ANDERs0N's BIG SECRET OUT.
Man With Rtpsaw Can Get Drunk
on . Fence Despite Law.


The secret Is out az to why william
H. Anderson, State Superintendent Of
the Anti-Saloon League, remains so fever
ishly active although the federal prohibi-
ton amendment has passed and war
time prohibition goes into effect on
July 1.
Speaking before the New York East
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in Brooklyn yesterday, he lifted
the veil. In his remarks he mentioned
the assertion that alcohol can be made
from sawdust and said:
cit Is no time for prohibitionists to lay
down when man can 20 out with a rip
saw and get drunk on a fence
The drys had the advantage Of a
but It was necessary to carry on an edu-
cational campaign greater than there
had been heretofore. Referring to the
question as to who should enforce the
prohibition law after July /, which was
raised by Daniel c. Roper Commissioner
of Internal Revenue. yesterday Anderson
said:
Practically all the States, including
New York. forbid the sale of liquor en-
tirely except on a license or liquor GER
tificate. After July I, unless demobi-
lization Is proclaimed. no license can
be issued and those now in force will be
invalidated. Therefore there will be
prohibition in New York under State
law, and It will be up to the State OFF,
Gals to enforce It."

RECORDS INDICATE
Officials Delue Into Accused

Evidence indicating that DIR. Walter

murder Of his wife at Long Beach, L. l.,
on February 81, was married four times
instead Of three. as he has stated re-
peatedly to the authorities. Is being In
vestiRated by District Attorney Weeks
of Nassau county. The evidence 80 far
consists OF a line in a marriage record
which has Just been received from Napa,
Cal.
The record is attached to a decree OF
divorce obtained by Grace wilkins in
California In 1889 and shows that Wal
ter X wilkins and Grace Mansfield were
married by the Rev. D. n. Lewis. who
made the notation parties previously
married" on his record. District Attor-
ney Weeks will arrange to have 4 rep
resentative in California question the
clergyman and learn, II Mr.. Lewis can
remember II. whether DR.. wilkins In
formed him affirmatively that he had
been married before he married Miss
Mansfield. Mr.. Weeks considers It pos
sible that only Miss Mansfield may have
been married previously and that the
clergyman wrote in both parties names
by mistake.
In her petition for divorce the former
Miss Mansfield charged desertion, idle
ieSS anu pIoHikdCy, anu appended a let
ter signed Walter and written to some
woman whose name is not disclosed. 1t
ran in part:
II wouldn't go through these awful
days and weeks again for any amount
of money My heart will jump for Joy
the moment there is prospect Of set
Ting the hour when I shall be with you.
Does my precious one fully realize how
dear abe is to me and how previously,

These precious kisses am Just famish-
ing for.
This awful predicament OF mine,
caused by business ventures, Ia some
thing terrible. with my sweetest kisses
for you and with loving thought, I am
your heartsick boy. Walter"
DIR. wilkins, when asked about a
fourth marriage. said there had never
been one and that the notation indicat-
ing a marriage earlier than the first one
he admits was mistake. He denied
that he had written the letter attached
to the divorce petition, saying that as
