tion by finger prints, just reported to the

to take the finger print records OF all sol
diers, attempted TO secure an impression

atively short time Scotland Yard reported

building or that monopoly. claiming that
A. robbed the people OF Rhode Island OF
over $500 900 a year; and he asked his au-
ditors TO help the Blackstone valley TO

WILL TEACH
FARMERS HOW To
MAKE ALCOHOL

Washington, Nov 1.-The department OF
agriculture through DR.. III. w Wiley
chief OF the bureau of chemistry has un-
dertaken 10 educate the farmers regard
ing the manufacture OF denatured alcohol
Two bulletins were Issued today devoted
TO the description OF the sources from
which industrial or denatured alcohol
may be obtained, the method OF manu-
be put as we'll as statistics showing the
possibilities in the development OF the in
dustry.
From DR.. Wiley's discussion on the sub
tect the conclusion is reached that thu
manufacture OF alcohol on a small scale
Is not likely 10 prove profitable.
Because OF the regulations under which
the farmer would be required 10 conduct
his still IL he engaged I'm the manufacture,
II Is evident that he must be content with
producing the raw materials and that he
cannot look forward 10 becoming a prac-
tical distiller. The bulletin on the subject
OF sources and manufacture says: The
principal uses OF industrial alcohol are IL
Elimination, heating, motive power and
the manufacture OF lacquers. varnishes,
smokeless powder. medicinal and phar-
maceutical preparations. vinegar and
ether
When industrial alcohol is made at
price at which II can compete with petro-
leum and gasolene, II doubtless will bt

toned because OF its greater safety and
more pleasant odor. Under the present
conditions It is not probable that indus
trial alcohol can be offered upon the mar
ket at much less than forty cents a gall
Ion of 30 percent strength.
DR.. Wiley expresses the belief. however.
that by paying attention TO unused
sources OF raw material and with i'm
proved methods of manufacturing and
denaturng this pricce can be diminished.

that the heavy contributors 10 the local
rings campaign fund are the franchise
corporations.
Commenting upon the appeal 10 support
the state machine ticket on the grounds
of party regularity and the necessity OF
supporting President Roosevelt, the Pub
tic Ledger had this 10 say the morning
after the meeting AZ which Attorney
General Moody spoke:
"As 10 standing by President Roose-
Welt the only significant hostility he has
ever had TO encounter Ia Pennsylvania
came from the Republican organization
itself. al represented by Senator Penrose
and those allied with him. To call upon
Republicans 60 support the machine IN
the name OF Roosevelt is an absurdity.
II Is no true service TO the president 10
Identify him with the power against
which the real Roosevelt Republicans OF
Pennsylvania are now In open revolt
The conditions I'm Rhode Island are sim
liar 70 those I'm Pennsylvania; and many
people will be surprised that the main
support OF the United States government
IN It's contest with law-breakers should
appear in the two states where the Re
publican party has been debauched as
chief counsel for the defence.
Attorney General Moody certainly can
not defend the sale OF legislation at
state capital: and as an old-time Repub-
lican, he cannot argue in support OF the
,orrupt Rhode Island oligarchy.
