New York, June 2—The boys are
checking up on the changea repeal
has wrought in Manhattan, now that
half a year of legal dampness has
ticked away. Honestly, the effect has
been mostly negative.
The old stately habits of drinking,
personified by such names as Reisen
weber’’s, Shankley’s Rector’s and
Mouquin’s, did not come back. I won
der whether anyone very much believ
ed that .they would, despite all thei
nostalgic stories and sanguine predic
tions printed with the advent of re
peal. i
There can be little doubt that there
is more drinking now than there was
during the dry era, although it would
fall more in line with the predictions
of the wets to say that true temper
ance began with the end of the un
workable law. There is more drink
ing now—and more people are getting
arrested.
Police, I believe, have admitted un
officially that 50 per cent more rois
terers have landed in the jug during
the past six months than in the six
month period preceding. That really
proves little. Hospitals record an all
time low in alcoholic cases —which
can only mean that the liqquor is bet
ter. ,
ANALYZING TIPSINESS
The streets of New York present
phenomenon when studied with re
peal in mind. There are drunks to be
seen, as of old, but not so many very
drunk drunks. A man passes with
just a slight liift of starboard, tor an
uncertain eye. Another just stumb
les om the curb and then walks on in
apparent sobriety.
The result is that you catch your
self wondering, particularly on Sat
urday nights along Broadway wheth
er everybody isn’t a little woozy. In
the old arid days there would heave
on the horizon periodically drunks of
a fantastic and abandoned tipsiness.
These latter looped and rolled and
zoomed. They rioted outrageously
along the boulevards in long zig-zags.
They fell under automobiles, they ca
reened off elevated platforms and top
pled onto subway tracks. They were
thoroughly and poisonously drunk, but
they were, all things considered, rare.
Now they are much rarer. Probably
there is no temptation to consume all
the liquid, of whatever quality or quan
tity, in sight at a single sitting. The
inebriated of today patrol the streets
not exactly drunk, but still enveloped
by an unmistakable aura. They are
not exactly drunk. They’re rather
tight.
Finally, (alcoholics cost too much
still for them to be consumed regu
larly by the masses. Now and again
you hear of cases of clearly spurious
stuff being passed off upon the un
suspecting asi genuine. The sidewalk,
case, rapidly on the Increase here, is
pulling the bibulous out into the open
and probably doing as much for tem
perance as any other single factor,

Tremendous Vote Is Cast T
Throughout Whole County
A tremendous vote was being cast
throughout Vance county today in the
Democratic primary, and indications
in the early afternoon were that prob
ably the day would see the largest
number of votes ever cast •» a single
election in the county.
The lone State-wide contest hardly
received any attention, and was voted
on only because it was a part of the
ticket. Chief interest centered on
the congressional ticket that even

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
The early part of the day is strong
and bestows an affable disposition:
but as it advances, a tendency to
travel begins, which may develop into
a wandering, alien nature with fickle
fortunes and given to excess. Such a
person will do better to follow things
as they are rather than to go chasing
after new experiences.

By LESLIE EICHEL
New York, June 2. —The stock mar
ket hast not reacted strongly to
strikes. There possibly ip a reason.
Recent strikes have not been called by
ommunists,C but by American Fed
eration of Labor unions. The A. F.
of L. is almost as conservative as Wall
Street.
Washington, however, rs concerned.
If the A. F. of L. is upset, then the
field is open to communism.
Massed industry has failed to see
that.
Massed industry is taking direction
largely from the House of Morgan.
The House of Morgan has the great
est voice in the auto field, in the auto
accessory field and in the steel in
dustry—as well as the railroads and
public utilities.
The House of oMrgan has been
fighting the Roosevelt administration
tooth and nail —on NRA labor codes
and the stock exchange regulation
bill.

At the same time state troops were

in Cleveland. The taxis are owned
by a subsidiary of the Morgan-domi
nated General Motors. The Toledo
plant which has ibeen the scene of the
worst trouble disposes of a large part
of its product to Genera* Motors.
Governor George White of Ohio who
(as probably any other governor
would) sent the troops to Toledo, is a
small-town banker whose administra
tion has been marked by severe
charges against the state banking de
partment. The banking department
skipped examinations o$ banks in
Cleveland, and depositors lost more
than two hundred million dollars.
Toledo also has been the scene of

One of the outstanding features of

nearly half of the registration had

have been making their investigations
and are expected to have definite re
ports to submit. Chairman jeffress
has just returned from a trip to More
head City, where he made a personal
investigation into matters pertaining
to the bridge there.
“Our committees have been doing
a great deal of work on matters per
taining to these bridges and indica
tions are they will have something
definite to report with regard to each
one,” Chairman Jeffress said.
The resolution adopted by the com
mission several weeks ago declared it
to be the policy of the commission to
remove all privately owned toll bridg
es and that it would either buy exist
ing bbridges or build new ones.
When asked if the highway com
mission would extend the causeway
tirely to Wrightsville Beach, if it pur
chased that causeway and bridge, or
whether it would stop, as at present,
at Harbor Island, Chairman Jeffress
said that it was the intention of the
commission to extend the highway
entirely to the beach, provided it could
get Federal funds for this purpose.
“If we can get some more Federal
funds, we plan to extend the road-

more funds or a longer term for next

“In fact, the only hope for any of
the larger cities and towns to get any
more money to increase teachers’
salaries or to have a nine months
school term is to vote supplementary
school taxes locally, since there is no
chance of getting any more from the

much basis for anp hope that the

way to get a longer school term and

Mr. Martin also expressed his grati

the hope that other cities and towns
over the State will follow Raleigh’s
