Anderson Fears
Nullification of
Prohibition Law
Anti-Saloon League Start?
Fight Against Move to
Chance Definition of
the Word ""Intoxicating"
William II. Anderson, state superin?
tendent of tin: Anti-Saloon League, an?
nounced yesterday that the lcagu? lias
started a fight against an alleged plan
of the liquor interests to chango the
definition of the word "intoxicating"
in the liSth Amendment so that the law
will permit a larger percentage of al?
cohol in beverages.
".Some people think that the league's
work is done and that it may just as
well go out of business," said Mr. An?
derson. "We are going to do nothin<r
of the kind. Great dangers threaten.
For one thing the liquor interests have
discovered that if they capture Con
gress, l>y a mere majority vote without,
referring the question to the states.
they ran so change the percentage of
alcohol in the definition of 'intoxicat?
ing' as to nullify the amendment.
"And there are still some other
things that can be done with Congress.
We do riot believe that the liquor in?
terests will ever succeed. But in the
improbable event that the operation of
prohibition is temporarily suspended
through some technicality, Congress
can impose a prohibitive tax. It
should put a tax of $1,000 or more u
gallan (?n all liquor."
The league's efforts are to be di?
rected to the enforcement of prohibi?
tion among Americans in foreign coun?
tries who, b'-cause of treaty arrange?
ments, are still subject to the laws of
this country. "By the treaty between
this country and China, made in 1844,
all American citizens in China can be
prohibited from engaging in the linuor
business," said Wayne B. Wheeler,
counsel for the league. "A bill now
; pending in Congress to extend this au
? thority abroad wherever treaties per
' mit is based on what is known as extra
; territorially. It is well established
\ that Congress has the power to enact
laws governing its citizens in countries
; where extra territorial privileges exist.
: There are a number of countries like
! China where such legislation can be
enforced. Where there are not United
Slates courts to efforce the law,
American consuls can act."
Wheeler Calls on "Drys"
To Keep Up the Fight
Anti-Saloon League Counsel
Points to Campaigns Being
Waged by "Wets" in States
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25..Calling on
friends of prohibition to get busy
rather than quit, Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League of America, in a statement
to-night charged that 'wet' organiza?
tions and some wet officials are en?
couraging defiance to national prohibi?
tion in Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin and
several other states."
"They," said Dr, Wheeler, referring
to these organizations and officials,
"have enacted, or attempted to enact,
laws to permit, certain liquors which
the Federal government prohibits. In
their campaign with 'wet' propaganda
: they are inflaming the lawless to defy
the Federal prohibition act.
??The court attacks on national pro
I bition, the threat of the liquor
organizations to elect a 'wet' Congress
to weaken the national prohibition
coiie and re-submit the Eighteenth
Amendment and to elect 'wet' legisla?
tors to carry out their program is a
.sufficient challenge toi the friends of
prohibition to get busy rather than
quit."
'Drunks' Hare Disappeared
From the Tombs Court
Score a point for prohibition. Al?
though Magistrate Edgar Frothingham
has an unconquerable aversion to pro?
hibition as a constitutional amendment,
he admitted in the Tombs Court yes?
terday that the "drunks" have disap?
peared since the Eighteenth Amend?
ment became effective.
The absence of the usual Sunday
morning inebriates yesterday led the
magistrate to make the prediction that
the Tombs Court district has been
cleared of whisky guzzlers. In the
past many drunk and aisorderly types
have been drawn from the court dis?
trict, which embraces ?'hat ham Square
and Bayard, Pell, Mulberry and Eliza?
beth s tree;-.
"The passing of the saloon is a
blessing," commented the magistrate,
"but that does not alter my pronounced
??b:aa on the principle of prohibition
secured by constitutional amendment."
Liquor Dealers Decide
To Reneiv 1920 Licenses
1 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.?Members
of the Philadelphia Liquor Dealers' As?
sociation decided to-day to renew their
licenses for 10-0 and 1?21 and to take
legal steps for a refund of money pai?l
for liquor licenses after war-time pro
I - tion went into effect. It also was
d? cided not to sell liquor to druggists.
Speakers at the meeting declared it
! their opinion that a rigid enforcement
ol the prohibition laws would be the
i ist means of bringing about a repeal
: h e amendment.

