REMARKABLE
NONCOMPLIANCE
OF APRISONER

PARIS, Sept. l Correspondence of
Associated Press Little Roadway
has been made iH the case of Landru,
"the Cambais Bluebeard," as the
French papers term him, who is
charged by the police with being
responsible for the disappearance of
thirteen women to whom he had
promised marriage.
The police have been Investigating
for four months, and four times a
week Landru is taken from the prison
of La Sante to the office of Judge
BONN whose questions as to the fate
of the thirteen women elicit from
witty responses. They have got as
far as sweetheart number three and
Landru's fippant replies have nearly
driven the Judge to nervous prostra-
ton.
Yesterday the judge announced
that he was going for holiday. Lam
dru Immediately Clipped in with the
request that he, too, be permitted to
take vacation as the regime of La
Sante did not agree with him. Might
he not be allowed to go to his villa
at Gambais and hold himself at the
disposition of the court? It was from
Gambais villa that Landru's future
spouses disappeared never to be
heard of since.
Judge BONN was asking this week
how it was that his son who assisted
him in removing the furniture of
three of his frances did not make
queries when moving that Of Mrs.
in six months. did he not find it
stranger" asked the judge.
my children obey my orders; they
do not discuss them" responded Lam
dru. 81 have my misgivings as to
the way you bring up your children,
Judge" he added sententiously.
Landru contended that he had an
order from Mrs. Guillin, drawn up in
legal form, giving him full power of
attorney to administer her property.
This document was not found among
your papers, therefore, I must con-
clude that it never existed said the
Judge.
And as you and all your police,
with all the means at your command
are unable to find Mrs. Guillin, l must
conclude that she never existed,
countered Landru.
Not one vestige Of the missing
woman has been found and the charge
of murder against Landru has been
growing weaker. There is no "cOr
pus delicti" The villa at Gambais
has been ransacked by the police
and ponds in the vicinity Of the villa
have been drained, but it would appear
that the women have vanished into
thin air. To questions as to the
probable whereabouts of the missing
women, or his relations with them
prior to their disappearance, he in
variabIy replies: Il am a man Of the
world, cannot betray the confidence
of women"

SCARCITY OF SUGAR
IS EMPHASIZED BY
INCIDENT in PARIS

PARIS, Aug. % Correspondence
of Associated Press "A truck driver
was unloading load of heavy sacks
at a restaurant in one of the boule-
wards yesterday when one of them
burst and it's contents were spread
over the sidewalk. A crowd gathered.
One young man wet his finger and
tasted the white powder.
Great heavens" he shouted, ut is
sugar!"
Then the pillage began. News
papers, handkerchiefs and women's
handbags served as receptacles for
holding the precious dainty. In a
few minutes there remained of that
sack of sugar nothing but a white
spot on the sidewalk around which
congregated little dogs.
Every one is allowed two pounds
of sugar per month in France upon
production of his sugar card. The
correspondent has produced his card
about a dozen times since the begin
ming of the month but he has not yet
been able to obtain his August quota.

RESUMED as JUDGE
RULES AGAINST ACT
Rhode Island Judge Holds I'm
constitutional Wartime
Prohibition Law.

Providence, R. l., Nov. 12.-Judge
Arthur l.. Brown in the federal dis
trict court today issued temporary
injunction against Harvey A. Bak-
er, U. S. attorney, and George F
Shaunessey, collector of internal
revenue, restraining them from en-
forcing the provisions of the war
time prohibition act. The injunc-
ton was issued upon the petition OF
the Narragansett Brewing company
The sale of four per cent beer was
Immediately resumed by Providence
liquor dealers.
The court in handing down it's de-
cision said:
"In view of the probability that
the act in question will ultimately
be held unconstitutional and of the
irreparable damage that would re-
suit from it's immediate enforce
ment, and as, in view of the evil
dence afforded by the presidential
proclamations and other circum-
stances it's immediate enforcement is
not imperative. l am conceived that
the plaintiffs right to a prelimin-
airy injunction is clear"
| The decree will be entered tomor-
row when it will become effective
| The opinion is the first construc-
ton Of the Volstead prohibition en-
forcement) act handed down by any
court in the country. While nom
inally it restraints the federal off,
Gals in this jurisdiction from en-.
forcing title one Of that act against
the Narrgansett Brewing company
it virtually states the belief of the
court that the entire wartime pro.
hibition act is unconstitutional anc
cannot be enforced.

