BY tho Associated PRESS.
In a sharp criticism of post-repeal
conditions, Bishop James Cannon, jr,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, said today multiplied thou
sands now realize they were deceived
and betrayed as to the results Of re-
peal by the leaders of both political
parties"
The clergyman in a formal state
ment, declared the saloon had re-
turned, despite party promises that
It would no.; that all great Protestant
bodies were calling for aggressive
action against existing conditions, and
that the Roman Catholic Church
.'has presented ard probably will con-
tinue 10 present a well-nigh sond
front against prohibition"
Now that The unthinking, reckless
deceptive craze for repeal has spent
its force" Bishop Cannon said. the
kpeople are discovering the Wreckase
(which has been wrought.
Opposition to Saloon.
I "The leaders of both political parties
declared most positively their opposi-
,tion to the return of the saloon i'll any
keuise and also fer protection OF dry
TERRITORY.
The President Of the United States,
Jas late as December 80, 1888, appealed
Publicly to the Democratic leader of
1.-THE State of Missouri TO defeat leglsla-
u-birb NpnIlld DfrlO)lt the return of
tthe saloon.
But within 30 days the President
himself signed the bill which brought
tback the saloons to the District OF
columbia. over which legislation he
ihad absolute veto power.
! Notwithstanding, therefore, all the
pledges which were made that the sa-
Eloon should not return, the saloon has
.returntd. not only with its former evil
Accomplishments, out with the addl-
stion of barmaids and with indiscrimi-
snate patronage by women.
4 The results have been an lnprece-
bdented increase in drunkenness of
srnen. and an outs -anding fact is the
fstartling increase i'll accidents from
fdrunken automobile drivers.
I No Note Of Retreat.
| The churchman then asserted that
tfacing these distressing facts, all the
igreat Protestant bodies which have
imet within the past 60 days have
Iadopted resolutions which contain no
bnote of retreat. surrender or compro-
fmise, but which express renewed,
iSweeping and unCompromising con-
Edemnation of the liquor traffic and de-

! Among these actions, the bishop
flisted resolutions adopted by the Gen
seral Conference of the Methodist
Church. the Board of Bishops of that
tchurch. the General Assembly of the
presbyterian Church, the Northern
land Southern Baptist Conventions and
1.-THE General Assembly OF the United

! Up to the present time, Bishop Can
Enon then added, he had seen no
kstatement from the Catholic press or
lfrom any of the hierarchy condemning
the conditions resulting from repeal
or calling for any restrictive legisla-

D. c. LIQUOR BILL
TO GET OK. TODAY
President Announces He Will
Sign Measure as Soon as
He Can Get to 1t.

President Roosevelt expects to sign
the District liquor control bill some
time today.
AS he made this known at his BIZ
weekly press conference this morning
he pointed to the liquor bill reposing
on his desk. He said he had not yet
had time to get to it inasmuch as it had
just come back from the Treasury De-
partment, where it was reviewed fol-
lowing a study Of it made by the Justice
Department and the Federal Alcohol
Control Board.
When Mr.. Roosevelt attaches his
signature. he will do so without cere-
mony. 1t is known that several men,
bers of Congress who have been in
strumental in getting the bill enacted
have expressed a desire to be on hand
to witness the signing and if possible
to obtain pens used by the President,
but Mr.. Roosevelt made it plain he will
dispose of the matter without any such
incident.
The bill requires liquor applications
to be displayed and advertised for two
weeks, which makes it doubtful II the
legalized sale will actually start In the
District within three weeks.
Regulations Delayed.
The Commissioners as yet have not
announced their selection OF the three
members of the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board, but it became known yester-
day that the board will consist OF
George w. Ofutt, lawyer and banker:
a former president of the Board OF
Trade; Mrs William Beverly Mason,
wife of a Washington physician, who
was active in the Women's Organization
for National Prohibition Reform, and
Isaac Cans, now chairman Of the Dis
trict Board of Indeterminate Sentence
and Parole, a veteran District civic
leader
1t was reported today that Offutt
would be designated chairman of the
board and would be appointed for a
term of four years. Mrs. Mason Is to
be named to term of three years, and
Cans for term of two years.
The Commissioners have given tenta-
tive approval to series Of regulations
governing the licensing of liquor estab-
lishmentS and their operation and these
will be promulgated shortly after the
liquor measure becomes law. Until
then, however, the regulations are not
to be made public officially.

