LIQUOR IN KENTUCKY
WHITE ELEPHANT NOW
Distillers Lose Hope of Getting
Rid of Stock; Alleged Law
breakers Arrested.

LOUISVILLE. KY, December 10 (by
the Associated Press) dis.
tillers apparently began today to lose
hope of Kidding themselves Of their
large stock of liquor before national
prohibition comes into force, January
Is. At that time all whisky intended
for export must be out Of this coun-
try or be confiscated, according to
federal authorities.
AS far as could be learned today no
workable plan for disposing of the
liquor stocks in Kentucky bonded
warehouses, said to be worth at
wholesale more than $3.50, O0O. 900, had
been instanced, and whisky interests
were said to look with alarm upon the
narrowing time limit.
Meanwhile, federal officers in the
last two days have arrested fourteen
alleged violators of the wartime pro-
hibition law and, it is understood,
have warrants for arrest of others on
similar charges. Among those arrest
ed is Peter Bitter, termed the most
arrested" man in Louisville, and who
has been before local courts many
times in the last few months on
charges of violating the prohibition
law. Bitter and the others were held
to the March federal grand jury.
Owsley Brown, spokesman for the
no plan for disposing Of whisky stocks
had been accepted. He said their chief
obstacle resulted from inability to
find a. country to which the liquor
might be shipped. and, even if a coun-
try were located, inadequate railroad
service, lack of ocean bottoms, and
a shortage of storage facilities abroad
probably would prevent any great
movement of liquor from this state.

Characterizing the canvassing of the
schools of Washington to help swell va
rious fund drives as "a public null
sance," the Rhode Island Avenue Sub
urban Citizens Association, at the regu-
lar meeting Of the organization last
night, voiced its protest against such
practices The meeting, which was held
In Sherwood Presbyterian Church. was
presided over by William S. Torbert,
president of the association.
Emmett Midkiff. a member of the asso-
citation. declared that the children OF
Washington have been in many in

various funds with which the city has
been inflicted in the last few weeks. "
"Demerits for Failure

marks" freely to those pupils who fail
to bring in their quota Of the drives.
Mr.. Torbert said the practice is I'M
doubtedly burden on the children and
parents, but, he added, it is likewise a
burden on the teachers. He said the
teachers would be the first to rejoice il
the board of education would place a
ban on canvassing in the public schools
Without discussion, the association
reiterated its opposition to any change
in the fiscal relations between the Dis
trict government and that of the Unit
ed States. The organization also went
on record as favoring an additional
water supply for the city.
Waldo Warland Stevens, who spoke
on better protection for the District, de-
clared men are hesitant about accepting
jobs on the police force when they know
the courts are slow In convicting male
factors. He cited several cases where
policemen were shot and killed, and the
criminals trials were delayed.

quate police force and cut down the
present crime wave appreciably," said
Mr.. Stevens. lis to urge that speedy
justice be meted out to all offenders.
The police of Washington have done
nobly. They deserve our support, but
they have been woefully Handicapped.
They will not stay in the police de-
partment when the courts delay trial

lives of their comrades"
The Rhode Island Avenue Suburban
Citizens Association is now the eighth
largest association of it's kind in

$4,000 ARMY PLAN
WILL Be REJECTED
Chairman Wadsworth, Head

diets 280, 900 Limit.

Tho proposal of the War Depart
| ment for a Regular Army of $4,000
officers and men will be rejected by
both Senate and House military af-
fairs committees when they report the
| Army reorganization bills to their
respective houses. Chairman Wads-
tee would fix the strength of the
Army at about 5000, and the House
committee has agreed tentatively on
a similar number.
The Senate committee hoped to have

Universal Training Suggested.
Under the legion's recommendations
only a sufficient standing army for
police and overseas garrison puf.
poses should be provided. Universal
military training for boys from eight
cen to twenty years of age and gen.
eral staff 'liberalized by an admiX-
ture of citizen officers" was recon-
mended. Continuance of the present
officers training camps and sep
arate department of aeronautics also
were favored.
Col Davis suggested a limited try
out" system to fix the number of men
to receive military training, which, he
| thought, with proper National Guard
provisions, would meet objections of
opponents of compulsory training and
| also give the states forces they need.
Gen. Organ renewed his recon-
mendations for a citizen army to re-
place both National Guard and re-
serve corps to supplement the regular
forces and be available locally at the

ton to the federal government for
