WHEELER MAY BE CALLED IN DRY LAW TRIAL Would Be Cross-Examined Concerning Coercion of Wilson. Times Washington Bureau. 1.122 New York Acenne WASHINGTON, April 6.—Will the drys put Wayne B. Wheeler on the witness stand and give Senator Jim Reed of Missouri an opportunity to cross-examine him on the activities of the Anti-Saloon League? That’s the-big question in Washington as to the Senate Committee hearings t n prohibition and the drive of the wets to modify the Volstead act. Wheeler is general counsel for the Anti-Saloon League. Reed is one of the most aggressive leaders of the wets. On the Senate committee of five conducting the hearings, Reed is the only Pitted against him for the drys is Senator Walsh of Montana. ' What lends interest to the possible cross-examination of Wheeler by Senator Reed is a series of copyrighted articles written by Wheeler for the New York Times. Here is the digest of one of the articles: While the war was on and President Wilson was trying to get his food administration bill through Congress as a war measure, dry Congressmen added to it a provision prohibiting the use of foodstuffs for manufacturing beverage alcohol. This led to a fight between wets and drys. President Wilson asked Senator

Durkin’s Pal Is Held in West

IJoyd Worthington, a pal of Cliicaso’s notorious gunman, Martin Durkin, is on trial at Los Angeles charged with stealing scores of automobiles and driving them out of the State.

Martin, the Democratic floor leader, to have the prohibitory provisions so modified so the bill could be passed without delay. Martin, a dry, went to the AntiSaloon League’s legislative committee, headed by Wheeler, and told them President Wilson wanted them to assent to withdrawing the prohibition amendments so that the bill could pass. More Respect for League But Senator Martin evidently had more respect for the Anti-Saloon League than for President Wilson, for he told Wheeler: “So far as I am concerned, I will fight for the bill in its present form as long as you think I ought to.” Wheeler sent word to President Wilson, by Senator Martin that they wanted him to put his request in writing. They said to Martin: “We will not say in advance what we will do, but when we receive such a letter from the President we will give it serious consideration.” President Wilson asked that the leaguers come to the White House, but Senator Martin said: “No. They discussed that and that is exactly what they don’t want. They want you to put your request in the form of a letter.” President Wilson wrote a letter, but it wasn’t what Wheeler wanted. So Senator Martin told Bishop Cannon. of the Anti-Saloon League, that he would have the President write another letter. Wilson Surrenders In order to get his Food Administration bill through in time to have it apply to crops about to come in, President Wilson surrendered and wrote the letter substantially as dictated by the league and the warmeasure Food Administration bill nassed.
