS to man ships now
under construction.
Planes Immediate Need.
Admiral William H. Standley, chief Of
naval operations, arguing that airplanes
now are just as necessary to warships
as guns or ammunition, said the pres
ent law, limiting naval aviation strength
to 1000 airplanes would have to be
increased to 1850 to take care Of i'm
mediate" needs.
Eventually naval officers added. the
fleet will require a total of 2,100 air
planes to man all vessels in a fleet built
UP to treaty limits.

ment and referred to the budget direc-
tor for his and the Presidents sane
ton.
Before the Rules Committee ap-
proved the Vinson bill, which would
permit replacement of oyer-age ships
to keep the feet up to treaty limits
Chairman Vinson of the Naval Affairs
Committee testified it had been ap-
proved by the Navy, the Budget Bu-
reau and the administration.
L. S. 102 Vessels Short.
He added that at present. including
"a ships being built with public works
funds, the United States feet was l02
vessels short Of treaty strength, Great
Britain 68 and Japan 1900 tons over
the limit. Japan's 17,000-ton excess,
he added, would not be removed until
the London treaty expires on December
81. 1886
The air program which Standley
discussed would provide for the acqui-
sition of the $50 new planes in five
years.
