BITTER SCENES
MARK HEARING
Two Ncnalon Nearly Conte To
Mi>w and Coley Blease
Ployo Peacemaker
HOUSTON, Tesa*. June 23 —</P)—
dome of the Intense bitterness over
the prohibition laaue which underlies
the Democratic National Convention
came to the surface today at public
hearings today before the platform
(ommlttee with resultant scenes of
disorder and a threat of a persons!
collislson between twsPUnlted Stats*
- • °
Senators.
For more than two hours sdvocales
and opponents of the 13th amendment
end th*.„Volstead act battled back
and forth In the stately auditorium
of Houston's beautiful public library.
Ibc climax came Just at the end
while Bishop James Cannon. Jr., of
the Meth«diat Episcopal church. H,
I held the rioor arguing fpr a law en. i
fnrrement plank lu giypalf of the 31
temperance organ|satln]jf« of the
county, 'lie made statements re-1
gardlng the state of Maryland whose
Senator Millard Tydlngs of that
commonwealth repeatedly branded a*
"fain*."' -a. 4
This finally aroused Senator Car
ter Glass of Virginia, the home sf&e
of Bishop Cannon. Ihe Senator ad
vanced from his place on one side of
the hall waving his hand and protest
's against such characterisation.
Senator Tydlngs leaped to hla feet
and started forward while the crowd
ol me" and women that packed the
room strained forward In expectancy.
The Marylander advanced only a few
feet, however, before Senator Cote
Blea-e, of South Carolina himself a
fig liter grabbed him bv the shoulder*
and half forced him by persuasion
hack to hla seat. 0
Before that and Josephus
Daniels, of North Carolina editor had
clashed over the position of Woodrow
Wl|son oh prohibition' In urging his
plsnk calling for determination of the
liquor question by the Individual stats
*w> ,
the Marylander reminded hla hearers
that the war president,, had vetoed
the Volstead act. "JJon'l praise the
yre*t president In one paragraph of
your pisiform and repudiate him In
(toother." Tydlngs said.
Taking the floor a moment lster.
iMo'els who says under Wilson for
3 years, made a fiery speech th which
h*> protested against "such nuhsllow
•! rse of Woodrow Wilsons nam**"
Me asserted that Wilson vetoed tn-?
Yu': lead act Iwcause It continued two
war meaeures that he had asked Con
ti tar to repeal -
Within a' few months before his

that nelthe-. the 18th amendment pn
•he Volstead act should be changel.
I love him to much to siy* his nann.
Invoked to bring back the greatest
curse that this country has ever had"
Tydlngs held a hasty conference
with J. P. Tumulty, who wa* Wil*on‘a
pr'.tate secretary and who was a
spectator at the hearings. The Mary
lander then stated that whatever Wil
ton might have said or written pri
vately the fact remained that he had
vetoed the dry law.
