UIMIIi Spanish Palace Celebrates One of the most striking displays during the exposition at Barcelona, Spain, last year was the illumination of the national palace. Eight power ful beams of light gave the structure the effect of wearing a diadem. In the center section and flowing down from the palace were several cascades of water supplying a large fountan spraying water 200 feet high. The light beams were visible for several miles.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Center of Stage in Capital Held by Prohibition Enforcement. By EDWARD W. PICKARD PROHIBITION was again the dom- I inant topic in Washington, dis placing the tariff and the naval confer ence in London. Somewhat hurried by political pressure, the Wickersham crime commission made a preliminary report and in submitting it to con gress President Hoover made recom mendations for legislation designed to facilitate enforcement of the dry laws. Then the fireworks started. The commission’s report was thus neatly summarized by the Boston Herald: “In effect Chairman Wickersham and his associates say: ’Whether the Eighteenth amendment and the Vol stead act are wise legislation or not, we do not choose to say. The law is here. Conditions in the courts and elsewhere are such that enforcement under ideal conditions has not been responsible. Set up some new ma- made by the commission were: Unification of enforcement under the Department of Justice. Machinery for speeding up prohibi tion cases in the federal court. Codification of all statutes relating to prohibition. Amendment of Volstead act to fa cilitate prosecution of padlock injunc tions. Here Is what President Hoover asked of congress: Reorganization of the federal court structure so as to give relief from congestion. Consolidation of the various agen cies engaged in prevention of smug gling of liquor, narcotics, other mer chandise and aliens over our frontiers. Provision of adequate prisons and reorganization of parole and other practices. Specific legislation for the District of Columbia. Legislation to give United States court commissioners enlarged powers in minor criminal cases. Transfer of prohibition machinery from Treasury department to the De partment of Justice. IN THE house these recommenda tions were referred to the several committees especially concerned, and there was an apparent disposition to push the administration measures through in quick time; but it was thought they would encounter much op position in the senate. The constitu tional lawyers in both houses were prepared to fight especially the com mission’s plan to permit United States commissioners to handle petty prohibition cases on the ground that it deprived citizens of their constitu tional right of trial by jury. Mr. Wickersham explained that this was a misapprehension, the plan merely assuring the defendant a speedy trial with the right to appeal to another court in which he would be tried by a jury. . ^The wets in the house organized for the coming battles by electing J. Charles Linthicum of Maryland leader of the bloc. Previously Representative James M. Beck of Pennsylvania had declined the post, explaining that while he opposed the prohibition law, he believed it to be “the manifest duty of the administration to enforce it.” Representative La Guardia of New York made a surprise attack on the drys when he raised a point of order on the prohibition provisions of the pending Treasury department appro priation bill and offered a resolution to declare the Eighteenth amendment inoperative. La Guardia set forth the proposition that only ten of the state legislatures ratified the Eighteenth amendment within seven years, as re quired by its third section. The others, he said, ratified merely the joint resolution, which later became he constitutional article. Hence, he argued, the amendment and Its en- THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA. forcement legislation automatically died three years ago. ALL this hullabaloo coincided with the tenth anniversary of the ad vent of national prohibition, and at the same time the Anti-Saloon league opened its twenty-fourth annual con vention in Detroit. The leaders of the organization announced plans for raising a “war chest” of $50,000,000 for use during the next ten years and said they were determined to rout ut terly the organized forces that seek repeal or modification of the Eight eenth amendment and the Volstead act. General Superintendent F. Scott Mcßride in his address assuming a rather remarkable knowledge of the Creator’s ideas, declared “The league was born of God. It has been led by Him and will Fight on while He leads.” Dr. A. J. Barton, chairman of the executive committee, said : “The Anti- Saloon league is the most hated and feared organization in America. The wets are more and more amazed at the strength of our organization. In a pitying and patronizing way they announce that we are dead or at least moribund. The wish is father to the thought; they know that we are very much alive.” ON THURSDAY the senate, by a majority of ten votes, rejected the proposal of the Republican regulars ^uba^sugar^wa^adoptea^^t^3& The finance committee had proposed a rate of 2.20 cents on Cuban sugar and the bill passed by the house put the rate at 2.40 cents. The Western independent Republic ans, who combined with the Demo crats to knock out of the Republican bill all rate increases except those on agricultural products, split on the sugar duty. Senators Borah of Idaho and Norris of Nebraska, leaders of his bloc, were among those voting against an increased rate. Governor green of Michigan, acting on recommendation of Ar thur D. Wood, commissioner of par dons and paroles, has commuted the sentences of the five victims of the state’s former “life for a pint” law, reducing their terms from life impris onment to 7% to 15 years, in con formity to the amended statute. The sixth sentenced under the former law committed suicide in his cell. Oscar G. Olander, Michigan’s com missioner of public safety, announced that the state police would be pro vided with fast automobiles equipped with machine guns and tear bombs to stop rum running between Detroit and Chicago. The otlicers will wear bullet proof vests. In Providence, R. L, a special grand jury called to consider evidence in the slaying of three men aboard the rum runner Black Duck by coast guards men reported to the Superior court that, after thorough investigation, it had found no indictment. SECRETARY OF STATE STIMSON and the rest of the American dele gates to the naval limitation confer ence landed at Plymouth Friday morn ing and were speedily carried up to London. There. Mr. Stimson spent several hours in conference with Prime Minister MacDonald, and on the two following