People of Nation for Prohibition, Senator Fess Savs ml — Ohio Man Attacks Agitation Started by New York Legis lature to Legalize Sale of Beer and Light Wines. By Yntrersal Service. Washington. March IT.—Senator- j elect Simon P. Fess of Ohio, in a letter to Governor Smith of New York today, declared the agitation started by the New York state legislature to legalize the use of beer and light wines was contrary to the collective sentiment of the nation. The letter was a reply to a com munication from Governor Smith's office transmitting the copy of the resolution recently passed at Albany memorailzing congress to modify Hie prohibition enforcement act. After tracing the history of the prohibition movement the Fess letter in part is *» follows: “There has been a well organized propaganda to secure a compromise on the beverage question. I do not think it a wise movement. My de cision is not incidental, but drawn from facts known* to all who have followed the lesson of the evils of drink habits. People for Prohibition. “The people of this country are not against prohibition, hut are for it. The 2.75 beer compromise was offer ed to Ohio, a great industrial state, end was defeated by over 189,000. Cali fornia, in the last election, adopted a state code in harmony with the fed deral act by a majority of over 30. 000, when two years before such a measure was defeated by 65,000. “These beer compromise measures have been defeated by referendum in Michigan by 207.000 majority; in Washington. Oregon, Colorado, Ari zona and other states. Straw votes taken among the wets may show a sentiment for beer, but real votes in which all people participate show that people sustain the law in effects e form. Surveys Conflicting. "The survey made by two of the great wet papers of the nation sev eral months ago disclosed, liy their own estimate, that the conspmtpion of beverage intoxicants had decreas ed 70 per cent. The survey made by others formerly unfriendly to prohibi tion, Indicates that the number, of regular drinkers has decreased from over 20,000,000 to 2.500.000. “The selfish rich and well-to-do are the ones who are making the out cry against prohibition. Their supply of liquor is running low and they are irritated at the inconvenience of get ting more, or the fact that the liquor may be poisoned. Both the well-to-do and those of moderate means will find It beneficial in every way to obey tha law and secure the advantages of total abstinence. No Compromise Possible. “There can be no compronnse with lawlessnes. As long as the eight eenth amendment is in the constitu tion it should be enforced. When the people do not want it they can repeal it. It is dangerous doctrine to ad vocate a compromise oil law enforce ment. Practically all of the states have adopted a state's standard In enforcement similar to or more stringent than that contained in the national act. "To advise the federal government to compromise when the states al ready have set as high or a higher standard is indefensible and inconsis tent on the part of those who have advocated states' rights in order to protect tlie liquor traffic before we had national prohibition.” For New School Buildings. Beatrice, Neb.. March 17.—(.Spe cial.)—The Parent-Teachers associa tion held a meeting at Central school to discuss various school problems, among which is the construction of a new school building for Junior classes and also the modern grade building to supplant the old Central school building. The growth of the city makes it imperative that new build ings be erected the coming year. Naval Base at Frisco. Washington, March 17.—Formal or ders establishing the naval operating base at San Francisco have been sent to Hear Admiral Halstead, command ing the 12th naval district.

He was knighted by the king of Den mark. thereby acquiring the title of "his grace.” ami was In many other ways honored and feted by a grate ful nation, proud that one of its own should achieve such success In the world's newest and most hazardous industry. Accused by Pilot. At the same time Larsen was in I Denmark receiving these horrors, charges were being made against him In New York by Ernest Buehl. one of his pilots, who accused the president of the J-L Aircraft corporation of persuading Buehl to *<t fire to the concern's airplane factory at 4'en | tral Park.

The third man escaped in the woods. The two were brought to Buckley and, closely guarded, were given surgical attention.

The men fired into the air and held up Going, the train conductor and 12 passengers, lining them up on the station platform. Going had heard th* -hots and -k the money from the safe and put it in another part of the car. After threats to shoot him if he did not disclose where the money was hidden i ad failed, the men left the station.

America Lakes First Place in Manufacturing United States Advances to Leading Position in Indus trial Field During Last Two Generations. New York. March 17.—<**>— In the span of little more than two genera tions the United States has assumed the leading position among all na tions in tlio volume and variety of its flianufactured production, the mun ber of wage earners engaged in man ufacturing, the power applied to pro cesses and the value of products, the national confermei board says in an analysis of a recent census of manu faetm ere. "From 1949 to 1919 the total value of products manufactured in the I'nited States rose from $1.092,000.(*i)t> to nearly *«2.jtMi.QOO.ftOO nnd the num ber of wage earners cot ployed in man ufacturing from 937,039 to 9.096.372. In the first 20 ;■< m s of this century the personnel of manufacturing In dustries ritare than doubled, while the total value of manufactured products in 1919 \Nts approximately five .and one-half times the total In 1999. ’ the report says. Increase in Ktttplo) nn-nt "An Increasing proportion ■ f the working population had been drawn into manufacturing. Of cu h 1.000 persons engaged in gainful occupa tions In 1S99, about 192 were em ployed in manufacturing industries. The corresponding figure 20 years later was 260, representing an in crease of about 42 per cent. In some 1 states the percentage gain In the r umber of person* employed In tnanu farturing relative to the total popula tion gainfullv occupied was much larger. "This di velopn.ent has taken place, however, without increasing the pro portlon of women and children in in dustry The entrant'! of women into industry has no more than kept pace with the Industrial growth, while preparation of workers under 16 ; years of age declined almost 60 per ' Cent ill the period from 1999 to 1319.” r.8pemltturea ln< reason. The growth in the personnel of manufacturing industry and the ef fect of in« reused production on the standard of living are reflected in the increasing expenditures for wages und service, accompanies* t.»y a rapid ly mounting average cost of service to the employer.
