INDIAN NAME FOR WHISKY
Called "Fire Water" Because of Their
Method Of Discovering if It
Was Diluted

When the Hudon's Bay Trading
company began it's trading among the
Indians it was found that by selling
the Indians liquor they could more
easily be induced to trade their pei
tries
The first whisky or intoxicant of in
feriog quality was distilled in England
and brought to America in large bar
rels but in transporting it overland
it was found more convenient to
divide it into small kegs
The traders soon became aware Of
the fact that by diluting the whisky
with water mere furs could be OBJ
tanned. This was practiced for some
time but the Indians learned that
good whisky poured cn a fire would
cause it to flame up. whereas had the
whisky been diluted the fire would be
quenched. it was by this simple ex-
pertinent that the term fire water be-
came a common word among Indians
A chief who had experienced the
bad effects OF whisky among his peo-
pie said it was most certaialy distilled
from the hearts Of wildcats and the
tongues of women from the effects
it produced From Eonforts Spirit
and Wine Circular.

DEAD LETTER SALE
DRAWS BIG CROWD
Prospective Buyers Enabled to
Obtain Momentary Glance at
Contents of Packages.

Uncle Sans annual auction, the dead
letter sale, postponed from December
IS. and technically stripped of its lot
terry features is in full blast today at
the Sloan auction rooms in G street.
The sale was started a few minutes
after 10 o'clock this morning before a
pocked house. Men and women OF all
ages, and even children. many young
terry features, is in full blast today at
packed house. Men and women of all
dants crowded the big sales room.
Because of a stin fight made by Wash
ington's retail merchants on the ground
that the sale held annually during the
period of big Christmas buying took
trade from them and that IL was a
lottery in defiance of law, the sale
was suddenly called of a month ago,
when Attorney Wickersham held that
II was a lottery because the packages
were sold blind.
This feature of the sale was corrected,
technically, at least, as all packages.
instead of being sealed, were opened
10 inspection. Consequently, as each
package was put up in rapid-fire order
the envelope flap was turned back by
IN attendant and the contents raked
out for a moment, only to be jammed
ruthlessly back again.
Those who attended the sale seemed
TO have no interest in seeing what they
were buying.
Packages were sold too fast for in
spection of them. except at a distance
In the first two hours $50 packages were
sold at a rate of almost three a minute.

EUROPEAN POLICE
SEEK THIEVES WHO
TOOK SHIPS GOLD
Gang Said to Have Obtained
S1,115,000 in Eight Rob-
berries Since August.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20-Members of a
stolen sl,115,00O in gold bars are being
sought in New York today by European
detectives.
On information that the thieves had
designs on shipments of gold. from this
port, detectives have fiocked here with
in the last few days.
Shipments of the s7.0OOOOO move
ment of gold from this country 10
France have been closely watched.
When the French liner La Savoie sailed
two weeks ago with $2,00O,O00 aboard
from Lazard Freres several of the de-
tectives were at the pier and three
sailed on the liner.
Others are said to have been on La
Provence which left here Thursday.
Further shipments in the next two
weeks from New York to France and
also to South America will be guarded
by detectives
The thieves biggest hauls have been
made on eight robberies committed in
various parts of the world since last
August. The plunder is believed to be
the biggest of any robberies by one
gang in the last quarter century, insas-
much as robberies generally net the
perpetrator only a small proportion of
the value of the goods stolen. With
theft of gold bars. however, clever
thieves are certain of 100 per cent of the
value.
1t is from London chiefly that the
worldwide search for the thieves is
being made although detective agencies
in Hamburg. Berlin, and Paris are en-
gagged actively in the hunt
AS many as 800 operatives, greater
number probably than has been en-
gagged in years in hunting down one
gang, are seeking the thieves and have
been on the same job for few months,
Despite this fact. not a single ar
rest has been made, and in many
ways the crimes are as battling as
when first reported. In all the thefts
practically one line of operations is
revealed. The bars have been taken
from their cases during shipment and
the thefts have not been discovered
until the cases reached the destination
marked for them.
Then when opened, lead bars were
found replacing the gold. Further ex-
animation in each case has revealed
that the seals on the cases had been
broken, and then cleverlv replaced so
that the damage escaped observing
eyes.
Eight robberies. in each of which the
loot was at least $4,000, have been re-
ported since october alone In two of
these instances the figures were each
time given as more than 100000, the
shipments being between London and
Egypt.

