VETS Now CLAIM FARMERS
Say That Farmers Have Changed
Attitude
Claim Them Organized Against
Prohibition
Used to Be Considered Real 10y
Killers
Argument Has Its Usual Pro-
Liquor Soundness

The Association Opposed to Ma
tional Prohibitions Springs" a new
one every week. First this booze or
ganization announced that hotel rates
are boosted because OF Prohibition.
The following week they announced
that freight rates would be greatly
increased by Prohibition. This week
they announce that the farmers
throughout the country are organized
against Prohibition, and here is the
reason, as given by the A. O. n. p:
Reports from all parts OF the coun-
try show that farmers are reaching
the turning point after realizing that
their franchise has been used by pro-
fessional Prohibitionists, and that the
rich man of the city has stored thou
sands OF dollars worth OF vintage and
spirits in his cellar"
And so, just for spite, the farmers
oi W NOiN WI HNItdltCI. Tic
A. o. n. P. leaders have contended
that the farmers voted dry because
they were "rubes." and did not know
the joys OF city life as exempIihcd in
the cafes and cabarets. In other
words, they were the original joy
killers, but now for no other reason
than that these city guys" who have
heretofore enjoyed the bright lights
OF Broadway. New York and lesser
Broadways Of other cities, have stor-
ed their cellars with booze, the
"rubes" are going to vote the country
wet. Isn't that logical? 1t is as logi-
cal as the argument advanced by the
A. o. n. P in support OF their con-
tention that the constitution of the
United States is unconstitutional.

EVAPORATION CUTTING
BIG WHISKY RESERVE

According to Kentucky revenue
officials, Prohibition is being aided by
evaporation and leakage OF whisky
which is being held in barrels by the
government. There arc S,2A,0l6 gal
Ions of whisky held in the Lexington
district alone. 1t is valued at many
millions OF dollars. Fully as much
more is held in other revenue districts
in the state. Revenue men say that in
10 years this whole amount will have
gone to "staves" meaning, evaporation
and leakage from the wood, leaving
only the aroma.

Robin ]. Cooper of Nashville Is
Murdered
Body Found by Police in Rich
land Creek
Evidences Indicate a Very Vio-
lent Struggle
DISPUTE OVER WHISKY
Believed That Dispute Resulted
in Killing
Tragedy May Have Been Result
of Robbery
Police Following Down Meager
Clues, but Report No Real So
luton of Tragedy

Robin J. Cooper, Nashville,
Tenn, attorney, whose trial for the
killing Of former u. S. Senator Ed
ward w. Carmack during the cele-
brated pistol duel between his
father Col. d. B. Cooper and
Carmack in 1908, was murdered
last week under mysterious cir
cumstances. His body was found
by the police in Richland Creek after
his blood-stained automobile had
been found ON bridge near his home
in the fashionable Belle Mead Park
section. The skull had been crushed
but there were evidences that vio-
lent struggle had taken place before
the fatal blow was struck.
The police are of the opinion that
Cooper was murdered by whisky
peddlers. This theory is borne out by
the fact that it was known that
Cooper had borrowed a small guam
tity of whisky for the purpose OF en-
pertaining friend from Paris.
Cooper is said to have remarked that
he was expecting some liquor soon
but did not say from whom the pur-
chase had been made.
The evening of the murder a man
called at Cooper's home and Cooper
drove away with him in the automo-
bile. The unknown man was heard to
remark "You could have had more il
you had wanted it." 1t is thought
that the man had referred to the
whisky for which Mr.. Cooper was
negotiating. Cooper did not take
time to put on his coat or hat which
led the police to believe that he
had no intention of driving far.
1t is thought that Cooper and the
man got Tito a dispute over the
whisky which resulted in the murder.
Another theory is that the object
of the murder was robbery as it was
known that Cooper had drawn $l0,-
600 from the bank few days previ-
Gus, although there is no evidence
that the house had been ransacked
and it is not probable that Cooper
carried this amount of money on his
person.
Mrs. Cooper was away at the time
of the murder visiting friends at
Louisville.
The police have several Nashville
whisky peddlers under surveillance
and some arrests have been made.

