TERSE SUMMARIZATION OF 10 YEARS OF PROHIBITION FOR DRINKING BOY KILLS SELF Freshman of 14 Had From Home WASHINGTON, Jan 16 (A. In the House today Representative Oliver, Democrat, New York, summarized 10 years of prohibition as follows: The Government has succeeded in driving liquor all the way from the bar to the boudoir; from the saloon to the salon; from hops to hips; from the keg to the kitchen; from the loud speaker to the speak SEEK SISTERS STILL IN TEENS AS RUM-RUNNERS Suspended from High School for school building, Eugene Clothier, 14 night. of the Corinth High School said ho boy drinking home-made wine in suspended Clothier when investigation to school. bed in his home on Saratoga av this rifle beside him and a bullet to the caliber of the rifle.

Conflicts Law of Nature "The failure of prohibition is inherent In its principle, and is not due to faulty metnods of enlorcement. So long as the American people refuse to recognize the act of drinking as evidence of a moral guilt, prohibition will be a failure. What Is fundamentally wrong with our prohibition laws is the fact that they are in conflict with the laws of nature. "There is no fruit containing sugar Which does not also contain the fermentation spore. The Juice of such fruits has within itself the media for oxidizing the sugar and thereby converting it into alcohol.

Nature has placed the limit upon the alcohol which can be produced In this way, limiting it to 14 percent, by causing the fermentation spore to vanish as soon as 14 percent of alcohol has been produced In the fermented fruit juice. The resulting beverage Is agreeable to the taste and beneficial to the human race when used temperately. "A law preventing fermented beverages of 14 percent or less alcoholic content conflicts with the laws of nature, and Is in the same category as a law seeking to regulate the time of the rising and setting of the sun. "Unbearable System of Espionage" Mr Schafer declared that prohibition has subjected Americans to an unbearable system of espionage, "unequaled under the tyranny of the British King before the Revolution," and denounced what he declared was a recommendation made by Dr Clarence True Wilson to alter the Fourth Amendment to facilitate the search of suspected houses. The speaker asserted that "the citadel of prohibition Is below the Mason-Dixon line where the disreputable Ku Klux Klan and the Anti-Saloon League forces reign supreme.

The question in New England would seem to not only involve maintenance of Constitutional obligation, but the economic position of this part of the country which Is 60 intimately dependent on the maintenance of advanced industrial activity. If we find that New England is dependent on the maintenance and betterment of her living standards in proportion as her industry is efficient, then we must not ignore thp' principal factor involved in maintaining that efficiency, namely, the necessity of minimizing the consumption of alcoholic liquor.

Cherrington, director of the Department of Education, Publicity and Research, In aa address before the 24th biennial national convention of the league. "The Antisaloon League was created for a definite purpose," Dr Cherrington said.

"That purpose is the extermination of the beverage alcohol traffic. "We stand today, he said, "for the realization of the announced program of the President of the United States, who, more than any other Chief Executive of the Nation, has definitely committed himself and his administration to the task of securing enforcement of prohibition. We stand for adequate appropriations to meet the demand for making the 18th Amendment fully effective." Dr Cherrington said that while the League does not espouse the cause of any specific political party, It is its definite policy to use its strength "in effort to prevent the election or appointment bf officials whose records and attitudes do not Insure a sympathetic and aggressive policy toward prohibition enforcement. "The fortunes of prohibition and those of social reformers are one, Dr Cherrington stated, adding that "the major task of the League Is to get the truth to the people, with special emphasis to those of the oncoming generations "who never knew at first hand the beverage liquor traffic of preprohibition days.

I gasped in amazement. In fact, I believe I was actually frightened. My eyes found their way to the floor and I saw a tiny green pea lying my foot.

CHIMES OF A SPRINGFIELD CHURCH R'NG OUT TODAY SPRINGFIELD, Jan 16 (A. 10th anniversary of prohibitions ad' vent today was celebrated by the ringing of bells in a number of Protestant churches at noon.

All of the public buijdings displayed Sags, but tbls is done every day, and it was hard to determine If there was any special significance attached to the action today. The somd of the ringing bells was a puzzife to many who did not understand what it all meant, and policemen were being constantly asked to explain ID said the courts havo already sus talned the amendment. Dr Doran Is blue-eyed, speaks with a peculiar twang. He was frank In dealing with the er9 except on political queetlons, which as a holder of Federal office he would not discuss. After a few hours in Boston, he goes this afternoon to Detroit for a meeting of the Antis-loon League.

