UNITE AGAINST AMENDMENT IN ' ANTI-BEER BILL 'Solons Unalterably Oppose Search and Seizure Proposal. THREATEN FILIBUSTER WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Senators and Represet native* who voted for the original Volstead act Joined today in the lrlaJujr storm of protest in Congress against the Anti-Saloon League proposal •to legalize search and seizure of private •property outside the home by prohibition agents not armed with search warrants. The proposal, written Into the Rnti-beer hill by Senator Sterling, Republican, South Dakota, and Representative Volstead, threatens to wreck the plan for ft congressional recess starting Wednesday and to render further doubtful the final enactment of the bill Itself. Opponents of tho proposal are ready to wage a long and bitter fight against It. They declare it violates the constitutional rights of private citizens and would permit Indiscriminate search of automobiles, baggage and other private property outside tbe home on the slightest pretext by the prohibition "polica.'' Senator Lodge, Massachusetts, Republican leader of the Senate, and Brandagee, Connecticut, are among those who Wield considerable. Influence on the Republican side, who declare they will never consent to the proposal, against which a number of leading Democratic Senators, including Reed, Missouri: Stanley, Kentucky, and Broussard, Louisiana, also are lined up. These Senators insist that the provision of the dry proposal which is intended to impose penalties upon prohibition agents unarmed with search warrants who engage in search or seizure of private property outside the home without “reasonable cause" or with “malicious latent,'’ Is "sheer camouflage'' and ; "means nothing.” Unless the House dry* accert the Stanley amendment, Brandegee and his colleagues declare they will continue to hold up the anti-beer bill even If they have to “talk it to death.”
DRTS VICTORS IN CONFERENCE REPORT Spccia.l to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—Radical dry foirces emerged victorious from the sessions of the Joint conference committee. Which succeeded Saturday in reaching an agreement. The Senate and Honse amendment* designed to moderate enforcement of th*i prohibition law both went by the board in the conference settlement. Indications are that the agreement instead of straightening out the tangle over the anti-beer bill will only increase complications. The principal features of the conferees' agreement, may be summed up thus: Tbe House provision interpreted to legalize home brewing was eliminated. The Senate provisions aimed to stop unwarranted search of automobile, baggage and other private property by prohibition agents went out. TU* original Stanley amendment protecting private dwellings from search without warrant was retained. In dig nation ran high among the wets and the more conservative dry*, when contents of the conference reports become known. The report was received with such amazement that it threw the •ntire legislative program Into confusion and rendered recess prospects exceedingly uncertain. miBCSTES SEEMS CERTAIN. Wet leaders reinforced by some of the less rabid drys In the Senate made it plain that they would never consent to the passage of the bill In the form reported by the conference committee They made no effort to conceal their determination to filibuster against tbe bill to the last ditch if they found th.-m ■elves unable to muster sufficient votes to reject the conference report. They declare . their Intentii.n of holding out indefinitely against final action on ths bill if the House insisted on killing the Stanley amendment. In view of this apparent Impasse the chief hope of a recess now rests on the possibility that the nouse may refuso to support the conferees and agree to accept the Stanley einendineit. Another prospects Jess promising, how ever, is that the w. ary Congress bent on taki ig a vacation, will refuse to stay in Washington to wrangle about denying doctors the right to proscribe beer as medicine and will go on its holiday without acting on the conference report. Two members of the Conference Com mittee did not sign the conference report. They were Senator Aahurst, Ariaonia, and Representative Dyer, Missouri Senator Ashurst openly bolted the conference and washed his hands of the entire proceeding after the conferees derided to torpedo the Stanley amendment. Although an ardent prohibitions. hlm■rlf, Senator Ashurst contended that prohibition enforcement ha* run to such excesses that legislative measures are imperatively necessary to preserve the constitutional rights of eitisens. The text of the conference agreement taking the place of both the Stanley amendment and the House substitute so! lows: “That any agent, or employee of hte United States engaged in the enforcement of this act, or the national prohibition act, or any other law of the United States, who shall search any private dwelling as defined in the national prohibition act, and occupied as such dwelling, without a warrant directing such search, or who whjje so engaged shall without a search warrant maliciously and Without reasonable cause search any •ther building or property, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined for a first offense, not more than one thousand dollars and for a subsequent offense not more than one thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than one year, or both, such fine and imprisonment.” Senator Sterling, South Dakota, laid the conference report before th eSenate.— Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos. Asks Roads Built to Halt Unemployment WASHINGTON Aug. 22.—Secretary Hoover today addressed an appeal to Governor* of all Star** to engage now in road construction and repairing to reduce unemployment. More than five million worker* now are jobless throughout the country, according to an estimate by Secretary of Labor Davis.

