Washington. - Representative Volstead and oilier dry lenders boggc.1 the House Rules Committee lor a special closure rule to rush the supplemental Volstead bill through the House without amendments, but because of the Opposition that was shown the committee adjourned without action. The dry leaders want to get tiie hill passed before the Internal Revenue Run-au cun curry into effect the ruling of former Attoniev General Palmer that beer may la- prescribed as medicine. The measure will prevent tiie prescription of l«-er. give Hie prohibition commissioner power to control liquor fierndls, regulate stringently the use of ah-ohol in medicine and- tighten up the original Volstead a.t generally. ■ halrinan tTmipbell of tiie ru’i-s committee said that no objection would l.e blade to tiie section preventing tiie prescribing of beer, hut hat oilier sections would have t" be considered carefully to view of the appie sitlou. Predictions were made that if prescription of beer was put Into effect by the Internal Revenue Bureau the dry leaders would try to hurry some prohibitive law through congress, hut Wayne B. Wheeler counsel for the Anti-Sal. .hi league, said that Ids organisation wanted tiie entire hill enacted. In making a plea In behalf of tiie siiecial rule Mr. Wheeler asserted that a "big bootleggers' trust." behind which is a combination of "certain brewers" and financial interests In large communities was now operating.

London. — Sinn Felners nttempted their most audacious roup in England, when armed men. In fast automobllea, sped through the environs of London and Liverpool and cut more than 300 telegraph and telephone wires in an effort to Isolate tiie two cities. Officials ranked It In daring with the recent I.liming of tiie Dublin Custom House and the destruction of all government pn|H‘rs. Wire experts undoubtedly were employed, as in most cases efforts were made to damage the irunk lines, especially the main wire to Ireland. t)tu- group, working around London, traveled in a speedy. Inclosed car and all were iirmed. In o’ •• case Sinn Feltiers exchanged shots with policemen who tried to halt litem. Railway signal wires were cut in one place, but fortunately no disaster resulted. The Sinn Felners began operations a- soon ns i: was dark and continued working until early morning. Not only wen- v Ires clipped, but In many cases were sawed through. Most of the damage was done northwest of London, where a few months ago there were n series of incendiary fires. It was evident that several gangs were at work, for it would have been physically impesihle f»r one cur to travel over so large an an a. Four arrests were made In Liverpool. including two armed men. In Ijiiidon. however, on arrests have be, i imide, although Scotland Yard has a large force of detectives at work on

the iitse.

Whether these operations were Intended merely to embarrass the English «r were part of a more serious campaign about to be begun in Iceland only the Sinn Felners can say. Recently, however, there have been indications that the Sinn Felners intended to intensify their war against the crown forces.
