5000 RUM SLEUTHS
ENFORCE DROUGHT
-
Internal Revenue Bureau Get
ting Ready to Stop Illegal
Distillers.
ZONE SYSTEM PLANNED
Big Cities Are to Be Watched
81 With Most Care After Pro-
hibition Comes.

WASHINGTON, April s.-Three thou
sand internal revenue agents working in
specially arranged zones throughout the
United States will enforce prohibition
after July /, according to plans an
nounced to-day by the Revenue Bureau
Nearly 500 inspectors will be added
10 the force Of 3.2s3 revenue agents al
ready available for police regulations,
and the enforcement machinery will be
in working order before the date when
absolute prohibition becomes effective.
This force Of special agents will be
distributed in districts where revenue
officials look for most persistent efforts
TO make whiskey Illegally. In addition
the revenue authorities plan to cooper
ate with local police and to leave the
greater part of the enforcement work
to these authorities In localities where
the police appear efficient
Although the manufacture OF liquor
for personal use will be equally illegal
with the production for sale. revenue
agents are expected to devote most OF
their time to the commercial traffic.
One chief inspector will be assigned
to each zone. with as many assistants
as the character Of the territory indi-
Gates necessary. Tho men will be espe-
cially trained in detection work, most
having served in that capacity for
many years. Although liquor violations
have been found by revenue agents
mainly among moonshiners OF Southern
mountains. prohibition is expected to
stimulate Illicit distillation enormously
In cities where the demand will be most
constant and consequently where greater
profits from the occupation can be
reaped
One aspect OF liquor law violations has
grown out of the hundreds Of recipes for
home manufacture OF beer. ale. wines
and distilled liquors now being circu-
lated in all parts OF the country. 1t was
explained to-day that to make liquor
according to these recipes will constitute
clear violations of the law. although II
was admitted It would be difficult to
prevent the manufacture In most cases.
Private stills can be acquired legally
only by registration with the revenue
collector OF the district. Manufacturers
Of stills are under strict regulation OF
the revenue bureau. being required to
pay $50 a year license fee for doing
business. and to pay specific tax OF $50
on each still or worm sold.
Many reports OF the manufacture OF
family stills" on a large scale and their
sale at low prices have reached the rev.
enue bureau. but have proved false In
most cases
BY n careful system OF administra-
tive regulations the bureau plans to
make IL difficult for the use Of flavor
ing extracts. perfumes. toilet prepara-
tons and other articles containing al
cohol for beverage purposes. Medi-
cines containing alcohol already must
have a composition to make II physi-
cally impossible TO take quantities as
beverage without causing illness.

The Hungarian Soviet Government, Il
Is reported. has appropriated all art OBJ
jects, paintings and sculpture in pri-
vate possession and opened an exhibit
ton which is free to the proletariat
but costs any member OF the bourgeo!sie
so cents to see. The exhibition includes
the famous collection of Count Julius
Ancrassy. formerly the Foreign Minis
ter.
Intense Indignation prevails In MI
MICH. which Is marifesting itself In
threats of a counter revolution against
the Soviet Government over tho CLOSING
of the banks. The decree stated that
the banks were closed for new internal
organization" All day excited depoai-
tors surrounded the banks giving threat
ening expression to their resentment
Not even the fact that the Central
Council had proclaimed rigorous mar
tial law prevented the crowd from de-
nouncing those who had closed the
banks as robbers.
Representatives of the Soviet Govern
ment in the crowds attempted to allay
the anger OF the throng, with little sue
cess. This action Of the Soviet Govern
ment Is likely to arouse the sleeping
bourgeois class out of their apathy.
Many fear that even II the present Gov
eminent is ousted their money will dis
appear. One Of the phenomena OF the
Munich situation Is growing anti
Semetic feeling. which Is attributed to
the fact that some of the prominent
leaders are Jews.
Late this afternoon Berlin Is quiet.
Minister Noske. like a field marshal. Is
sitting at his headquarters In constant
touch with his forces In all parts Of the
