WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. —1
have just run with Bryan.
Not politically speaking— ;
But down the main corrltlor of a
local hotel, to finish peripatetically
our interview, begun just a litttle
while before over the comfortable
remnants of a breakfast of hot
cakes and ham in the hostelry din
ing room.
The thrice aspirant for the coun
try’s presidency was in a hurry or
something, which left nothing else
but a literal running fire of ques
tions and answers towards furth
ering a mutual desire to solve the
country’s liquor enforcement prob
lem.
William Jennings optimistically
predicted that bootlegging would
soon be a thing of the past.
Some Rapier Irony
He passed over Governor Pin
chot’s recent pillorying of the pro
hibition machine and its apparent
incapability to cope with growing
/disregard for enforcement of the
Volstead act with such lightning
dispatch that the mind was (left
aquiver and doubtful as to wheth
er Bryan was pleased or not with
the excoriation.
No grapejuice appeared on the
board, but he ate his ham with a
great relish and pushed through
the steaming plate of hot cakes
with a gleam in his eye wnen reier
nng to the upris’iig of public senti
ment in favor of total temperance.
“Speaking of Governor Pinchot’s
declaration, in which he aruosed
public concren by holding up the
prohibition enforcement machine
as a politically hampered agency,
do you consider this as a seeming
attempt on the part of the state to
shift responsibility to the federal
government?” I asked.
t lam glad you used the word
seeming,’ ” Bryan replied. “Be
cause I would not wish to think it
purposeful. It is perfectly proper,
?, ow ® V j r ’ for a governor to remind
the federal government what it can
do, which the state cannot do.
’ *The action of the governor in
calling attention to what the fed
erhl government can do and the ac
tion of the president, calling atten
tion the what the governor "can do,
should result not only in better law
enforcement but in harmonious law
enforcement.”

think, encourage law breakers?”
the question was asked.
“No! Because publicity is a
necessary part of law enforcement
Law breakers can act in secret, but
law enforcement must be in pub
lic.
“The greatest encouragement
given violators of the law is given
oy public officials who sympathize
,vith breakers of the law as, for in
stance, the action of the State of
New York in withdrawing from law
enforcement, and the I'ennsplvaxiia
legislature’s refusal of appropria
tions for enforcement work.
“There seems to be one thing
that is strangely overlooked, and
that is the emphasis of importance
of total abstinence. Prohibition
rests entirely on the theory that
intoxicants are harmful.
“All churches, colleges, and all
public men ought to be anxious to
take themselves out of the suspect
ed classes .by announcing their own
total abstinence. Unless they do
they cannot complain when wets
charge prohibitionists drink them
selves but don’t want anyone else
to drink.
A Sincere Man.
“A total abstinence sentiment
back of prohibiton is the only- guar
antee of permanency. But prohibi
tion will finally triumph over all
organized opposition. We still have
murder and stealing in spite of
laws and statute books. But kill
ing and stealing are individual mat
ters.
'‘‘There are no organizations
supporting killing and stealing. And
,io newspapers supporting killing
and stealing.”
Thus ended our chat, begun with

“LAWFUL LARCENY ’ IS
PARAMOUNT SPECIAL
“Lawful Larceny,” the Para
mount special production playing at
the Rylander theatre on Thursday
and Friday, is said to be the last
word n lavish costuming and elab
orate settings. There are some
special dance numbers that are real
knockouts in themselves, and the
atmosphere of ancient Egypt is
introduced by means of a prologue,
in which Nita Naldi is seen as
Cleopatra.
The cast includes Nita Naldi,
Conrad Nagel, Hope Hamptcu and
Lew Cody, four of the stare of
the Paramount stock company.
The story concerns a young wife
who on returning from a trip
abroad finds that her husband has
fallen into the clutches of a design
ing woman and her maly accomplice,
aud has given an 1. 0. U. Tor a
large amount. The wife sets
about to get batk his money, as
well as her husband’s I. O. U., and
thereby save his honor.
How she succeeds is interestingly
shown in the ensuing scenes of the
picture, in which Miss Hampton, in
the role of Marion Dorsey, manages
in a decidely novel manner to effect
an acquaintance with Guy Tarlow,
accomplice of Vivian Hepburn,
modern Cleopatra, who has Mari
on’s husband under her thumb, and
through him is brought to Vivian’s
gambling rooms. Matters start to
hum when the latter learns the
identity of this visitor.-
Today’s attraction at the Rylan
der is “Rouged Lips” with Viola
Dana, in which this delightful little
star is said to have one of her most
pleasing roles.

i To me, Bryan seemed a bit worn,
and thriner, too. The upward
sweep of his hair, which once form
ed a sot of trough in the rear,
looks more tidy since slipped. His
voice, however, still retains its
; kindly ring. And regardless of
I however else he ■ strikes one, the
impression lingers after talking
with him, that he is above all a
gentleman, and one with ideals.
He is tolerant to a degree and

