land, S. Benson, millionaire timber
man is today fairly launched on his
project to wipe out, by constitutional
amendment, every distillery in the
United States.
Although he is total abstainer
himself, Mr.. Benson does not propose
to place this constitutional amend
ment restriction upon the manufac,
ture of beer or wines, because of the
honest difference of opinion prevail,
ing among medical experts as to the
harmful nature of these beverages.
But declaring whiskey and kindred
spirituous fluid poisons. he would
stamp them out "as one would stamp
out poisonous serpent in the lane"
For the preliminary work of wiping
out whiskey, Mr.. Benson has made an
appropriation of $4,000 which he will
draw on as heavily as is necessary.

today, "and | believe it my duty to

Benson believes the plan he has
tentatively mapped out will not prove
too great financial catastrophe upon
the men engaged In the business. He
proposes to allow them five years to
go out OF business after the amend
ment becomes law.

Two Ways to Classify Ready Money
Says Julia Murdock of Play at Belasco

TT takes almost human intelligence to
decide whether Ready Money,
i which opened at the Belasco last
night, with Hans Robert and Joseph
kilgour IN the leading parts, is one OF
the most amusing comedies that ever
came to town-or one of the thrilIingest
melodramas. And. having reached
decision. ones mind misgives one as to
whether, after all. it Is not a decidedly
clever satire. and author and players
are not having a whole lot of fun with
their audience. Classify it any way You
like. and the fact remains that 1t is a
rattling good evenings entertainment. =
1t tells the story of Stephen Bard,
owner of the Skyrocket mine. who has
reached the end of his string, without
having been able to make his mine pan
out. He Is about to lose II to James
r. Morgan-not J. p, you understand.
To him comes jackson Ives, with an
offer of help which brings forth protes-
tations of undying gratitude.
Ives declares himself to be the clever
est counterfeiter alive, and persuades
young Baird not to pass any Of his
queer money; oh no. merely to keep 1t
In his pocket, and let people see that he
has 1t. Just to keep IT until the next
day and divide with, him the net pro-
ceeds of merely showing it.
Baird. Interrupted as he tries to re-
fuse. acquieses, largely out of curiosity
and without in the least realizing what
he Is letting himself In for. All the rest
follows entirely logically, and is by
turns screamingly funny, and thrillinsly
melodramatic. Baird's friends, seeing
him with a roll Of 81 600 bills. are sure
that he has struck it rich- and come
tumbling over each other to buy stock
in his poor little mine. -
Secret service men who have been
trailing Ives, arrest Eaird along with
him as his pal. But they can't prove
anything. and are obliged to release
them both. Finally. when they do get
the counterfeit roll. Ives proves his
assertion that he is the cleverest coun-
terfeiter alive. and bluffs the officers
into deciding that the bills are good.
When his dazed, unwilling .'paP'
stammers at him. ILLS it good?" Ives
replies magnificently, ''Of course il is
it's the best money l ever made" In
The meanwhile the Skyrocket has made
They strike the richest vein that ever
happened. and everybody gets his sweet
heart. and they all live happy ever
after, with presumably Ready Money"
to burn.
And all this is carried along with the
