Committee in case your proposed in?
vestigation is ordered.
"I am a member of the New York
State Bar. I practiced law for seven
-Man in Manhattan and in Yonkera. I
Bave no fear of Anderson. The strong?
est evidence I possess against the
league is documentary."
Following the receipt of this letter
Cuviilier' announced that in addition
to this minister he had. an offer from
another here in Albany to testify be?
fore the Assembly Judiciary Com?
mittee.
The committee, Cuviilier said to?
night, would not begin its investiga?
tion into the alleged violations of law
by the Anti-Saloon League and its of?
ficers until the Socialist trial is dis?
posed of.
He declared that Mr. Anderson would
find himself more than matched in the
Rev. Mr. Freeman, who has expressed
not only a desire to testify, but to
meet the head of the Anti-Saloon
League.
Mr. Freeman's statement exposing
some of the league's activities does not
contain all he knows concerning the
league. It is probable that he will lay
all his facts before the Judiciary Com?
mittee in executive session before the
public hearings into the probe of the
league and its officers is begun.
Mr. Freeman's Statement
Legislative leaders here to-day de?
clared that it was the intention of the
Assembly to go the limit in its investi?
gation, and that funds for hiring coun?
sel and other expenses would be ap?
propriated without stint by the As?
sembly.
Mr. Freeman's statement follows:
"I am entering upon no attack upon
the Anti-Saloon League. I am merely
endeavoring to interpret it to the pub?
lic as a public institution. An institu?
tion committed to public concern must
necessarily carry plainly upon its face
a clear public discernment of worth in
itself if it is to win and to hold an ac?
credited place in the body of public in?
terest.
"It is that facial utterance of its
real value to society that makes any
public-minded institution an unlique
fied part of the solidarity of public ad?
vancement. It is a general wish on the
part of the public that it may under?
stand precisely what the Anti-Saloon
League is as one of its institutions. It
Is impossible to frame an answer to
any fair question concerning the Anti
Satoon League from what it appears un
the surface to be. What it has done is
neith?r a thoughtful nor a fitting
answer.
"What it is ever asserting its dis?
position to do fails to suffice as an
agreeable answer. One feels that it is
something that lies back of all the
league's assertions that needs to be
considered bef?se a fair and safe con?
clusion of miDd about it is possible.
Not Agency of Churches
"This institution disc'oses itself only
from within outward. I have been suf?
ficiently long in its service to say some?
thing with respect to its institutional
elements. I have been a lawyer and
know something of the relative weight
and significance of elemental things.
The Anti-Saloon League has pivoted it?
self on an asserted relationship with
the churches in the state. It declares
itself as the agency of the churches.
It is not the agency of the churches.
"Unless this asserted agency is
predicated upon the mere failure of
the church's denial of such relation
ship the league's asserted agency is
barren of every element which consti?
tutes an agency. Apart from its claim
that certain Methodist' conferences
have officially recognized for them?
selves the leadership of the Anti
Saloon League in the matter of prohi?
bition activities and have recommended
for it cordial financial support, there
is not the shadow of the fact that any
church denomination or any individual
church of any denomination ha3 given
to it either official or unofficial associa?
tive recognition in any matter.
"Contributions to it, which flow out
of its celebrated Sunday service in the
church edifices, are simply individual
personal contributions. They neither
spring out of an ecclesiastical action
nor are they in any manner subject to
ecclesiastical control and direction.
There is not even an affiliated interest
in the matter between individual con?
tributors at any given service.
"No church is in posession of a
record of contributions made by mem?
bers or by attendants at a league ser?
vice, unless it might be some churches
that have secured such, a record as a
personal favor from the league's
records. No church exercises any con?
cern with the question whether or not
any contributing member or attendant
ultimately discharges his pledge.
"The only thing that gives the in?
stitution an ecclesiastical color is that
its celebrated Sunday service is held
in a church edifice at the accustomed
hour of public worship, where the min?
ister of the church naturally appears
and introduces the speaker as the rep?
resentative of the Anti-Saloon League
"The league's Sunday ?address ant
its week day field canvass make up th(
vehicle of its real being. The Sundaj
address is the League's constitution?
the inflexible means of its life. Every?
thing about it centers around the Sun?
day address. When a man is first
brought into the league's service h<
feels that the .' day addresses whicl
he-is expected rrrake are naturallj
to rise out of his own conviction; tha
they are to be an expression of hi;
own vision, an exhibition of his owi
personal interest in the subject o:
his work. This is not so.
"He is confronted with what ii
called a 'highly specialized address
from which there must be no devia
tion.' He is given to understand tha
he may give to his address some rela
tively important personal touches, hu
that to be effective, as the league ha:
defined effectiveness, it must be heb
as constitutional. The following re
markable instrument is handed to i
man who enters into the league';