Doctor Issues Warning
And Tells How to Stop
Tobacco Habit

New York: DR.. Conner, formerly
of Johns Hopkins hospital, says: l
am often asked if I know anything
to stop the tobacco habit and l al
ways recommend NicotoL which L,
have prescribed with great success.
Nicotol contains no habit-forming
drugs, is absolutely harmless and
produces astonishing results in a very
short time. The use of tobacco
saps the vitality, vim, vigor and am
bition of the slave who is enthralled
by it's seductive effects. It under
mines the health and leaves the victim
an easy prey to general debility,
throat and lung troubles, nervous
ness, insomnia. heart trouble, kidney
trouble. headache, tongue and lip can
Ger and even blindness. Physicians

of the above diseases and many 9TH

OF SCENES when

Hanging of |. w. w. Member
Was Conducted in Quiet
Manner, Says Farmer.

Centralia, Wash, Nov. 12.-Detaiis
of the clash here yesterday during
which the armistice day parade W.:
fired upon with fatal results were
recounted today by persons who W.
messed the affair.
The parade had passed through
crowded streets, led by Captain
David Livingston. who served IA
France with the 16lst infantry. AS
the head of the column Of members
of the American Legion and other
ex-service men, swung into Tower
avenue, in front of the Industrial
Workers hall, the ranks marked time
to permit the rear to catch up. Thee
the firing broke out.
The shots seemed to come from
several directions, but onlookers be-
leve most of them were fired FROM
l. W. w. headquarters and from the
Avalon Hotel, across the street.
care you hit, Warren asked
William Schales, who was standing
beside Warren Grimm, one of those
fatally wounded.
81 don't think So" replied the
wounded man, as he started toward
an automobile across the street. AS
he reached the edge of the car he
groaned. He was put in the car and
started for the hospital, but died
before he reached there.
Men came running from the DIFF
ferent exits of the l. w. w. hall.
Britt Smith started out of the rear
of the building firing an automatic
which jammed, witnesses said. He
ran through a yard with crowd
following.
Crist Coleman, one of those wound
ed, was in the lead. Smith fired
several times, his weapon having
been restored to working order. Re
appeared to have plenty of ammun;-
ton. Coleman dropped with shot
through the leg. The fleeing I. w.
w. secretary was chased to the Skoo-
kumchuck river where he leaped
down the bank with Hubbard close
behind him. Seeing he could not
swim the stream, Smith turned back
and dashed up the bank where he
was confronted by Hubbard. Then
Smith fired three times into Hub
bard's body, onlookers said. A NOM
ent later Smith was overpowered by
Howard Barner.
Start Round Up.
Meantime roundup of other l.
w. w. members had started, led by
men in uniform who had been in the
parade. The anger of the crowd be-
came greater as the word spread that
four men were dead. AS Smith was
brought in sight, an attempt was
made to hang him. He was defiant
and hitched at the khaki trousers he
wore. He had lost his hat as he
ran.
"You fellows can't hang me-" he
gloated. 81 was sent to do my duty
and l did it."
While the attempt to hang Smith
was being made, Captain Livingston,
a physician and others were doing
their utmost for the wounded men in
the hospital. Hubbard suffered in
ternal hemorrages and gradually
grew weaker. Muttered threats
against the l. w. WIS were passed
about.
Early in the evening the men who
planned to hang Smith gathered near
the Jail.
At 7:3O o'clock the lights of the
city snapped out as though cut
through a giant switch. The entil g
city was dark.
Even the half dozen automobiles
gathered near the Jail by the mob
had no lights. Not a match was
struck. Motorists approaching from
