Congress May Take Away Incorpora-
ton Papers From Organization.
Washington.-There is pending in
the United States Senate bill in
troduced by Senator King of Utah, to
dissolve the German-American AL
lance. Action on the measure is eX-
pected soon. Years ago Congress
granted this organization articles of
incorporation.
At that time Congress was not
aware that it was the purpose of the
German American Alliance to work
politics for the brewers, neither did
it understand that the Alliance was
to be the connecting link between the
brewers of this country and the Ger
man government.
But few years ago, the Kaiser, in
a speech at Potsdam, asserted that he
could control the politics Of America
through the German-American Al
liance, which also works politics for
the brewers.
Now this country is at war with
Germany and with the loyalty of this
brewery organization questioned, Con-
gress purposes to dissolve incorpora-
tion.

Mondays.
Youngstown, Ohio.-The Telegram
has made study Of the police records
Of this city covering the four beatless
Mondays when saloons were closed.
For the purpose of comparison, the
Telegram has divided each of the four
periods into two periods of 48 hours
each. The first period extends from
Friday noon to Sunday noon Of each
week when the saloons were open,
and the second period extends from
Sunday noon to Tuesday noon, when
the saloons were closed. The records
at the police station show that in the
four open saloon periods. the total
arrests was 449, an average of Sc for
each "a hours. In the four closed
saloon periods, the total of arrests
was 72, an average Of 9 each "a hours.
The total Of arrests for drunken
ness or offenses due to liquor in the
four open saloon periods was 276, an
average of 35 each "a hours. The
total of arrests for the four saIoonless
periods was 25, an average of three
each "a hours.
This should answer definitely the
charge that Prohibition does not pro-
hibit.
