April 16.—The prospect of n more serious turn in the Cuban railway strike Is quite apt to make itself felt In the market for futures. This possibility, twken together with the drastic program Its relief announced by the Cuban President. is something to be reckoned with in current operations. Os course prices have latelv rebounded quite sharply and this initial response to the changing outlook for the Cuban sugar Industry may be followed bv lurther hedge selling and some liquidation. But. I think that from the standpoint of the Investor anv recession that, may occur will be a favorable development.

Prohibition to Stay, Says Yellowley

,

I>*ft lo right: Ansel R. Harris, deputy prohibition administrator in charge of enforcement in Indiana, aJid his boss, 1.. (.’, Yellowloy, prohibition administrator of the Thirteenth district.

, Suocess of prohibition <leiends on three things: Efficiency of the prohlbtion enforcement staffs, cooperation of Federal, State, county and local courts with the prohbttion officials and levying penalties, of Jail Imprisonments and fines, heavy enough to bring the law violations to a halt. This opinion was expressed by E. C. Yellowloy, prohibition administrator of the Thirteenth district, here on a two-day visit. The district Includes Indiana, Illinois and Washington. Yellow ley, nlthough he would not discuss the stand Assistant Trensurer Secretary’ Lincoln Andrews has taken in fax’,,ring light

DRY CHIEF MAY GET SPANKING (Contlimed From Page 1) this probably aid law enforcement?’ ” Andrews ti.iid. “I answered ‘Yes.’ “1 am not advocating any change \ in this law. Contrary, I am giving my sole attention to Its enforcement.” Churchman Heard Meanwhile the wet ease rested, the Senate inquiry settled down to hear the defense of prohibition. I)r. W. 1. Haven, representative of the Federal Council of Churches, was the first witness today. IJquor traffic before prohibition was allied with politicaJ corruption, crime, gambling and prostitution, and for that reason the 45,000,000 church members want it kept extinct, Dr. Haven said. Dr. Haven presented the report of the council's administrative committee, which said: "The social perils ,f alcoholism are becoming of growing concern to the statt snn n <>f tho world. Ts serious evils ha ve sprung up* since prohibition, they are far less than the evils which arose from tho liquor traffic: prior to the amendment. * Wreckage of Men “It meant the wreckage of men and the degradation of families. It produced needless inefficiency in industry. “Method* of control short of prohibition, such as taxation, regulation and the government.'illy controlled systems of some of the Canadian provinces and Norway and Sweden. .',ll h;,\e proved inadequate. "The call of the hour is for such thorough-going work of moral j>ersuasion, which will give the policy of prohibition an adequate opportunity to prove its full value of the natfhn and the world.” Dr. Barks Cadman, council president, notified the committee that churches are more convinced tham ever before of the value of prohibition. ‘Modification would Inevitably bring back the saloon,” Cadman said. Clifford W. Barnes, president of the Chicago church federation, presented a resolution adopted by the executive committe of his organization which stated “that through the CAreful Investigation of scientists and social workers as well as the sad experience of multitudes of Individuals, there has gradually develr>l>ed a conviction* among t%e vast majority of our American citizens that the use of alcoholic stimulants as a beverage is detrimental to the welfare of the nation.” The resolution pleaded that the present law be strengthened and enforcement encouraged. Telegrams From Canada Telegrams from Canadian clergycontaining charges that liquor traffic in Canada has wrought great evils were read. Lee W. Beatty, suj>erintendeiit of Madison Square Garden settlement, said the east side of New York has changed since prohibition, ami that from TwentyEighth St. to Thirty-Ninth St. in his district there Is not. a single “speak easy” existing today. The Cleveland Humans Society reported that before prohibition ’ 50 per cent of Its child welfare oases were due to parental alcoholism, whereas these cases now comprise onl’ 15 per cent, of the total. Meanwhile, the legislative committee of the Anti Saloon League went into executive session today to consider Assistant Andrews’ statement. Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the League, told the United Press that the committee would issue a statement some time today on just how the Anti-Saloon League felt about the entire matter, but he would not Indicate In advance whether there would be an attempt to oust Andrews. PENNA RESIGNS Bu I'nited-Pres* 'TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 16. Phil H. Penna. for twenty years secretary of the Indiana Bitum’nous Coal Operators’ Association, has resigned. it became known here today. Penna has also been treasurer the past few years. 11l health is given <u* the cause.

wines and beer, said ‘‘the prohibition law is here to stay and It will never be modified.” lie declared conditions in Indiana are improving. He commended cooperation given the prohibition enforcement forces by the courts in this State.' “Imposition of heavy fines and sentences is one of the real cures for prohibition law violators," he said. “This, along with the 1857 law. which I'm preparing to enforce, which stipulates forfeiture of real and personal property where stills are being operated, will block excessive violations in this State and the remainder of the district.”

