0., SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1913-TWENTY PAGES. ONE CENT. FIGHT IS STARTED AGAINST COLPOYS Anti-Szfloon League Protests Selection as Excise Commissioner. OPPOSED THE PASSAGE OF JONES-WORKS BILL Democratic Senators Declared to Be Against the Labor Man. An'acttve tight against the confirmation of John B.

Colpoys, named yesterday by President Wilson as one of the three excise board members, is to be made by the District Anti-Saloon and by Senator Jones, according to Indications today. The fight is to be made on the basis of Mr. Colpoys' attitude when the Jones-Works excise law was pending in Congress. No decision regarding the attitude to be adopted regarding the nominations of Frank B. and Robert G.

Smith has been reaohed by the league. Senato- Jones of Washington, co-author with Senator Works of California of the new excise law for the District effective July 1, let it be known today that he will oppose with all his power the confirmation of the nomination of Mr. Colpoys. It is expected that Senator Works will make a fight against the confirmation of Mr. Colpoys also, though the California senator is out of the city today, and not expected to return until next week.

Opposed the Measure. The opposition to Mr. Colpoys on the part of Senator Jones is due to the fact that Mr. Colpoys appeared before the subcommittee of the Senate District committee when the Jones-Works excise bill was under consideration, and spoke in opposition to the measure. Senator Jones does not believe that a man who is known to have opposed the enactment of the new law should be appointeed to enforce that law.

"I do not believe that President Wilson would have made the appointment had he understood the situation," said Senator Jones. "I have nothing against Mr. Colpoys personally, but I do not believe it wise to appoint a man to enforce a law in which he does not be- lieve." Andrew Wilson, president of the AntiSaloon League of the District of Columbia. railed upon Senator Jones today to state his protest and that of the league against the appointment of Mr. Colpoys.

Others Against Colpoys. It is known that a number of the democratic senators are strongly opposed also to the confirmation of Mr. Colpoys as a member of the txcise beard. They were strongly In favor of the measure when it before the Senate. Several of them have called upon their republican colleagues and have stated that they were utterly opposed to having Mr.

Colpoys made a member of the excise board. It was intimated today that there might be fight made also against the confirmation of Mr. Smith as a member of the excise board. Senator Jones said today that he recalled vividly the testimony given by Mr. Colpoys before the subcommittee the excise measure was up for consideration, and that to refresh his memory he hart read the Colpoys testimony over yesterday afternoon.

Arguments Against Bill. In his testimony Colpoys, who appeared as secretary of the Central i.abor Union, said, in part: "There are some features of this bill which If enacted into law will react the people we are representing, the laboring people. One of those features would be the concentration of licenses in any particular district. "It would mean this; that the class of people that we represent, whom I can safely say are the most temperate people. or the most temperate class in Washington: temperate in -o far as drinking is concerned, and temperate in almost all habits.

They work steadily. When they go to their homes in the evening they feel that perhaps a glas- of beer, or any-; thing strongt if they feel that way.1 will do them good. They know how to take it. They feel that it ill do tlwm good after a hard dav's labor. It' yo i going to concentrate the man has got to leave his home and go riuite a distance to git thai going to in the saloon and not home, because when he is there he says: Well, if I back home again it taking a journey, and 1 as well stay here! on are going t'? encourage the men to leave their homes, rather than to keep them at homv Discusses Growler.

"Tou a great deal about the growler trade The growler trade is this, that instead of people drinking In saloons that are so objectionable to many people thai have apeared before this committee they to the saloon and growler or pitcher. or whatever it be, they it to homes and drink it there There are very few people, no matter how low they are, ho want to desecrate th? ir hom? s. They do not do it. arid the dr.nkhig of a of beer before their children does not do it, neither does it encourage their children to grow up to be drunkards. on he other hand, the drinking of a glas-- of beer in a temperate manner before children sets them an example of temperance that will be more lasting on their memories than any lesson they might learn from impracticable theorists.

"Senator Joins asks us if we have taken any specific a- tioti on this specific resolution.

"We feel, as has been told you bythree representatives, that the present law, if enforced let it be rigidly enforced correct some of the abuses that perhaps do exist. There has no law been made yet but there have been violations of it. and fh? mcr? placing of a restricted number of licenses is not going to restrict drunkenness. You will have more of It thai! of it. because, as said, people will go to that place where they are restricted, and they will stay there longer than they otherwise would if they knew they could go a short distance to get what they wanted to drink.

Andrew Wilson, president of 'he trlct Anti-Saloon League said: "I have not talked with nil the officers of the league, but I feel safe In waving that we will enter a most vigorous protest against the confirmation of Mr. said Mr. Wilson this morning. "His testimony, as given in pages to IBS of the printed reports of the Senate committee hearing shows his attitude toward this law." Members of the headquarters committee of the District Anti-Saloon League met this afternoon In Mr.

