Damp Idea Swedish Liquor System Is Bar to Saloon. Senate Is Told.

flu I H'frrl rre ** "lIT ASHINGTON Ma- 10 A W twentieth amendment to thr Constitution permitting states at their option to sot a form of liquor control similar to th* Swedish Brat? system was advocated today by John M Morehead, United States minister to Sweden, in testimony before a senate judiciary subcommittee. The commi’tee (s considering the measure of Senator John Blaine 'Rep. Wis >. to modify the prohibition laws. Morehead said the Bratt system would be applicable to America because. like Sweden, it has an intelligent population and is an industrial country. Two years of study have convinced Morehead tha? th? Swedish system of restricted government liquor sales is the only answer to America's prohibition problem Adoption of the Swedish system would injure a?ainst return of the saloon and against an increase in the use of hard liquor. Morehead declared. He believed it would also curb bootlegging and gang warUnder the amendment proposed by Morehead, the slates alone would have the right to manufacture and sell liquor. Each state would be allowed to determine its own policy and experiment until it worked ou' what it wanted. three are released in luesse arrests State Has No C ase, Deputy Prosecutor Tells Judge, Three persons charged with inciting a riot as a result of a demonstration of the unemployed at the state-house April 25. were discharged today bv Municipal Judge William H Sheafler, who acted on a dismissal motion of Jacob Steinmetz, deputy prosecutor.

WORLD PEACE WILL HINGE ON FRENCH ACTION Herriot’s Victory Brings Up Question of Nation’s Foreign Policy. R> WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS *trlwi-Hiril Fvreira F.dllor * WASHINGTON, May 10— France's sweeping changes—a new prc.ident. anew premier, anew cabinet, and anew chamber of deputies—in the middle of one of ihe gravest crises in world history, are be.ng scanned eagerly here. There is dangerous u asion be*worn France and Germany; between France and Italy; between Germany and Poland, and between Japan and Russia. The world disarmament conference is in an impasse at. Geneva, and next month at Lausanne, the reparations and war debts question will come to a head Return of prosperity and preservation of world p-ace. in a large measure, depend upon a sane solution of these , problems, and France, in a large measure, admittedly holds the key to them ail. The question, therefore, is what effect Sundays defeat of the na'sonah.'t bloc of Premier Andre Tarritcu, and the victory of the "left” roup dominated by the radical Socialists of former Premier Edouard Herriot will have particularly on France's foreign policy.

Ilerriot Not a Radical The answer is probably very little. Herriot is neither a radical nor a Socialis* in the American sense, any more, for instance, than is Senator Robinson of Arkansas, or Senator Capper of Kansas. Herriot is as intensely patriotic as Tardicu. In his way he is just as nationalistic. While he is a taunch advocate of arms reduction -as is Tardicu, for that matter—it must be brought about without leaving France relatively weaker than she ”is now, that is to say by far the strongest power on the continent. He, like Tarriieu, Briand and other French leaders, holds that national security must come before, disarmament. "I prefer building barriers of steel, cement and bronze to stop enemy bullets,” he asserts with utmost vigor, ‘rather than having them stopped by the breasts of Frenchmen." Herriot can make the welkin rinc no less than Tardicu On the other hand, he probably comes nearer being the typicai Frenchman. He hails from Lyons, of which city he has b'-en mayor half his lifetime and Lyons is in the center and heart of Fiance. Would Prevent Invasion Herriot, therefore, is tired of the old quarrel between Germany and France. He would like to live in peace with Germany. But he is afraid of another invasion and is determined to prevent it if he can. “Mutual fear.” he declares axiomatieally. "creates the greatest number of conflicts between nations, just as it does between individuals.” so he sponsors a foTign policy calculated to remove fear and friction. Again, however, no one need expect him to go to extremes with this gesture of hands across the Rhine or the Alps. For ,ie won't. He is a liberal, but he is also a Frenchman

Policy Not to Be Changed With regard to reparations and , war debts, French policy is not ex- j pcctid to change, cither. Herriot 1 likes the United States, but is typically French, even in this particular weakness. He says America never has anything to do with Europe unless and until she has something to gain. Thus, if the Lausanne conference —which German Chancellor Bruening insists either will make or break the world -gets anywhere, other nations, rot Franc*'. must make the saenf'ers. if Harriot is at the helm. And that means if reparations are reduced, or canceled —and. Bruening Sunday reiterated Germany ran pay no more—the United States must reduce, or cancel, wrir debts.

