PROHIBITION IS . 10-YEAR-OLD ISSUE TODAY Dry Statute's Anniversary Finds Congress Working on Enforcement. NO OBSERVANCE SLATED Checkup of Record Shows 250 Lives Lost and Millions Spent. BY THOMAS L. STOKES I'nit.d Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.—Nationrl prohibition, called by President Hoover a “noble experiment.” cele brated its tenth anniversary today, with congress beginning work upon an elaborate program designed co take it further from the experimental stage. No special observance was scheduled here. That, it still is in the experimental stage is demonstrated by the legislative program submitted to improve enforcement after ten years—a program comprehensive and sweeping. The recommendations were submitted because of a previous controversy, started by drys, over the effectiveness of enforcement. Ten years ago today there were many “hang-overs” in every part of the country from farewell celebrations incident to the new dry era. Even staunch prohibitionists admit today there still is plenty of liquor available. Each Side Positive In rongress and out, wets insist the law never will be enforced. In congress and out, drys insist it can be enforced. Dry organization leaders say the ten-year test has come up to their most optimistic expectations. Today, it is at least certain, the country is face to face with its greatest drive to get this law enforced. No one can foresee what the ultimate solution of the experiment will be, but the congress which now is considering a program for better enforcement is preponderantly dry, in fact the drvest of any since the law went on the books. Modification any time soon seems out of the question, if ever. Four Presidents President Harding said prohibition would be a political issue tor thirty years Four Presidents have had to cope with the problem in ten years beginning with President Wilson, who vetoed the Volstead act, but was overridden by congress. National prohibition administrators nave been few, but their lot has been a troublesome one. Roy A. Haynes of the Harding administration was succeeded by BrigadierGeneral Lincoln C. Andrews in the Coolidge administration. The latter who took charge in 1925, with Haynes still sharing authority until May, 1927, gave up the job a few menths later, after he had light teer as a solution before a special senate committee. Responsibility now is divided between Prohibition Commissioner James M. Doran, who entered the government service twenty-three years ago as a chemist, and Seymour P Lowman. assistant secretary of the treasury. They will be shorn of responsibility if congress transfers enforcement to the justice department as asked by President Hoover. Costs Taxpayers Federal prohibition enforcement has cost the taxpayer a grand total of $264,475,384 for the ten years, according to treasury estimates. Incident to its enforcement, 250 persons have been killed, according to treasury figures, of which 182 • wvre citizens and 68 government agents. The prohibition bureau has doubled its forces in ten years. It started with about 2,000 clerks and agents. Now there are 4.664 employes of all classes. If administration recommendations are carried out, this number will be increased and the cost be larger, proportionately. RUM FEUD COSTS LIFE War Veteran Slain in Home by Rival Bootlegger'-.

DEFEAT MOVE TO INCREASE SUGARTARIFF Senate Votes for Harrison Resolution Eliminating 25 Per Cent Hike. SAVING IS $54,000,000 Low Duty Advocates Win Despite Defection of G. 0. P. Solons. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—The proposal to Increase the tariff on sugar 25 per cent from 1.76 cents a. pound to 2.20 cents a pound was defeated in the senate today. An amendment proposed by Senator Pat Harrison (Dem., Miss.) was adopted, eliminating the raise written Into the bill by the Republican majority on the senate finance committee. Harrison contended the boost would cost the American consumers $54,000,000 more a year on their sugar bills, while advocates of the committee action, including Chairman Reed Smoot of Utah, claimed the increase was necessary to protect the lagging American sugar industry. The vote was 48 to 38 for the Harrison amendment. The low sugar tariff advocates won, despite the defection in farm ranks, when eastern Republicans from consuming states supported the Democratic amendment. The senate action does not end the fight. The house adopted a rate of 2.40 cents a pound in the tariff bill, which it passed last spring. The difference between that rate and the present law now is an issue to be ironed out when committees representing each house get together, after the senate finally passes the tariff bill. Compromises usually are effected in such cases and it is possible that the bill yet may carry a substantial increase over existing law, when it finally is passed and sent to the White House.

OPPOSE ABOLITION OF BIG WARSHIPS

U. S. Unlikely to Agree to MacDonald Suggestion for Parley. Bv United Press ABOARD S. S. GEORGE WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—1n all probability, the United States will not be able to agree to the abolition of battleships as suggested by Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald. Furthermore, while the American delegation which arrives at Plymouth late tonight or early Friday morning, would agree, it is indicated, to the extension of the life of battleships for another five years, they will be inclined to oppose cutting the battleship from 35,000 to 25,000 tons. The United States favors the abolition of the submarine as a world ideal but it appears certain France and possibly others will refuse. The nations favoring the submarine may be ready to agree at the London five-power naval conference to limit the total submarine tonnage but so far. they have shown no signs of favoring a restriction in size. It was advocated at the Washington conference in 1921-22 that submarines be prohibited from use as destroyers of commerce. A treaty to that effect was signed but it never became effective due to the failure of France to ratify. AGENTS RAID ‘EXCHANGE’ Arrest Three.

