800 Trained Inspectors Will Cooper ate with 2,2S3 Revenue Agents
 After July i.

Washington, April 9.--Three thou sand internal revenue agents working in specially arranged zones through out the United States will enforce prohibition after July 1st according to plans announced today by tho revenue bureau. Nearly 500 inspec- tors will be trained for the work to be added to the force of 2,2S3 rev. cnue agents already available for DO. lice regulations.
 This force of special agents will bo distributed among, the districts where law violation is threatened to the largest extent. They plan to CO., operate with local police and to leave the greater part of the enforcement work to these authorities in localities where the police appear efficient.
 Without such a plan the force Of even three thousand federal agents would be insufficient to police the en- tire country.
 Although 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 traf- lie and to leave the enforcement of the law against personal manufacture to local police

TO DECIDE FUTURE
 0F LOCAL SALOONS Chamber of Commerce Conn., mittee Will Suggest Sale
 of Soft Drinks.

One Of the important and inter- esting subjects which has been taken up by the chamber of commerce dur ing the past week, and for which committee has been appointed, Is that of putting the stores now occupied by saloons to good advantage after July 1. The committee has been instruct ed and will report back to the direc- tors upon the possibilities of main taining the saloons as meeting places for men where soft drinks will re- place the drinks now sold. and cigars and tobacco may be secured.
 The committee plans to confer with a committee from the Liquor Dealers association and at that time, the possibilities of such a movem ent will be discussed. There are, at pres ent, 66 saloons in the city, and while the possibilities of having all 66 oper- ate as the chamber committee will suggest, arc admittedly slight, the committee hopes to have a portion of that number, at least, run as meet ing places and dispensaries of soft drinks. The purpose of this move is to provide 8 substitute for the saloon in the event of prohibition going into effect July 1.
 President A. F. Monsees of the Li- uuor Dealers association stated this morning that his organization had not been notified Of the move which is on foot, and consequently no committee has been appointed, as yet, to repre- sent the saloon keepers. Tn the event of +he formal notification by the chamber of the purpose of the move ment, it is believed that the commit tee will be appointed at once to sit with the chamber committee.

CONFESSION PLAYS
 PART IN BIG TRIAL
Lincoln Mckinley Grant, of Pittsfield, Charged With Murder of Miles
 Hewitt in 1917.

Pittsiield Mass, April 9.-~In the charged with the murder of Miles Hewitt on February o6, 1917, Judge Morton today admitted in evidence over exception by the defense the con- fession which Grant made in his own handwriting the night Of his arrest, April 19, 1917. The foundation for the admission of the confession was laid by police officers. They all said that Grant had voluntarily stated his connection with the crime. Thomas F. Conlin, clerk of the district court, who took the certifcation, said that Grant was anxious to make the con- fession.
 The battle of the experts to deter mine Grants mental condition is about to begin. Lawyer Patrick J. Moore, in outlining the case for the defense, said that mentally and phy- sically Grant had an abnormal history. His mother had a severe nervous ill., ness at the time of his birth; the son had a variety of serious illnesses; was once hit on the head in a baseball game, and the records would be ex- hibited to the judge. Once he hit his father with d hammer; was found wandering on the main street of the city looking for a wife he thought he had; had fallen from a step-1adder in a fit, and had a seizure in a boat once. It would be proved, MT. Moore said, that Grant had at least one epileptic seizure when he was under observa- ton in BridgeWater.
