Quail from Egypt.

A record consignment of 100000
live Egyptian quails, requiring spe-
cial conveyance, from Alexandria to
London by way of the Manchester
Ship Canal, left Alexandria on March
%, and reached Manchester last
Saturday, when they were transfer
red to a special express for Lon
don. Twenty drays were required
to convey them from Kings Cross
to their destination.
1t is most extraordinary that al
though on many occasions search
has been made, the breeding ground
Of the quails is absolutely unknown.
They are trapped by Arabs, who de-
liver them in half dozens In boxes
and baskets to the Egyptian Quail
Syndicate's collecting depots, stu
ated at all stations on the Egyptian
State Railways between Alexandria
and Assiout and Khartaum, and sent
to the warehouse in Alexandria to
await shipment This warehouse is
used exclusively for the purpose of
keeping the quails until a sufficient
number has been received, and is as
large as the Agricultural Hall.
The quails are placed in crates
six feet long with six tiers and ca
pable of holding 600 birds for ship
Went. AS the syndicate only re.
teives payment for birds which are
alive when delivered, very great
care and attention has to be paid to
them during transit.
Six Arabs are told off whose spe-
cial duty 1t is to feed and water the
birds twice every day, and during
the present journey 100 bags, each
weighing two hundred-weight of mil
let seed were consumed. One fine
days the crates are brought up to
sheltered position on deck for airing.

TRANSFER OF GOOD WILL"

The number OF for sale" advertise.
ments in the liquor journals at the
present time is noticeable and signifi-
cant. One headed Exceptional Op-
portunity" states that an "old, estab-
lished, active whisky house contem-
plates retiring from business January
1 next" The date is well chosen, for
it is a popular and fashionable time
for retiring from the liquor business.
The liquor dealers of Washington,
Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Arkansas
and Iowa are indulging in the same
kind Of contemplation as Exceptional
Opportunity" spurred on, to be sure,
by the action of their respective legis-
Iatures and the voters Of their states.
Exceptional Opportunity" however,
has the advantage of them, for he
offers for sale with the whisky estab-
lishment, its valuable good will" A
bargain in good will, to be sold at re-
duced rates, to the highest bidder,
but, mind you, not the good will of
the men who have been ruined by
the poison manufactured by this whis-
ky house; not the good will of the
wives and children of the men who
drank away their health and intellect
and character; not the good will Of the
taxpayers who have been burdened
with the care of the product Of the
whisky house. No, all the wealth Of
the world could not purchase the
good will of these unwilling parties
to the contract of sale by which this
transfer of property shall be made-a
transfer that makes possible the con-
tinuation of a business in the train of
which follow unspeakable woe and
want for housands.-Union Signal.

CONSISTENCY.

The Great Northern railroad has an
nounced its intention of enforcing to-
tai abstinence among it's employees,
Even to take a glass of beer, If detect
ed, means dismissal. Because of the
protest of the liquor interests against
the employees of the road taking any
part in local prohibition campaigns,
or in urging temperance measures, Su-
perintendent McKennon has issued a
bulletin stating this fact and forbid
ding the men to take any part in such
movements. The employees are for
hidden to drink, yet they are not per-
mitted to make any effort to have the
temptation to drink removed from
their home towns.

LISTEN, WAGE.EARNERs.

Students of statistics tell us that
the number of wage-earners employed
in the liquor industry is 62,920; in the
bread and clothing industry, 492,655.
Wages paid in the liquor industry
are $45 $4,000; in the bread and
clothing industry, $24,196,O00.
Cost Of raw materials for intoxicat-
ing liquor is s1S9, 900; for bread
and clothing, $744,337,0 900.
The people of the United States
spend more than s2,O00,000,000 annu-
ally for liquor. 1t requires eight times
as many men to sell bread and cloth
ing as it does to sell the same money
value of beer and whisky.

STOP THE WASTE.

STOP THE WASTE.
by the fact that the federal govern
ment's income has been reduced this
year 100000. Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Peters says: 1.-The
revenues from whisky and alcoholic
beverages have shrunk considerably
over 100000 a year, and this I'M
questionably is due to the spread of
the temperance movement, and we are
preparing to see it continue to dimin-
ish from this cause"
The diminution to come will be be-
cause of nine states prohibiting liquor
in their borders, to take effect next
year. A new plan and system of taxa
ton will be arranged and there are
many sources Of revenue that can be
made instrumental for government re-
sources.
The history of prohibition shows
that it so lessons expenses that the
smaller revenue is amply sufficient.
Russia's minister Of finance testifies
that even in war times this is true,
and Englands great expert. Joseph
Chamberlain, says on this subject: IF
/ could tomorrow destroy the desire
for strong drink in the people of Eng
land and could prohibit it's use and
manufacture, what changes we should
see. We should see taxes reduced by
millions sterling. We should see our
jails and warehouses empty. We
should see more lives saved in twelve
months than are consumed in a Gen.
fury of bitter, savage warfare"
Yet men still ask what will happen
to the revenues of the country if
liquor is abolished. Experience, with
prohibition almost in it's infancy, al
ready shows that there will be no
shortage in revenue when the enor-
nous waste and drain of the liquor
traffic is once stopped.

PAYS NOTHING BACK.

