REJECTION OF WATSON MOIST PLAN REPORTED G. 0. P. Leaders Understood to Have Agreed on Another Plank. BY WALKER STONE Tune* Mali ffrllfr WASHINGTON. June 7 - A prohibition plan. slightly more than ’ " is understood to have been agreed upon by Republican party chieftains, and senate Majority Leader James E Watson is reported to have promised to propose it to the Indiana state Republican convention. prior to its adoption by the national convention at Chicago. At a conference of fifteen party leaders held at the Congressional Country' Club here Sunday, Watsons so-railed "mode! moist plank" ■ because it proposed a procedure too cumbersome. Watson's plan, which might well be described as "all things to all then," called for conventions in the various states to determine whether to petition congress to resubmit the eighteenth amendment ff repeal or modification Under h;s proposal, congress would resubmit the question. if and when petitions had been received from a sufficient number of state conventions. Each of the states would then have to hold a second convention, to determine whether to ratify the change, be it repeal or modification. It alo called for strict enforcement of prohibition, so long as it remains in the Constitution and denounced tiie "open saloon” as an enemv of society. The national prohibition plank, tentatively agreed to yesterday at the conference of party leaders, likewise expressed ‘ unalterable opposition" to the return of the saloon. and advocated "faithful enforcement" of all laws.

bread price increase waa "unwarranted." “Customers of independent stores who have supported us are turning to the chain stores to purchase their bread at a 3-ccnt reduction, and in consequence, are causing us a loss of trade." Steinberger said. He said his association believed no valid reason could be offered by the bakers for the increase, pointing out that other cities are holding to a 5-cent price. In the telegrams sent to congressional representatives from this district. the association declared wholesale bakers had reduced operating expenses prior to the increase in the price of bread. "Our profit.” Steinberger said, still is 1 cent on each loaf. The increase of the price does not affect our prafits and benefits only the baiters." Chain stores of the city continued to sell oread at 4 cents for a pound loaf today while the independents were forced to ask 7 cents for the same size loaf. Come on you Contest enthusiasts.

DELAYS ACTION ON PICKETING Council Maps Ordinance to Halt Stench Bombing. City councilmen last night, although unanimously agreed that the existing ordinance against picketing should remain in force, decided to wait two weeks before voting on a substitute ordinance. An ordinance aimed at the recent planting of stench bottles in the Indiana theater was introduced, to make possession and "planting" unlawful. Another ordinance prohibits throwing or depositing of reptiles, rodents or insects on the property of another. A fine of not less than S3OO or more than SI.OOO and imprisonment not exceeding six months is provided. Both ordinances will be considered at the next meeting. The council will hold a special meeting Wednesday noon to consider an ordinance for a SIOO,OOO 1 bond issue, sold tentatively last

week for Improvement of four streets. Attempt to pass it under suspension of the rules Monday night failed when Charles C. Morgan expressed opposition to award