BV JOSEPH MITCHELL Time* Milt Writer A TROUBLED young minister . hid in a thicket on the Platen island shore and gazed through spyglasses at an incoming freighter. As he watched an arrogant tug came alongside the ship Three women, sitting on the deckhouse of the tug, waved and shouted ribald greetings. When it came near enough, they tossed black flasks of whisky up to seamen on the aft deck of the freighter. It was a win’er afternoon, thirty-six years ago. The seamen shouted, caught the flasks, and tilted them. The women were giving away whisky to advertise a crimper's house, or a sailor's boarding house containing a barroom and dance hail. Water and Cherry streets were crowded with such establishments. From them seamen were shanghaied. The seamen threw the corks bark to the women. From the bridge the smiling captain watched. The tug followed the freighter. By the time the ship reached South street, the men would be tipsiiy anxious to begin spending their wages in the gin milla represented by the women. Men with wages for a year of-muscle-tearing work would empty their wallets in one frenzied eight and find themselves next iporning sleeping off laudanum and sum in another ship making a wear run. BBS THE scene disgusted the Rev. Archibald R. Mansfield, the minister in the thicket. ‘ I am going to put a stop to that." he said. That night, in hfs cramped living quarters above a dingy seamen's mission at 34 Pike street, the minister pondered over his situation. He was a recent graduate from General Theological Seminary. For a month, mainly for experience, he had been working on the waterfront, acting as chaplain of a tiny floating chuach ‘ built upon a barge. On his desk wajs a letter inviting him to become rector of a wealthy church in Kansas. He went downstairs. "I have deaidod to stay on the

The minister went to work. He wasted no words. A realist, he started out to construct dcc a nt boarding houses, shipping offices, medical stations for men of the oceans. He wanted to pay less attention to sermons. But each week he was compelled to conduct a strident, temperance meeting. The men in the congregation, enticed for an hour from the Cherry street saloons, always were boisterous. At the close of the sermon they would stumble up and. laughing heartily, sign the pledge. “There would be no need for sermons against drink if there was a decent lodging house on the beach with books and music ” the practical divine told his associates, "and if the sailors were given a chance to meet some reasonably respectable young women the port ladies would not be so well-to-do.” B B B THE minister, a broad-shoul-dered man. taller than six feet, became a familiar figure on the waterfront.

The dry league probably will experience great difficulty in its attempt to obtain a friendly plank. It may obtain a resolution, which will be straddling from the Republicans. but managers of that party also recognize the fact that prohibition will be a dominant issue next fall. All Governor candidates who expect to get any place will have to go moist and Lawrence F. Orr. accounts board head, who announced a week ago. has set the pace. tt an Orr's outspokenness on the subject of prohibition and utter lack of pussyfooting, a strange and refreshing departure, is causing comment i everywhere, and his demand for repeal of the Wright law is also interest ing.

“the skypilot of the waterfront." It was in this atmosphere, on "the most degraded waterfront m the world." that the zealous young dominie began his work. An eminently practical person, he interested financiers and wealthy ship owners in the downtrodden and oppressed seaman. Walking up and down in the office of a busy ship owmer, he would describe in extremely virile language a night in a crimp house. He usually came away with the help he went for. Soon he had established three boarding houses for seamen. He had succeeded in turning the Pike street mission into a home for deep-water men. At West and Houston streets there was a home for coasting western ocean men. At 21 Coenties Slip there was a home for harbor and canal sailors. On Sundays he went to every part of the harbor in the Floating Church of Our Savior. By 1900 he was the mast respected and most unpopular man on the water front. Seamen had seen him. a. strong man in clerical dress, pounding with a sledge hammer in his haste to construct the foundation for anew building. The crimps also had seen him. Severtl times a week he was threatened with -death. The crimps planned to shanghai him aboard a mule ship. He got the habit of saying to recognized crimps. “Go away! Don't threaten me with sudden death. I've got work to do." a tt a IN 1901 he changed his tactics. He opened a shipping office at State street, a brazen thing to do on a waterfront controlled by crimps and began to place a few men on small ships. The crimps lost the SSO to S2OO "Ulood money” they were in the habit of receiving each time a rr,an was signed on a vessel in New York harbor. They began to fight. They cracked the heads of the Jlev. Mr Mansfield's sailor friends. They picketed his office. One of his assistants, Alfred Childs, was