WHERE WILL SCOTCH

SCOTLANDB DRV?
British Writer Sees World Go

esting Question
JOHNSON LEADS IN FIGHT
Jeffery Farnol, British Writer,
Thinks England Will Follow
Lead of Scotland
By MAURICE HENLE
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—Haig
and Haig, well-known a “otch team,
will have retired fri.n the bonny
wee footlights in another genera
tion. And Johnny Walker, also a
Scotch comedian of no mean ability
once you get him started, will by
that time be a fit candidate for
the Old Men’s Home.
That’s the prediction brought to
this country by Jeffery Farnol.
famous English weaver of roman
tic novels.
Scotland, he thinks, stands a
good chrnce of going dry. Maybe
within a generation.
“America,” says the novelist, “is
pointing the way. As she is lead
ing, so will the world follow. The
prohibition act here in the United
States, while probably too extreme,
is but an indication of the way- the
wind of the world is blowing.
“The enfire world will be dry
some day. Sooner probably than
either the American or English
public thinks.”
And Farhol is wondering where
Scotch whisky will come from when
Scotland goes dry. For he is no
prohibitionist.
“Pussyfoot Johnson is concen
trating on Scotland,” he says. “And
I realy believe Scotland will go dry
before England. We English are
a beer-drinking people. But the
Scotch they will have their tea!”
Whereupon he asked me to have
a drink—of plain unadulterated
tea.
The drink moved to sober
thought. Here was a man whose
early life was one long succession
of knocks and -bumps. Twenty-four
years ago he came to New York
to make good. He was about 21.
But he could not get much mate
rial published, and to earn money
he painted scenery in the Astor
theater. At night he finished what
has proved his best seller, “The
Broad Highway.” But he could
find no publisher, and finally in
desperation he sent It back home to
London, It was accepted and he
went home. too.
And with the exception of the
few days he was here to report the
Dempsey-Carpentier fight for a
London newspaper, he has remain
ed in London.
“Let’s talk about American girls
for a while,” his interviewer sug
gested.
“Ah! What could we add to that
suhiect?”
j “How do they compare with Eng
lish ones?”
“Well, your girls make fine pals,
but the English' girls make better
wives.”
He wouldn’t amplify that.
“But these New York girls do
wear their clothes well, deucedly
well!” he added.
GRAVE OF BISHOP IS
FOUND NEAR PEKING
PEKING, Nov. 14. (By Asso
ciated Press)—The body of Berna
din della Chiesa, first Christian
Bishop of Peking, who died Decem
ber 31, 1721, has been disinterred
and reburied with fitting cere
monies at Hungschialou, a suburb
of Tsinan, after being lost for twe
centuries.
Bishop della Chiesa was born
May 8, 1644. at Venice where he
later poined Franciscan order. He
belonged to the same family as the
late pope, Giacomo della Chiesa.
This relationship was largely re
sponsible for the efforts to locate
the grave of the bishop, according
to aticles in Chinese papers.
When della Chiesa became bish
op of Peking there was bitterj con
tention between the Jesuits cn one
- hand and the Dominicans, Francis
| cans and other orders on the oth
er. As a result of the strife, so
I the story goes, Bishop della Chiesa
i did not reside in Pekin but lived
!at L’ntsing, where he died. He
I was buried in a large Christian
| cemetery four and a half miles
. south of the city.
The headstone and oratory at
j the grave disappeared; the mound
j sank and became neglected, and all
I trace of the burial place was lost.

CDDMI TWIRLER IDOL
Os SPORTS PUBLIC
Luque Lauded For Splendid
Pitching Record In
Havana
HAVANA, Nov. 14.—(8y Asso
ciated Press) —Adolfo Luque, prem
ier. twirler of the National League
is for the time the symbol of
Cuba’s national pride and the idol
of the sm ill boy, the girl, and in
fact almost everybody.
Cuba, or at least that- part around
Havana, loves .baseball and cn af
ternoons and all day Sundays the
year round there is hardly a va
cant lot without its improvised dia
mond, in addition to tne well ap
pointed parks of the semi-profes
sional amateur leagues. The Cin
cinnati ace’s career was followed
last summer by hundreds of fans
who stood around score boards or
harried the newspapers <or tele
phonic information.
When the Cuban twirler return
ed home, the army and the navy
almost every civic organization
and every local baseball associa
tion turned out to do honor to ‘ljl
Habano Perlecto” The Perfect
Havanan.
He was made manager of the
Havanan baseball team and crowds
almost mobbed the .ball park when
he was expected to pitch; sporting
editors contested to see who could
print most about him; the “LuqUe
Tie,” and other articles appeared
in store windows and the comic
weeklies began to show his face al
most as freqently as they did those
of President Zayas, Ambassador
Crowder or “Liborio,” the Cuban
Uncle Sam.
And Luque along with Liborio
occupies a place that the head of
the republic and the American am
bassador can not always command,
*or no cartoonist dares make a
jibe at him. In fact Luque usual
ly has a background of' envious
Sitafill boys and admiring, young
ladies in his cartoons.' - i , ■.
ENGLISH POLICE $ . ~J
LONDON, Nov. 14. (By Asso
ciated Press) The interest and
and courtesy shown by the London
police in the welfare of the public
constantly brings its reward. This
is usually expressed in bequests to
policemen’s funds, hospitals and
homes by people of.varying circum
stances who, at, cine time or anoth
er,, have been aided by policemen.
The banner day occurred .recent
ly when ■ seven sums., varying from
SIOO to $15,000 were left,to these
organizations. o.ne donor sent the
follow’,ag note with, his wlftii <■
“I do this because I have always
admired the unfailing sympathy
and tact of the nolice to both rich
and poor alike.”
WRECKED SAILING VESSEL
TO BE BLOWN UP
SAVANNAH, Nov. 14. Tne
?oast guard cutter Yamacraw has
been ordered to leave here end pro
ceed to a point 50 miles south of
the mouth of the Savannah river
and about twenty miles out to sea
to investigate the wreck reported
to be floating there. The wreck
was said to* be a sailing vessel and
that if posible the Yamacraw
would tow it into port to be sal
vaged and if this could not be ac
complished to blow it up as it is
a menace to navigation. It is not
known what ship the wreck was.
College women live longer than
other women, according to a study
made by Myra M. Hulst of the
