He said the only cause of his with drawal was the continued interference of the convicted man's brother, Police Lieutenant John Becker of the West Thirtieth street station, Shay delcared that the misguided zeal of John Beck er had been carried to such a point that not only had the case of the man who is alleged to have inspired the mur: der of Rosenthal been seriously crip pled from the legal viewpoint, but that Shay's standing as an attorney might be adviscly affected. Becker asks Him Not to Quit. Shay said his decision was rrevo cable. Late yesterday afternoon he j was in confenerce with Jackson Beck er another brother of the convicted man, who urged him to rem; 1 1 on the case.

At torney Shay said yesterday: "I have been in and out of the Beck er case many times. The-entire troub le has been caused by the activities of John Becker who unquestionably meant well, but carried away by his zea' in behalf of his brother.

FOR ENTIRE COUiVTfiY FAST COMING Anti-Saloon Leaders Want Amend ment Submitted to People TO STOP THE TRAFFIC. Amendment If Adopted, Would Make Manufacture and Sale Illegal. Washington, April 16 Prohibition advocates today presented to the House Judiciary Committee argu ments in support of a Constitutional amendment to enforce prohibition throughout the United States. They urged the committee to report to the House the resolution of Repre sentative Hobson, providing for the submission to the States, for ratifi cation .if a Constitutional amend ment directed against the sale, or manufacture for sale, of all alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes. For three hours men and women representing States all over the East presented their arguments and told of the progress of the prohibition fight. Tomorrow they will appear before the subcommittee of the Sen ate Judiciary ( .mimit ne in charge of the prohibition resolutions. Led by Uepr-.-seni ative Hobson the prohibitionists argued that they sim ply were appealing for an opportun ity to present to the people of ihe country, through t ho State Legisla tures, a definite referendum on the i'siI liquor question.

Represen tative Hobson opened I lie argument for his resolution, urging a favorable report that would place the measure before the Ilotisc. "We do not pro pose," he said, "in arg.n- tin- merits of this question. Our position is that (he question belore the house is simply whether the committee and Congress will give the people of the States the right to pass upon the mat ter. It matters not what the individ ual members of this committee mav think of the ineril s of i lie case, we think they should be willing to give the peo ple an oppori unit y to decide the ques tion." Representative Hobson contended his resolution would not interfere with State rights. He said thai un der the proposed aniciubnc'it it w ould be possible to niailul'.ict url liquor "for use" but not for "sale. ' The amendment he ..aid. would noi interfere with the "old drinker drink ing" but would prevent the 'de bauching of youi h."
