Women to Make National Survey of Speakeasies

Organization Is Formed to Learn Effects of Dry Law. BY DOROTHY MAHONEY United Press Special Correspondent NEW YORK. July I.—A comprehensive survey of speakeasies to ascertain whether they are more numerous than were the saloons of pre-prohibition days and a canvass of workingmen's wives to find out if conditioas have improved since prohibition will be the initial tasks of the Women's Organzation for National Prohibition Reforms, according to Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, its organizer. She resigned as a member of the Republican national committee recently to enter the new organization. Mrs. Sabin's organization, she declared, hopes that when the commission investigating enforcement of all laws comes to the point of the enforcement of the prohibition law, her group may be allowed to appear before the commission and “give them some of the facts we will have found as a result of our investigation. " Outlines Future Work “The idea of our organization,” Mrs. Sabin said, “came from the number of letters we received from mothers expressing their anxiety about the number of young people who are drinking, and their belief that the eighteenth amendment is the principal cause.” Mrs. Sabin, charming in a green | silk ] . t frock which enhanced her blom. eauty, sat behind a massive j mahci. y desk and gave her views on prohibition while outlining her future work. ' We will form committees in different localities which will find out •vhether there are more speakeasies in certain specified communities ; than there were licensed saloons in former days, and if so, how many,” she said. "We wall have investigators in industrial tow-ns to find out from the wives of workingmen w’hether or not i they feel that conditions have improved since prohibition. 1 “We will ascertain from high 1 school teachers their opinion as to the effect of the national prohibition law upon these high school children i in regard to law and order. We will 1 do the same with the heads of colj leges. Form State Councils “We are forming advisory councils in each state, which will provide supervision and general management for that particular state. There are now over thirty states in which we have formed an advisory i council. Among which are, Cali- | fornia. New Mexico, Oregon, Kan|sas, lowa. Nebraska. Illinois, Michj igan, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Mary--1 land. New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island. Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont, Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin. Minnesota and Vermont. “There has been a gradual change in the feeling of women toward the eighteenth amendment. This is based on what they themselves have seen regarding the effect of prohibition upon the younger generation. ; and the effect upon the hypocrisy of public officials. It is a fact that ! voir. America is drinking far more now ‘han ever before.” PILOTS ART SCHOOL New Director at John Herron School Takes Charge. Wilbur D.

BISHOP DRYS’ NEW TERROR OF CONGRESS Cannon Fights to Hold Post as Powerful Political Leader. SANK AL IN VIRGINIA Plays Stock Market But Gives Most of Profits for the ‘Cause.’ BY RODNEY DUTCHER, NEA Service Writer (Copyright. 1929, NEA Service, Ine.l WASHINGTON, July 1. When Wayne B. Wheeler died everyone speculated as to who would take his place as the outstanding leader of the drys and the terror of congress. Few guessed right. It has turned out to be the Bishop of Africa. The Rev. James Cannon Jr., who has bishoped for the Methodist Episcopal church South in Africa, Mexico, Cuba and Brazil now is fighting to retain and strengthen his position as one of the country’s most powerful political factors. The drys needed someone to handle congress. Cannon simply stepped into the job and took on the task of beating candidate A1 Smith in Cannon’s state of Virginia and other southern states. Carried Virginia for Hoover He carried Virginia for Hoover and has now set up a state ticket there to defeat the regular Democratic candidates in this year’s election because they remained loyal to the party candidate in the presidential campaign. Because Senator Carter Glass bitterly opposed Cannon’s strenuous anti-Smith efforts, the bishop expects to drive him out of public life when Glass comes up for re-elec-tion in 1930. Like Wheeler, Bishop Cannon is not especially impressive in appearance. He is about 5 feet and 9 inches tall and is 64. He wears rimless gold spectacles and his hair is rather sparse. His face has been somewhat drawn since he nearly died from a fever which he contracted while taking shelter in an African hut during a storm. He talks slowly, distinctly and as if with complete authority, for he was once a school teacher. No ‘Redeeming Vice* The bishop doesn’t smoke, of course, and another Anti-Saloon League leader remarks that he “hasn’t a single vice.” He reads everything except poetry and fiction. When he writes he writes with the utmost verbosity. His public statements run to almost unbelievable lengths. He travels much. Only recently he returned from the Mediterranean and the Holy Land, where he was sent by the Christian Herald as a reward for his effectiveness against A1 Smith. He has averaged two European trips a year for the last nine years. Lately it has become known that this practical, go-getting bishop for years has been playing the stock market. He also has made profitable investments in real estate and other projects. Gives Savings to ‘Cause’ But what may take the curse off this business is the story one hears that Cannon has sunk nearly all the money he has ever made in the furtherance of his causes. “I have spent practically all I ever saved or made —approximately moi-e than $60,000 —for the cause.” Bishop Cannon said last year. He has attacked the administration as cheerfully as he attacked the Catholic church in the campaign. Cannon graduated from the Princeton Theological Seminary and entered the ministry in Virginia. He was president of the Blackstone college for girle from 1914 to 1918, when he was elected a bishop. He has served as chairman of many religious boards and conferences unconnected with prohibition, and was editor of the Christian Advocate for fourteen years. As superintendent of the Virginia Anti-Saloon League from 1910 to 1919 he put over the Virginia dry laws and rose to political power. Bishop Cannon is chairman of the Anti-Saloon League’s national legislative commission, of the exexutive committee of the World League Against Alcoholism and of the Board of Temperance and Social Service of the Methodist Episcopal church.

