Doubt About Restraining Steps.

Mr.. Kelly was not prepared to say
TODAY whether the reduction company
intends to taka steps to restrain the
Commissioners from continuing to use
the pant on Mount Oiivet road for the
remainder of the Whitehead contract,
which has about eighteen months TO
run.
The Commissioners contend that the
same act of Congress which author
ixed them to take over the ash SerV-
ice gives them the right to take over
the trash plant. Mr.. Hacker stated
further that the contract with the
Whitehead firm provides that the
Commissioners shall take over the
work upon failure of the contractor
TO carry it on.
Mr.. Hacker explained that while the
District operates the plant. it will give
credit for receipts from the sale OF
salvaged trash and also will charge
the company with the expenses OF
carrying on the service.

CITY WILL OPERATE
PLANT FOR REFUSE
Contracting Firm Quit on Ac-
count of Increase in
Expenses.

The refuse disposal plant on Mount
Olivet road, the erection of which
aroused storm of protest from resi-
dents of the northeast, has been tax
en- over by the Commissioners and
will be operated for the present by
the city.
Operation of this plant. which COL
lects and disposes of the city's trash.
has been placed in the hands of Nor
ris Hacker. superintendent of the mu-
nicipal garbage and ash collection
service.
Mr.. Hacker said the Commissioners
ordered the taking over of the trash
business after j. J. Whitehead. Inc,
the contracting firm, had notified the
District officials that they could not
continue the work at the present con-
tract fee.
Although the Whitehead firm had
the contract to collect the trash. the
plant is owned by the Washington
Reduction Company. William +. Kelly,
representing both concerns. said today
that the reduction company Is per-
mitting the Commissioners to run the
plant. but has served notice on them
that they have no legal right and do
80 at their own risk.

ANOTHER SUSPECT
SEIZED HERE TODAY
Reported Armed and Bearing
Evidences of UItra.Radi-
cal Activities.

Another suspect was arrested in
Washington today in the roundup of
Department Of Justice officers OF reds.
The suspect is reported to have been
armed and to have been caught with
dana ging evidence of ultra-radical ac-
tivities.
When questioned regarding such an
arrest, Assistant Attorney General Fran
els p. Garven said he could neither af-
firm nor deny that an arrest had been
made. Il cannot discuss the matter
now" he declared. Il hope 1 can make
a statement about it late this after
noon."
The Department Of Justice Is losing
no time in the process of ridding the
country of dangerous and undesira-
service agents during raids made in a
score of cities Friday and Saturday
nights.
Work fastened.
District attorneys in all regions in
volved in the government activities
nave been instructed by Attorney Cen
eral Palmer to speed up proceedings
and to send on as soon as possible
to Ellis Island immigration station
those persons to be deported for anti
American, anarchistic preaching and
activities
The work of gathering in leading
lights of the Union of Russian Work
ers is not by any means complete, ac-
cording to admissions made at the De-
partment Of Justice today. A number
Of rfngleaders OF both sexes have not
been taken. chiefly because evidence
against them is not as complete. But
they are constantly watched and when
the trap is ready in each instance it
VIII be sprung.
A large corps of secret service men is
working directly under Chief William
J. Flynn, who has been given a free
hand in the business of cleaning up
the reds" by Attorney General Palmer.
Russian Union Doomed.
The Union of Russian Workers is
doomed so far as its life in the United
States is concerned. After watching
activities of the organization for a
long period and collecting it's violent
literature the Department of Justice
is following a plan to wipe out the
unIon-'to destroy without trace"
1t is considered by the Attorney GEN
erals office that much of the radical
labor trouble in America will be
abated for q long time with the Union
of Russian Workers extinct
A statement emanating from that
office this morning said the cleaning
out process must necessarily preceda
any sort of substantial "Americaniza-
tion" program to be pushed among
the foreigners, and American citizens
of foreign birth and rearing, by gov
ernment agencies.
Members of Congress who have
been making an agitation for extern
sion over period of years of the
wartime passport and immigration
restrictions declared this morning
their cause has been nightly
strengthened by the activities of the
Department of Justice in the last
three days and by the revelations that
have come out Of these activities.

Prohibition q Boon
 To "MOOnShinerS"

Washington, Dec. 17.--Nationwide prohibition has been a great boon to the monshiner His business has doubled during the past fiscal year While prohibition has deprived the nation, the states and local munich palities of hundreds of millions in revenue, it has multiplied the num- Der of illicit stills that pay no taxes.
 These facts are disclosed in an an- nual report of Daniel c. Roper, com missioner of internal revenue.
 A total of 5,909 illicit stills were seized by revenue officers during the fiscal year. The aggregate value of the illicit stills seized during the ifs cal year 1919 is placed at $617,647, against a value of $195,359 for those seized during the preceding year.
 The fiscal year 1918 was all wet, and illicit stills were seized in 20 states. With 1919 partly dry seizures were made in 30 different states. While the number doubled, the ag- gregate value more than trebled, i'm dicating a vast increase in the volume of moonshine booze.
 The largest number of seizures was

made in states that have been dry longest, Georgia heading the list with practically one-third of all seizures made. North Carolina accounted for about one-fourth of the seizures. Both states have been legally dry for 10 years.
 Commissioner Roper lets the fig ures speak for themselves, adding no comment of his own.
 The fact that revenue officers To- cate perhaps not more than one il- licit still in 10 indicates that the number of stills presided over by moonshiners during the fiscal year 1919 may have aggregated 6O,000.

In 1911, on his fathers death, MT. Knapp succeeded to the position of chief. During the past nine years, under his direction, the scope of his work has been materially widcned, and the number of workers increased many fold. He has had a large part in shaping agricultural extension bill and other important laws which have been enacted by congress.
 In connection with Mir. Knapp's appointment President John C. Fut- rall said:
 With an awakening interest on the part of the people of the state in agricultural prosperity and rural inn provement as the basis of the pros perity and we'll being of the entire state, MT. Knapp's coming to Arkan- sas is a matter of no small import ance.
 "It would hardly be an exaggera- tion to speak of him as the outstand- ing figure in southern agriculture to- day. His early training, his long residence in Louisiana, his experi- ence of 10 years as head of the gov ernment agricultural extension ser vice in the south, his remarkable ex- ecutive ability, his keen insight into the great problems of rural life which lie deeper than the question of agricultural production, unite to make him peculiarly fitted to direct the activities of the college of agriculture of great and grow ing southern state"