Columbus Jurist Gives Anti
Liquor Ruling
Saloonman Violated Old Saloon
Regulation
Charged With Having Intoxicat-
ing Liquors
BOOTLEGGERS ARE HIT
Much Illegal Selling Reported at
Columbus
Technicalities Give No Hope to
Violators
Ohio Constitutional Amendment
Is Sustained and Furthermore
Docs Not Stop Dry Statutes
Effectiveness

Municipal Court Judge Ruth OF CO.
lumbus. O. in a ruling September 2
held that Ohio's Dry Amendment is
part of the Constitution and valid
and furthermore does not cstop pro-
secutions for selling liquors under
dry statutes long in effect in Ohio.
lie overruled demurrers of attor-
ncys OF Thomas O'Rourke, saloon
keeper charged with two separate
violations of the law, which forbids
the keeping of place where intoxi-
eating liquors are sold illegally"
Judge Ruth said it had been illegal
to sell liquor in Ohio since 1854 OK
cept as provided by license and that
the Prohibition Amendment so far
from setting aside previous enact
mcnts actually strengthened them.
Regulatory measures, he said, arc
small circles. The Dry Amendment
is a larger circle drawn around all
the others.
lie held further that entire Prohi-
bition OF the sale OF liquor to any
person at any time or place does not
make inconsistent statute that for
bids the sale of liquor to certain per-
sons at some particular time or place
or under certain circumstances.
O'Rourke will accordingly be
brought TO trial.
Judge Ruth concurs with the opin-
ion rendered by Acknowledgement
Price given to the State Licensing
Board some months ago on the sec
ton on which O'Rourkc's affidavits
were filed. which was that until Judi
cially decided, the statute should be
looked to as providing against illegal
sales
Evidences that bootlegging is be-
ing conducted i'll Columbus on a
large scale is apparent by the fact
that II persons charged with intoXi-
cation were fined in Municipal Court
on September p The police are vigil
ant but the chief OF police says that
they are handicapped by the refusal
OF the DRINKS to divulgc the source
OF their supply. Judge Ruth's decis-
ION will probably stimulate the police
department to greater activity
against the liquor law volators.

new LIQUOR HEAD SPEAKS CUT
Pearson Is Head of Phila. Liquor
Dealers
Announces Purpose of Killing
Off Prohibition
Spills Beans About Quaker City
Saloons
Newspaper to Be Treated On
Basis of Support

Neil Bonner's successor as presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Liquor
Dealers Association, James II. Pear
son. has announced that the biggest
fight ever waged by the liquor inter
ests of the country is about to be
started. He admits that booze has
been fighting losing battle for
many years but explains that he has
had nothing to do with it. From now
on Prohibitionists had better look
out.
The Philadelphia North American
in announcing Parsons declaration
OF war says that he did not make it
plain just how he was going to over
throw the Eighteenth Amendment to
the Constitution, that he only took
four closely typewriter pages to ex-
plain his plan. and that details would
probably come later. But anyawy,
Pearson feels absolutely sure that il
he can impress on the people what
bone dry Prohibition means, the
amendment is doomed.
The North American also says
that Pearson spilled the beans about
the general reopening OF the saloons
in Philadelphia on July IS. 1t was not
for profit at all. 1t was an eleemosy-
nary movement to meet the insistent
demands Of the trade for something
to drink
He demanded that the American
print his statement in full, explain
ing III you go chopping, there won't
be any sense to it." When he was told
by the reporter that no promise to
that effect could be given. he uttered
this dire threat: We'll, take it along
and we will see from what you do
with it how we treat you in the fut-
ure."

ment had taken snap judgment on the
whisky makers. The fact is that the
distillers have had plenty of warning
that Prohibition was coming but
they refused to heed that warning.
Instead they speeded up production 10
such point that it was necessary for
them to enter into an agreement
among themselves to limit production
because of supply on hand which
greatly exceeded the demand.
Mr.. Wathen also makes the asser-
ton that when the government banned
the manufacture of whisky it was
with the understanding that wartime
Prohibition would be lifted to allow
the distillers to dispose OF their stock,
promise which he says has not been
kept. 1t would be more to the point
if Mr.. Wathen would explain who
represented the government in such
an agreement
The fact is that the distillers never
agreed to the government ban on the
manufacture of whisky. The govern
ment edict was issued over their pro-
test.
When asked if European business
was relieving the situation, Mr.. Wa
then said that the effect was hardly
noticeable, explaining his statement
by declaring that American whisky
is not in favor in England, Ireland and
Scotland, the Irish and Scotch whisky
being given the preference, and that
in France the popular drink is wine.