Wilson's ofl-ces to consider all three of the President's nominations for the excise hoard and determine on a course of tion. The nomination of Mr. Colpoys received particular attention. i "Our position," said Mr. Wilson, "is merely that we want men who will administer the law fairly and impartially- We want no advantage.

But I do not see how a man who opposed a law as vigorously as did Mr. Colpoys in this case can be impartial. "His arguments against this law when it was pending were as strong if not stronger than any others given." Their Attitude Not Known. Mr. Wilson said he knew Mr.

Lord only slightly, and that he knew nothing of the attitude of either Mr. Smith or Mr. Lord on the saloon question. So far as could be learned in other circles there was no disposition to opi pose Mr. Lord, but there were several that Mr.

Smith might be opposed in some quarters. The appointments already have received the hearty Indorsement of leaders of the Federation of Liquor and of John Costello, national democratic committeeman from the District, who recommended the pomtment of Mr. Colpoys and Mr. Lord to the President. William D.

Barry, president of the I Federation of Liquor Dealers, and A. Duffy, financial secretary of the Retail Liquor Association have said that they thought the new hoard fair and honest, and that they were satisfied. Both said they thought there would be no opposition from any of the liquor dealers. Definite Course Not Decided. Following the meeting of the headquarters committee of the District AntiSaloon League this afternoon Mr.

Wilson said that no definite course of action hau been decided upon, but that the members felt that Mr. Colpoys should not have been appointed "We feel that President Wilson should he asked to withdraw Mr. Colpovs' nomination. and that the people of Washington ought to help us to bring this about, said Mr. Wilson.

"I do not know yet. however, what action will be taken MEN TO SENATE Protest Filed Alleging He Is Ineligible to Be District Commissioner. Protesting against the confirmation of Oliver P. Newman as District Commissioner on the ground that he has not been a bona fide resident of the District for three years, as required by law, a group of democratic taxpayers today filed an appeal with the Senate District committee to grant a public hearing before taking any action on Mr. Newman nomination by the President.

At the same time announcement was made that a mass meeting of taxpayers will be held Monday night at the Old Masonic Temple to consider the nomination of Mr. Newman. W.

Mr. Neale stated today that the protest was not being made on the score of politics, and that he was not taking part in it as a democrat. It is entirely a citizens and taxpayers' movement, he declared.

"Tiie question is whether the are to allow a nontaxpiytr. a man who is practically a st i anger to the great majority of the people, an.I who is technically unqualified hold the position, to become one the i.iree District 'ominissioners, said Mr. Neale. Mr. Neale stated that he and his fel; low-petitioners were ready to tight the appointment in the courts if necessary.

Union Pacific Railway Company and Attorney General Reach Agreement.

SCHEME IS IN HARMONY WITH PRESIDENT'S VIEW Provides for Exchange and Sale of $126,000,000 of Southern Pacific Stock. Attorney General McRevnoIds and representatives of the Union Pacific, it was definitely learned today, have reached an agreement for the dissolution of the great Harriman merger. The principles of the plan are in harmony with the views of President Wilson, and he is expected to approve. It will be submitted to the judges of the United States court for the eighth circuit. The plan will go to the court with the government's approval, qualified only by a request that the judges give a limited time before entering a final decree, during which the government may possibly make objections which cannot now be foreseen.

Attorney General McKeynolds does not expect to go to St. Paul, but will send G. Carroll Todd, special assistant, who has been associated in the negotiations. Not Ready to Discuss Details. Attorney General McKeynolds today said he was not ready to discuss the situation or details.

It is understood, however, that the plan will provide for exchanging of Southern Pacific stock held by the Union Pacific for Pennsylvania's interest in the Baltimore and Ohio, and the sale of the remaining of Southern Pacific through the medium of a trust company under such safeguards as will end control of the Southern Pacific by either the Union Pacific or its shareholders. Officials today declared that President Wilson and Attorney General McKeynolds had been in perfect accord all along to reach an agreement for the dissolution previded a plan could be evolved that would meet the d. of the Sherman law. it was declared that while there had never been any tendency to place obstacles in the way of an agreement, the administration had insisted upon an adequate dissolution." Takes Time to Consider. The plan evolved, it is believed, will accomplish it, but the government takes the precaution of asking for a limited time within which to make objections, so that in case public discussion of the proposition and further study by officials shows any weaknesses the hands of the administration will not be tied.

As the plan of dissolution does not provide for the separation of the Southern and Central Pacific, officials of the department of Justice today reiterated that Attorney General McReynolds later on would bring a civil anti-trust suit under the Sherman law to accomplish that result. Court Asked to Sit Monday. An effort now is being made to have the judges of the United States court for the eighth circuit, who sit as a district court in the case, to assemble in St. Paul Monday. The details of the plan will not be made public out of respect to the court, it is said, until the plan is presented.
