WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 (UP)—
Senator Bingham, Republican, Con*
necticut, today urged congression-
al wets to organize to force a beer
bill through senate and house in
the early weeks of the short ses-
sion to enable the treasury to ob-
tain the maximum revenue from
bee; taxes.
I Anti-saioon league records show
that in only six states—New York
Wisconsin, Montana, Maryland and
Massachusetts—would beer be le-
galized automatically by amend-
ment of the Volstead Act. Other
states have local prohibition laws
which would require amendment to
legalize beverages containing more
than one-half of one per cent of al-
cohol.
Beer-for-revenue advocates de-
sire early congressional action in
the short session to enable the
maximum number of state legisla-
tures to have an early opportunity
to legalize beer.
About three-fourths of the state
legislatures will meet this winter
or in the spring. Some of those
meeting In January may complete
their legislative business and ad-
journ by mid-March. That would

AUSTIN, Tex., Oct. 15 (UP)—
Mysterious reports of a plot to
rob the vaults'of the Texas State
Treasury circulated in Austin to-
day.
Charles Lockhart, state treasur-

who bad heard discussion of a plot.
Lockhart notified Capt. Frank Ha-
mer of the Texas Rangers.
Hamer scoffed at the sugges-
tion of a raid on the treasury.
"What would they get—the de-
ficit?" he asked.
The treasury is the depository
of many state securities. Fre-
quently a guard is placed ((bout it
Its vault is surrounded by two
walls. Cannon balls occupy the
space between the walls.
A raid on the state treasury was
attempted In true wild west style
In 186(5. Local defenders beat off
the attackers with rifle fire.