Sunday speech for the Anti-Salooi

" "Third (7 minutes), "Inflammation"
?During which it is intended to set
forth the genius and character of the
liquor traffic in such a way as to arouse
the congregation to action and make
them want to fight the traffic with us.
Facts and illustrations calculated to
arou.se their fighting spirits should bo
incorporated here.
37 Minutos Time Limit
" 'Fourth (10 minutes), "Consecra?
tion"?Which covers the business of
he cards and explanation of the sub?
scriptions and the "motor cue," whish
will lead people to enroll for the war.
" 'You will observe that this would
make a speech of thirty-seven minutes
long, including the passing of the
cards and all, and it is well so far as
possible for your speech to come with?
in these bounds. When you have been i
in the work some time and are filled
with great funds of interesting and
impressive facts, it will be difficult to
keep within these limits, but it will be
wise to do so, even then.
" 'Remember in outlining your
speech that the purpose of it is not to
deliver a "temperance address," for
that is the particular province of the
pastors and temperance evangelists.
Neither is it the intention to paint
"black pictures" of the liquor traffic, I
for most people have the reality before ;
them so clearly that pictures seem '
weak and unavailing.
" 'But what we are intending to do ?
in our speeches is to outline an intelli- I
gent and effective plan of action and !
call upon the people to take a hand.
It is not eloquence that we seek so
much as practical effectiveness and
businesslike straightforwardness.'
"This outline may appear upon its
face perfectly reasonable and alto?
gether fair, but it has but one mean?
ing, and that meaning is this: The ;
first five minutes of the address is in-1
tended to give to the hearer a tempo- i
rary self-exaltation, for which he is
willing to pay something. It'is in?
tended to make the henrer like the
sneaker for some nice thing he says
about his particular denomination.
Money for Compliments
"For instance, it is always an effect?
ive thing for a Presbyterian speaker of
the league who is addressing a Metho?
dist audience to say that his dear old
mother died a Methodist. The speaker ,
knows if this is said that he is going
to be paid in money for the compli- j
! ment.
"That gets the heart of the audience. ?
! But the mind of the audience must be j
i secured also; and so fifteen minutes of i
: the address must be so intelligently
given that the hearer feels that it is i
his duty, because he likes the speaker,!
j '?o pay him something for the sound ?
? information that he has received.
"Then comes the most serious situ- ?
ation of all in connection with the Sun- i
day address; the question of 'inflam
mation.' Down to this portion of the j
address the speaker has a feeling that !
he has got something coming in the ?
way of money from his hearer, but he j
must say something new that will in- j
crease the sum which the hearer has ?
decided to give.
"The hearer must be wrought up to ]
a pitch of action. He must be con- ''
fronted with a duty larger than a re- I
gard for the speaker. He must feel his
fist doubling up for the defense of
(?mething, for the destruction of some
threatening thing. He must be led to
call out: 'What can I do, tell me what
I can do?' Seven minutes must be
given over to this burning flame.
"The address then closes with the
[answer to those questions: 'There is
! but one thing you cav do. The Anti
'. Saloon League is your agent. It is
' here to do for you this duty which you
? now feel like discharging. The only
! thing you can do is to enable the
; league to do by giving the league the
money with which to do it.'
"I have put the real essence of this
Sunday address very mildly. It im?
plies all of that subtle tact, that adroit
study of human frailty, which tem?
porarily sets a man apart from his ac?
customed self.
"But this is a mere part of what I
am prepared to say with respect to
? tihe Anti-Saloon League. It touches
; the question of the means by which it
operates. It does not exhibit its pur?
poses. It does not uncover the way
by which its purposes are to be at
; tained. This much will introduce the
general questions which the public has
i in mind as it contemplates investiga
1 tion of the league as an institution.

