ORAiTIC CLOSE
OF SENATE INQUIRY
ON PROHIBITION
Canitol’s Largest Commit*
tee Room Is Not Large
Enough to Hold Crowd
That Gathered.
GEN. ANDREWS IS
AGAIN SUMMONED
Was One of the Pinal Wit
nesses for Drys—Russell
Lee Post Disputes Irv
ing Fisher’s Statement.
Washington, April 24.—(P>—Prose
cution and defense completed their
evidence today in tlie spectacular pro
hibition battle which has for three
weeks dwarfed the other activities of
t'.ie legislative branch of the govern
ment.
Only the summing up arguments
to be delivered during the nfternoon
remained before the sub-committee of
the Senate judiciary committee, which
lias conducted the hearings, takes the
record in hand to do with it what it
wishes.
The concluding day's scenes of ac
tion were transferred from the com
mittee room which has been used for
the hearings to the inurbie room of
the Senate office building, so that the
ever-increasing crowds which have
swarmed the capitoi hill might be ac
commodated.
Those who went there today say
that ns they began the arguments
closed with a wide gulf Separating
the opponents And proponents of the
prohibition mod : fieation.
Action today was swift, beginning
with a discussion of the use, of liquor
by Vale students, and ending with a
controversy between Senator Reed,
Democrat, of Missouri, and Chairman
Haireld, over tise Closing of the book
of evidence. Senator Harreld won.
Interspersed was a reiteration by
Assistant Secretary Andrews of the
Treasury that when he made his state
ment that it might be possible to help
enforcement by the regulated sale of
non-intoxicating beer, he had no idea
of advocating mollification of the
law he is charged with administering.
Washington, April 24.—OP) —Tbs
closing sebnes of (he Senate prohibi
tion inquiry were enacted today in a
afM I hn atmosphere that lifted j
the event far above the ordinary in
Congressional proceedure.
Although the Capitol's largest com
mittee room was pre-empted for the
day's final chapter of testimony nnd
argument, it could not accommodate
the crowd that gathered to see the
three weeks of tempestuous discus
sion come to their dramatic close.
Brig. Gen. Andrews, the prohibition
enforcement chief, was summoned
again to the committee room as one
of the final witnesses for the dry's,
but before he took the state the com
mittee heard Russell Bee Post, of
Hartford, Conn., chairman of the
Yale News, deny directly testimony
nbout conditions at the University
previously given by Prof. Irving
Fisher, called several days ago by
the drys.
Only a brief time remained for tes
timony before the closing argument
in which Julian Codman,* of Boston,
appeared as chief counsel for the wets
and Wayhe B. Wheeler of the Anti-
Saloon League, as spokesman for the
drys.
Gen. Andrews Does Not Advocate
Change of Law.
Washington. April 24. —(P)—Gen.
Lincoln C. Andrews, the dry law en
forcement chief, reiterated emphatic
ally today before the Senate prohibi
tion committee that he did not advo
cate a change of the law to permit the
sale of non-intoxicating beer.
“When you were on the stand a
few days ago. you were asked a ques
tion about the sale of non-intoxicat
ing beer,” said Charman Harreld.
“Now I want to ask a practical ques
tion, that is,'whether you think the
legalized sale of such. beer would be
possible without increasing the diffi
culties of enforcement of prohibi
tion?”
“I had in mind the home consump
tion of non-intoxicating beer or its
consumption in bona fide hotels,” An
drews replied. “I said the question
of distribution was vital. I said the
sale of such beer in saloons would be
disastrous.”
“You did not mean to advocate a
change of the law for the sale of such
beer?"
"I certainly did not.”
“Do you mean to change your testi
mony of the other day?” asked. Sen
ator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri.
"No, sir.”
Andrews explained that when Jiff
answered the original question he
had the thought that it was “un
fortunate that Mrs. Smith be per- '•
raitted to make elderberry wine in '
her home, and Mrs. Jones could not 1

Washington. April 24.—(P)—Am

LIQUOR SOLD UNDER
EAVES OK A CHURCH
One of Many Such Appealing Letters
Received by Gov. McLean.
Raleigh, April 24.—(P) —Liquor is
being sold bright under the eaves of
our church,” declares a letter received
by Governor McLean. The letter
was.written by a woman, the gover
nor said, but, at the writer's request,
lie did not make the name public.
The governor is requester! in the
letter to “please send some men here"
to put a stop to the present situa
tion, “for the sake of the church."
The letter is a fair sample of doz
ens the executive receives every week,
he said. Many people who face dif
ficult community problems feci that
the proper and only place' to take
their appeal is to the state’s chief
hkegutive.
(tome writers mak'e complaints
against officials, ami then neglect to
sign their names, in many instances.
One individual made all sorts of grave
charges, Indiscriminately, without in
dicating any proof, and sent the whole
communication through the mail on
a postal.
Requests for information of every
conceivable type come to the execu

