SENATE READY TO
BOTH ARRESTED
Was Set Up In Rear of House
and Connected With Bath
j. Room By Pipes ; No EF ort
Yet Made to Tear Up
, "Cute Plant.
A fifty-gallon capacity "Monkey
Rum" distillery; complete in every re-
speut ana Deauuiuiiy arranged in a.
rear room at No. 109 South Second
street, was raided and captured by
members of police force shortly after
midnight this morning . and Michael
J.; O'Dwyer. meat smoker for Armour
and Company, and Mrs; O'Dwyer, oc
cupying the house, placed under ar
rest and locked up, charged with the
illicit manufacture - of whiskey. The
house was raided and the plant seized
just a few minutes after the Old North
State .went "bone dry." Miss Vennie
Clark, daughter of Mrs. O'Dwyer, and
(Stepfather of O'Dwyer; was at the
house, but no charge has been prefer
red against her and she remained in
the house the remainder of the night.
The O'Dwyers came to Wilmington
from Richmond about four; years ago,
according to the yourig lady and had
been living at the above number for a
long period. She did' not come to
Wilmington with them, but joined
them here shortly afterwards.
The illicit plant is one of the most
novel that has ever been uncovered
and-the officers say that almost unlim-
'ited time has been necessary in "get
ting things right" for. the raid and
capture, After working ' on the case
for days, a search and seizure war
rant was drawn last night and the

No effort -had been made: to tear
down the plant at 1:30 o'clock; this
morning. In facti it lookesd like a
shame to molest, it. The plant was
put up in one of the rear rooms. The
furnace was built into the fireplace
and probably extended back a good
distance, although it will be impos
sible to say 'how. far until it is torn
out. The cqoling tank, painted a fiery
red, was contained on a Jedge of the
chimney inside a pantry to the rear of
the room containing the furnace. Pipes
extended from the cooling-tank to
the bathroom located on the second
floor of the : dwelling. 'Every arrange
ment was perfect and the setting
up" of the still was the work of an
artist. The officers had not located
the worm this morning, but they were
of the opinion that it was contained
in the chimney on the ledge of which
rested the -cooling tank.
There was quite a quantity of Taw
material on hand, and the stock of
empty jugs was unusually heavy.
Everything pointed to the fact that
the plant had been in recent opera
tion for when a nut was screwed from
the top of the furnace the odor of
molasses was very pronounced.
Scores of . people were attracted to
the house and they were allowed to
pass on the inside and view one of
the most ingenious, contraptions ever
constructed for the manufacture of
liquor.

TRIANGULAR FIGHT
ON THE QUESTION
Efforts to Shorten Debate
Probably Resort to The
Cloture Rule to
Hasten Vote.
(Bjs United Press.)
Washington, June 30. The Senate
"dry" fight has settled down to a ques
tion of whether President Wilson shall
exercise authority over beer and wine
production or whether both beverages
shall be entirely exempted from pro
hibition.
Opposition factions are arraying
their forces tonight for, a finish battle
next week. The outcome is in doubt.
The only thing certain about the re
sult is. that passage- of the Food Con
trol bill will be delayed until at least
the end of the week.

ity of the "wets." A contingent of
drys, led by Senator Gore, of Okla-
homa, are taking a stand behind an

il
the President. The "radical drys,'
.
who oppose any modification of the
'"bone dry" measure approved by the
House, are inclined to lend their in
fluence to the Gore clique.
Both sides say they will have agree-
ments by Monday to secure victory,
The substitute "dry" measure advo
cated by if Senator Chamberlain s in
charge of the Food bill, provides:
"That all 4 grains, cereals, fruits and
other edibles shall be prohibited from
use in the -manufacture of distilled
w j
No mention is made of the disposi-
tion of beer and wine. The President'
is also given authority to commandeer
all spirits in bond.
. If Chamberlain can't put his plan
through it is possible he will swing
in behind Jhe Gore proposition, to. "let
Woodrow do it," so far as regulation!
of beer and wine production is con-1
cerned. Otherwise it is a finish fight
"even,", as Chamberlain says, "if iti
takes all summer." I
On Monday, Chamberlain will make
a determined effort to limit debate on
the Food bill. Fear of an intensive
filibuster by a few violent antagonists
of the bill has led .to- a, decision of
this course. If it fails there is a plan
afoot v to attempt invoking the 'new
cloture rule . within a few days.
Today the legislative committee of
the Antisaloon league of America con
ferred for hours in an effort to decide
upon a response" to President Wilson's
request that they discontinue , their
fight to prohibit beer and wine man
ufacture. .
A "hands off" policy on the present
measure was agreed upon by the com
mittee and a letter notifying the Pres
ident of its decision was sent to- the
White House tonight. It made clear,
however, that a later prohibition fight
will be launched. The letter, signedfninchy broke down-In our curtain Vt;
the President wrote his request to dis
continue the fight for a "dry" food bill,
follows:
We have earnestly considered the
statement in your letter of yesterday
to the legislative committee of the Anti-Saloon
