TRY To ROOT OUT
THE BLIND TIGERS
Vigorous Investigation Being
Conducted by Officials of
Powhatan.

POwHATAN c. H.. VA, August / /.
The officials OF Powhatan county
are conducting a vigorous, thorough
and searching investigation of viola
tions OF the liquor law. For several
years the officials have been trying to
apprehend a number OF colored peo-
pie who, 1t was believed. were en-
gagged In selling liquor without liz
cense. The climax was reached when
yesterday Commemorative Attorney
Milton p. Bonifant instituted before
Squire J. T. Crump an inquiry az to
whether or not ardent spirits had
been sotd BY persons IN the county
without license. A number OF per-
sons were summoned before Squire
Crump to testify as to their knowledge
concerning any such violations OF the
law. and as q result of the searching
inquiry and investigation made by
Squire Crump and the Common
wealth's attorney. assisted by the able
efforts OF Captain J. Sampson Jen-
ninSs, deputy sheriff of said county.
two arrests have been made. and II
is believed that large number Of
arrests are to follow.
The officials are determined to leave
no stone unturned to break up every
blind tiger in the county. and from
evidence already obtained 1t seems
as II they will be very successful. Mr..
Bonifant said: II want this inyestiga-
ton TO be a warning and lesson to
violators OF the law for all time"

DOES WHAT WILSON
WAS AFRAID To DO
Katzenbach Gives Views on Five
Important Issues Which Were
Side-Steppped.

TRENTON. N. J.. August 1i.--Frank
g. Katzenbach, Jr., has given his views
on the five important Issues which
were submitted to DIR. Woodrow Will
son. and which the latter declined to
discuss, declaring that to do 20 would
put him I'm the position of a candidate
for the Democratic gubernatorial nom
nation:
First, ! favor a public utility COM
mission, with ate-making powers. be-
lieving that by such a commission the
public can be best protected from un-
reasonable increases In rates. At the
same time. such commission would
also be protection to the public utili-
ty corporations from the possibility of
Incorporate legislation prompted by
their failure to establish and maintain
reasonable rates.
Second favor the extension Of the
direct primary system to nominations
for governor and members of congress.
Enthusiastically favor an employ
ers' liability law which will give to
employees, or their personal represen-
tatives. compromising damages fer in
jures Of death resulting from the neg
ligence without the fault of the en-
ploye) Of the employers or those act
ing in authority for them.
Fourth favor constitutional
amendment which win provide for
election Of United States senators by
direct vote of the people, and, until
such change is made, the system which
affords an opportunity for the expres-
sion by the voters Of their choice for
United States senator and the election
of the choice thus expressed by the
members of the legislature.
Fifth. | favor stringent legislation
to prevent the making Of campaign
contributions, whether voluntary or In.
voluntary, by officehoiders, including
judges. and the acceptance thereof by
party managers"