“In employing men do you take on

asked Senator Harreld.
“I have never instructed my admin
istrators to inquire into « man's
views.” i
“Do you think men who do not
favor the law can be good enforce
ment officers?”
“Yes, I think men with a high
sense of duty, honor and love of coun
try make good enforcement officers.”
After General Andrews made Ills
statement about beer this statement
was made public by dry leaders':
“Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president;
Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, vice presi

REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
FROM TWO HEADQUARTERS
One Will Be in Raleigh anil the Oth
er in the W’estem Part of the
State.
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. April 24.—The Republi
can campaign this year probubly will
I be directed from two headquarters,
one in Raleigh ami another in the
( western part of the state, according
to reports current here yesterday, but
( definite information on this point may
not be made public until after the
I next meeting of the state executive
, committee, to be held May 20th in
the O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro.
The western office probably will be
1 the headquarters of Brownlow Jack
, son, state chairman, while the Raleigh
, office will be in the nature of a branch,
in charge of a trusted lieutenant or
vice chairman. Who will be chosen
to direct the campaign in the eastern
part of tile state from the Raleigh
’ branch is a matter for conjecture, but
. if Gilliam Grissom isn’t chosen, there
, ''"ill be some surprised Republicans in
, this section of the state, since he is
the only member of the committee
, living in Raleigh and, in addition, one
, J); the . Veterau wheel boeges of the
party ami n vote getter with few
| peers.
The appointment of this, nnd other
lieutenants, or vice chairmen, will be
made by Chairman Jackson, subject
to the ratification of the executive
c.immmittee, which makes it a prac
tice to accept the chairman’s selec
tions without question.
The May 201’.i meeting will, in real
ity, be the first session of the newly
named executive committee, since
nearly half the representatives at
Thursday’s meeting were hold-overs,
who still held their offices by reason
of the fact that congressional dis
trict conventions had not been held
for the appointment of successors.
This meeting saw the committee
irtembers .more of one iqind on ques
tions of moment, including that of
tlie nominee for United States Sena
tor, than in many years, according to
reimrts filtering back to Raleigh.
The serenity of the meeting was
marred by no squabbles whatsoever,
and the committee members left more
firmly convinced than ever that this
is going to be the closest to n Re
publican year that North Carolina
has seen in several decades.
While some committee members
were rather of the opinion, before the
meeting, that any candidate they
might choose for the senatorial race
should be commiserated as the pro
verbial lamb led to the slaughter, a
speech delivered by Johnson J. Hays,
of North Wilkes boro, in accepting
the nomination is said to have exposed
the fact that he intends to fight every
step of the long, hard road and, also,
to have stirred the fighting blood in
hpi listeners-to almost fever heat.
Referring to his early struggles to
Recure an education, Mr. Hayes de
clared. in that speech that he had,
early in life, formed the habit of ov
ercoming obstacles when he went af
ter a thing and that he intends to fol- •
low that life-long custom of his in'
j the race soon to get underway. He
I pledged himself to make a’ clean, hard
fight and to win, if victory were pos
sible, and he believes it is, without
ballot manipulation.
Some were for making the ap
proaching campaign merely a practice
sprint for the 1028 race before Mr.
Hayes’ speech, but there was none of
that feeling evident when he finished.
This was to be the year.

