NATION IMPROVED BV DRY ACT RULE, SENATOR ASSERTS Author of Amendment Lists Benefits of Five Years of Prohibition. By SENATOR NORRIS SHEPPARD of Texas. Authox- of the Eighteenth Amendment. Written for the United Press. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—Jan. 16 marks five years of national prohibition. In every national election since nation-wide prohibition went into effect the people have signified their approval of prohibition by increasing the dry majority in both House and Senate. During the operation of prohibition, the decreased arrests for drunkenness have numbered 600,000 annually. There have been 260,000 fewer industrial accidents. A decreased mortality rate has developed which adds three years to the average human life. The 276 drink cures of license days have dwindled to twenty-seven. Lowering drinkcaused poverty is saving $74,000,000 annually. College* Crowded Prohibition has closed many orphanages and crowded the colleges and schools. It has doubled the number of investors and made it possible for them to sa/e $30,000,000 out of the daily wage of $200,000,000. With nearly 16,000,000 automobiles on the roads, we mus choose between liquor and the automobile. Drinking '.iquor always was harmful. Now, in addition, it is unlawful to make it, buy it, carry it, or possess it as a beverage, except as to the small residue purchased and stored before prohibition was Instituted. It is not only a bad example to use this residue for beverage purposes, but every reason for total abstinenece in the past is reinforced today by the fact that the drinker of illegal booze furnishes a prece dent for the encouragement of all law, gambles with his health and life, makes more hazardous the work of faithful public officials, subjects this country to the criticism of nations hostile to our American policy of government, undermines the faith of the people that a majority can enforce its own laws, teaches the youth the first lessons in anarchy—disrespect for constituted authority. ‘Game of Democracy’ Americans who love this republic more than a drink of liquor will obey the law and will insist on like obedience from others. Good sportsmen play the game of democracy fair. Prohibition is the law of the land. It will remain so. The perpetuity of the nation depends upon obedience to and enforcement o t the law.

SNODGRASS FREE; STARTSON STAGE 'King of Ivories’ Released From Prison Today. Bv United Press JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 16. .—An ex-convict starts out today to capitalize the opportunity which prison confinement gave him. Harry Snodgrass—king of the ivories to the radio world —was released at noon after having served slightly more than a year of a three-year sentence for a hold-up in St Louis. With Mrs. Snodgrass and their 8-year-old son and the promise of S6OO weekly for a two-year- vaudeville tour, Snodgrass will leave for St. Louis. Years ago Snodgrass played the pl&no in cheap dance hall orchestras in St. Louis. Money was scarce and there came a chance of “easy dough in the hold-up racket.” The first attempt resulted In Harry’s pal being killed and Harry being captured. But the past is forgotten now. After a brief visit in St. Louis, Snodgrass will leave for Evansville, Ind., where Sunday he starts his tuneful career.

Aged Man Looks With Pride at Unique Line of. Posterity

As Henry Wade, 82, of Floyd County sits thinking of the years gone by he points with pride to a unique line of posterity. Twelve children, forty-six grandchildren, and sixty-five great-grandchildren, a total o< 123 do not lessen his interest in every newcomer in the line. Recently he made a trip to Bartholomew County to see some new twin daughters that had been born to his granddaughter, Mrs. Roscoe Williams. He had hopes, he says, of seeing some great-great-grand children. Despite a defective leg, Wade enlisted in the Civil War and on long winter evenings he delights his grandchildren with tales of that period and of Morgan’s raiders lnhis neighborhood. His crippled leg and his venerable age do not “slow” him in the least, however. He is “right there” with a good peppy jig whenever the jazz begins. Perhaps, he says this is due to the fact that he uses neither coffee nor tobacco and “hlods booze runners In contempt.”

WOMEN ACCOSTED ON WAYTO WORK Police Ordered to Find Man at Once, Recalling the disappearance and murder of Mrs. Helen Hager Whelchel more than a year ago, Capt. Herbert Fletcher today gave specific orders to the lieutenant and sergeant in the Riley Hospital district to find by tonight a colored man who has accosted several women in that neighborhood. Mrs. Mary Brisbin, 35. of IH7 W T . Fifteenth St., reported a riegro knocked her down and attempted to attack her at Tenth and Wilson Sts., on her way to the hospital, where she is employed. Police who escorted Mrs. Brisbin to the hospital were told by Miss Virginia Vogt, 232 Hanson Ave., also employed at the hospital, that she had been accosted by a man answering the same description, Wodnes day morning. Police said they had received other complaints.

U.S. JUDGESHIP RAGETIGHTENS Struggle Intensified With* Hickey Bill a Law, The struggle between Indiana lawyers, judges and politicians over the second Federal Judgeship was Intensified today by announcement from Washington that President Coolldge had signed the Hickey bill, creating the position. Under the new law, Indiana will remain one Federal district, with an additional Judge. The State will be broken into divisions end court will be held at Indianapolis, South Bend, Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute, Hammond and Evansville. }iher since the appointment of Robert J. Baltxell of Princeton to succeed Judge Albert B. Anderson be came a certainty the contest for the other judgesnip has become more acuti daily. It is believed a north ern Indiana man will be selected. TILT ON SENATE FLOOR State Senators Lambert, Columbus, Republican, and Chambers, Newcastle, Democrat, engaged in a verbal tilt on the floor today when Senator Chambers objected to a remark by his* Republican colleague. "I would like to have the Senator explain what he means by saying the finance committee of which both Senator Durham and I are members, will railroad through the bill of Senator Durham which our committee now has. Senator Durham is not here, and I want to know what underhand work is going on.” “I was merely joking,” replied Senator Lambert. “Well, if you were joking,” thundered Lieutenant Governor Van Orman, "I want to remind you this is an auguit body, and no place for jokes.”

After every meal I would feel faint and weak and quite often I would suffer severe pains in my stomach. I am a horseshoer *by trade and my work requires strength.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ITALY’S PREMIER SAYSPEOPLEARE QUIETLYAT WORK Mussolini Calls Rumors of Unrest Fanatical and AbsuVd, By BENITO MUSSOLINI, (Premier of Italy) (Copyrlgh 1925, By United Press) ROME, Jan. 16.—Thank you for offering me the opportunity for a categorical denial of most fantastic and absurd rumors spread abroad a,bout the political situation in Italy. I want to assure you most emphatically: 1. That the people of Italy are peacefully and quietly at work and that in the great majority they do not worry about political questions artificially! created by a small restless minority, a minority which disposes of no other weapon save libel, undermining the credit of Italy. 2. That the Fascist government besides being supported by the gen/ eral, silent consent of the people, have a strong majority in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Senate and dispose of all -the forces of the State with the highest sense of devotion toward their king -and country and constituting an unbreakable dam for protection from any attempt against the nation. 3. That in any event, the opposition does not seriously consider any attempt of the kind, because they realize that the only possibility they have to/avoid being ridiculous is in keeping a negative attitude which at least does not reveal their intrinsic weakness. 4. That the political movements in Italy are not the most serious, but are even less Important, I believe, then those of any other European country. I will be obliged to you for bringing the knowledge of the great American people these declarations of mine, which no man, in no way, can deny.
