Springfield.--In a stormy session of 'the house Judiciary committee, tha drys won the first legislative battlo of 1923 ov^r prohibition. By a roll call of 22 to 13 the committee voted an unfavorable Report on all bills and resolutions dealing with the prohibition question. The measures wer# voted on In a group. The wets found some satisfaction In this because a resolution sponsored by the Anti-Saloon league went down 19 defeat with bills to repeal the Illinois prohibition laws. New Fight in House Proper;..- The battle was only the beginning of the fight over the prohibition issue, however. When the committee report is sent to the house another battle is promised by the wets, who declare they will seek to have the house refuse to concur in the report. Throughout^ the session the drys were kept on the defensive. The meeting started with a motion by Representative Hart (Rep., Kane) to send the measures to the house without recommendation. The wet forces were led by Representativefe Hart, Igoe (Defn., Chicago), McCarthy (Rep., Kane), Green (Rep., Winnebago), Scholes (Rep., Peoria), and John R. Moore (Henry). Representative Meyers (Dem., Williamson), Rausch (Dem., Grundy), Smith (Dem., Taseweli), and Hair (Rep., Chicago), were on the firing line for the drys. Glackln Bill Defeated. The Glackln bill, establishing the Great Lakes Waterway commission and appropriating $30,000 for the commission's expenses, was defeated in the senate when it failed by on^vote to achieve the necessary majority of the entire membership.

Hart, Republican, of Aurora, Introduced a bill In the lower house of the legislature providing for the repeal of all "blue laws" now on the statute books. Mr. Hart, who has been aligned with the "wets," thus launched a counter attack against the recent "Sunday blue law" bill Introduced by Senator James E. Murray, of the Hyde Park district. The act which he desires to repeal, Mr. Hart says, Is so seldom enforced that it h#s become a dead letter. His bill would repeal sections 259, 260, 261 and 262 of Chapter 28 of the Crimlnnl Code. House Orders Recount. The house elections committee- «rdered a recount of the ballots in the contest of MiAael Hennebry (Dem.) for the seat of Representative William R. McCabe (R?p„ Will).

Action by the senate on the Dunlap bill, creating a state police force, has been deferred for another week. Important Bills in Peril. Hie legislature is "Jockeying" with the state police and women's eighthour bills and the situation has developed extreme danger for both measures. The two houses are playing on* bill against the other. They are pre paring to pass the buck to each other Few members like to admit It publicly, but many of them do privately that "if the house passes the eighthour bill, which it probably will do the senate will pass the state pollcc bill and give it to us in exchange," said a leading representative. Regardless of what action the hmis< takes on the eight-hour bill. Senatoi Henry M. Dunlap (Rep., Champaign) author of the state police bill, bellevej he can get the constabulary measurt through the senate by a narrow mar gin if there is a full attendahce whet the bill is sent to roll call.

Joeeph C. Orew, Uncle Sam's Repr* eentative, Makes America's Position Clear in a Brief Inaugural Speech. ,. Lausanne, April 24.--Safeguarding of the legitimate national Interests of the United States and of the principle of commercial opportunity for all nations was officially set forth as the guiding rule of the American representatives when the near east peace conference resumed Its labors in an endeavor to restore peace beiween the allied powers and Turkey and between Greece and Turkey. Joseph C. Grew, American minister to Switzerland, and headPof the delegation, made this clear in a brief inaugural speech following similar addresses by leaders of the other delegations. The conference then divided itself into three committees, each ol which will take up subjects In dispute, and tomorrow active discussions on concrete topics will be begun. Minister Grew said the United States welcomed the resumption of the conference. It had reconvened on a substantial basis; an understanding had already been reached on a variety of important subjects, and upon this firm foundation the United States expected soon to see erected that edifice of a just and stable peace for which the world was waiting with eagerness. Of the position of the American representatives he said: "We are here for the same purposes and in the same capacity as before the adjournment, participating not on the footing of a belligerent against Turkey nor as a party to the treaty of peace under negotiations between the allied powers and Turkey, but none the less in a fully representative capacity and with full authorization and competence to speak on behalf of the government of the United States." The question of the near eastern oil fields, especially those covered by the Chester concession, was in the foreground as the conference opened. Whether the general subject of concessions comes before the conference formally seems to depend on the success of direct negotiations between British ami French concession holders and the Turkish government. Developments Indicate .that soviet Russia will decline to be eliminated as a factor in the present negotiations but will insist on having something to say, as one of the states invited to the original conference.
