GENERAL BOOTH
STATEMENT ON PROHIBITION. A CORRECTION. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 13. Apropos of the statement credited to General Booth recently cabled from Australia in respect to prohibition, Commissioner Hodder has received a cable from the General’s secretary correcting the reported opinion as follows: “Asked if prohibition was shortly probable in the United Kingdom, the General expressed doubt as to the possibility of enforcing so great a change on one section of the population unless it was carried by such an overwhelming majority as seems improbable at present.”
