Washington.--Opinion that the senate hearing committee will make no report on the merits or demerits of prohibition was expressed by Chairman Harreld. Emphasising that the committee is not conducting an Investigation, but merely holding a hearing on pending legislation. Senator Harreld declared such a report would be unnecessary. "Besides, who would prepare It?" he asked, ri doubt that the drys themselves cosld agree on its stjucttire and wording. 1*8 presentation would Open up a Pandora s box. "We wllljmake a report on whatever legislation is recommended for enactment." Even the wets themselves have no hope that any of their modification bills will be acted upon favorably. On the other hand, the drys are confident that the commit tee will report favorably the administration bill for tightening up the Volstead act Washington.--As the final outcropping of three weeks of intense fighting, with bales of sensational evidence being produced by wets and drys amid tense scenes absorbing the attention of the country, the wet leaders of the nation decided to concentrate upon a demand for passage by congress of the Edge bill, to permit the manufacture and sale of liquor "nonintoxlcating in fact." To accommodate the vast crowds wishing to witness the last rounds of the hearing the senate judiciary committee held its closing meetings In Uie Republican caucus room, the biggest assembly plac4 in the senate office building. One of the most prominent witnesses before the committee at the final session was Mayor Dever of Chicago, who declared porhibition is slowly destroying good government In the United States. The public welfare is ignored, Dever said, when wets and drys clash over prohibition without any thought for good government. The result has brought "pandemonium" to public life, he added, because prohibition has become a football of politics. The high point in Mayor Dever's testimony was reached when, lp reply to members of the senate committee, he revealed he had beed asked a few weeks ago by federal authorities In Chicago to order the police to raid the homes of people for the purpose of seizing stills in use for making liquor for home consumption. Referring to an assertion before the committee that the police could seize 5,000 stills in Chicago homes in twelve hours after such an order went into effect, the mayor shouted: "The statement is untrue. We will not violate the law and we should ha-ve to violate the law and def j everything history has taught us If we attempted to enter the homes of the people In this manner, without the formality of getting search warrants. We won't do it, and if we tried to do it we should Mil." In answer to a question ffom Senator Harreld, dry Republican of Oklahoma, the mayor said he believed prohibition could be enforced where local, county, state and federal authorities co-operated to the fullest extent. • WASHINGTON BRIEFS President Coolldge has suggested a compromise on the rivers and harbors bill, which, he believes, will, be acceptable to the representatives i(n congress of Michigan, Ohio, and the other lake states, as well as to Illinois and the valley states.