Dean Obenchain, with j tanr-dUnmed eyes, bitterly upbraided th* j beautiful woman now hold In Los An--1 geles on a charge of slaying J.

She called him simply an “ungrateful son.” It was her first interview with the public press. "We gnve everything wo hart for Ralph—my husband and I," she said, trying to hide the bitterness In her heart. "We scraped together all we could to give him an education. Then he dlsanpointed us.

At that time Arthur C. Btirch ws Ms bitterest rival. My son wanted to win her—to show the world he could ein her—so they.became engaged," said th* mother “Then Madalynne told Ralph she was going to New* York to go on the stage. Ralph told her. If you go to New York, I am thrcigh.' But Madalynne went. "While she was in New York she fell desperately In love with her vocal teacher, a married man. I l*:cr Inter- j eopted n b-t'er from this man, (he con- ; rents of which 1 cannot disclose. "Then Madalynne came back to Evan • ston and Ralph would have nothing to do j with her. She kept calling him over the telephone until finally he met her. ! That's all she wanted—she knew that if i lie ever saw her for a minute, he would be back in her clutches that's ij, j clutches. “I cannot understand that woman's power over men. She had them running around as though they were mannikins and she was pressing the button. Then Ralph married her. “I always tolj him that some time that woman would get him in an awful mens. Now he has racriflced everything for her. Some people laud him for running ! to the coast to defend that woman. No one seems to condemn him for deserting l.is mother."

Plans for a municipal swimming pool to be located in the north central part of Douglas Park, about sixty feet north of Twenty Eighth street, are being completed by W. Bintz, Lansing, Mich., architect, working with City Civil Engineer Frank C. Lingenfelter and Superintendent of Parks James 11. Lowry. The pool will be identical, practically, with the photograph. This Is a picture of a pool built by the city of Flint, Mich. The Douglas Park pool will be the same with the exception that It will have only half as many column lights, an overhead system being designed to furnish inoyt of the night illumination, and it will be larger. The proposed pool will have a water capacity of 610,000 gallons. It will be oval in shape with a maximum length of 192 foot by a maximum width of 128 feet. The depth at one end will be nine feet and at the other, three. The cost has not been estimated. Lockers, dressing rooms, showers and

PLAZA BACKERS BEFORE SESSION Ready to Submit Further Evidence of Reputed Fraud. Proponents of the plaza project were prepared this afternoon to submit further evidence of what they consider fraud in i t.he remonstrance against it when the city council elections committee reconvened the public hearing upon the document, which asks for referendum upon the question of the city's participation. The hearing was continued from July 2S. I>r. Sumner A. rbimlss, chairman of the elections committee, was prepared to con- ! tlnue the hearing this evening either before or after the special meeting of the council If the argument could not be finished this afternoon. Some of the pro-plaza leaders predicted that the remonstrants would not be represented at the hearing because they have not asked to see the remonstrance which has been In the possession of the city legal department for several weeks. Some of the remonstrants ere understood to have taken the position that the council is bound by law to call the special election, regardless of attacks upon the remonstrance by the pro-plaza forces and that therefore It Is unnecessary for them to attend the public hearings.

The negro jerked awny from the policeman and ran. Patrolmen Trautman, H. Smith. Lyons and Taylor were attracted by the officer's calls aud went to his assistance. The would-be burglar was just disappearing into an alley when the patrolmen shot ut him four times. After chasing the negro for some distance the officers found a piece of shirt sleeve wet with blood : and believe at least one of the bullets hit the mark. About 3 a. m. Sunday the four patrolmen were together at Nineteenth sTrAet and Marttndala avenue when they saw a negro, who had been standing near the curb on the sidewalk on Nineteenth street near Arsenal avenue, Jump back behind a ■ post and then run down an Alley. The po- j lice started in pursuit and when they got within revolver range the negro turned and fired two shots at Patrolman Lyons. The negro was a poor marksman, but was a goed hurdler and made his escape when he Jumped a fence after being chased by the police for about four blocks The police say they are positive they have not seen the same negro twice. They say the negro they shot at Saturday morning was of a lighter build than (he one they chased Sunday morning. They say they believe the two negroes are the ones who broke into a moving picture theater on College avenue a few nights ago.

