WOOD ALCOHOL TRAFFIC
TO BE FOUGHT BY U. S.

A concerted drive by several Gov
ernment agencies to prohibit the sale
of wood alcohol as bootleg liquor is
under way today as the result of
scores of deaths throughout the coun-
try from drinking the poisonous bev-
erage.
Prohibition of the wood alcoholic
drink has suddenly become of even
greater Importance than clamping
down the lid on legitimate liquor.
The Governments efforts for the
immediate future will be publicity
and educational campaigns to warn
of the dangers OF drinking any boot
leg liquor.
A similar campaign will be conduct
ed by the Public Health Service, il
was stated at Surgeon General Blue 5
office today.
Meanwhile the Department of Jus
tice and the Department of AgricuI-
ture are investigating the bootleg
sales, with a view to prosecution
Present laws may be inadequate, AS
sistant Attorney General Frierson, in
charge Of prohibition enforcement
and Solicitor Williams of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture stated. If that is
the case. Congress will be asked Ia
pass additional legislation imme-
diatcly upon its reconveninG Jan.
uary :.
Another plan suggested for prevent
ing wood alcohol sales is to apply the
same system now being used effect
lively against narcotics. This is t.
license the wholesale and retail,
dealers and allow the sale of the prod
uct only for legitimate purposes.

FIND AGED RECLUSE
FROZEN TO DEATH
Think Eccentric Woman Met
Fate of Sister Who Was
Killed by Dogs.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 2s.-Meeting a
death almost as tragic as that of her
sister, Miss Eliza Jane Mcbride. who
was believed to have been torn to
pieces by her dogs two years ago.
Miss Harriet Mcbride, of Monkton.
was found frozen to death in the
snow short distance from her home
Wednesday afternoon. She had been
missing from her home since Tues
day.
The death of the last of the Nc
Bride sisters marks the passing of
two OF the most unique characters in
Baltimore county. They had lived
such secluded Lives. off in a little.
dilapidated house. with only their
pack of dogs, that were responsible
for the death of Miss Eliza Jane Nc
Bride in October. 1917, that they

Some negroes would not venture
within mile OF the house.
Miss Harriet McBride's body was
discovered in the snow some distance
from the house by Ellsworth Smith
a negro, who for years had taken
food to their home and had worked
for the sisters. A coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict that the woman had
died from freezing TO death
The other sister met perhaps a
more horrible death. She was found
dead in the loft of small shack near
her home, horribly mutilated Her
throat was torn, and there were Sc
we're flesh wounds that rats cosld
never have inflicted, in accordance
with Miss Harriet McBride's conten-
tion. Suspicious was at once directed
Ia -
of the time and so vicious that no one
except Smith dared go near the place.
Smith, the negro who befriended
the two recluses. declared that the
dogs were responsible for the woman's
death; th.. she had underfed them,
and that they were so famished that
they had become like beasts OF prey.
The two women had been eccentric
for many years.
1t is said that Miss Harriet Mcbride
left about $4,000.