Waler Power Bills
Nearly Ready for
Legislative Action
~_
Adler Idea of Disposing of
Rights Along the Barge
Canal hy Auction Flat?
ly Opposed by Mayors
Staff Correspondence
ALBANY, Jan. 25.?Water power
legislation will be one of the bi?<
factors of the present session of the
Legislature. Several bills aro being
whipped into shape for early action.
One, introduced by majority leader
Simon L. Adler, provides for the dis?
posal of water rights along the barge
canal by auction. Trie state conserva?
tion commission is empowered to rent
this surplus water to the highest bid?
der for a period of fifty years
Municipalities and private corporations
would have to compete.
Because of this provision the stat?
conference of Mayor? is opposed to tin
bill, Tlie cities and towns of the stat'
believe tliev should have the firs
chance to purchase the canal watei
rights.
The Mayors conference favors a bill
which has been introduced by As
semblyman Joseph A. McGinnies, o
Chautauqua, providing forappointmen
of a commission to act as an agenc;
for the state in acquiring and utilizin?,
the waters of the state as well as th
boundary waters for power. Hydro
electric power is to be developed an
sold or leased to municipalities and in
habitants of the state for public an
private use. The committee would b
authorized to acquire by purchase o
condemnation such water power an
necessary property, provided that con
demnation is limited to undevelope
water powers.
The commission is to fix the price
for the sale or lease of power sut
ficient to return the cost of developin
and operation to the state. In pthe
words, the activity must be self-su]
porting, and neither state nor munie
pality would support it directly or ii
directly by tax.
A large number of New York bil
also are before both houses. Beside
those to relieve the rent situation i
the city, there are two for constru?
lion of bridges over the East Rive
connecting Manhattan with Queens, at
one giving the Victory Hall Associatic
the right to condemn the land at tl
corner of Forty-third Street and Pat
Avenue and erect a memorial to tl
men killed in the war in the form of
civic hall and auditorium.
Training Camp Members
Indorse New Armv Bill
I - j
Some Parts Objectionable and
i Senator Wadsworth is Urged
to Have Them Reconsidered
The Military Training Camps Associ?
ation wrote yesterday to Senator Jamo
| W. Wadsworth expressing approval of
j the Army Reorganization bill which
j provides for the military training of ali
men between the ages of eighteen and
twenty-one years. Senator Wadsworth
is urged, however, to "reconsider" cer
tain provisions of the bill.
! Among these aro "the desirability of
reducing even further thtp initial au
thorized enlisted strength of the regu
1 lur army, having in mind the wood of
economy.

Bronx Zoo Broke
All Records for
Attendance in 1919
Aquarium at Battery Also
Set New Mark for Year;
Society's Board of Man?
agers Re-elects Officers
Al tendance at the Bronx Zoo and the
Aquarium at the Battery broke all
records last year, with a total of more
than 4,000,000, according to the annual
report of the Zoological Society, made
public yesterday. The cost to the city
was about seven cents a visitor.
Attendance at the Zoo totalled 2,038,
859, a gain of more than 2.50,000, and
that of the Aquarium was 1,850.575.
i At the annual meeting of the socie?
ty's board of managers Tuesday it was
decided to expend $10,000 for improve
ments at the Aquarium. At the same
mooting Henry Fairfield Osborn, presi?
dent, and Madison Grant and Frank K.
Sturgis, vice-presidents, and other of
(icers of the society were re?lected.
It also was announced that the popu?
lation of the Zoo. depleted by gifts to
the Antwerp Zoological Gardens and
the London Zoo, would be increased by
a shipment of giraffes, sable antelope,
.'.udu, eland, mountain zebras and small
African antelope.
The society's report characterized
the publication of the first volume of
the Kuscr Beebe "Monograph of the
I Pheasants of the World" as the most
important scientific event of the year,
adding that the monograph was proba?
bly the finest book on birds ever pub?
lished.
The report also noted that the city's
allowance to the Zoo has been increased
lrom $100,000 to $239,000, and that for
the Aquarium from $45,000 to 555.000,
but seated that these increased allow?
ances were insufficient to meet the in?
creased cost of wages and supplies.
The resultant strain on the Zoological
Soeiety was great, and Mr. Grant took
occasion to remark that the organiza- I
tion had been entirely overlooked in re?
cent bequests. In fact, he said, the
sage gift had been the only large sum
ever bequeathed to the society, and it
has not yttt been received.
The endowment fund on January 1
amounted to only $400,000, the report
showed.
If sufficient funds were made avail?
able, Mr. Grant said, the society would
take up the fight against the destruc?
tion of aquatic life through the pollu?
tion of streams.
Mr. Grant was re?lected general sec?
retary and chairman of the executive
committee with the following asso?
ciates: Percy R. Pyne, William Wiiite
Niles, William Pierson Hamilton, Frank
K. Sturgis, Lispenard Stewart, Watson |
U. Dickerman, Anthony R. Kuser, Henry !
rairtield Osborn, ex ofHcio, and A. Bar

ployers, however, decline to accept re- i

Town Marshal Enlists
When Youths Join Navy
Official, Believing He Will
Have No One to Arrest,
Signs Recruiting Blank
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.?With the
completion of a successful recruiting
campai?gn in Tennessee to obtain
enough native Tennesseans to man the
i new ?uperdreadnought Tennessee, it
; was intimated here to-night that
similar campaigns would be conducted
in the other states, for which euper
?lreadnoughts now under construction
; have been named.
Superdreadnoughts which are now
being built, are the California, Colo?
rado, Maryland, Washington. West Vir?
ginia, South Dakota, Indiana, Montana,
North Carolina, Iowa and Masschu
setts.
Secretary Daniels to-day telegraphed
his congratulations to Governor Roberts
of Tennessee on the successful out?
come of the campaign in that state.
As an illustration of the enthusiasm
manifested in the campaign, the Navy
Department cited the action of the
town marshal of Crossvitle, a small
Tennessee town, who led nearly all of
the young men through the streets to
the recruiting station and si?gned for a
cruise on the Tennessee.
A"- he wrote his name on the recruit?
ing blank, the marshal remarked that
"as there was nobody left in town to
arrest his usefulness to the town had
ceased."
Bedford Outbreak Renewed
BEDFORD, N. Y., Jan. 25.?An up?
roar of shrieks and rattling cell doors
which prisoners at the State Reforma
tory for Women her? started two days
ago was renewed to-day. The inmates
of the disciplinary building and Re?
becca Hall were the offendere. They
said that their outburst was s proteg?
against their quarters and their treat?
ment.
Religious services were being con?
ducted in another building while th?
I noise was at its height. All windows
j were closed, however, and the sounds
j did not carry much farther than th?
buildings where they originated.
