DRYS SCORE IN WAR ON SALES Force Treasury to Hold Up Regulations Governing Beer and Wine. WASHINGTON, May 3.—The drys scored heavily today in a fl;yht against beer and wine sales by forcing the Treasury to hold up regulations governing malt and vinous liquors. Action on anew draft of rules, authorizing druggists' sales of such liquors on physicians' prescriptions, was postponed for an Indefinite period, pending the results of new dry legislation in Congress. The Treasury’s decision to withhold authority for such liquor sales to the public came after conferences when officials agreed new rules would be premature In view of the prospect of new amendments to the Volstead law nullifying them. By the decision, which practically sidetracked carefully drawn regulations, under which breweries would have been allowed to go ahead full-speed making “medicinal" beer with a kick and sales to the sick would have been authorized lu amounts of four 'and seven-eighths gallons at one time, the machinery for issuing these classes of nonbeverage permits was brought to an abrupt stop. All now depends on what Congress does about beer and wine. The program is for speedy action on the bill introduced by Representative Volstead, amending the enforcement act, speciflclally barring beer as a medicinal agent. Hearings on this measure will begin May 12. CHECK IS PUT ON CALLS FOR FUNDS U. S. Heads Told to Keep Within Appropriations.

ASSAILS LAXITY OF DIVORCE LAWS Chicago Priest Opens K. of C. Retreat at Cathedral. Nearly 1,000 men attended the opening services of the Knights of Columbus retreat, which is being held each evening at 8 o’clock in SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, Fourteenth and Meridian streets. Father Edwin Ronan of Chicago, delivered the first of a series of sermons and took for his text: "Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” The 6ermons during the week. Father Ronan said, would not deal with politics or subjects foreign to religion, but solely with the moral doctrines of Jesus Christ. He assailed the present-day laxity of the divorce laws and said there were many today who believed that the strict requirements of the church in matters of marriage and divorce should be modified to meet the modern concept. “But this can never come aboufc,” said the speaker, because the laws of the church surrounding the sacred institution of marraige are the unchangeable laws of an Almighty God.” Special music by a men's choir of 500 voices, under the direction of Elmer Andrew Steffen, is being given during the retreat. All Knights of Columbus and their friends are invited to attend the services.

There seems to prevail, at least on the outside, a spirit of apathy in regard to the three Republican candidates for mayor and councilman. Little has been said of the Issues of the campaign. Tho only unusual feature of the primary is the fact that a woman, Mrs. Ella B Wright, is a contestant for the office of mayor, standing on a platform of strict law enforcement.

FKOF. C. C. CUNNINGHAM. Special to the Times. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., May 2. Wabash College made a clean sweep of the State in public speaking this year. The college won the oratorical contest, the peace contest and championship in debate in Indiana. It is the first time in the history of colleges and universities of the State that one Institution has won these three events. Wabash also won the Stale oratorical last year, and by taking it again this year, broke another record. It wns due to the services of Professor C. C. Cunningham, head of the public speaking department that Wabash was able to accomplish this work. Professor Cunningham, who came to Wabash last full, has a splendid record as a public speaker and orator. He has taken part as speaker or coach In twenty-five interscholastic and intercollegiate debates, winning twenty-two of them. In 1910, when only fifteen years of age, he was a member of the Brooklyn Commercial High School team which won the championship of Greater New York. He was tho youngest to take part in a championship debate in the entire history of the New Y'ork Debating league. After graduating from high school he worked four years in Wall street. In 1912 he entered Colgate University. He was a member of the victorious varsity debating team that year. The following year, as associate professor of English In Berea College, Kentucky, he coached winning debuting teams. In 1917 Mr. Cunningham was offered a professorship in public speaking at Wabash, but declined in order to enter the military service. He enlisted in the United States army In the summer of 1917 and was discharged in the fall of 1919, after haring served the greater part of the time overseas. During the presidential campaign of 1920, Mr. Cunningham was an ardent supporter of Governor Cox and made many speeches In support of the Ohio Governor throughout this section of Indiana.