U. S. SUPPLIES TO REACH RIGA DURING WEEK (Continued From Page One.) Here in Moscow, where life is vastly easier than in the famine stricken regions, tile reports that food from America was soon to come brought encouragement to a war weary population. Conditions in Moscow today were said | by my informants to tie greatly improved j since 1920. If there were no famine in the Volga, they said, 1922 undoubtedly would have been stiil further improved, Nevertheless. I found life here terribly hard. We get paper tickets for everything here—for food and shoes and clothe*. “W* cannot *at paper. We cannot we.ir paper." the citizens complained. ! SALARIES AND i WAGES LOW. ' Salaries and wages in Moscow are at { lowest ebb. Many people are selling [ everything they have in order to exist. ! Families crowd together in small holes !of rooms. One kitchen serves a half | a doen families that fiel may be con- j | served. ' There are more than two million people j here in Moscow and not nearly enougli houses for them. In the poorer sections of the city, the overcrowding is a spectacle terrible to contemplate. Yet with it all, and the dread famine ravaging the country, tbe people of Moscow I have met are not too pessimistic. “Things are not so bad here,” said , a Russian doctor, who had returned from • the famine area. He and his w ife were convinced things j would Improve. They had been engaged ! in relief work and had horrible tales of i famine suffering and disease to tell. | They themselves, formerly prosperous, j were reduced to their last extremity | financially. j “But why do you remain In Russia'.'! Why do you not go to Latvia?” 1 asked. \
PEOPLE LOVE THEIR RUSSIA. I had heard that the heroic woman who had risked her life and given her private fortune ;o help the feminine sufferers, had parents living In the border state. “I shall be glad to visit Latvia some day," she replied, with a proud lift of her head. “But I would not live In Latvia for anything. We love our country." This Intense patriotism of most Russians, T have mot litre, has been a source of surprise. “Why, life Is free here.” the doctor's wife continued. "Much freer "than any place else. Life—lt has no limitations at all In Russia. Life Is interesting. Some day it will be better here." This was the feeling which I found on every side; a measure of optimism not entirely exterminated by famine. The plague is being conquered, the people point out; American relief will stay the famine; shops are opening here, though with meager stocks. Still, “things will get better - ’—that seems to be the Russian philosophy. Americans are still looked up to by the poorer classes as probable saviors of Russia. BUI Haywood was one of the first of the American colony I met here. He was looking as fit as a fiddle and full of “pep” and expressed the keenest interest in the latest news from Chicago and the recent activities of the I. W. W. Haywood reiterated his determination not to return to the United States “until he was ready.” “I’ll never spend a day in an American jail,” he said, “and I'll not return to the Unßed States until my work here is finished.” —Copyright, 192 L by United Press. REFUGEES ATTACK PEOPLE IN POLAND COPENHAGEN, Aug. 22.—A horde of 50,000 Russian fugitives from the famine zone have crossed the Ukranian-Polish frontier and are attacking and plunder ing the populations of villages, according to reports received today. Sanguinary fighting was said to be in progress. Left Gate Open; Shot PENDLETON, Ore., Aug. 22.—Louis Ragains, cow puncher, was shot and kllle dbecause he left a gate on a cattle ranch open. Jess Brunn was held for the murder.
PACKERS LOWER PRICES; MEATS HIGH AT RETAIL Buyers’ Strike Hits Market, Causing DemorializationA but No Cuts. CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—The patlenfi American housewife turned on tha •butcher today and struck against tho high price of meat, according to indications reaching tlio world’s meat center. Wholesale meat, prices have touched tho lowest point in five years, but tho family meat bill has not been noticeably trimmed. The buyers’ meat strike has demoralized the market, judging from statements of conditions issued by the Institute of American Meat Packers and the National Dive Stock Exchange. Warehouses all over the country are filled with beef for which there is no purchasers. Farmers, hard pressed for cash, flooded the markets with their stock, thereby beating-down the prices they receive and enabling the packers to slash wholesale quotations. "The condition would he remedied if thp retailers would give consumers the advantage of lower prices,” said Everett C. Brown, president of the National Livestock Exchange. The packers do not directly blame the retailers, but: s “We feel that any explanation of retail prices should come from those who retail meat and not from wholesalers,” said AY. AV. Woods of the Institute of American Meat Packers. Chicago retailers in admitting meat prices are high, pass the buck over the meat counter to the purchaser. Sol Westorfield, representative reiailer, said prices are high because the public will not buy the cheaper cuts of meat which are equally nourishing. Inability to sell the cheap r meats causes the high prices of the more desirable pieces, he said. No one has accused the farmer of profiteering. It is admitted by all he is making little, if any, i)rofit on his stock at present prices. EIGHT CAUGHT IN BOOZEJRAIDS Six Men, Two Women in Net of Federal and City Police.