"Thats pretty near the border, a reporter suggested. "The Antisaloon League picked the 1. cation; didnt," said Dr Doran. Gen Edwards Cheered i The audience came to Its feet with a roar of welcome as the former leader of the Yankee Division stepped forward. "I am, he said, "sincerely opposed to the 18th amendment and to the Volstead act.

This is not the- first occasion at which 1 have expressed my opposition. It is, however, a fitting moment to repeat that statement and perhaps add a line or two as well. "We are gathered here, not in a joyful and Jubilant qaood, said Gen Edwards. "We do not recognize the regime of recklessness and ruin ol a decade of prohibition as one that calls for a jubilee and jollification. The loss of over 1500 human lives and the destruction of thousands of dolars worth of private property that have attended the enforcement of thi3 law demand the most serioua consideration and reflection of all thoughtful and decent citizens.

The wanton disregard for and disastrous deprivation of the inherent and sacred rights of you and me as citizens of this great Republic must not be ignored any longer. After declaring his views were "free from the prejudice of any sinister influence, the General praised the temperate conduct of members of the Yankee Division on their recent pilgrimage to Europe. He referred to a beverage list handed him In a dining car upon his return, which contained mineral waters and a well-known headache remedy as "Americas offering to her manhood." Praises Canadas System While stationed at Panama, Gen Edwards said he established an enlisted mens club, where light wines were served. "What had been a veritable hell was transformed into a community of sober. Industrious men, he said.

He praised Government control of liquor In Canada and Sweden and said it would require annual appropriations of 3500,000,000 and a force greater than the present army and navy to enforce prohibition in this country. He said he opposed the suggested placing of 10,000 armed men along the hitherto unguarded Canadian border. "Are we to lose" the friendship and cooperation of those splendid citizens of the Provinces and receive In exchange their enmity, their suspicion and their hostility? he asked. Referring to the subject of equal opportunity for all, he said: I am impressed with the evidence of increasing graft and opportunities for Illegal and illicit wealth during these days of prohibition. The riches of the underworld so flagrantly flaunted before us in our large cities, and the retirement of law enforcement officials In possession of enormous fortunes, can do nothing but break down the morale of our hard-working, industrious citizens.

"Law Nonenforceable" "How can we talk seriously about the rewards of honest labor when on all sides we are encountered with examples of individuals and groups of individuals who have gained a material affluence only rivaled by that of the monarchs of old, wholly and solely by means of violating a law that is absolutely nonenforceable? The time has surely come for America to stop this flow of criminal profiteering, and to use every means possible to remove this cancerous disease that Is slowly and surely gnawing away at the very vitals. Referring to the State Enforcement act, he said "Get rid of that useless, unnecessary and ineffective piece of legislation. In doing so you will serve notice that Massachusetts stands convinced that prohibition Is a failure and that some immediate remedy must be obtained to eliminate the entire prohibitory structure. Governmental regulation strikes one as the most effective remedy we can work for. Let us enjoy laws that are promulgated by ballots and not enforced by bullets.

Crowd Outside Hall When Gen Edwards concluded his speech there was a burst of applause, and again the audience rose. Meantime a crowd of about 500 had gathered outside the hall to listen- to the speeches as they came over the amplifiers. John C. Schafer of Wisconsin then was introduced. He denounce4 prohibition and its results in the most vehement terms.

"Ten years of prohibition proves that the three stupendous outstanding peace-time problems ip the history -of our people are, first, oppression, which resulted in the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War; second, slavery, which resulted In the Civil War, and third, prohibition tyranny, which Is destroying our Institutions. "The bill of rights written by those brave free men who founded our republic has been torn asunder and cast to the four winds to satisfy the greed of that monstrous demon, prohibition. Rights guaranteed our people under the Constitution have been flaunted and ignored, such as the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and the right that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. "On this anniversary we find drunkenness rampant throughout the. country as It never was before, and we find that prohibition has created an Intemperate Nation instead of bringing sobriety as we were promised.

Enforcement Has Failed "Ten years has demonstrated that the enforcement of prohibition has failed, and It has; reached a stage of guerilla warfare. In a time of peace. In a peaceful Nation. It violates the rules of war among the civilized Nations of the world. Snuffing out the lives of law-abiding citizens from ambush, by enforcement officers, it parallels the atrocities of the most savage tribes.

