Without a dissentirg vote the Senntp agreed to the resolution of Millard E. Tyd ingr D. l. Senator from Maryland, asking for the evidence from the Na tional Commission on Law Observ ance and Enforcement on which it based its proposals for new legisla tion. ."SBC Mr. Tydings's resolution was the modi tied form of an eari'sir bill in wiiich he had proposed to call George W. Wicflersham. chairman of the commission, before the Senate. The present resciuifon asks "that the commission be requested to send to the Senate, lor its information in drafting the legislation recommended, a copy of all the ::: tirnony heard by it and of all the veidence laid be fore it. except no far as uch testi mony or evidence may iittve been re ceived under the pledge of secrecy." The Senate further asks that "the commission be requested to send to the Senate, for its in format ion. the reports o its expi rts who investi gated the various phar.es of prohibf tion." The resolution in general, and the second part in particular, refers to the so-called Sawyer -.Oeiinison report wliieh figures prominently in the in dividual statements of 11 commis sioners. This report was made by Henry S. Dcnnison, of Massachusetts, manufactur; r. and Alberi E.

Messrs. Dennison and Sawyer con cluded that prohibit ion had neve "ill recentiy had a fair trial. It was up on the facts as gathered in this docu ment that the commission ftnaliy red ommended much greater ! : : ses ,r dry personnel than are conveyed tp recommendations from the prohibi tion bureau itself. It is generally re ported that it gives statistics! facta that would aid the dry side of tuc controversy.

DAWES WILL RETAIN POST LOudon General Dawes set at rem reports that tie intended to resign :. amlJarsador to the court of 9t. James and return to America, either in con nectkm with the forthcoming world's fair at Chicago or for political work. The fair, he said, was "a year ahead of itself" so far as preparations were concerned and everything was prog ressing so favorably that his pres ence at Chicago was not needed. "Unless some unforeseen circum stances arises." he told the corres pondent. "I expect to serve my full term as ambarsador. iThis would meaa another two years.) I see no reason why I should have to leave here." The general who has a host of friends here, seems perfectly satis fied with his present job. altho i; Is reported to be oostlag him $100,000 a year out his own pocket. En announc ing hif Intention to remain here for two more years, unless seme unfore Bt mi eircuiuRtanre srieoe, he wave j his underslung pipe, and said: "I am sixty-five years old. What more should I want to do?" And the desire of the formrr vice president to remain here suits th British people perfectly. England, for the most pnrt. hat expressed frank liking for the American am bassador. Washington The decision of Am bassador Dawes to remain In Lion don has brought to an end tiie man;, rumors which have centered recent ly around the London post. A steady Improvement lo Anglo-American re lations lias marked the ambassador'-; tenure of office. Of course times may be hard, and jill that, but we do feel that the housewife who sold her canary as :ne:i3ure of economy was carrying things to extremes. I I i Read the Journal Want-Ads.
