There is no reason to. suppose that the legislature of 1895 intend- ed, in enacting the liquor law, that taverns and package stores already in business should be obliged to close their doors for period when the new law became effective.
 That the law seemed, in the minds of the state liquor commis- sion, to create such a condition was due to legislative inefficiency rather than legislative intent. Judge McEvoy, in refusing to dis solve the Norwich tavern keepers injunction against the liquor board, does not make that comment, but his decision supports the view. In addition to placing the courts pro- lection around the tavern keepers, Judge EcEvoy also enjoined the liquor commission against proceed ling against package stores to com pei them to close until permits under the new law can be granted.

Selected Poem
LAST HARVEST.

Leslie Nelson Jennings in the New York Sun. On slopes too rough for moving The ragged legions mass, Their tattered banners blowing Bindweed and meadow grass. With hoe and scythe and harrow We stand embattled still Against the dock and yarrow And fight with right good will. But years go swiftly over
 And fields that once could boast Of timothy and clover
 Let in a conquering host. For all her brave defenders,
 For all our labor done, How gladly earth surrenders To wind and rain and suni Not ours the happy sowing,
 Not ours the seeds that spring On slopes too rough for moving, Too steep for harvestlngi

By MRS. MARY MAHNKEY

have promised to write a little column about Manhattan, just as would write it for the county paper, of which I have been a cor respondent for A years.
 We'll, I don't know just where to begin. So many things have hap pened to me in the few days I have been in New York that 1t seems as if they would fill a book instead of a column.
 The big city has not been a dis appointment to me. It is all any, body ever said about 1t, and more. And the people are just as friendly as anybody you would meet along the White River roads of my part of the country.
 One thing I like about city folks is that they all seem to have come from the country. About the only native New Yorker I have met is Mir. Al Smith, and he motored in from 60 miles out in the Long Isl- and hills to see me.
 Itemizing Experiences.
 I suppose that what made me feel most at home in New York was the big crowd of newspaper reporters that surrounded me most of the time. After all, am one myself. And I have been in the business longer than any of the young folks that came to see me from the New York dailies.
 They asked me a lot of questions. But I asked them some, too. l found out many things from them, things that will make good items for my column in the Forsyth re- publican.
 Some of the things they all wanted to know was how l wrote my news, how I got my items, how thought out my little verses. l told them that after A years of writing for the paper I could sum up my ideas in few words to tell the truth kindly, to remember that mankind's chief interest is man, and to read over my copy and scratch out most of the ad- jectives. As for my poetry, really can't tell how I do it-it just comes to me so mysteriously that I have become quite rever- en and solemn about it.
 New Workers seem to be like the folks back home in one re- spect-they seem to be surprised and amazed at my winning this prize. Some of them can't under stand how a woman should have won the prize, when there were so many men writers trying for it. But out our way women do everything. My banker, who ac- companied me on my trip east, is a woman-Mrs. Ella McHaffie. The taxicab that took me to the Missouri Pacific railroad station when I left home was driven by a woman, who owns it and runs 1t as well as any man could do. Easten With Curiosity.
 The things I have wanted to see in New York I had no difficulty in finding, because I had a fine lot of young men and women reporters to help me. The cathedral, for instance; and Sherman's statute. which I wanted % see because my father served under Sherman in the civil war; and the water front and the big ships.
 wonder when am going to set caught up on my sleep. l did not sleep very well on the train. for 1t was my first experience with Q Pullman. Then I got to New York, and I guess my room on the ninth floor of . big New York hotel was too high for me. Any way. I didn't get what you would call c sound sleep.

the trade, the spot basis ruled very
firm, with mills showing no

several instances that mills are

a result Of the present low prices
offered them for goods.

FOES OF BIG ARMY
FIGHT FUNDS USE
Senator King Says Any Of P. W.
A. Expenditures Can Be
Prevented.