This from Billy sunday:
"The saloon comes as near being q
rat hole for wage Garner to dump
his wages in as anything you can find.
The only interest 1t pays is red eyes
and foul breath and the loss of health
You go in with money and you come
out with empty pockets. You go in
with character and you come out ru-
ined. You go in with good position
and you lose 1t. You lose your posi-
ton In the bank, or in the cab of the
locomotive. And the saloon pays moth
ing back but disease and damnation
and gives an extra dividend in delir-
ium tremens and free pass to per-
dition. And then 1t will let your wife
be buried in the potter's field, and
your children go to the asylum, and
yet you walk out and say that the
saloon Is good institution, when II
is the dirtiest thing on earth. 1t
hasn't one leg to stand on and has
nothing to commend 1t to a decent
man, not one thing"

FEARS OF LIQUOR DEALERS.

Quite recently the New York State
Wholesale Liquor Dealers association
put their fears into concrete form IN
the declaration that the events Of
the last IL months have created a
situation more grave than has ever
before confronted our trade. For
merly We were called upon to oppose
town and county option. Today we
must combat state and nationwide
prohibition. Originally our opponents
were few and scattered. Today they
are many and united"

FROM MANY WITNESSES.

FROM MANY WITNESSES.
In summing up a complete refuta
ton Of the statements sent out by the
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers as.
sociation In an article on Facts About
Prohibition In Kansas" Governor Ar.
thur Capper says:
Let us call the witnesses and see
what they think of prohibition in
Kansas. If anyone should know. they
should know. for they live with It and
under 1t:
The governor of Kansas says pro-
hibition is a great success.
Every state official who has spoken
out says prohibition succeeds.
More than 700 editors and newspa-
per men of Kansas In state conven-
ton, unanimously endorsed prohibi-
ton.
Every political party In Kansas IA
vors the prohibition law.
No minister has ever opened his
mouth In favor Of return of license;
neither has any schoolteacher.
The president of Kansas Retailers
says prohibition pays.
association believes that prohibition
is tremendous asset to Kansas.
One hundred and sixty-six bankers
have filed their testimony in favor of
the law with the Temperance society
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
and only six could be found in all the
state who doubted the wisdom of this
legislation.
The president of the Kansas Medi-
cal society believes in prohibition.
The president of the Commercial
clubs Of Kansas has said that prohibit
ton has added real value to every
acre of Kansas land.
The supreme court has testified in
the following strong language to the
benefits of the prohibition law:
THE prohibitory law is we'll en-
forced throughout the state. 1t is as
generally well enforced as any other
criminal law. The enforcement of the
law distinctly promotes social welfare
and reduces to minimum economic
waste consequent upon the liquor traf-
flee and allied evils. The saloonkeeper
and his comrades have been excluded
from effective participation in the poll
tics of the state
And to completely settle the ques-
ton for all time the legislature of
Kansas, not by majority, but unan-
imously passed at its last session a
concurrent resolution affirming in no
uncertain language its belief in the ad-
vantage of prohibition.

FOR WHAT OTHER PURPosE7

1.-THE moving picture show has be-
come powerful factor in arousing the
prejudice of thoughtless and weak
minded people against the liquor in
terests, and particularly against the
saloon" says the Liberal Advocate, a
liquor dealers organ.
I'm virtually every blood and thun-
der and crime film produced there is
sure to be a scene depicting a bunch
of lowbrows plotting some villainy
from burglary to murder while lick
ing up liberal libations Of liquor to
give them the proper amount of cour-
age to accomplish their deed.
Each day thousands of these films
are portrayed to millions Of men,
women and children in every part of
the country, and those who know no
better, and many who ought to know
better, soon become imbued with the
belief that liquor is only manufactured
and saloons established for the pur-
pose of increasing lawlessness and
crime"

HAYWARD WINS FIGHT:
DEMPSEY IS INDICTED
b. r. T.. Official Held i'm 1000
Bail on Charges by Com
missioner.

Col. william Hayward OF the Public
Service Commission had his inning yes
terday In his fight against the Brooklyn
Rapid TRANSIT Company when John ].
Dempsey. superintendent Of transporta-
ton, appeared before County Judge
Lewis in Brooklyn to plead to an indict-
ment on the charges which were dis
missed on Friday last by Magistrate
Dodd.
COMMISSIONS Hay ward started his
night In August. when he charged Demp-
sey with a misdemeano in failing to
carry out the order issued by the COM
mission In May. 1912, for the stoppage
OF express trains at Third street.
There was a long drawn out ex-
animation before Magistrate Doid. who
finally dismissed the charge, mainly
on the technical ground that Dempsey
since becoming superintendent of trans
p%ortation had never received any per-
sonal notification OF the stop order.
Commissioner Hayward expressed
much dissatisfaction when he heard OF
the Magistrates decision and declared
his purpose to bring the matter imme-
diately before the Grand Jury and have
Dempsey indicted. Dempsey was much
taken back when he learned yesterday
morning that Commissioner Hayward
had made good his threat. Through his
lawyer, u. A. Marsh of the law depart
ment of the h. X. T. he entered a plea
of not guilty and was held for trial II
$40 0 bail.
Judge Lewis on the application OF Mr..
Marsh gave Dempsey a ten days leave
either to withdraw his plea OF not guilty
or file n demurrer.
District Attorney Cropsey started the
I W nj Jury innnfpN m TttnaInt anI
among the witnesses called were Public
Service Commissioners Mccall and Hay
ward and Travis H.. Whitney. the COM
missions secretary. Dempsey also APP
peared at his own request and after
waving immunity told his side Of the
case.
Col. Timothy $. Williams. president OF
the b. II. T. refused TO comment on the
new phase in the case.
