Washington, May 26.—Meas-
ures for repeal of the wartime
prohibition act in so far as it ref-
lates to wines and beer and for
tlie enforcement of that act as
well as the constitutional amend-
ment were introduced' today in
the Senate by Senator Phelara ©f
-California. «- — -
L Bills for enforcing wartime
and constitutional prohibition
Were introduced by Senators
Sheppard of Texas and Jones of
Washington. -
Senator Sheppard's bill pro-
vides for a seperate commission-
er of prohibition, with a force
of assistants, and is underatood
to have the approval of the Anti-
Saloon Leagae of. America. In
the Sheppard bill- liquor is de-
fined as "any distilled malt,
spiritous, yineous, fermented or
alcoholic liquor and ail alcoholic
liquids'and compounds, whether
medicated, proprietary, patent

icants for beverage purposes'.held

empted from the provisions of
the measure, as is also the sale
of alpoholic patent or proprietary
medicines which are nonpotable
and not capable of being used
for beverage purposes. Cogni-
zanc e of ;th e-air p lan e is taken by
the bill, which prohibits trans-
portation of intoxicants by that
means as well as by common
carriers .J
■ Another prohibition measure
prohibits the advertising""of liq-
uor in newfspapers, on signboards
or by any other fmeans, and also

Spirit Confesses Crime
Committed IS Years Ago,
Milwaukee, May 22.—Spirit-
ualists occupying the house at
1311 Walnut Street, where they
say a spirit tolC that a murder
had ._t~1
years ago, today exhibited a
bone whichtthey declare is part
of a woman's knee f joint. They
say they found it in the cellar
of the house.
. Ernest- Marth, • who now oc-
cupies the home, 1 says he will
not move.
"The spirits are our friends,"
he said. "Besides, the conditions
have vapished. The fetter® of
Tiquors in all public conveyances
and in automobiles would be
prohibited under the act, which
provides that in cases where
persons are injured or killed by
drunken persons suits for dam
ages can be brought against
those Who either sold or gave
that person the liquor. Persons
who have stored quantities of
liquor in their own homes in
preparation for the long dry
spell would be safe from moles-
the earth-bounb spirit of the
murderer wer'e broken when the
spirit, after eighteen long years
of captivity, gained a relief by
the confession of the. crime done
by his fieshy hands.'* '
Marth insists that following
the orders of the spirit, he lift-
ed the*flooring in the basement
and found the quicklime and a
piece of bone.
' 'We moved into this house
seven years ago," he said. ' 'The
conditions were apparentz^ a
short time. My haiir was pulled
and breath struck me, my pil-
low wiggled under my head, and
my bed moved up and down. We
called a meeting of the society
to discuss it and decided that
there was an earth-bound spirit
seeking relief. Finally we, got
into Communication. The spirit
said it was that of a man and a
suicide. The man had taken his
life after murdering a youn?
girl and burying her body in the
basement. It told just where
the -body' was buried and led us
to dig up the rotten planking.

ers on the district and also to the

enthusiastic session, as th4ere is
much to be done along re-con-
struction lines since the dry
weather has ceased and many
people are back at tfaeir places