BY the Associated Press.
A swell Of opposition to increased
military expenditures is developing in
the Senate to dash against the big
Army sentiment that put across the
$4oo. 100000 War Department appro-
priation bill.
I'VE can defeat any plan to use p.
w. A. funds for military purposes, !"
said Senator King, Democrat, Of
Utah. THAT would be an outrage in
view Of. the enormous appropriations
already made for the Army and the
Navy, and more contemplated"
Reminded that Senator Borah in
troduced an amendment to the relief
bill barring use Of any Of the pro-
posed $4,880 ,000, 900 for military pur-
poses. King declared:
II will fight for that"
Similar support for legislation TO
shut the Army and Navy out Of the
p. w. A. Golfers was voiced by Senator
Pope. Democrat, Of Idaho.
Certainly there will be legislation
to prevent military profiteering out Of
public works funds" Pope said.

court buildings in Judiciary Square
the District property on Pennsylvania
avenue between Third and Sixth
streets could be disposed of to the
Federal Government for future new
buildings, such as new General Ac-
counting ofice. The question of fu-
ture use of the original Municipal
Center site is not dealt with, however,
in the pending bill.
It developed at the hearing that
the Commissioners have in mind three
court buildings in Judiciary Square,
one for Police Court, one for Munich
pal Court and third building large
enough to house Juvenile Court and
the recorder of deeds Office Engi-
neer Commissioner Dan I. Sultan said
the three buildings would cost ap-
proXimately 100000.
Chairman King inquired whether
the people of the District would be
willing to meet the cost of proceed
ing with the court buildings If it de-
velops a P. w. A. loan cannot be OBJ
tanned.
I'VE are willing to meet the cost,
but not all in one year." Mr.. Yaden
replied. 1--WE would want to discuss
further with you the question of the
terms.
Attorney John E. Laskey, support
ing the bill on behalf of the District
Bar Association, agreed with Mr.. va
den, but also stressed the point that
the cost should not have to be met
all at one time.

ACTION SCHEDULED
ON TREASURY PAY.
Committee Meets Tomor-
row to Consider Compro.
mise on McKeIIar Rider.

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee will meet tomorrow morning
to act on the Treasury-Post ONCE
supply bill, to which subcommittee
has attached a compromise plan for
paying the 1900 Treasury employees
who have been performing their duties
without pay since December l, due
to a restriction placed on current ap-
propriations.
Under the compromise, all CT the
employees will receive the money due
them, but after May IS between 400
and 500 of them would be dropped
from the service. The Mcclellan rider
of last year was originally intended
to affect about 720 employees OF the
abolished Prohibition Bureau who
were later re-employed by the Treas
ury to enforce the new liquor laws.
These employees will get their pay Tor
the past three months and for the
future. As to the 720 around whom
the dispute started, all will be paid
until May IS, after which only those
who passed the new examination
would be eligible to continue on the
pay roll, if the compromise IS adopted.
A new and separate personnel prob
lem was brought to the attention OF
the subcommittee yesterday by Sen
ator Dickinson, Republican, of Iowa.
It was an amendment to have the
salary classification act reapplied to
several hundred employees OF the In
solvent bank division. The informa-
ton laid before the subcommittee was
to the effect that one of the recent
banking laws contained a provision
which placed these employees outside
the classification act. The committee
will pass on this question before re-
porting the bill tomorrow.

DAvEY PUSHES FIGHT
ON FEDERAL RELIEF
Ohio Governor Carries Plea to
People, Charging Autocratic
Control of Funds.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March Gov.
Martin L. Davey tonight carried his
relief administration controversy with
the Federal Government direct to the
people Of Ohio.
In a broadcast he charged that
"autocratic Federal control" Of relief
administration in the State extends
even to the expenditure of money fur
nished by the State Of Ohio"
The executive, maintaining the
State had no Jurisdiction whatever
over relief matters, said all rules for
relief "are made by theorists in WASH
ington and other theorists in Colum-
bus who are the agents of the Fed
eral Government"
Concerning Federal Relief Admin
iStrator Harry L. Hopkins, Davey said:
III he will be courageous enough and
fair enough to eliminate the inexcus-
able waste and inefflciency in the
Ohio relief program, the people of
this State will be willing to dig down
into their thnly lined pockets and
contribute their share, through new
taxes, If necessary, TO maintain a
busineSSlke, economical and humane
relief program"
Referring to his request that the
Federal Government take over the
relief set-up in the State, Davey said:
II insist that they must assume public
sponsibility."