with the people. I challenge you to k
joint discussion on a question that has
more kick In it than the 3"per cent beer
you want.
"It will not do for yon to ?ay that it
is beneath your dignity as Governor to
meet a private citisen, because you
yourself recently challenged William
Randolph Hearst to debate with you.
You are estopped from saying that I
am not of sufficient caliber to bo wor?
thy of your attention, because you
yourself recently nominated me for
Governor to succeed yourself.
Meeting? In Five Cities
"I propose meetings in tho five
largest cities of tho state at some
mutually convenient date, each side to
bear half the cost of hall rent and
have tickets for half the space. As I
have the burden of proof I will, of
sourse, be entitled to the opening and
??losing, but to give you ample oppor?
tunity I propose two main speeches on
;ach side.
"At such meetings I will undertake
to establish to the satisfaction of the
judien ce and the public:
"(1) That you have violated the
spirit, if not the letter, of your oath
of office.
"(2) That, in spite of your pro?
fessed, desire for the sort of referen?
dum on prohibition which you know
to be bogus and fraudulent, yet a*
a member of the Assembly you voted
seven times against honest local
referendum, and against an hon?
est, ^tate-wide referendum on pro?
hibition, and when Speaker you
packed the Excise Committee with
'wets' to prevent the people of New
York and other cities having a
chance to vote effectively on the
liquor question.
"(3) That the prohibition amend?
ment to th|i Constitution of the
United States was properly adopted
as provided by law after you and the
interests represented by you had
.been fairly whipped on this question
in the election of the Legislature,
and that, your statement to the con?
trary notwithstanding, the people of
New York had a chance to express
themselves on this issue.
"(4) Such other things respecting
your record on the liquor issue as
may be pertinent.
"Of course, if you prefer to post?
pone this until you are a candidate for
he United States Senate or are run
ling for reelection on a duplicate of i
Governor Edwards's platform, in the
?ope that the Republican managers
will again be as idiotic as they were
wo years ago in this state and as they
vere in New Jersey last fall, I nm en
;irely willing to defer to your wishes.
"But, unless you accept promptly, I
?hall keep at the matter until the peo
?le understand why. and until the facts
respecting your legislative liquor rec
>rd which the Republican leaders re?
fused to publish in 1918 are generally
anderstood."
Jersey Pushes
Fight on 'Dry'
Law to Court
Continued from page 1
within the true intent and meaning of
Article V of the Constitution.
"?1. That the prohibition contained
in the said alleged Eighteenth Amend?
ment is legislative matter under Article
I of the Constitution, and is not prop?
erly an amendment to the Constitution '<
under Article V.
Not Properly Passed, He Says
"5. That as legislative matter it was
not properly passed by the Congress
and submitted to the President of the
United States, and is, therefore, void
and of no effect.
"fi. That in twenty-one states, name?
ly, South Dakota, Oregon, Novada, Mon?
tana, Oklahoma, Maine, Missouri, Mich?
igan, Arkansas, Colorado, Arizona, Cali?
fornia, Ohio, NebrasKa, Washington,
North Dakota, Mississippi, Utah, Massa?
chusetts, Maryland and New Mexico,
the legislatures have not ratified as
provided by the constitutions of such
states, and that, therefore, three-1
fourths of the states have not ratified \
in the constitutional sense.
"7. That the alleged Eighteenth
Amendment establishes a centralization
of power and authority without the
consent of the people of the State of
New Jersey and is unalterable and un
rc-formable at all timos by them, and
is therefore inconsistent with the
fundamental purposes expressed in the
; reamble of the Constitution?'to form
a more perfect union and to secure the
blessings of liberty to posterity' and
establishes a precedent whereby no
powers will be reserved to the respec?
tive states, as provided in Article X of
the Constitution, because the reserve
powers of the several states may be
annulled and destroyed under the guise
and pretense of amending the Consti?
tution."
Attorney General McCran's bill
argues that the Volstead law is un?
constitutional and void for these rea?
sons:
"1. Because the national prohibition
act, or Volstead act, was enacted under
authority of the said alleged amend?
ment, it is itself null and void, and be?
cause said act of Congress prohibits
and restricts the manufacture and sale
in intrastate commerce of intoxicating
liquors.
"2. Because said net of Congress in?
terferes with and will deprec?ale and
in a large measure destroy the taxable
value of real and personal property
within the state of New Jersey, and is
therefore destructive of the free and
independent government of said state.
"3. Because said act of Congress has
deprived and will permanently deprive
complainant of its revenue from li?
censes, which revenues for the vear
4918 amounted to the sum of $2,442,
81*9.46, thus depriving the state and its
municipal subdivisions of revenue nec?
essary for the support of government.
Interferes With Internal Rule