"Official Police Department statistics which I have obtained from every State In the Union Indicate that arreyts for drunkenness and for driving vehicles while intoxicated have Increased 1- leaps and bounds since prohibition, far beyond the Increase in population and in numbers of passenger and motor truck automobiles. The prohibition ex- eriment has proven a plague to Amer-loa and her people and, after being for 10 years, has failed from an economic, moral and temperance standpoint. Later In his address he said: "Because of the actions of a few irresponsible Coast Guard members, do not condemn this arm of our Government and those sworn to uphold it. The heroio record of honorable achievements of the Coast Guard is now, and right of citizens, as in the bill providing for apportionment of Representatives in Congress after the completion of the coming census, which would absolutely nullify the provisions of the 14th amendment respecting the counting of the whole number of persons in each State excluding Indians not taxed. 1 "They advocated a nullification of this Constitutional provision In order ouaaenxy a smau group of men in to prevent an Increase of about 30 or 1 crowcl rushed the police and Dep-40 antiprohibition members of Congress Raymond Chase was pushed fprtrvi vna eManralls from the sidewalk Into the lighted 10 candles.

This was donated by Melrose women. Mrs Alice G. Ropes told about the cake. The candles, she said, symbolized "the 10 great benefits to the Nation that have attended prohibition. These are, she said, "no open saloons, less drunkenness, less vice, greater wealth, less poverty, happier homes, more homes, better children, better health, a better United States.

Then Mrs Ropes made reference to certain "plums within the case. Opening little trapdoor device In the side of the cake, she drew forth, om by one, these "plums, holding them aloft so all could see. These plums, which Mrs Ropes said are to be sent to the head of the Constitutional Liberty League, proven to be a copy of the Constitution of the United States, an American flag, a picture of President Hoover and the seal of the Commonwealth. Cambridge Womans Response A feature of the day was Mrs William Tiltons response to the local dry leaders asking her to become candidate for United States Senator In case no candidate appears satisfactory to the dry and law enforcement forces. She is a long-time dry worker.

Her residence is at 11 Mason st, Cambridge. Mrs Tilton said: "It is Incredible that the old Bay State has drifted so far from Us stater States In the Union not to be able to find in this great Commonwealth a candidate who will run In the Republican ranks on a Stand by Hoover platform, and in the Democratic ranks on a Stand by Women and Children, and Fight the 1 Return of the Saloon. "If the Republicans run a modifica-tlonist then they run a candidate 1 against Hoover and for the return of the saloon. If the Democrats run a candidate on Government control then they run a candidate practically In favor of the return of the saloon or its equivalent. "If Massachusetts cannot produce a candidate who can run against the return of the saloon then Is there no health In us, and God help the women and children of Massachusetts.

WANTED LICENSE TO SELL LIQUOR Mayor John J. Murphy of Somerville Is beginning to find that the job which he bolds in that city is not such a soft job after all, and that there are many unreasonable requests. A woman, evidently of foreign birth, came to the Mayor's office early this morning and asked to see the Mayor Miss Reta Bryan, confidential secretary to the Mayor, said It would be Impossible to see the Mayor for several hours, but that she would try to help the worqan. The woman said she must see no' one else but the Mayor, and would wait.

After waittng two hours the woman was finally taken into the private office of the Mayor. The woman said she had read In the paper that the Mayor had decided to grant a license for Sunday shows In Somerville, and had formed an opinion that he had the power to grant most any kind of a license. She said she had a large family to support and wanted to have a license to sell Intoxicating liquor at her home. Mayor Murphy was somewhat amused at the request and upon talking with the woman learned she knew nothing about the laws. When he explained the prohibition law, the woman thought it was very foolish.

He also Informed the woman that Capt Charles J. Sharry was In charge of the liquor squad which was for the purpose of preventing people from selling liquor. Following the interview, the Mayor decided it would be best to Inform Capt Sharry to keep watch on the womans house to sea that she did not sell any liquor.

Many of the throng were hit on the head and others received split scalps, being dragged away for treatment. Russak was pulled from his platform and dragged away to the police station.

Peter Hagelias, local organizer of the union, who was arrested In yesterdays melee and released on surety furnished by Beal, was again arrested today when he resisted the policemen. Beal Arrested He quickly was dragged away to the police station with Russak, and then Beal appeared, mounting a box about 25 yards away from where Russak had been talking, and started an harangue. Policemen quickly surrounded Beal and ordered him to stop, but he refused, and be was taken to the police station. Almost instantly afteieteeals arrest the throng began giving the policemen desperate resistance and the officers were obliged to fight back hard. Pandlmonium reigned and voices screamed vehemently, calling names to the policemen.

Up to 1 oclock the throng resisted the police efforts and commands to disperse, and many men staggered away to be treated for split heads. When the 1 oclock whistles blew the call to work, the majority of the throng rushed to their various places of employment, while others were driven away by the police, who took 13 besides the three leaders to the police station.
