A call has been issued for a meet
ing some time in August of independ-
ent Kentucky distillers to consider
plans for limiting production. Distil-
lers outside the trust fear that the
market will be flooded with whisky
next year. Next year will be cam
paign year, too. A food of whisky
and a food of politics would make a
right lively combination. We would
see out the old century in a blaze OF
glory.

If the administration had given to the

Two Sunday RObberies Reported to
the Police This Morning.
Two robberies were reported to the po-
lice this morning. both of which occurred
at the junction of the Chevy Chase Rail-
way with Rock Creek, where the passen-
gers are transferred from the cars to
'busses for Chevy Chase Circle. E. S.
Beckley, of 1881 Eighteenth Street north
west reported that his pocket had been
picked of a purse containing SIS in cash
and a number of papers, and G. B. Towles,
of 1907 Clifton Place. was relieved OF $12
in cash and pocketbook.
The large crowds which assembled at
this point yesterday afternoon and evening
gave the pickpockets an excellent oppor-
tunity to work. and they took advantage OF
it. The crowds which are expected to at
tend the Peace Jubilee in this city May
1926 will, the police believe, attract to the
city large number Of light-fngered gen.
try who will operate extensively. The de-
tectives are already on the lookout for
this class Of thieves and they will be ar
rested as fast as they are seen and escort
ed out of town. Whenever a large crowd
assemblies in this city there is always an
influx of petty thieves.
Major Sylvester has received letter
from the Peace Jubilee authorities stating
that s., 600 has been set aside by the COM
mittee for the employment Of extra de-
tectives to be placed under the direction
of the Chief Of Police for duty in this city
during the Jubilee. Major Sylvester will
employ the detectives as soon as he is no.
tilted that the money has been placed to
his credit. He stated this morning that he
wanted the fact widely known that every
out of town crook that comes to WASH
ington will be arrested and sent out of
town.
