THREE CENTS
Dry Forces Commence
Prohibition Defense
Churchmen Assert Modification Would Return
. Saloon and Restore Whiskey I n t e r e at
Domination —— Declare Present Evils Less
Than Those of Pre-Volstead Era.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., April Iii—(AP). Ohurchnien of many
denominations united today in an appeal to congress to stand by
the Volstead act.
With one voice. they informed the
Senate prohibition committee that
conditions have improved under the
dry law. that any modification
would court the return of saloons
dominated by the whiskey interests
and that such evils as had arisen
under the present dry regime will
disappear once prohibition is given
a fair chance under effective ea~
forcement.
The Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America. in which 28
protestant conimunlons hold mem-
bership. opened the drive of the
drys. while spokesmen for other
church bodies. Wayne Wheeler of
the anti-saloon league. and a repre-
sentativ. of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union sat at the com-
mittee Labia ready to follow up the
attack.
in a stnttmcnt read by Dr. Wil—
liam J. Ha\'en. of the American
llllile society. the federal council lie-
ilied tilit prohibition was adopted
hastily at the behest of .l l‘llrltanl-
cal minority. and declared the evils
of the dry era are far less lucnnc-
ilig than those of the old wct divs
and plundrd that the l'oistcad Act
be given a reasonable chance to
demonstrate its virtual.
iianlnlcring the table with his fist.
Dr. Lee W. lieatty, of New York.
superintendent of the Madison
Square settlement declared liquor
making was so small a factor in llil‘
tenements of New York that during
a round of calls on 94 families he
had only once caught a whiff of
home brew
Others prr'scntd th
l0 com-
. llliitco official statistics‘ from Ohio
and other sections of the country in
denial of the charge that illicit dis-
filling and bootlcgglng are lowering
the morals of the american citizen.
One of tile lay witnesses called by
the Federal Council was Mrs. Helen
H. Green. a member of the‘Clty
Council of Cleveland. She declared
poverty. drunkenness and suffering
had decreased under prohibition and
under cross examination of Senator
Reed. Democrat. Missouri. the wet
prosecutor of the committee. she in-
sisted that the only acceptable
change iii the Volatile!) Act would
be an amendment putting
teeth into the statute.

ANNIVERSARY OF
TWO EXPRESSES
Colonial and Federal
Began In May, 50
Years Age.
The Federal express, one of New
England's famous trains operating
over the New Haven and Pennsyl-
vania railroads. between Boston and
Washington, made its first run on
May 8. 1876. Next month therefore
is the golden anniversary of this
train.
The Colonial express. the day train
originally operating between Boston
and Philadelphia. and later to Wash-
ington. ‘made its first run four days
later.
The Federal and Colonial began
operation to serve travelers to the
centennial, and many travelers re-
peating the journey to the sesqulcen-
tennlal will undoubtedly remark on
the great improvement in travel con-
veniences. the outstanding feature
being the Hell Gate Bridge, g re-
markable engineering accomplish-
ment. which‘connects the New Ha-
ven and Pennsylvania systems.
The Federal when first operated
was known as the Washington Night
express and the Colonial when first
operated was known as the Phila-
delphia express and they were the
first trains to be operated‘through
from Boston to Philadelphia and
Washington.

good authority that henceforth. all

pair Work has been done here on
company trucks from all over this

had been forced to hire storage space
for the trucks covering local ter-

This reported change will affect
about 60 men employed in the gar.

This change, it is understood, will

in South Norwalk. although on a
decidedly smaller scale.
Some Merchants Like
New Parking" Rules
The present parking ordinances
in the first district have been bene-
ficlal to the merchants on the out-
skirts of the city. It is said that
many of the stores right outside the
center of the first district have been
doing twice the usual amount of
business during the past two weeks.
One Wall street lunch room
owner's receipts dropped off 81.000
last week because of the parking
restrictions. it. is claimed. The “no
parking" ordinance is in effect day
and night. and the lunchroom does
considerable business at night when
truck drivers and others stop there.
A Main street bakery has also suf-
fered the loss of business. The bak-
ery formerly made 85 pies a day for
sale in its store. The business has
fallen off so that only .15 pies are
now sold in the store.

Potatoes are running wild and

"the humble spud can bridge from

New potatoes have made their

equivalent to it peeks. In this same
week last year. new potatoes in
same barrels. cost only from $5.50
to 86.00. This fact. that there is an
average lump of in a barrel. has
placed potatoes on the center of the
produce stage.
This surprising spurt in price is
also true of old potatoes. Today. they
are selling in two-bushel sacks for
$7.75. Last April for the same quan-

The three first district fire corn-

the fire spread to the flooring of

Over too little chicks. which were

"Maine is the only state in the
country. that had any kind of a
crop. it governed the market ac-
cordingly. There has been no local

"The Maine farmers are now
cleared of their crop. all of which is
in the bands of Maine shippers. who
can do as they please with the mar-
ket, and the price. Much of this
quantity has and must be used for
seed and such shipments to the
South and West havo been very

“Another reason for the high
price of old potatoes." said Mr.
Steinberg. is the fact. that new potao

It is a known fact that shipperl
