JoY-RIDING PRISONERS MUST

as a patrol. while the charges were so
slight that three-fourths of the prison

reached such a stage that the approach

That the liquor interests of this State
have contributed slOOO,OOO to the Penrose

letter to Senator Kern, chairman of the
Senate Privileges and Elections Commit

1t is further alleged that these interests
have urged the proposed investigation of
their books because their contributions to
the Penrose fund have been made quietly
from saloonkeepers distillers and brew
ers, and have been forwarded to the fund
without being registered. The anti
liquor forces estimate that an assessment
of $25 has been made on each saloon
keeper by the Federation of Liquor Deal