The militant minister persuaded the directors of the Union Castie line to let him sign on a crew for their Susquehanna. The ship was docked in Brooklyn. He gathered a sober cr<*w, took them across on the Atlantic avenue ferry. When they stepped off the ferry, a gang hired by the crimps rushed forward and drove them black, bleeding to the ferry. The men deserted the minister He got together another crew—men gathered from barrooms and dance halls all over the harborfront. He hid them in an express wagon and rattle them to the pier. Then he put them on a tug a ship owner had given him and took them out to the Susquehanna. evading the crimps waiting outside the dock gates. The ship sailed. The crimps lost their illegal fees.

The Rev. Archibald R. Mansfield

THE preacher's sailors never were sa.e. Men stood near the swinging doors of saloons, tossed barrel hoops around their shoulders when they came in for a drink and assaulted them. The police would do nothing. The old Fourth ward was protected by Tammany Hall. The minister interested young lawyers in taking the cases of seamen against crimps for experience. Franklin D. Roasevelt was one of the most vigilant of these lawyers. A year after he established his shipping office the Union Castle Line gave him authority to select the crews for all their ships. Other lines gave him the same privilege. It was the beginning of the end for the crimps. . . , Now the waterfront is free of crimps, of beach sharks, of shanghai masters. Long ago the ministers dingy mission became the Seamen's Church Institute of New' York. At 25 South street, it dominates the waterfront. In ports in the Orient, on the Mediterranean, in South America, the question. “Where are you going to bunk in New' York?” is ansAvered: 25 South street.” Each day there are more registrations at the institute than at

FALL FINISHES PRISON TERM; HEALTH GOOD Former Cabinet Member Returns to Ranch Mter 9-Month ‘Stretch.’ BV CLYDE C.. BYF.RS t nltrri Pr*** SM* Crr**n"<l*" SANTA FE. N. M.. May 10.— Albert B Fall, secretary of the interior in the Harding cabinet, prepared today to resume his life as a pioneer New Mexican rancher in his old home at Three Rivers ranch, after more than nine months spent in the New Mexico penitentiary. He completed his sentence of a year and a day, less time off for good behavior In the penitentiary, for conviction of taking a bride. At 1:25 p m. Monday, Fall, in a big limousine, speeded out o. the gates of the penitentiary here He left Santa F<* immediately for Three Rivers. His wife rode in th* machine with him. In a second auto which followed, were his two daughters. Mrs. Jouett Elliott and Mrs, C\ C. Chase, and Mrs. Chase's husband. Three Rivers, known throughout this state bv its Spanish name—• Tres Rios—-no longer belongs to fall. It now is owned by Edward L. Doheny. the oil man. acquitted of having given the bribe which Fall was found guilty of taking. Reporters and camera men who had gathered at the prison n.s Ihe time rame for Fall's release were disappointed in their hopes for a statement from the former cabinet member. His auto speeded by them, and no one had more than a brief gltpm.se of the former secretary. He earlier had responded to a request for a statement with the question: •What do they want to know—whether I've had a good time in here?” Fall, who entered the prison in a big black ambulance which he described as a “damned Hearse.” apparently was stronger when he left. Warden Ed Swope declared Fall was thinner, but stronger. He had been kept In the spacious hospital ward of the prison, under care of a doctor, during his entire term. He was permitted visitors, and sometimes sat in the sunshine on the prison porch. His food was prescribed by a physician. The former cabinet member completed his sentence Sunday, but wa* held over until the arrival from Washington of papers which per- . mitted his release without payment of the SIOO 000 fine which was assessed against him as part of his punishment. It had been thought for a time that Fall would have to swear a pauper's oath to escape payment of the fine. The ex-secretary refused ; to take such an oath, however. “I’ll be damned if I'll sign a ! pauper's oath,” he told‘officials.