CONCORD, N. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1926
LAST DAY OF FILING
A Number of Applications Incomplete
and Cannot Be Accepted.
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, April 24.—Telegrams stat
ing only that “I will be a candidate
for Congress ; fee forwarded” or words
I to that effect can not be accepted as j
, formal notices of candidacies. Judge I
' W. H. Neal, chairman of the state 1
; board of elections, is said to have |
ruled Friday morning, nnd several t
congressional districts mny be with- 1
out Republican candidates as a re
-1 suit.
Telegrams are said to have been
sent to the state board of elections at
Raleigh by several Republicans nomi
nated by their district convention
for Congress, following Thursday’s
meeting of the state Republican ex
ecutive committee in Greensboro.
These wires were supposed to con
stitute notices of their candidacies.
When the messages were received
Friday morning, Philip Busbee, as
sistant secretary, put in n calt for
Judge Neal for instructions as to
whether or not they were sufficient to
constitute formal notices. The chair
man is said to have ruled in. the nrt
ative.
Mr. Busbee was non-committal yes
terday evening, beyond stating that
he had wired one Republican congres
sional nominee, in the sixth district,
that his notice was incomplete nnd
could not be accepted. Gilliam
Grissom said later that he had offered
to make out the incomplete applica
tion in due form and sign them in
his capacity as a member of the com
mittee which nominated the candi
dates whose applications for places
upon the ballots thus would be filed.
This offer was refused and it looks as
if Republicans in some districts might
have to print their own ballots if they
want to vote for a congressional can
didate, since the lists close at mid
night tonight.
The telegrams, or telegram, in ques
tipn are said by Mr. Busbee to have
failed in their mission because they
failed to announce the political party
of tile sender, their district and their
willingness to abide by the results
of the primary election for which they
were attempting to file. All this is
set forth upon the application blanks
furnished by the board upon request
which, it is held, should have been
followed in substance, if not in'exact
form.
One notice of candidacy for state
senator also lias been refurfied as in
sufficient. Mr. Busbee stated.
11. F. Seawell, of Carthage, yester
day filed notice of his candidacy for
associate justice of the State Supreme
Court, to succeed Justice Clarkson.
His is the only Republican notice for
associate justice, Mr. Busbee said,
although J. J. Britt has filed for chief
justice.
R. D. Sisk, candidate for superior
court judge in the twentieth judic al
district, yesterday asked the board
to cancel his candidacy.
A rush of last minute applications
| is expected today, the final day for
, filing, most of them from Repub:i
cuus. The minority party's state
ticket is far from complete as yet.
lieans admit that, in a normal elec
tion year, a Republican candidate for
United States Senator would stand
all the chance of a snow flake on a
Bummer day, but they seem honestly
convinced that a combination of cir
cumstances 1r due to send a member
of the minority party to the Senate
this year. In the first place, they
are counting on the fac* that J. J.
Hayes has captured the popular im
agination, within the party, to nn
extent gained by few men in the
j comparatively short time he has been
i in the public eye.
| Next, they arc predicting a split in
i the Democratic ranks over the Over
-1 mnn-Reynolds scrap,
i “Bob Reynolds will come so close
| to defeating Senator Overman," one
i prominent Republican prophesied yes
-1 terday. that “Reynolds’ friends will
[ cry ‘fraud’ nnd, immediately jump the
i fence to Hayes. How many will
1 jump is, of course, a matter forspec
| ulation, but our guess is that it will
i be enough to give North Carolina d
| Republican senator.”
i He will not be ready to announce
i what the vote will be. he added, un
til next week.

The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. April 24.—I’ersonx desir
; ouk of contributing to the Woodrow
: Wilson memorial fund and living in
: counties w’aere no organization for
the North Carolina campaign has
been effected may send their contri
butions to L. H. Jobe, department
of public instruction, Raleigh, with
the assurance that the donations thus
forwarded will be sent to headquar
ters and credit given to the county
from which they come. A. T. Allen,
superintendent of public instruction
and state campaign chairman, an
nounced yesterday.
This announcement was made by
Mr. Allen in order that every person
in the state may be given full oppor
tunity to participate in the plan for
making of the birthplace of the war
time president a national patriotic
shrine. In approximately half the
counties of the state, chairmen are
actively at work in the campaign,
which started Monday. In the re
maining counties Mr. Allen has been
unable to effect definite organizations.
North Carolina’s quota of t£e $500,-
000 fund sought is $50,000 and the
cswpsiglt within the state will close
April With, although ’CwtTtrfbntions
will be received after that time. Per
sons living in organized counties are
asked to send or hand their donations
to their county chairman, who, in
turn, will send the money thus col
lected to A. M. Frazer, Staunton, Va.,
along with lists of all donors.
There are three phases of tile plans
for setting up a memorial at the Wil
son birthplace in Staunton. First
will come the taking over of the house
in which Wilson was born; repairing
it and furnishing it in the style of
the period and placing in it books
and periodicals bearing on 'Wilson’s
life and times. Second will come
,Ite restoration of the chapel in which
Wilson was baptized, which will be
kept in permanent repair. Third
null be the Wilson Memorial Hall at
the college in Staunton, a large pub
lic auditorium in which men may do
honor to his memory.
County chairmen are asked to keep
Mr. Allen advised as to the amounts
collected in their counties.