ADVOCATES BELIEVE
HOUSE WILL FAVOR
REDL|GHT MEASURE
Despite Opposition of Commits
sion, Kenyon Bill Will Be-
come Law, Say Supporters.

Despite an unfavorable report by the
Board of Commissioners and the opposi-
ton of certain clements, advocates of
the Kenyon Red light" bill. which
passed the Senate Friday: declare the
bill will become law if vote is taken
in the House of Representatives.
Congressman S. f. Prouty of Iowa has
taken charge of the fight in the House,
and will use every influence to have the
bill reported out of the committee.
Those who are supporting the measure
say that if this is done there is no ques-
ton of the result.
Tremendous interest has been aroused
by the bill, by the terms of which a dis
reputable house Is declared to be a
nuisance, and whoever shall erect. es-
tablish, continue, maintain, use, own,
occupy or release any such house is
guilty of maintaining nuisance"
Amy Citizen May Act.
To abate the nuisance the bill author
ICES any citizen of the District of CO.
lumbia, in addition to the Attorney Cen
eral of the United States, or the United
States Attorney for the District, to ask
the District Supreme Court for a per-
manent writ of Injunction against the
place.
Temporary. writs may be granted by
the courts. The reason given by the
Commissioners for recommending ad-
verse action on the bill is that they
;'do not believe the method proposed
would eradicate the evil, but fear it
would result in its distribution to
points which are now free from 1t. and
correspondingly extend the area of its
temptations like a proposition to prev
vent the pollution of a river by closing
up the mouths of the sewers
The board states its objections as fol-
lows:
zone of the perplexities associated
with the subject is what to do with the
inhabitants of these houses when they
shall have been evicted. By exercise
of police surveillance, a gradual and
substantial elimination of the number
of such places has been effected.
Conditions Are Better.
THE conditions here are constantly
improving. as shown by statistics
gathered by the Commissioners, state
ments made by prominent clergymen OF
various denominations, and favorable
Communications by the inspectors of the
United States Government.
"One of the inspectors of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, who
made an investigation, reported:
- can say that ashington is, broadly
speaking, clean as other centers of
population
THE Commissioners appreciate their
responsibilities. and would go to any
length to reduce the evil. They are not
prepared to submit any solution of the
problem"
Following an investigation of local
conditions, the committee on public or
der of the Board of Trade, has adopted
resolutions advocating segregation of
disreputable houses in a restricted area.
which will be submitted to a special
meeting of the board of directors this
afternoon at Ais o'clock, and presented
for the consideration of the full body
at its meeting at the Willard Hotel to-
morrow night.

Attorney Leahy said if it could be
proven that there had been corruption
of any kind in the making OF the Uncle
Sam leases he would promise to join in
the prosecution of the guilty persons.
He said. however. that he was satisfied
the Uncle Sam leases, although rejected
by the department, were for the best in

the council had been open and above
board and not subject to the criticism
contained in the answer of the depart
ment to charges made by the Indians
themselves and the Independent oil COM
pany against the Interior Department
officials.
Commissioner Abbott claimed during
the interchange of views today that
the Indians would lose about $4,000 an
nually under the Uncle Sam lease, on
the theory that the Uncle Sam people
offered royalties of one-eighth, whereas
the Indians might receive one-sixth. =
Mr.. Leahy suggested that the COM

pressed the belief the committee would
find there had been no corruption
of any kind. and that the Uncle Sam
leases were advantageous to the In
