was owed to Penn's father.
On arriving at New Castle, Penn
called the residents there together and
told them Of a plan to establish a colony
for prosecuted Friends in America.
Some greeted his plan with enthusiasm.
while others. it is said, were skeptical
and had their doubts about the new
promoter.
Being of an inquisitive turn of mind,

Alleged MOOnshiners Capture DR.
Officer.

III. w. Ratliff, West Virginia
state Prohibition officer, was seized
by a gang Of alleged moonshiners
and brought before a Greenbr1er
county Justice of the peace and
found guilty on a charge Of bootleg
ging and was sentenced to serve
sixty days in Jail by the justice. AS
he was being led to the county bas-
tile by one Of the alleged moonshtn-
ers he was rescued by brother OIL
Ger.
Ratliff and another officer went in
to the hills of Greenbrier to investi-
gate a report that many illicit stills
were in operation there. The Off
GERS located two stills and Ratliff
went to the village of Auto to tele-
phone Charleston for additional Off
GERS to make the raid. While in the
village he: was arrested by the al
legged moonshiners at the point Of
a revolver and brought before the
Justice charged with bootlegging.
Following the rescue Of Ratliff the
officers destroyed two stills and more
than 5000 gallons of mash and swore
out 10 warrants for Greenbrier coun-
ty residents who are charged with
manufacturing moonshine.

THREE "WET" MONTHS is ALARM.
ING "DRYS1
linn Some Quarters It IS Feared That
Even Ban On Whisky May BE Lift

The statement of Secretary Baker
that utilization Of the Army will
be complete on or before October !
has greatly agitated officials of the
Anti-Saloon League and allied organi-
cations. t.1isi@ :.
They are evidently afraid that when
that task is finished President Viii
son will issue a proclamation de-
Amendment to the Constitution be-
comes operative in January next the
sale of beer and light wines at least
that were wet" prior to July l.
1t is also rumored that the Presi-
dent may 60 SO far as to claim to
possess the authority to include the
sale of whisky and gin during the
practically three months between the
date of actual Rehabilitation and the
date when the national prohibition
amendment goes into effect through
out the country.
Strong representations have been
made to him that in view of the fact
that the banks have SO much money
loaned on strong liquors that were
| in Government bonded warehouses,
and the owners have not had suffi-
cient time in which to dispose of
their holdings and meet their f1nan-
! cial obligations, it would be an act of
| justice, il the President is warranted,
in going further in his proclamation,
! i'm the event he finds that he has that
authority.
Indications are that the Senate
Judiciary Committee will not stand
! for some OF the more drastic pro-
visions carried in the House prohibi-
ton enforcement bill, but that does
not signify that they will not be
voted into the measure when the bill
reaches the Senate chamber Broad
ly speaking, Senators, regardless of
party utilization, are likely to favor as
drastic legislation as the House men,
berS put through.
