They also took their cause to the White House, and to their pleas for modification of the existing dry laws, along with a declaration for law and order, they received a brief response from President Coolidge, ignoring the question of modification but expressing his gratification at the assurance that the association stood behind the law. Ask Modifications. In the memorial presented to the president- through Senator Bayard, Democrat, Delaware, and Archibald Hopkins, president of its executive committee, the association declared it believed "in the impartial execution of law as the preservative of the citizen's liberty" and that "experience has shown that existing laws should be modified." In his reply, which was made privately to the delegates and not made public by the White House, the president announced his determination to enforce the laws in accordance with his oath of office. More than a dozen speakers attacked the results of prohibition en forcement during the day sessions of the association, and the theme later was the subject of addresses at a banquet tonight, with Senator Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, and Senator Bayard as speakers, and Representative Hill, Maryland, as toastmaster for the occasion.

The association's attack on the dry laws in effect pushed the Interior department appropriation bill off the when Representative Cramton, Re- publican, Michigan, in charge of the supply measure, laid it aside' to denounce the association as an organization formed "for the avowed purpose of nullification of the eighteenth amendment." Asserting1 the association has "close liasion with the liquor Interests and is in part supported by contributions from that source," Representative Cram-ton declared "its wine and beer proposal Is impossible under the present constitution," and asked if it was not a "subterfuge" to nullify the eighteenth amendment.

Humphries decided to investigate, the fact that spider webs overhung the entrances and piles of rubbish had accumulated on the door sills of the structure.

At a given signal, the police and dry agents burst down a door, and found themselves in a brilliantly illuminated interior with the giant still bubbling, and polished electrical machinery working silently. No one was in sight but an instant later three men were seen to dash from a trap door on the root Prohibition agents opened fire and they dropped behind chimneys and then wormed their way to the edge of the roof, but on finding Mr. McClure waiting, they surrendered. HARDING BEGAN Coolidge Says He(Is Following Predecessor's Footsteps WASHINGTON, .21. The pending proposal' for reduction of federal taxes is the fruit of the governmental economy campaign inaugurated by President Harding and carried forward by the present administration, President Coolidge told federal executive officers today in their.

semi-annual "business organization" meeting.

The chief executive, addressing the officials for the first time as presi dent, declared that to employ waste ful and inefficient methods in ad ministration of federal affairs was to disragard the welfare of the nation as a whole. He urged them, in laying plans for any governmental ac tivities, to consider the situation from the broad national saying that decisions' made' under such circumstances usually would be-proper and beneficial. jut.

i.ooiidge views on economy and his thoughts as to future management of federal affairs were amplified before the gathering by Bri gadier General Lord, director of the bureau of the budget, who cited details in support of his chief's declaration that the budget had been a suc-ces and that establishment' of a "business organization of the government" insured economy if all officials co-operate. General Lord also recounted the ways and means by which the government finished tho last fiscal year with a surplus and the efforts under way now to make this fiscal year one of saving to the taxpayer through redaction of expenditures.