SEEK OPINION OF COURT IN FIGHT (Continued From Page 11 sorbed jn grandstand r>oiitical bouts to aid business and think constructively. Business. Net Politics With citizens aiming at the'mflUon population mark, he said, tt is high time they substituted business for politics. ’This would stamp out the source of stories being disseminated over the country, reflecting on the city’s population. “Can you conceive,” Beckett asked, “of the head of a great corporation, such as the city manager would be, announcing he had the resignation of sdme administrative officer, and then refusing to show it when the official denied writing K? I can not." That, however, is Dirvatl's position in the park board (flash, he said. Revival Suggested Beckett, a member of the committee of 1,000, composed of business and civic leaders of the city, working for the adoption of the city manager form of government, suggested such fiascos as the DuvaltJohnson scrap may precipitate a wave of righteous indignation that will sweep tho politicians out of power and put business executives in their place. He suggested the campaign of the committee he revived at once, after an intensive educational drive, and additional petitions asking a referendum on the form of government ho circulated and presented before the 1927 Legislature convenes. It 1s reported politicians will seek In the next session of the ture to take away from the voters the privilege of changing thetr form of government in Indianapolis, by repealing the part of tho law applying to first class cities. Conference Held Johnson was to confer with attorneys today to decide what steps he will take to retain his position. Both Manly and Maguire said they had received no request from Duvall for thetr resignations other than the verbal demand Thursday that they either refrain from adjourning or resign. “I hax’e tried to cooperate with Mayor Duvall In every way, hut I shall refuse to sacrifice my manhood and citizenship on the altar of politics,” Manly said. i PREFER OUR FILMS NEW YORK American-made films are supreme In Russia, according to Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Trust and Savings Banks. In a recent address'he declared that when Russian theater owners were told to show more Russian pictures, they closed their houses on days when Russian pictures were demanded by the government.

VAN NUYS HAILS SHUMAKER SLAM LAUDS GILLIOM, Tells Democrats People Are Tired of Havinq Courts Stiqmatized, Bu Ttmea Srterlnl FT. WAYNE. Tnd.. April 1 Praise for Attorney General Ollliom in his treatment, of the case of Dr. E. 8. Shumaker for criticising the State Supreme Court was voiced here Thursday night by Frederick Van Nuys, Indianapolis attorney. In the keynote address of the Twelfth district Democratic rally. “The people are tirtd of having our courts stigmatized by paid professional reformers. Van Nuys said. lie also demanded ftiat the Demo erotic party “stop pussy footing and ‘get down to business ” As an Individual “T am speaking here tonight, as an individual, and anything which I may say is no wlfte binding upon my party or any of its candidates,” Van Nuys said, “I want, therefore, to carry the observations made about bureaucratic government a little farther. This easily recognized spirit of protest which has possessed the American people is not alone confined to governmental activities. I am confident that. 1 give voice to a sentiment, often expressed in my presence hy members of both political parties. In saying that, the voters of thin State are sick and tired offhaving our *pla.t forms written, candidates bluffed and cowed, our courts stigmatized and our morals regulated by groups and blocs and paid professional reformers who capitalize onr homely virtues. Praises Fearlessness “He is a Republican, but I compliment tonight the fearlessness of the present attorney general of Indiana In recently calling attention to the extremes to which we are drifting. ”1 refer to the charges of contempt filed with the Supreme Court against the present superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. ”1 belong*" to a profession which stands for law end order. Tt Is part of the business of a lawyer to assist. In the administration of equal and exact justice. To that end, K !s his business to assist the different de*. partments of the government in framing and interpreting and enforcing the law. I do not conceive that amy lesser duty rests upon every good citizen of the State. You can not tear away the foundation arid expect the superstructure to stand, and any attempt, growing out of impatience or Intolerance, by an individual or an organization, to withdraw confidence in our courts or to coerce the same, ought to be recognized and dealt with as a cankerus growth upon the life of the nation. Too Many Bloca “I say we are surfeited today hy groups and cliques and blocs, which attempt to regulate everybody's* business, coerce candidates anfT dictate the affairs of State. This Is probably our own fault. We are a nation of joiners today. We move en masse. Individuals who think for themselves and have nerve enough to give expression to what they think are a. rarity today.” W. E. Eiekhoff. of Ft. Wayne, who is unopposed for the Democratic nomination for Congress from the district, came out for modification of the Volstead act to permit the sale of light wine and beer. The Volstead law, he said, has created a nobility of bootleggers, whose'evil Influence staggers the Imagination.
