 Keep Officers at Bay

Montgomery. October 2s.-(Speciai) Russell county bootleggers have profted by the war. They have discovered. as the allies have that gases are a great aid to them in their work. Sheriff R. D. Lind sey and deputy centered their activities on certain house at Girard which they believed to be the home of bootlegger.
 Sheriff Lindsey went to the back of the house to catch the bootleggers as they left when the deputy entered the front. He stood several minutes. but no one came. Returning to the front, he found the deputy, who had not entered. why didn't you go in?" he asked. Fl couldn't, was the reply. Sheriff Linrsey didn't understand. but the deputy did. ''Go in yourself said the deputy. Open went the door, in went the sheriff, but out again he came making double quick time, which would have done credit to Hun who entered the fray in 1914.
 The trouble-the bootleggers profiting bys the war, had broken a can of ann monia inside the door. Any person who attemptedsto enter would be almost over come.
 Perry w. Turner, assistant attorney general. informed Sheriff Lindsey yester- day that gas masks were the latest out for use in fighting poison gases. The bootleggers have secret exits. They break the ammonia and then have time to remove their small stocks before any one can enter

 The opening was attended by General Rafferty and some of hls staff officers and a number of ladies graced the big event with their presence. Of course, all the artillerymen were there, for 1t was their building, designed and built by themselves, and the entertainment
 was their entertainment.
 Yesterday morning the building did
 not have a roof on 1t. but the roof was
 on last night, the stage was completed and banked with evergreeus and screen was m place for the protection of two five-reel movie shows The sur prise of the evenlng was a splendid SCI cen picture of General Rafferty, which brought round after round of ap- | piaLSe.
 The two plays shown on the screen were such as made a long appeal to
 the soldiers. One of them was Mir. Ed-
 ward Hale's The Man Without Coun- | try" and the other Was "Comlng l Through. Martin of Battery Is, who
 pul.ed off Hula Hula dance to the ac-
 conlpdnlment of ukuieIe nusic, made a great hit, and the musicians came in for
 Dag snare of the applause.
 l The men say the opening was a great
 success because the Dynamite D men oi
 the District of CoiufnDia and some 15aIri- more huStlers were beh.nd it, Capt. L. l.. | krentzlln, Lieut. H. L. Rays and Sergt lJ. l.. Henderson worked indefati ga1l , yesterday to put 1t oyer," and that
 they did their work well IS beyond ques- | tion.

 mite outfit designed the building. in tcivil life he was an architect-Henry Hoce and Is well known in Washing i ton Saddler Richard l.. Sm th who also
 dimes on dynamite, being contractor in
 civil life, had general supervision of the
 construction work of the big buildings
 which, by the way, is 80 feet wide and
 132 feet long, and Corporal H. w. Down.
 ing. Battery C formerly a 'Dynam ter') 1 also had an envlable share in the big job. It was a big job and it was all done with soldier labor and if the men are
 proud of it they deserve to be. l The men of the One Hundred and l Twelfth today said farewell to Lieut. Beverly Ober of Baltimore, who left fol | | field fortificat ons for awhile. 1 In mentioning this regiment the mer
 never fail to say something about Lieut. 1 Edwin Warfield, Jr., son of the former
 governor and handsomest man of Mary 1 land His messmates say that in the
 matter of beauty the governor had noth- ] ing on his son, but there are so many handsome men in the regiment that gooc 1 looks are at scount. However, Ed 1 Warfield is one of the most popular mer 1 in the outfit.
