ALLEGED ALIENS
APPEAR IN COURT

Two alleged alien enemies appeared
in the city court Yesterday. both
under charges of violating sections
of the municipal code. Carl Hansen
was charged with disorderly conduct,
it having been 1hown that he was in
the home of a white woman on Fort
street when an officers attention
was attracted by dancing and sing
ing, verging on the point of disorder.
1t appeared, however, that three fish
ernaen with Hansen were in the place
having good time. and Hansen was
discharged from custody. Corporal
Cranston, of the United States
army, was on hand, however, and
promptly took Hansen in custody. the
latter having violated the alien enemy
promise to keep out of the barred
zone.
The other unnaturalized German
was Peter Aurl, employed as a fire
man at the San Carlos hotel, who
had trouble with the night house
officer the night before when Aurl
turned on steam and gas to capacity
despite the orders of the manage
ment and the house detective, Mr.
Peteroff, who w1s acting with author
ity of the mana agement Trouble
started. Aurl having been drinking,
resulting IN the German striking the
officer. The blows were repelled by
Jack O'Leary, who was conveniently
rearby. and Aurl was arrested and
charged with assaulting. In the city
court he was fined So and costs upon
plea OF guilty. and being unable to
pay, was locked up for the day.
Later in the day it was announced
that Aurl would be held for the
United States authorities, who will
probably take him in charge and
keep him under surveillance until he
can be removed or interned
A third alien was white man
named Ben Sturk, who was arrested
by Officer Johnson and charged with
drunk and fighting. He was turned
over to the United States authorities
and was allowed to return to his
work, at Gull Point, where it is stated
he had a Job.

the result of a special canvass of dry
states started several months ago by
direction of Commissioner Roper. An
experienced revenue agent was sent
to confer with the governors of dry

states. The governors were told that
the force of federal inspectors is in
adequate to ferret out the thousands
of hidden stills and obtain evidence
on which to base prosecutions.
The task was made particularly diff
ficult because the scheme of giving
bonuses to informers on illicit distil-
1ers has been abandoned, The gov
ernment has ceaAed to have a s,cve-

The open refusal or ill-concealed re-
luctance of many county sheriffs and
other local officials TO assist govern

After weeks of vacillation, the Ger

Washington, Jan. 24.-Discovery that
the manufacture of moonshine whis-
key is increasing rapidly in bone dry
states and that quantities have been
sold illicitly to soldiers in Southern

precautions by military and civil au-
thorities are Camps Wadsworth, at

CLAIM NEGRO MADE
OFF HALF TON COAL

Ben Davis. colored, was arrested
Yesterday and placed in the county
Jail on charge of petty embezzle-
ment. He is alleged to have made
off with half a ton of coal which he
was authorized to move from one
point to another. The coal, it seems,
was on the premises of one family
who offered to divide with another
because the second one could get
none from the supply yards. He was
said to have been authorized to move
half a ton, but ton disappeared
from the supply, and was said later
to have been found in. the possession
Of Davis.