days he talked confi dentially and at length with Premier Tardieu of France and Dine Grandi, Italian foreign minister. Presumably these conversations did much to clear the way to a tentative agreement in the conference, which was to open Tuesday. To the advance guard of the news paper correspondents from all over the world Mr. MacDonald said Great Brit ain would propose the abolition of bat tleships and submarines, not with any great hope of obtaining total aboli tion. but in the strong hope of secur ing a drastic reduction in these forms of armament and their possible extinc tion after a term of years. He favors reduction by categories rather than global tonnage, but France and prob ably Italy are committed to the latter plan and it is believed the United Stales is ready to accept It. The French and Italian delegations were reported still far apart on the question of naval parity. However, fair minded observers in London wore convinced that all five of th® delegations were sincere in their desire to obtain re suits of real internatienal value and that while each of them would insist on adequate national defense, all were against the principle of armed su premacy. Therefore there is reason for optimism. DELEGATES of the allies and of Germany in the conference at The Hague finally reached an agree ment on the several questions of sanctions and formulated two dec larations on the subject to be part of the Young plan protocol, the way to the signing of which was thus cleared. Germany agreed that in case, she wilfully defaulted any of the Young plan provisions any creditor na tion might appeal to the court of in ternational justice and if that court gave an affirmative decision, the cred itor power or powers should resume “full liberty of action.” That, of course, means the possibility of armed intervention or occupation, and both the Germans and the British hesitated to sign it, but this was necessary to prevent utter failure of the confer ence. Paul Moldenhauer, German minister of finance, had already prom ised that the Reicbsbank would par ticipate in the financing of the world bank for reparations, though Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank, had fought stubbornly against this, poned becomes payable immediately, and a special advisory committee is to determine whether Germany’s eco nomic life is endangered when mora torium is asked. SENATOR CARAWAY, chairman of the lobby investigating committee, reported to the senate denouncing tariff lobbyists, especially those of the sugar interests, as a set of grafters “fatten ing upon the donations of credulous business men, who might as well give their money to a palm reader or a crystal gazer.” He estimated that the sugar lobbyists, both high and low tariff, had raised more than $400,000 in their campaign to influence con gressmen. The report said the com mittee had found no impropriety nor anything open to censure or criticism on the part of the President. THROUGHOUT much of the Missis sippi and Ohio river valleys flood conditions were increasing until they threatened to be the worst in years. Vast areas of farm land were inun dated and many towns were isolated. Southern Indiana especially suffered, and extremely cold weather added to the distress, there and elsewhere. The severest storms of the winter swept over the North Central states, and the heavy snowfalls extended even to Portland, Ore., and southern California. Still worse in destruction of life and property were the great gales that prevailed in England and northern Europe. About fifty persons were killed and many injured, the ma jority of deaths being due to the foundering of vessels. GROVER CLARK returned to Piep ing from a six weeks’ inspection trip in the Wei river district on behalf of the China International Famine Relief and reported that thousands of persons are dying daily from famine and exposure. He declared two millions are doomed to die within a few months and that there was no hope of saving them because of transportation difficulties and fear of bandits. POPE PIUS XI issued an encyclical severely criticizing co-educational methods and declaring the right of the church and family to take precedence over the state in education of children. The state, he said, should have charge of military education for the common good, bnt should avoid an excess of so-called physical and military instruc tion. Though especially a part of the pope's controversy with Mussolini, the encyclical was translated into sev eral languages and sent to the church throughout the world. The Italian press accorded It the severe criticism of complete silence, which brought forth an angry rebuke in the Vatican official organ. Ossewntore Romano. (©. 1930 Western Newspaper Union.), Revenge Apt to Recoil on Innocent Bystander Here is one of those things. A liner coming into New York harbor in a fog sank a freight car ferry’. The liner, later going out of New York in fine clear weather and keeping strictly in the channel, scraped her bottom on an obstruction, had to put back and was delayed on her journey. Investigation showed that those cantankerous freight cars had been lying in ambush to get even with that liner. Among the losses Incurred by the delay was one to shippers of SG,- 000,000 in gold to France. The gold ar rived a day late and the interest at 6 per cent amounted to about SI,OOO. Which shows that those who set out to get revenge are very apt to hurt the innocent bystander. The episode also is a striking instance of the well known perversity of inanimate objects, the commonest example of which is the collar button that always rolls un der the bureau just as the little wom on is calling up stairs. “For goodness sake hurry or you’ll miss the first picture!” Honor Comes Too Late to Interest Inventor If there was ever an unfortunate in ventor it was old Jim Fitch, the genius of Philadelphia, who plied the Delaware river in a steamboat of his own design and construction 22 years before the Fulton effort on the Hud son. Fitch spent years in working out his idea and did it with a consider able degree of success, but he was a very humble member of society, given to minor spells of self-indulgence, so that he was never taken seriously by anyone and no hand was raised to help him. On the contrary he met with opposition and misfortune. One blow after another fell upon his shoul ders and finally he gave up and wan dered south, where he lived a while and then died and was buried there. The story of his setback is a long one. The only recognition that he ever re ceived is about to be bestowed upon him in the shape of a celebration by his descendants which will be held at an early date, but it is a little too late to be of any interest to old Jim Fitch. —Washington Star.
