Wheeler, counsel of the Anti-Saloon League called A. A. ' Stagg, athletic director of the University of Chicago, and Professor Irving Fishrr and Henry Fisher and Henry Farnham of Yale to tell 1 whether students of those institutions are drinking and if it is cor- * rupting their morals. Hon. W. E. Raney, former attorney r general of Canada and another 1 Canadian official are to tell whether the Quebec system of government distribution of liquor has (stopped drunkenness and crime there. The plans of the drys are to present their case briskly during the 18 1 hours of their day in court which was granted to them to answer the arguments of the wets. Their publicity is more efficiently organized than that of the wets and their case is more evenly presented. Where wet sympathizers crowded the hearing room last week during - tlie presentation of the wet case, i drys now fill t ;, e seats, applauding a the dry points and ignoring those of . the wets. > Each night Wheeler meets with a committee of his lieutenants and ar-

ranges the testimony for the next day. Witnesses are marched up with the preMsion ot a militant army, In contrast to the presentation or the wet case. It appears now that the hearings may close within a week. Drys obtained consent of the committee for four hours a day. which would conclude their case in five days. I The committee declined to give the ' wets more than t-wo hours a day. , Wets are dissatisfied with the system because it is insufficient and ■ drys oppose it beause it is a weak- ' ening ot enforcement—(so no one is satisfied with it. Raney added. , Furthermore, (the exneri,ment of I other Canadian provinces with government distribution of hard liquor likewise has fallen into disrepute. ; Raney contended. “Hptel men spent thousands of dollars in fitting up premises to make them comply witli the law - . And then the whole thing fell flat—the, beer drinkers said there wasn’t enough ’kick’ in the government's healthful, invigorating, non-intoxi-cating beer. The permits wore in fact useful to the holders chiefly as disguises for the sale of something ; stronger,’’ ho said. —o— ■— Three Fugitives Captured In Stolen Automobile Buffalo. N.