M., Jan. 16.—The slight hope that Maury Graham, air mail pilot, missing since last Saturday, might be found alive, was fading rapidly today. Possibility that he was injured when his plane came down in a blinding snowstorm, the severeness of the weather in the district where he must have struck, and the limited supply of food he carried, all tended to eliminate the expectation that he might be safe. Weather conditions, which made continued air search impossible early today, seemed to wipe out the last chance of finding him alive.

COLD BRINGS SUFFERING AS RAMPAGING FLOOD WATERS RISE TO NEW RECORD LEVELS Red Crosss, National Guard Units Start Relief Measures to Aid Hundreds Rendered Homeless by Deluge. LEVEE BREAKS PERIL VINCENNES Wabash Mounts to 25 Feet, Far Above 1913 High Mark; All of Decker Township Is Inundated by Collapse of Dam. A cold wave, with temperatures that will sink tonight to near zero, today brought intense suffering to hundreds of persons whom floods in Indiana have rendered homeless. Relief measures were under way in southern Indiana, where the high waters have caused greatest devastation. The American Red Cross was administering to many refugees at Terre Haute and Vincennes. Adjutant-General Manford H. Ilenley sought permission from the war department at Washington to use national guard tents and other equipment in relief work in the Vincennes area.

The state board of health feared contamination of water at Vincennes, because of the flood, which may threaten the city with a serious health condiuon. L. S. Finch, chief engineer of the health board, went with two assistants to erect emergency chlorinating systems in the stricken city for use in event contaminated waters get into the pumping system. Smallpox had begun to spread in the Oklahoma district of Vincennes, and the city prison will be taken over for use as an emergency hospital. Dr. William King, in charge of state health service, advised per- ' mission be obtained for use of army j blankets from Jeffersonville for ! refugees whose homes are under water. Meanwhile new high flood marks were established as swirling waters of the Wabash and White rivers mounted above disastrous levels of 1913, and continued to rise. ( Reaches Record Mark At’ Vincennes the Wabash stood at twenty-five feet today, one foot above the 1913 high mark. However, weather bureau authorities pointed out that the twenty-four-foot level during the great flood of 1913 was reached after levee beraks alowed much water to flow over lowlands. A sea of w r ater ten miles long and seven miles wide was creeping on Vincennes from the south today as the result of the w'orst levee break of the recent flood, which occurred two miles north of Decker Wednesday night. The Plass levee, protecting lowlands on the west side of Plass ditch, a canal diverting water of the Du Chee river from the Wabash to the White river, gave way. White river had backed up in the ditch until the levee could hold no longer. The water rushed through the break, spreading over Knox county. Under Four Feet One hundred families were homeless as the result of the break, which inundated all of Decker township. U. S. 41. was under four feet of water in the flooded districts today, and fear was held for the three-mile $850,000 Hazelton All, where national guardsmen were stationed Wednesday to guard against alleged threats of dynamiting. Belief that the fill was damming up water, threatening inundation of thousands of acres of lands, is said to have inspired residents to consider blasting the fill to relieve pressure. State highway engineers declared the fill did not act as a dam, althought the water on one side was eighteen inches higher than on the other side of the embankment. Albert J. Wedeking, chairman of the state highway commission, and Charles Parrish, commission public j relations head, went to Hazleton today to inspect the fill. More than j a foot of water swirled over the ' pavement late this morning. Added Menace Arises An added menace to the fill arose late Wednesday when a strong northwest wind started a backwash against the levee on the lower side. Workmen strove frantically today to save the embankment. White river at Princeton was rising ha;f an inch an hour today, but still was three feet below the 1913 level. Hundreds of chickens in flood regions have taken refuge in tree tops, where they will starve to death unless rescued, since the crest of the flood probably will not be I rea'hed until Friday. White river in the Washington district was at a standstill today. Ft. Wayne today reported that Maumee. St. Joe. and St. Mary’s rivers reached their crest, after I many families were forced to vacate their homes in lowlands. Three schools were closed because of high j waters. The Wabash began to recedee this morning at Logans port. A hundred families were homeless. About sev-enty-five homes were isolated by floods at Delphi.

situation becomes serious was made to Governor Harry G. Leslie and Adjutant-General Henley today by Lieutenant O. F. Heslar, commanding officer of the third area of the naval reserve corps. Several hundred persons were lodged in city buildings at Wabash today after floods drove them from their homes. Huntington reported recession of flood waters of the Wabash river. The body of Isaac Benton, 79, retired school teacher, was taken from flood waters at Yankeetown on Wednesday. It is believed he committed suicide. Anderson and Noblesville were out of danger from further flood as White river receded today. Patrol City Levees Although it had fallen one and one-half feet since Wednesday, White river was patrolled today by city employes, watchful for signs of a levee break that might render serious flood conditions here. No rupture is expected, city engineers said, and sufficient force is available to check a gap before it could cause any damage. A cold wave, with zero temperatures, was to arrive today, according to J. H. Armington, United States weather bureau meteorologist, and probably will aid in the battle to keep the river in its channel. Levees at Warfield and in the southwestern part of the city, weakened by water, may freeze to form a natural barrier to the river. Friday will be fair, and continued cold, according to the forecast. Saturday will bring rising temperatures, but not above freezing, Armington said. State highways in the southern Indiana flood regions were blocked by water in many places, according to reports from the state highway department.