The charge has been made very
often by the liquor interests publicity
men that one OF the leading contribut-
ing causes of the revolution in Russia
was Prohibition. They declared that
the working people OF that empire
rose up in mighty protest against the
"autocratic' action of taking from
them their vodka. their favorite drink.
One would naturally think that when
the Bolshevists gained control, if
Prohibition were indeed one OF the
grievances. the unrestricted sale of
liquor would be Immediately resumed
Many conflicting stories come from
Russia with reference to the Prohi-
bition situation. 1t is undoubtedly
true that vodka has flowed freely
since the overthrow OF the Gar, in
some sections at least, and that it has
been the cause of much bloodshed
and riot. 1t is interesting to hear
from Frank ]. Taylor, United Press
staff correspondent. that the Bolshevist
leaders have strictly enforced the
Prohibition cdict and that soviet Rus
STA is bone dry. The following is an
excerpt from his story. giving New
York date line:
Soviet Russia is bone dry; one

either. 1t is surprising to sec

FEWER WILD WOMEN IN
GAY CITY OF GOTHAM
Prohibition Has Cut Down the Num-
bers of Women Coming Before the
District Attorneys Office Because
of Liquor

The New York Herald quotes Miss
Rose Rothenberg, New Yorks only
woman assistant district attorney,
especially charged with looking after
cases involved with women, as say
ing: Since the advent of Prohibi
ton, there is a great decrease in the
numbers OF wild women appearing
before the police courts. We still
have old offenders, too far gone to
be influenced by the liquor laws un-
der Prohibition. but there is a great
change since Prohibition became ef-
fective.
"'Fhe type of prisoners in the won't
ems court formerly showed a start
ling percentage OF young girls. This
percentage has decreased cncourag-
ingly. The impulsive working girl
type of wild woman who was for
merly dazzled by the white lights OF
Broadway and by alcoholic bever-
ages. no longer spends her evenings
in barroom gayety. We find now that
she usually goes home to bed about
1890.
Even some of the hardened women
criminals were dropping from the
notice of the district attorneys Office.
and we attribute this to the difficulty
OF obtaining liquor OF drugs to nerve
them for work in partnership with
sneakthieves, pickpockets and burg
lars"

STICK-UP GANG LOOTS
FOUR EX-SALOON MEN
Lured Old Time Spirits Dealers to
Country Where They Were Told
Was Big Cache of Whisky

Four Cleveland X-saloonkeepers
were recently lured to an abandoned
farm near that city to see the largest
stock OF whisky in the state They
were led TO believe that a veriiablc
gold mine OF whisky was hidden in
the cellar of this old farmhouse The
farm is a mile and a half from any
other habitation. The man who
guided them to the farmhouse wanted
to be a genial host. and when they
reached the place they found plenty
OF beer awaiting them. They drank
the beer and talked the matter over,
and then the four ex-saloonkeepers
were asked to enter the cellar. They
had no sooner entered the cellar than
they were confronted by five men
with revolvers and they were robbed
of $4,000 in money and jewelry and
were then locked in the cellar. After
an hours effort, they succeeded in
forcing the door.
1t is interesting TO note the names
of these four ex-saloonkeepers who
were lured by the whisky and the
money they thought they would make
out OF it-Frank Moskovitz. Joseph
Furtos, Ernest Mueller, Ladslaw
Polya.

The bank clearings in the city of

$12000,000 in excess of the clearings
for the same month last year. This

Prohibition has played havoc with him
for he had to ask for an appropriation
