Senator Says Statute Has
Ruined Happiness and
Debased Morals.
WASHINGTON. April S—OP)
Prohibition has had no effect on the
whole except that nf blighting human
happiness debasing human morals and
discrediting human laws. Senator
Bruce. Democrat of Maryland de-
clared today in opening the case for
the wets at public hearings before a
Senate Judiciary sub-committee.
Appearing in support of his consti-
tutional amendment to permit gov-
ernment manufacture and Rale nf
linuora in those states or subdivisions
which were wet before ratification of
the eighteenth amendment. Senator
Bruce brought n scathing indictment
against the Volstead art.
CHURCH IN POLITICS.
“The Volstead act.” he snid. “has
placed human hanpiness in more than
one vital particular under the irritat-
ing and harassing domination of a
sour corrosive and narrow-minded
Puritanism which does not hesitate
to avow its enmity even to such in-
nocent recreations ns smoking and
dancing.
“It has for the first time brought
the church deeply into politics.
“It hR* established a settled com-
merce between worthier and the nn-
worthiest members of tbe community.
“It has created an underworld al-
most a« thoroughly organized as the
respectable world about it.
LAWS IN DISREPUTE.
“It is responsible for the unprece-
dented phenomenon of thousands and
thousands of reputable men and wom-
en. including ministers of the law it-
self. living in habitual disregard of
the Constitution and law.
“It has tended to bring all laws
including itself into more or less dis-
repute.
“It has transferred distilling and
bowing operation* from tbe distillery
and brewery tn the home.
“It has displaced the temperate re-
freshing cln«s of beer with the fiery
pocket flask.
“It has fostered deceit perfidy
espionage and tyranny in some of
rheir meanest and most hateful as
pectß.
CORRI'PTION CHARGED.
“It haR lowered the prestige of the
federal government.”
Asserting that “worst of all is the
extent tn which the federal service ha*
been defiled by corruption hatched by
it.” he presented figures a* to the
number of men dismissed from the fed-
eral enforcement unit for eirruption:
pointed to convictions of state and
municipal police and declared that
even the engst guard “that nursing
mother of brave and devoted men.”
had failed to escape “tbe contamina-
tion of prohibition.”
“Last year it took two Pullman car*
to transfer to Atlanta the convicted
policemen and prohibition agents cor-
ralled in a single round-up in Ohio”
the senator added. 4
QUOTES STATISTICS.
“Tn May. 1925. n special grand jury
in Morris county. New Jersey wns
reported in tbe press ns returning at
one rime indictment* neninst coun-
ty offie»m nnd others for violations of
the Volstend act.”
Senator Bmoc marabnSed official
*tatistics to show the increasing num-
ber of violations of the prohibition
law* raeh year. The*** showed that
arrests by federal officers had mount-
ed from 34.175 in 1921. to 02.747 in
1925. while reports frnrn police chief*
in 12 cities recorded in almost every
instance a steadily mounting number
nf persons arre«ted for drunkenness
from year to year.
Disagreeing with tho«e who contend
that the federal government hnd not
sought to enforce the law effectively
he declared that never in the history
nf free institution* has any govern-
ment more pertinaciously *ought te
carry out a policy. obnnxiouß to n
powerful popular sentiment than has
th* federal government in its rela-
tion* to th* Volstead act.”

Veterinarian
Finds Cure for
Distemper in Dogs
FRESNO Cal. April s—(4>)
Discovery of a serum for the
treatment and a vaccine for the
prevention of distemper in dogs
is announced by Dr. H. B. Win-
tringham former Fresno veterin-
arian but now of Berkeley. In
tests carried on by veterinarians
all over the state with serum fur-
nished by the two men it was
reported that the serum is »5
per cent efficient in effecting
the cure of distemper. This is
the first definite cure for dis-
temper in dogs that has been
discovered it is claimed.
Distemper in dogs Dr. Win-
tringham stated is a disease
caused by a virus which has so
far not been isolated.
GRIFFITH GOES
TO TBIIL FOB
4TH TIME
With both defense and prosecution
annoupcing ready Monday morning
Thad L. Griffith Snn Antonio real
estate man for the fourth time faced
trial on a charge of murder in con-
nection with the death of George Ma-
son. garage man in December. 1923.
Three previous trials have resulted
in hung juries.
Examination of the special venire
of 300 men began immediately after
both sides announced rendy.
Neither side were willing to predict
the time it will take to select a
jury.
Mason was beaten to death with an
automobile pump. The state in pre-
vious trials has built its case mainly
on the testimony of Florida Washing-
ton. negro woman who testified she
saw the alleged altercation between
Griffith and Mason.
Witnesses were placed on the stand
by the defense to construct a case of
self-defense for Griffith whom it is
alleged had been threatened by Ma-
son because of an unpaid garage bill.

EDGE ASKS DRY
MIFIMTION
IS SOLUTION
Urges Changes Up to Point
of Constitutional
Limitation.
WASHINGTON April S.—OP) -
Modify the Volstead act up to the
point of constitutional limitation and
much of the existing spirit of chal-
lenge and protest will be eliminated
Senator Edge Republican New Jer-
sey. declared today before the Sen-
ate Prohibition Investigating Commit-
tee.
Appearing to urge biR beer bill*.
Senator Edge said no one defend’d
violation of the law. hut that it avail-
ed nothing to fall back on the conten-
tion that the “thw should and must be
enforced.
“The facts are this law is not en-
forced. and in my judgment never
can be satisfactorily enforced” he
said.
FLAYS DRY LAW.
“Any law that brings in its wake
such wide corruption in tbe public
service increased alcoholic insanity
and deaths increased arrests for
drunkenness home bar rooms and de-
velopment among young hoys and
young women of the use of the flask
never heard of before prohibition
cannot be successfully defended.
“I unhesitatingly contend that those
who recognize existing evils and sin
cerely endeavor to correct them are
contributing more toward temperance
than those who stubbornly refuse to
admit the facts.
“The time ha* arrived for Con-
gress to cense trying to find excuses
to postpone modification nr tn refuse
tn meet this situation. The time has
arrived for Congress to help find a
legal way to do sn.
DEFENDS OWN BILL.
“The bill introduced by me and
referring to alcoholic contents amends
the Volstead act by substituting the
words (non-intoxicating in fact) for
the present limitation of under one-
half of one per cent. In other words
it copies and asserts the very words
of the Constitution itsrlf and its con-
stitutionality therefore cannot b“
questioned.”
