LIES DYING IN
HOSPITAL FROM
CUT WITH RAZOR
Jim Burns Stabbed by linden
titled Man Who Came Out
Of House at 1912
Webster Street.

Tim Burns, IS, is dying in Lister
hospital as a result of an argument
last night with a man and woman,
who are unidentified. Burns suffer
ed a nine inch slash across the pit
of the stomach, laying open his in
testines. His chances of recovery
are slight.
Burns and Jim Kacl, 20l5 North
Twerty- third street, were walking
west On Webster street near Nine
teenth shortly before midnight, ac-
cording to kacl, the only other wit
ness of the assault, when Burns left
Kael and entered house at 1872
Webster street, saying he would be
out again in a few minutes.
"He knocked OH the door and
was admitted by tall young man
and red-haired woman" Kacl said,
but he left the door open and
backed out again soon. The young
fellow followed him | heard the
young fellow say he'd get Burns.
They walked out to the sidewalk
and the woman followed. She stood
directly behind Burns. The young
fellow pulled razor from his pocket
and with a 1org swing brushed it
across Burns abdomen. Burns fell
down and ! called thf police. The
young fellow and the woman went
west on Webster street. Neither
had a hat nor an overcoat on"
Emma Switzer, who lives at 1872
Webster street, said she was not
home at the time and had no idea
who the couple in her house were.
The Switzer woman and Kacl were
both held at Central station for in
vestigation.
Searching for traces of the couple
who had left the Webster street
house, Detectives Toland, Cunning
ham, Warner, Potach and Lighthall
heard heated discussion going on
in the home of Ruth Morris at 809
North Twenty-third. The officers
surrounded the house and arrested
there Ruth Morris and Fred Blake,
a railroad brakeman, age %, whose
home is i'll Spencer, w. Va. In a
mackinaw which he was wearing
were found an ice pick, razor and
pocket knife with a two-inch blade,
which was opened.
Under examination at the police
station the woman admitted that
Burns and Blake had a fight, but
denied knowledge of the stabbing.
Harry Johnson. who lives at 800
North Twenty-third street, also was
held for investigation.

The choice of Mrs. Peterson is
recognition OF the work of women

the demand expressed by women's
organizations that they have a part
in the control of state institutions.

many requests from women's clubs

Law
LACKING | G
Intimation Given by Revenue
Commissioner That OPERA
ton of Act May Be
Postponed.

Washington, April 12.-Enforce-
ment OF wartime prohibition which
becomes effective July ! is not
lodged with the internal revenue
bureau or with any other govern
ment agency, but is merely left to
the United States attorneys, Rcve-
nue. Commissioner Daniel c. Roper
declared today after analysis Of all
statutes and regulations.
Intimation that because OF the ap-
parent difficulty of enforcement, the
president or congress might be
called ON to postpone the laws OPP
Grafton, was given by Mr.. Roper in
statement saying that "the issu-
ing of licenses for the manufacture
prohibited by the wartime prohibi-
ton act will naturally cease with
July |, assuming, of course, that
neither the president nor the con-
gress stays the operation of that
law"
In this connection it became
known today that a number of adj
ministration officials and advisers
Of the president had recently urged
him to prevent prohibition from go
ing into effect July |, by proclaim
ing the completion of demobiliza-
ton by that time. This group Is
said to include Commissioner Roper,
who is reported as believing pro-
hibition can not be enforced eff
fectively without specific legislation
creating an enforcement agency.
Condition Anomalous.
"An anomalous condition exists,
brought about by the failure of con-
gress to enact at the last session
the necessary legislation and pro-
vide the necessary money for the
enforcement of wartime prohibi-#
ton" Mr.. Roper's statement says:
Existing revenue laws with re-
gard to the control of illicit manu-
facture and sale will, of course. re-
main in force until repealed by con-
gress. Their enforcement will con-
tinue to be given the vigorous at
tention of internal revenue officers
until repealed"
The commissioner expressed the
view that the only authority given
the internal revenue bureau by the
wartime prohibition act related TO
regulating the manufacturing and
sale Of distilled spirits for other than
beverage uses and the distribution
of wine for sacramental, medicinal,
or other than beverage purposes.
This statement OF Commissioner
Roper threw new element of I'M
certainty into the status of prohi-
bition between July and January
10, when the prohibition constitu-
tional amendment becomes effective.
Some officials said this uncertainty
might be partially removed by en-
forcement legislation if a special
session of congress is called soon,
although revenue bureau officials
doubt whether all adequate force of
agents could be whipped into shape
between the passage Of such legisla-
ton, even if it were speeded through
congress by July /
No Force Available.
1t now develops that the revenue
bureau will be unable to assign all of
its 5000 revenue agents to liquor
work, owing to the necessity Of en-
ploying most Of these men on tax
collection business. Reports that
5000 agents would be assigned 10

the machine only while it was in
