RETURN LIQUOR, MINUS SALOON, PLEAJNHOUSE Judiciary Head Declares 10 Years of Prohibition Have Been Futile. By United Prt se WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.—Congressional hearings opened on prohibition today with a vigorous statement by Chairman Graham of the house judiciary committee that freedom of decision as to drink must be restored to the American people. Some method should be devised which restores liquor without restoring the saloon system. Graham told the large crowd gathered in a house caucus room for the first comprehensive hearing on prohibition ever conducted by a house committee. Meeting Was Surprise As chairman of the committee In charge of prohibition legislation, Graham called the hearings on his own responsibility two weeks ago. surprising members of his own committee as well as the house. Five members of the house who have introduced resolutions to repeal or modify the eighteenth amendment were summoned to explain their proposals. “The eighteenth amendment and the enforcement law have been tested for ten years without satisfactory results,” said Graham. “Enforcement has left a train of consequences most deplorable and depressing to every patriot. Killings amounting to more than 1,360 have resulted in the last ten years from enforcement. One hundred and fifty-one citizens were killed by prohibition officers and sixty-four agents were killed by citizens. Arrests Mounting “In one year there were 77,351 arrests for violations, alleged or real. During the first year under prohibition there were 29,000 cases instituted, and during the last fiscal year there were close to 70,000. The prison population has jumped 4 per cent per 100,000 in the last five years.” Dry members of the committee insisted that a time limit be set on the hearings and that their scope be definitely defined. It was decided after considerable discussion to take up these questions in executive session.

ASSAILS MOVE TO KILL JURY SYSTEM

Public Resentment Caused by Procedure Defects, Says Woman Jurist. Current attacks on the jury system were assailed by Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio supreme court in addressing a luncheon of the

Indiana League of Women Voters at the Ciaypool j today. Idea of the abandonment of the jury trial in petit cases was advanced in the Wicker sham report on prohibition, made at the instance of President Hoover. This idea meets with hearty disapproval from Mrs. Allen the only woman supreme court jus-

tice in the United States. “We now are confronted with the hue and cry for the abolition of the system of trial of cases by petit jury,” Judge Allen declared. “The law’s delays, the cumbersome and technical features of our judicial system, which too often; have proved a hindrance to the genuine establishment of justice, have created a natural resentment in the public mind. “One or two outstanding cases of faulty verdicts rendered by juries have crystallized that public resentment into an attack upon the jury system and we find lawyers and laymen imputing to jury trial, disadvantages which should be ascribed to entirely different features of our judicial organization. “The irritating and unjustifiable postponement of cases which cause great money loss to witnesses and litigants, the waste of time through IF BACK HURTS BEGIN ON SALTS Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally by Drinking Quarts of Good Water No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority.

ECONOMY MOVE BY CIIT ASKED Storehouse Is Proposed by Safety Board Head. Creation of a city storehouse to make possible an accurate check on stock and supplies was proposed today by Charles R. Myers, safety board president, in a conference with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Myers pointed out the need for a “city storekeeper” to make periodic inventories of supplies to prevent theft of cjty goods. All departments would keep supplies in the common storehouse, obtaining sufficient quantities for immediate needs. “That is the way a big business concern would operate,” Myers declared. “It would save money for all departments of the city government.” Under the present plan, all departments requisition materials independently and only meager records are kept of supplies by departmental clerks. Numerous instances of loss of supplies have been reported.

unwarranted reversals of judgments upon technicalities, for instance, are not ascribable to the jury system. “They are due entirely to our failure to remedy tne defects of general trial procedure. “Abolition of the jury system would rcb us of an age-old bulwark of human freedom. Abolition of the jury system merely would intensify the popular distrust of our administration of justice. Abolition of the jury system would eliminate the most direct opportunity that we have in the state and in the nation for connecting the individual with the administration of his own government. “The fact that the right of trial by jury is given by the federal and state Constitutions as one of the rights that shall remain inviolate to the citizen, is most significant in connection with the claim that the jury should be dispensed with and all questions of fact be submitted to judges.” Woman, 93, Buried DODDRIDGE CHAPEL, Ind., Feb. 12.—Funeral services were held today for Mrs. Mary Ann Wright, 93, who would have reached her 94th birthday in March.
