APOLOGIZES FOR HAVING
VETOED PROHIBITION
His Attitude Is One of Uneom
' promising Opposition to
the' Continuation, of;
the Business . in
: ""V ' " : '
This Country.
Characterized by success from every
viewpoint, exceeding1 even the antici
pations of those in. chargre, and indi
cating one of the largest patronized
"and most substantial occasions of its
kind in the. history of the city, the
fifth annual Chautauqua Assembly ol
Bridgeport Pastors' association was
formally opened last night in the New
Casino, 1075 State street. Everything
, went off harmoniously, the seating ac- j
commodations were excellent and the
. program of exceptional merit. From
the time! that the Y. M. C. A.' eight-'
piece orchestra, under the1 leadership
of L. C. Minor, gave theVipening num
ber until former Governor Malcolm R.
' Patterson of Tennesee, concluded his-
address there was cl-se attention. The
attendance is reported as having ex
, ceeded the 1,500 mark.
! The program was formally opened
i with prayer by Rev. John MacLaren
Richardson, pastor of the Frist Pres
byterian church. Mayor Wilson made
an address of welcome and congratu
lated the members of the Pastors as
sociation for their . successful effort
to give- Bridgeport something really
worth whiles and of much educatibnal
value. - ' i -
Rev. ' George M. ' Brown, pastor of
the First Methodist church and father
of the Chautauqua idea locally, out
lined the various details of the pro
gram. He- referred to the represen
tative character of the Chautauqua as
sembly audiences and then expressed
the 'wish that all would come out to
church Sunday, adding that this was ,
for the benefit of Rev. Dr. John R. j
Brown, pastor of the . First Baptist
chureh, who sat just behind him.
Dr. Brown referred to the excellent
example and that. the Bridgeport idea
has , been patterned after in other
places,notably in Waterbury where the
first Chautauqua assembly opened last
night with several of those scheduled
to appear in Bridgeport appearing on
the program. Dr. Brown then intro
duced Governor Patterson, one of the
brilliant orators of the South. - The
topictaken was - "Two ' Sides of a
Great Issue." '
He told the audience that while he
was governor he advocated a system
of local option and in a message veto
ing the prohibition law he had pre
sented arguments which ''had ' been
circulated by-the millions by support
ers of , the liquor interests:
"If I had my way," -he said, "I
would now consume that message in
fire and erase it from the memory of
mankind. I went recently to the Na
tional Anti-Saloon League . convention
at Columbus. . It was the only conven
tion I, ever went to where every dele
gate arrived sober and remained sober
until the end of the convention. The
convention was opened with a pray
er, ' If it had been a local option con
vention ' it would have been opened
with a corkscrew.
"Drunkenness -is a "physical torture.
The best punishment for a drunk is to
tell -him to. go and get drunk . again.
It is a thing without reason, a crime
without a recompense. Xou can't
regulate the liquor traffic as well try
to regulate, Satan. ? Saloons are as
crooked as 1 the streets of Boston. V
- 1 am glad, he continued, "that
there is not one man in this country
today with the chains .of slavery on
his limbs, bui there-is another rebel
lion coming in which we will be vic
torious and help you to release your
selves from a greater slavery than
that imposed by the slave mart"
"X once opposed prohibition in my
state and I would never have thought
that I would see" things differently. ' I
took: the "position of favoring . local
option "- while I was governor . of the
state, and vetoed the prohibition law
which the legislature passed Over my
vAtn T nr-t,r T n,,,.
of the liquor traffic from the minds
of men. ' ' : '
"I thought myself ; strong" when I
took the first local option attitude but
I soon found my mental resources use
less. S, Under the strain I. bowed to God
and. asked -for strength, and strength
came. . I came as a servant in my own
house and set it in order. - Some call
me inconsistent. ' I mean and 'want
to be called inconsistent in this. Seme
one said that my attitude was not in
accordance with that of a good Demo
crat, but I am a good Democrat to
day, nevertheless. , " t V"
- "The launching of ' this movement
for prohibition marks the greatest re- j
form in my time. 1 would not hurt or
-cripple the liquor, traffic; I would kill
it. We expect that Congress will sub
mit the proposed amendment for rati
fleation and the . movement is bound
to be successful.- You must wake ud
here and understand what it all means.
The .South and West will force pro
hibition on you if y6u do not : I look
to thevjday when there will be no sa
loon and .no poison shop beneath the
Sta-s and Stripes. The United States
has no right to commercialize the li
quor -business and ought not to put
the brand and seal of approval on Hell
fire. .. - - - -
. r"In regard to my own case I wish
to say that I have never been a drunk
ard, as some people have supposed.
but I have never before my 'conver-j
sion taken the attitude that I do now
on the subject of the .traffic in spir
ituous liquors. I favor prohibition in
any form that will either reduce or
destroy the liquor traffic. I favor it
person wide, town wide, state wide,
nation wide and world wide. . I am
neither ashamed nor abashed to stand
before you and . acknowledge ..the
wrong I did When I once advocated
policies which would have made legal
this traffic X have come to look upon
it as having no rightful place in the
scheme and economy of Christian civi
lization." ; -'---
He told of how. the "forked light
ning of liquor'" had. struck his own
first born and how he-himself had felt
its "foul and stealthy blow.'V as it
turned upon him in- its deadly wrath,
"upon me who had pleaded before the
people for its very existence." .

RE-OPEil CASE . FOR
SHORT ClIlE ROADS
Ruling Based On X Alleged
p Rebate Through Private .
4- v Tracks Contested
Washingtori.Feb. 24 Assuming that
trunk railroads are arranging to dis
continue immediately . through rates
with the Union Railroad Company, the
Newburgh ,& South Shore Railway
Company and the Lake Terminal Rair
road Company, subsidiaries of the
United Statesr .Corporation, attorneys
for the corporation today asked the
interstate commerce commission 1 re
open the matter, of "allowances to
short lines of railroads serving Indus
tries." ... - ' i ''-.
The brief filed with the commission
contends that in the transportation of
iron and steel products and of the raw
materials, including coke and coal, it
has been the general custom from the
beginning' of the Industry for the car
riers to spot cars within the industry
where they are to be loaded or un
loaded and take each car when load
ed or unloaded to the main line and
that freight rates on these commodi
ties have been continuously construct
ed on the basis of the cost of . such
services. "
It is 'further contended that while
the average car revenue of eastern
trunk lines on ail commodities is
$66.69, it is $118.54 for steel products.
Figures are also given to show that
the -same condition prevails In the
transportation of all commodities and
steel products from many other points
in eastern trunk line territory.
The petitioners contend that the
'commission was unjustified in the con
clusion that the "service" - performed
for industries adjacent to complain
ants tracks gives such industries an
obvious advantage over a shipper who
delivers and accepts his freight on a
public track.
It is ' argued that the commission
should not have found that the deliv
ery of a car upon complainants Inter
change track is a delivery for the pur
pose of. assessing demurrage and the
commission sfiouia not have round
that the admission of the industrial
railroads to- the modified per diem
agreement is an "undue, unreasonable
and unlawful preference and advan
tage to the industry."
The general effect of the report of
the commission, if carried into effect,
it is held, would be unlawfully to im
pose upon steel industries the cost of
operating terminal facilities and to
cause line carriers to discriminate
against industries located along termi
nal railroads. . -.
It would advance rates on particu
lar commodities, which rates are a
