Boy Of Ia Tires of School
With First Warm DAYS

Filled with restless spirit by the
warm, spring weather of the past
several days, George e. Miller, four
teen-year-o son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Claude Miller, III North River
street, wandered away from his
home on Tuesday morning instead
of going to school. Late yesterday
information was received by his par
ents that he had been located at
Ambridge, Beaver county.
The youth left his home on Tues
day morning to go to the Chestnut
street school. Instead of going there
he handed his books to another lad
with a note, addressed to his moth
err, telling that he would not be
back for few days, or possibly
year, and asking that she should not
worry about him.
How he got to Ambridge, which
is eighteen miles west of Pittsburgh,
his mother was unable to say to-
day She was not aware of him
having sufficient money TO go there
and none is missing about the house.
1t is expected that his father, who
has gone to Ambridge, will return
with him this evening. ~.

PLAN EVOLVED FOR
STATES DRY RULE
Commissioner and Eight Deputies Enforce Prohibition
Laws TO Grant Licenses and Test Beverages;
Silent o Alcoholic Content

Enforcement of prohibition in
Pennsylvania would be placed
in the hands of a prohibition
commissioner with eight depu-
ties, each in charge of a district,
under the plan embodied in a
draft of bill submitted TO Governor
William c. Sproul by Representative
John W. Vickerman, of Allegheny
county. Mr.. Vickerman is the floor
leader for the "drys" in the
lower House of the Legislature
and the enforcing authority he
would provide differs materially from
that sought to be established in the Fox
bill presented by a Philadelphia MEM
Der as the plant of the Anti-Saloon
League. 1t is understood at the. Cap
itol that present ideas are to amend the
Fox bill so that it shall be the basic
enforcement act, while the Vickerman
bill will provide the means to carry out
the dry" law
Where the Nickerman bill differs from
the Fox bill especially is in the licensing
authority. The Anti-Saloon League bill
makes the Attorney General the officer
to issue the permits to druggists and
others who would be authorized to sell
liquor under regulations. This has not
met with the approval of either the
Governor or the Attorney General and
they are said to be inclined to the plan
of the Fickerman bill, which is to be
submitted to the House on Monday
night
Up TO Congress
The Nickerman bill will make no pro-
visions regarding alcoholic content
and this is in line with the Governors s
statement of yesterday afternoon that
he thought definition of what are in
toXicating liquors should be left to Con-
gress. Under the proposed bill enforce
ment would be placed in sole charge OF
the prohibition commissioner, to be an
pointed by the Governor by the first of
next year. and to receive a salary of
! $1,000 year. The commissioner, with
| approval of the Governor, would name
eight deputies at $4,000 a year and give
| each district. Each district would
have an official center, much as the COM
pensation referee districts are organized
The headquarters would be at the Cap
itol. Provision for offices and clerical
help will be made.
Briefly stated. the commissioner and
his deputies would be charged with SUI
perVision over the enforcement of the
dry" law much as are revenue officers
having supervision over manufacture
sale and distribution with authority to
grant licenses under terms of the Fox
bill. which will be made to accord with
the Vickerman bill in the law and order
committee of the House in the next ten
days. If a deputy refuses to issue a
permit the applicant may appeal to the
commissioner. The finding of the COM
missioner as in appeals from action of
deputies revoking licenses for violations
would be final. Extensive powers are
given to the commissioner and deputies
to make investigations and compel at
tendance of witnesses and production OF
books and papers. while provision is

The plan is to make the fees high