them the question of the appointments

issue-one Of ssOOoOO,Ooo in 2l4 one

The two issues just announced are
beth dated January 29 One is for

2i2 per cent interest and maturing
March Is, 1885. The other Is for $780,

Simultaneous with announcement OF
the new issues. the Treasury made
available a statement showing s1,2l5,-
545,550 had been collected as internal
revenue for the first half Of the 1884
fiscal year, an increase of nearly a
billion dollars over returns for
the first half of the previous year.

Largely accounting for the increase
were S140, ,563, 900 in agricultural process

peal; and increase of S98,905,000 in

totaled S94,817,000.
There was speculation today that the
Treasury would come forward with new
issues shortly after enactment Of the
Presidents dollar revaluation bill, with
its stabilizing fund provisions.
Not only must the Government bor-
row $4,000, 900, 900 for recovery expendi-

by lle Associated fTeSS.
The appropriation BILL carrying
1924, ,747,000 for the Navy next fiscal
year, was passed today by the House
and sent to the Senate
Although the measure appropriates
$33 33619,334 for ship construction to
bring the fleet up to treaty limits, it
does not provide for the replacement
of ships which now are or will be over
useful age when the London treaty
expires December 81. 1886.
There was no roll-call vote on pass
age of the bill
Earlier the House Naval Committee
had abandoned plans to seek enact
ment of the Vinson bill as an amend
ment to the regular supply bill for the
Navy Department. The Vinson bill
would provide for construction pro-
gram to bring the Navy to treaty limits.
Chairman Vinson told the House he
will ask the Rules Committee to give
legislative right of way to his bill, which
is approved by the administration. SO it
soon may be brought up for passage.
He made that statement just before
the House approved section Of the
pending appropriation bill allowing $33,-
$4,000 for construction necessary to
bring the fleet toward treaty strength.
This section would permit construc-
ton to begin in the next fiscal year
after July lon one l0,000-ton. 8-inch
gun and three 10000-ton, 6-inch gun
cruisers. 1t would not. however. per-
NIT replacement of the 10l other vessels
which will be over the age considered
satisfactory when the London Treaty
expires on December 81, 1886.
The Vinson bill would authorize those
requirements, which the Navy estimates
would cost about S76,000,000 year for
five years, enabling the fleet to be up
to treaty strength in modern ships by
1910 or 1941.
A single objection could have kept
Vinson from offering his bill as an
amendment to the pending appropria-
ton measure 1t was understood that
he had heard a member or two would
object despite administration approval

the gold was destined for the New York
Federal Reserve Bank, but officials of
that institution declined to comment
and referred inquiries to the Treasury
in Washington.

A strange feature Of the conversation
that took place Just before Wolfert's
death was that, despite its tragic por-

Mrs. Princes testimony most formally.
Parts of her testimony were:
He said, Mrs. Prince, I'll kill you,
and said, Mr. Wolfert, how could you
be SO cruel?'
He grabbed me and kissed me, and
said, Get away you rat. Your kisses
are poison
HE picked up a rock and said, I
could smash your brains out, Mrs.
Prince, with this rock I said, If I
had any brains wouldn't be here"
She said Wolfert grabbed me and
threw me around" and that he then
wrote the permission to kill card. AS
she opened her handbag to put the card
away she saw the knife and drew it out
That knife won't stop me-" she tes-
titled Wolfert said as he grabbed her
Il stabbed him with the knife" she
added. Il stabbed him again and

Two hours later she walked into a
