Assistant Federal Attorney Peter J. assigned to passing on the validity of liquor law arrests, was in a quandary as to whether the policeman's compalnt against Max should be dismissed or should be entertained.

"A wife, though she Is owner of the house, cannot waive her husband's constitutional rights," said Commissioner Epstein. "A husband is still head of the family under the common law.

CoiKiert. New York lawyer, also a witness, predicted that the Government would be overthrown at the polls or civil war would result from a "real effort to enforce prohibition." He said If the Government made a severe effort to enforce the law by ordering the Army and Navy out to see that It was enforced "you would have to make accommodations for between 50,000,000 and 6,000,000 of the 120.000,000 A direct and honest elfort to enforce the law, he said, would bring about the consequences of either placing half the population in for liquor violations or In a civil war. Calls It Religious Dogma "Millions of people will no longer be treated as law breakers," he declared, arguing that there was serious unrest over the situation. Congress, he continued, would not dare bring about actual enforcement because it "knows that it won't be done, can't be done and that it is not being done." He said prohibition had resulted In the Nation losing the gtound gained toward temperance before Its enactment.

He described it a "fad, a not'on. a religious dogma." Coudtrt contended the Elgh teenth Amendment had proved fu tile. "There Is no enforcement of thS) law. either in the State or Federal courts in New York State," he said. "As time goes on there will be lesi serious effort to bring about en-iorcement.

Prohibition enforcement in New York by the Ftdrra! Government is a farce, because the) people resent the spirit of the law."

Williams said Federal Grand Juries "have not been quick to indict" on prohibition cases. The foreman of a recent eastern M13. souri district Federal Grand Jury had declared that Indictments for violations of the Eighteenth Amendment would not be returned, he said, and the Judge had thanked the Jury and excused it. It was always understood, Williams added, that neither the Circuit prosecutor nor the State prosecuting attorney would attempt to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment. Williams asserted that in the county in which he resided there had developed a business whereby wealthy manufacturers of alcohol were hiring farmers and others to take the rap" for them In the Federal courts when conlronted with charges ol violations of the prohibition laws.

He accused the Federal authorities of permitting this condition to con tinue, ana added that public opinion against the dry law was so strong that the situation was tolerated. 1 lie former Senator said that the .5 open'V discussed their bootleggers and the Wices demanded for liquor without feeling in any way that they were doing anything wrong in violating the law. Many of these persons, he testified, were substantial citizens. Williams said trie people In his nart of Missouri they were no' bound by prohibition laws becauw they were not consulted and their consent was not sought when the 18th Amendment was adopted. He was asked by Representative Simmers.

Democrat, Texas, to explain what ho meant, and he declared that the 18th Amendment was the first and only one that increased the power of the Federal Government and deprived the people of their rights. At this point the witness explained thit he was not a candidate for any office and charged that the views of many members of Con- Tress were expressed on the prohi- Dition question because they were candidates.

British Women Fight For 'Right to Hang London, Feb. 20 (JP) Great Braitain is having a great controversy over propriety of capital punishment where women are concerned, with many leading femtninists contending, as one of the sisterhood put it, "women have as much right to be hanged as men." Doctor Methven, governor of Maidstone Prison, recently urged that women be exempted from the death penalty in murder cases.

He immediately aroused the antagonism of the Women's Freedom League, whose secretary. Miss Underwood, said in effect she was strongly opposed to capital punishment but she "would be hanged" rather than agree to exemption of women while men were not exempt.