Bourbon Scene of Gathering in Tribute to Former Town Institution.

By Times Special BOURBON, Ind., July I.—A memorial was dedicated here Sunday in honor of the “old town pump” before 3,000 residents and former residents of this town of about 1,000 population. Never before the history of the United States has such a memorial been erected, its only rival is the monument at Strasbourg, in AlsaceLorraine, dedicated to the originator of “pate de foie gras” goose livers. To Mrs. Mate Frash Powell, one of the founders of the South BendBourbon Club, is given credit for this unique idea. The memorial is about ten feet high and is at the intersection of Main street and United States Road 30, -where the original pump, erected in 1844, stood more than thirty years ago. The pump and trough has been | reproduced in Indiana limestone | one-third the original size. A base of native northern Indiana boulders has been carried out in true style of the early stone masons and ‘ a danger light tops the entire structure. It is so placed that it can be seen by thousands that pass annually on the Lincoln highway between Ft. Wayne and Chicago. A bronze plate and box has been installed in the side of th stateue containing names of the 2,000 donors to the memorial fund. It is a tribute to an institution of other days that prompted these persons to contribute to a fund that would preserve for all time the memory of a pas tsmall town institution. To their way of thinking it was something more than a wooden machine that lifted water from hidden springs. The town pump was the center for social gatherings and a place of refreshment for man and beast. Business men met and discussed problems of the day and farmers discussed crop and weather conditions. Housewives gathered not only to chat of this and that, but for cool, sparkling water. Love affairs prospered from the simple courtesy of an offer to work the pump handle or j carry the pail.

Gary Man Given Custody of Daughter After Two Years Litigation. Bit Times Special VALPARAISO, Ind., July I.—After a bitter legal contest extending over two years, Peter Boras, Gary restaurant proprietor, has won custody of his aughter Betty, 4, through a decision in Porter circuit court here, by Judge Grant Crumpacker. The child’s mother and Boras separated four years ago. Later the mother died, and for two years Boras was unable to find the child, but finally discovered it here in the custody of Mrs. Boras’ parents. He sued to obtain custory, but was strongly opposed by “in-laws,” who contended that he was not the child’s father. Mrs. Lulu Gradford, aunt of the little girl, was given custody as a result of the suit. Recently Boras appeared before Judge Crumpacker asking that the child be given to him. He declared he had no criticism to make of the care being given by Mrs. Bradford, but craved to have his little daughter with him. In announcing his decision for the father, Judge Crumpacker said: “A father has a right to the love and companionship of his own child.” POSTPONE OPERATIC)N ON DR. E. S.

This was the word given by himself to his wife here in a long distance telephone call Sunday night.
