MARCH 5 1915 SEN. A. D. WARD . WOKE UP SENATE -MONDAY NIGHT His Argument On the Pro hibition Measure A Thriller THOMPSONTHERE He Spoke Against the Meas ure Favored By New Bernian (By Brevard D. Stephenson) Raleigh, March 2. Two of ths strongest speeches of the spirited de bate Monday on the prohibition meas ure were by Senators A. D. Ward and Frank Thompson from the Sev enth District, who spoke on -opposite sides of the question. Senator Thompson's Speech Senator Thompson spoke first, against the bill. "There never has been a government that interferred with the personal rights of the people that didn't go down," he said. This is a line with a previous warning he gave Democrats to be careful, when he had said his district might other wise be Republican and had added, "I hope it' will be my brother and that he will give you hell." He said there are more evils than whiskey and more boys destroyed by other evils than whiskey. He re gretted that hevhad heard some Sena tors say they would vote for the bill even though they should become con vinced it was unconstitutional. - Such Senators, said Mr. Thompson,' are taking the same view as Cole Blease who said: "To hell with the Constitu tion." Mr. Thompson asked the question: "If the men in this chamber take that view of the Constitution they have sworn to support what can we expect of the backwoods man on a grand jury?" He quoted Vance, Ransom, and Jarvis in support of his position, and characterized the bill as the most drastic that anybody ever tried to force down the throats of a free people. Senator Ward's Speech.' Though the constitutionality of the proposed bill was fiercely debatod, the moat .striking, thing about the speech is its support -madeliy "Benaw"ArJ. Ward, considered one'" of the very ablost authorities on constitutional law, is' that he did not seem to think this phase of the question worth considering, as he made no reference to it. "I have always regarded liquor as an evil and only an evil," sums up his whole attitude, supported by the citation of specific cases and medical findings. . In answer to the argument that the new law would discriminate against the poor man who couldn't take a suitcase away and stock up, Senator Ward said: "I regard liquor as a poison and I think the discrimi nation is altogether in favor of the man who can't get it and against those who can." No man, he said, attempted to defend liquor directly, but would invariable plaoe. his op position to prohibition on some in direct ground. "There s a great evil in the present law and we ought to cut it off," he said in referonoo to the pocket blind tiger. Senator Ward was loudly applaud' ed as he oonoluded with these words: "I conoeive it my duty ta vote for the bill as it came from ths House.

Bonbardment of the inner forts of the Dardanelles was resumed at 10 o'olock Monday morn ing, says an Athens dispatch to the Havas Agency. A .Russian admiral has joined the allied fleet in the straits, making the trip by way of Dedeag- hatoh, a seaport of Bulgaria and ter minus of the railway lme from Ad rianople and Saloniki. '1.

London, Mar. 2.--Aooording to dispatches from Athens'Turkish troop trains -are moving' Southward from Constantinople to reinforce the Dar danelles forts. Those, pn the Euro pean side, have been- heavily bom barded by a British battleship from the Oulf of Saros. Earlier Athens dispatches confirmed' in effect that the Allied fleet plans to send a landing party ashore above Bulair and seize the Oallopli Isthmus. The latest ad miralty reports of the progress of the bombardment inside the Dardancllas said a heavy gale continued to hinder operations.

Bell says his ship rammed a German submarine off Beacheyhead Sunday " morning. Another Question Paris, Mar. 2. Edouard Clunet, an eminent jurist, ' former president of the institute of international law, disoussing the Dacia ease in the Fi garo, says that while , the constant praotice of French prise courts would leave little doubt about the condem nation of the ship and the fate of her cargo, it is another question whether the French government will ask their condemnation or the- oourt order it. Everything will depend, he ar gues, on the nature -of the cargo, the real, nationality of the owner, and the definite destination. Any opin ion on this point ho considers neces sarily premature, i. vv-; V , M. Clunet points -out that while England had almost given a diplo matic undertaking to treat the cargo with every consideration, France is free from any engagements of that kind, and will give to the Germane persons acting for them, only the Justloe which is their due. .

KNOTTY PROBLEM MS RURAL CREDITS.. YET IN . UPROAR Ship-Purchase Bill Is Also Causing Much Com ment Washington. D. C, March I -Two knotty problems, rural credits legis lation and the administration ship purchase bill, today confronted con gress in the tangled rush of busi ness to be disposed of before expira tion of the session at noon Thursday. The rural credits plan, attached to the agricultural bill now in con ference, and the ship bill, before the house a report from a conference committee, both threatened to com plicate the steady grind of appro priation bills, While the senate continued con sideration of the disputed Indian bill, house leaders were ready to follow the administration's wishes and force the ship bill through the house. The measure was temporar- ly abandoned Monday because of a Republican filibuster, and the leaders were inclined to drop it entirely. President Wilson, however, urged action. The rural credits fight, which kept the house in session until early today was continued in the con ference committee of the two houses. The house provision, which twisted the administration proposal into a plan for government aid to farm loan banks, was far different from the Mollis bill, which was thought to have- the president's sanction.
