MURRAY URGES LIQUOR CONTROL BY THE STATES Alfalfa Bill’s Surprise Proposal Ignored by AntiSaloon League. By i fisted Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Offl-ciaia of the Anti-Saloon League decided today to ignore the startling speech of Governor William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray, who went before the dry organization’s convention Monday night with the suggestion that a retreat from prohibition might be necessary. Murray’s plan for regional liquor control among the states was described by p. Scott Mcßride, superintendent of the league, as an old wet argument with no new phase except the method of controlling the liquor within states. Mcßride said the Oklahoma Governor, introduced as a dry leader, had repudiated his own convictions by deviating from his prepared speech. Heralded as a dry champion, with the “God bless you Bill” of William David Upshaw of Georgia, resounding in his ears, Murray proposed a system of treaties between states or groups of states and the federal government. These treaties would regulate interstate commerce In liquor, barring it from such states as chose to retain prohibition. As soon as Murray had finished his speech the league’s executive 1 committee met in excited session to draft a reply. This was to be made public today. Frowns on Repeal The frock-coated Governor made it clear he was not advocating immediate change. His plan, he said, is a “possible plan” well within the Constitution. He would not repeal the eighteenth amendment. The speech was a total surprise to the delegates, but apparently not to the dry leaders. There was evidence that they had advance information on what Murray w T as going to say, since virtually every speaker preceding him denounced the general ideas he was to put forward later. As speech after speech attlcked the regional control idea, Murray grew redder and redder above his unwonted starched collar, and fidgeted about in his chair. Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington then summed them all up. Referring to the “half-slave, ! half-free” days before the Civil war. he said: “If the government today provided a group of liquor and nonliquor states we should have that identical situation—only worse.” For State “Treaties" Asa result of the attempts to knock down his speech in advance, Murray digressed from the prepared text. He toned down many parts of it, but told newspaper men afterward that he personally stood by every word of the original. He said he wanted nothing done now, nor until the economic situation returns to normal and people are able to discuss prohibition without prejudice or passion. His plan provides: % A series of treaties among the states by groups. Under federal supervision, adjacent states desiring wine and beer would sign a treaty; states legalizing only beer would have another; bone dry states would ' have their treaties. Interstate commerce in alcoholic beverages would be forbidden except among those groups sanctioning the particular beverage involved. ‘Punch Drunk' Alibi Wins By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 19 —Gus Rum- 1 las has given America its best 5-cent alibi.

Dog-catching in Indianapolis will be a sinecure for the next month or two. The reasons are: 1. The dogs won’t know when the dog-catcher is near, because of the new pound car, shown in the upper photo. 2. Prince Pal (inset photo), the dog-catcher’s friend, finds the cushions so soft irt the new Black Maria for the bow-wows that he sleeps deep and forgets to give warning barks to his fellows whenever .the pound’s car is foraging for prisoners. Money from pound fees enabled Dr. Elizabeth Conger, pound mistress, to purchase the new car. CONCERT TALK ON AIR Symphony Orchestra Broadcast To Be Discussed.

POLITLCS JAMS ENACTMENT OF HAWAIIAN LAWS Special Assembly Tries to Pass Remedial Police Measures. BY DAN CAMPBELL United Staff Correspondent HONOLULU, Jan. 19.—Political maneuvering in the territorial legislature today apparently was intended to block part of the remedial police legislation which legislators were asked to approve in special sessioh. A measure designed to give most of the power now held by Sheriff Patrick Gleason to a police chief appointed by a police commission was passed in both houses after the first reading, but a companion measure calling for an appointive city and county attorney was sidetracked temporarily. The second suggestion was introduced in the senate but did not appear in the house at the first meeting of the special session. Speaker Roy A. Vitousek of the house said he didn’t know how any of the members stood on the bill and added “in fact I don’t know how I stand.” Governor Lawrence Judd introduced six measures aimed to clean up Hawaii and make the islands “safe for women.” The action was taken at the suggestion of leading citizens who demanded correction of conditions brought to internanational attention by the arrest of Mrs. Grace Hubbard Fortescue, lxer son-in-law, Lieutenant Thomas H. Massie, and two naval enlisted men on charges of killing Joseph Kahahawai, Hawaiian. The latter had

OLAYA DENIES MELLON TALK Colombian President Says Conference Is Myth. By United Press WASHINGTON. June 19. A cablegram from President Olaya of Colombia was read to the house judiciary committee considering impeachment proceedings against Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, denying that Mellon ever discussed with him the matter of oil concessions. Representative Patman (Dem., Tex.), who brought the impeachment bill against Mellon, had charged that the treasury secretary discussed the granting of the Barco oil concession with Olaya. when the latter visited Washington. Later the concession was calidated by Colombia and now is largely controlled by the Gulf Oil Company, said to be a Mellon concern. In the senate investigation of foreign loans efforts were made to show that loans to Colombia were held up by New York bankers until the concession was validated.