ports to and does interfere with the
internal government of the people of
the State of New Jersey, and operates
to punish them by heavy fines, impris?

thus jeopardizes and menaces the
rights and liberties of said physicians
and surgeons in maintaining the public
health, undertaking to punish them
severely for violation of its provisions,
and in the discretion of the defendant,
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
to deprive them of the right of pro?
fessional practice to prescribe intoxi?
cating liquors, because the State of
New Jersey owns, controls and con?
ducts large institutions for the care of
penal, correctional and charitable wards

To Avoid "Dry" Law Clash

Ovation Here
Hundreds Fight to Enter
Tammany Qub to Hear
Jersey's "Wet" Governor
D e n o unce Prohibition
Attacks the Volstead Act
Declares "Drys" Seek to
Dictate Religious Worship
by Federal Constitution
Animated by wild enthusiasm hun?
dreds of women struggled desperately
with equal numbers of men to enter
the crowded Osceola Tammany Hall
Club, 1036 Park Avenue, last night to
hear Edward I. Edwards, New Jersey's
"wet" Governor, in vorbal onslaughts
against the "demon" prohibition.
On the staircase, in the halls and
even on the window sills inside the
club women waited anxiously on pre?
carious footholds for the Governor to
arrive. Outside the crowd was almost.
as large. On his arrival from the
Democratic Club, where he had been I
entertained at dinner, Governor Ed- ?
wards was given an ovation. With I
him were Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Lewis'
Nixon, members of his.staff and p.om- I
inent New York Democrats.
Like Ku Klux Klan
The Governor's entry into the club
was effected with difficulty after great
exertion by a number of men of bulk, j
At the outset of his speech he attacked
the Anti-Saloon League as a "latter i
day Ku Klux Kla?," whose object was '
to revise the United States Constitu?
tion "so that every conceivable 'don't'
will be a part thereof."
"It is attempting through amend?
ments to the Constitution," he con?
tinued, "to bring about a condition of
affairs that will be tantamount to a [
dictated form of religious worship. !
The wise men who drafted our Consti- \
tution could find no reason for in- ?
eluding therein the law of God in the \
Ten Commandments, consisting mostly ?
of prohibitions, but this fact does not
in any manner deter, or affect, these ?
Anti-Saloon fanatics."
The Governor's allusion to the Vol?
stead act aa "the biggest fool bill ever ?
passed by Congress" was greeted with ;
a round of applause. He declared that i
liquor had been made a'political issue
by the Eighteenth Amendment and the !
Volstead act. "The issue will be pi'e- !
sented every two years," he added.
"and every candidate for Congress will
be compelled to make known his inter- !
pretation of the law."
Not a Clos?ad Incident
He said that certain persons tried to
make the people believe that prohibi?
tion was a closed incident at:d cannot
be affected by anything that fa said or
done. "These persons will soon know,"
he said, "that the people will take steps
within tho law to remedy the situation
now prevailing."
Governor Edwards presented the ar?
gument of the "wets" in the same
guise as that of the "drys" in the
following manner:
"The several states were gradually
but surely arriving at a solution of
the problem and it was conceded by
all fair-minded persons that the will
of the majority in those states which
had gone dry was being respected.
Every one had conceded to the states
the right to determine whether alco?
hol should or should not be manu?
factured and sold and no one had ever
questioned the right of Congress to
enact such legislation relating to the
matter of interstate commerce as would
assist the state to actually become and
remain dry.
"I am certain that the people of the
State of Maine and the other dry
states would better understand and
approve my views upon the subject of
personal, liberty and self determina?
tion, if ' those opposed to prohibition
should, by amendments to the Consti?
tution or by Federal legislation, make
impossible the enforcement of prohibi?
tion in any state, or otherwise circum?
vent tho will of the people. This is
the converse of the situation created
by the Eighteenth Amendment and the
