Votes as Unit in Requesting Copy
of All Testimony on Re
cent Eenort
Washington, Feb. 17. 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. K.iwyer,
investigator from the commissi OS)
The contents of the Dtr.nison-Saw-yer
report hr.ve beer, revealed in
cidentally in the references made io
it in individual commissioners' state
ments which were appended bp the
report proper.
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.

companies for safe investments every year. Money so
invested will yield a fair rate of interest on the invest

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.
