By Associated Press: NEW YORK, June 1.-- A clerical error as a result of which congress passed the annual agricultural appropriation with the Comer amendment included may result in the New York cotton exchange remaining closed until legal difficulties regarding the contract under which trading is carried on can be overcome.

Then will be no direct r t r nee to tin liquor question in the r-pubiican r.a tional platform. That is the only plattorm i lank that has virtually b -n ;mre l on b the leaders in advance of th- convention. Strictly speaking, it will not be a liquor plank; but a law enforcement plank. The words "intoxicatin-: liquor;"' "temperance" and all kndtad expressions are to he kept out of the platform altogether; There will bf id reference to th national irohibition amendment or the o!.-teail prohibition enforcement law b name. The platform will declare that th" republican party is a party ol la.w entorcenient and that it stands for tho enforr'nient of all laws or: th staa;te books. This means, of course, that it stands for th enforcement of the nationil jiroliibition Uw ulthough; as stated, there will be no place in th' latform where specilic mention will b- mad of tlu; Volstead law. Tak Middle (auirso. In striving to reneh a conclusion as ttt what attitude the party should take hi regard to the liquor qu-s-tbol the leaders have been between two contending forces and thvy havr elected to lake a middle course, On the vW hand the ultra prohibitionists hae Insisted that the party shall go on record specifically against any modification of the Volstead law nnd vigorously upholding prohibition as a national policy. On the other hand an amply tlnnnced propagamlu was launched niuntiis .ago for the purpose of trying to commit ithev cr both of tho parties to a poli y of p rmittlnt- tho manufacture and sale of light wlr.es and bei r. An att mjt has been made to show that them is a mark d and popular reaction against drastic enforcement. particularly in nsptct of the liht beverages. Tho advance agents of the "wets" who came here early to g t a line on the platform situation and who have received an intimation that the platform will declare fur law enforcement and nothing more denounce the proposed plank as a 'straddle" and they ar preparing t move on to San Francisco, where th' hope to havo better luck at tht democratic national convention. No IW-ttcr Luck In Store. There they are not likely to meet with any better luck. The democratic: national committee, and that means the democratic party leadership, is dead against the adoption of any sort of a plank declaring for a modification of national prohibition. To llcvkon wltli Hrjan. William J. Hryan, who will be a moral r of the San Francis. committee on resolutions and probably of the sub-commltti e that will draft the platform will throw the whole weight of his powerful influence, not only in tho committee but later on In the convention, against a declaration of policy giving the slightest encouragement to any phase of the liquor trathc. He is much more interested in keepinc the nation bone dry than he is in the succ ss of thdemocratic party. He would like to force the party to take a positive position against any attempt to riso tho prohibition law. but It Is understood he will be wil'.ir.tr to compromise on a "silence pro-ram"' on the theory that when the states ratified the prohibition constitutional amendment the iivjuor question was settled and Is no longer an issue. It is a safe guess that the ld"or question will occupy the same si arc in the l.mocratic platform to be adopt d at San Francisco that it will oo upy in th r publican platform adopted three weeks earlier at Chicago. That will bo exactly no space at all.

Sophomores Beat Faculty Tuesday in Seven Innings

Science, mathematics and history were found to bo of little use Tuesday afternoon when tho South Uend high school sophomores defeated the faculty nine by a score of 4 to 2, at Pottowatomie park. The Laseball game ras the big feature of the lirst picnic ever held by the High school. The tilt was called at the seventh round as the tutors found themselves weakening under the strain, and besides their stomachs were ' giving away under the fumes oMhe hot dogs sizzling near by. Physical Director, Burnham, pitched for the pedagogues, and It was his superior steam that kept the score down. Much credit must also be given to Prof. Hinton, of chemistry, who held down the second eack, also Itoscoe McCoy, prominent bug man, who performed some remarkable base running and made no errors at the initial base. Others who displayed a poorlyspent youth with possibly a ball and bat in their hands most of the time, were Profs. Finch and Osborne. Osborne, assistant principal, who is usually rather stingy In giving admits, was given two passes by Smith; the soph pitcher who seems to believe in doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Uroaking suddenly on the proverbial dicnlty of the senate Just after Sen. Urandegee had referred to "the ravishes of the Hun." a woman's shrill voice from the gallery startled senators and attendant? alike. As the woman shouted "Why not eject the Fnglish Hun from Ireland?" gallery guards made a rush in her direction, while the strident command from Vice Pres't Mars-hall to "put her out" led instantly to heckling from other parts of the gallery. For a moment a whirlwind of questions swept down from the pillories, while the vice president, laying aside his gavel, shouted sharp peremptory orelers to the attendants to remove the women. Moanwhile. Sen. Urandegee. still holding his ground, waited patiently for order. Spectators who took no part in the outbreak seemed more startled than the members. Order finally was restored and the senate went back to Its work. Word that the hecklers had Invaded the senate reached the house hefore the women started the second performance. It did net serve, however, to krep them out. for one young woman slifpod through the cloak room doors, planted herself In the main aisles and suddenly screamed ' Cowards." Scream Question. That was all she said, hut it was enough. Instantly her companions in the gallery began screaming a vollev of questions, all relating to the Irish situation.