fairness of the reasoning should ap?
peal alike to the so-called 'wets' and
'drys.' " *
Tobacco To Be Banned
While attacking the Anti-Saloon
League Governor Edwards said: "I am
?irmly convinced that it contemplates
still further amendments, so that the
use of tobacco, the question of Sunday
amusement and other matters of like
'tind may be regulated or prohibited
by the Constitution. The Anti-Sa,.oon
League proceeds upon the assurance
that it has the average man 'buffaloed'
and that he will meekly bow to its in?
junctions and commands."
The women who attended were open?
ly of "wet" convictions and did not
hesitate to express their convictions
during the period of waiting.
2.75% Beer Bill
In N. Y'.Legislature
l
Measure by Democratic
Leader Said To Be Vir?
tually Sure of Passage
From a Staff Correspondent
ALBANY, March 4.?-A 2.75 per cent
beer bill was introduced to-day by Sen?
ator James J. Walker, Democratic lead?
er. In ??very respect execept the limit
of alcohol it is the same as the bill
introduced last year by Majority Lead?
er J. Henry Walters. The Walters
bill permitted 3 per cent It would
have passed before the prohibition
amendment was ratified but for the
opposition at the last minute of saloon?
keepers of New York. As it put
the saloons out of busines, the liquor
dealers joined with their erstwhile
enemy, the Anti-Saloon League, to beat it.
As it is now generally recognized by j
legislators that, no matter how the pro?
hibition question is finally settled, the j
saloon is a thing of the past, there ?
will be no opposition to the Walker
bill. Senator Walters and other Re?
publican leaders are for it. The Demo?
crats are lined up solidly - be?
hind it. Sentiment for the passage of ?
some sort of a light wine and beer j
bill seems to prevail in both houses of
the Legislature, and of all the beer
bills so far introduced, that of Sena?
tor Walker now seems to be the one
most likely to be agreed on by the
legislative leaders.
The Walker bill would permit the
sale of 2.75 per cent beverages in ?
hotels and restaurants with meals and j
by wholesalers and retailers for home ;
consumption in quantities of not more j
than five gallons. It stipulates that
where sold by retailers the beverage
must not be drunk on the premises.
The bill was referred to the Senate
Judiciary Committee,

though hopeless of discovering any
bodies, which they believe to be wedged
inside the car, the police continued
their work in the hope of bringing up
the license number plate which would
reveal the identity of the car's owner.
Sherman Creek is a stream fifty feet
wide, which runs from Nagle \Avenue
to the Harlem River. It is choked with
'vice floes which had drifted back across
I the spot where the motor car went in.
? It was said at Police Headquarters
that there was no record of the cali
that Mether declared he made at 7:30
a. m. Tuesday telling of the accident.
? In such cases, it was added, the rule
was to connect the informant with the
police station nearest to the accident.
Charles Kerr, of 25 Arden Street,
1 said lie saw the car yesterday morning
when the tide had left it only half sub?
merged. There were no bodies in it,
he added. The current had swung one
I of the doors open and was holding it
i in that position, so that he obtained a
' clear view of the interior.
Bomb Damages U. S.
Consulate at Zurich
t -
Explosion Laid to Foreigner
Who Had Been Denied Pass?
port to America
BERNE, Switzerland, March 4.?A
heavily charged bomb was exploded
; before the street door of the Amer?
ican Consulate in Zurich last night.
The door was completely shattered,
large holes were pierced in the wall
and all the windows of the building
were broken. The ground floor, where
is situated the office of the consulate,
was almost demolished. The consul
and his family, who lived on the upper
floor, escaped uninjured, but were com?
pelled to move to a hotel.
The fragments of the bomb show that
it was of the most modern construction.
It had a time fuse. It is believed that
it was exploded before the consulate as
an act of revenge by one of the many
; foreigners to whom passports to the
| United ?States had been refused. The
| consul declared that many such refusals
? had been made lately. A magistrate
. has opened an investigation into the ex
| plosion.

WASHINGTON, March 4.?Effort*
to show that the American gov?
ernment, through its diplomatic agents,
aided revolutionary attempts to upset
the Soviet government in Russia were
continued to-day before a Senate com?
mittee by former Senator Hardwick of
Georgia, counsel for Ludwig C. A. K.
Martens, Soviet agent in this country.
D. C. Poole, forjner American Consul
General at Moscow, denied unquali?
fiedly that he had taken part in what
Senator Hardwick termed "conspira?
cies under uie American flag to blow
up bridges."
There was objection to the cross
examination of Mr. Poole, who is now
chief of the State Department division
on Russian affairs. Chairman Moses
finally allowed continuance of ques?
tioning to tost the witness.
U. S. Funds Held Up by Soviets
Consular funds of the United States
had been left in the Moscow banks,
Mr. Poole said, before the soviet "na?
tionalized" them, and his subordinates
were unable to draw out the money.
He also told of raids by soviet agen?
cies on the consular offices of other
countries.
Taking the stand Martens acknowl?
edged that he had cabled Litvinoff, the
Russian Commissary of Foreign Affairs,
asking the Soviet government to take
"appropriate action" in case he were
deported. He also admitted that he
had cabled to Russia that Americans
were being "terribly persecuted" here
for expressing sympathy with Soviet
Russia.
"Are you in sympathy with the Rus?
sian Socialistx Federation's plan for
arming the negroes of the South?"
asked Wade H. Ellis, counsel for the
committee.
At this Martens entered a general
protest against the proceeding.
"I don't know what the federation
wants," he said.
"Oh, yes, you do," Ellis replied. "You
joined it when you came here."
"I did not," Martens declared.
This ended Martens's ccoss-ewamina
tion and the committee adjourned until
Tuesday, when Senator Hardwick will
question his client again.
Secret Service agents were again on
hand to watch Martens, for whose ar?
rest a warrant has been issued by the
Department of Justice. Martens will
continue within the jurisdiction of the
committee.

Princeton Committee Will

Special Dis-pat*** >?> The Tribune
PRINCETON, N. J.. March 4.?The
i senior council of Princeton University
! formed a committee to-day to inquire
! into the scholastic standing of a1! men
engaged in athletics. Its duty will be
? to bring pressure to bear upon those
found remiss in their studies. The
; committee is composed of the manag
'?? ers of the four major sports, the man?
agers of four minor spor*;s and three
? members of the senior council.
It was appointed . s a result of an
editorial, entitled "Athletes and Ex?
aminations," in a recent number of
"Tho Daily Princctonian." The edi

; many team members to pass enough

ure due to the campus attitude of
ready sympathy for any such min, in?
stead of an attitude which would com?
pel these men to work the harder be?
cause of their vaiue to the university.
Any man who has the ability to repre?
sent Princeton in athletics Is under a
special obligation to do h:s work thor?
oughly and stay in college.
"The question of athletes staying in
college can be solved in only one way
?that of maintaining a higher stand?
ard of work than they have done in tht
past. To bring home this responsibil?
ity and special obligation of all ath?
letes is clearly the duty of the under?
graduates, and will do far more toward
keeping such men in college than at?
tacking the faculty at the end of every
examination period."
