Drifting for the
North Pole

SEATTLE, Aug. 26.-Bound for
the North Pole, Roald Amundsen, Nor
wegian disioverer of the South Pole,
is at present drifting in his ire-loiked
schooner, the Maud, somewhere north
of western Siberia, according to be-
liefs held by the Seattle Norwegian
vice-consulate and Vihalmur Stefan
son, Canadian Arctic explorer.
In planning the trip, the explorer
said he expected, after reaching the
pole, to return either to Grant Land,
which lies west of Greenland, or Mel
vile Island, which lies in the Arctic
ocean north of Canada. Should he
reach Melville Island he probably
would journey by sea to Nome, Alas
ka, or overland to Dawson, Yukon
territory.

"Flu" Coming
Back This Fall,
Says Doctor

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The infu-
enza epidemic will return in October
as soon as people begin to live in
doors again, DR.. Royal s. Copeland,
head of the New York health depart
ment, predicted today. He said the
death toll would be serious, but not
so bad as last year.
Declaring science knew no preven-
tive for the disease, DR.. Copeland
added:
There is nothing to do but wait un-
til it comes; then fight it until it
passes. The best means of preven-
ton is common sense-avoid infected
persons and don't become panicky."
Physicians here believe persons who
suffered fro minhuenza and survived
last year will be less susceptible, if
not immune, this year.

Big Increase in
Sugar Demand

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The
United States is now dry but sweet
Reports received here from whole
sale sugar dealers throughout the
country indicate that prohibition has
increased the demand for sugar any
where from thirty to forty per cent,
Investigation by the government has
proven that prohibition has greatly
increased the demand for sugar, par
ticularly in soft drinks and other SUBJ
stitutes.
Despite this fact, the wholesalers
deny reports coming from New York
that Gamers are facing a sugar fam
inc because of the inability of refin-
ers to get raw sugar supplies to this
country. They declare that there
can be no increase in sugar prices
until the first of the year; that sugar
exports are now ten times as great
as they were year ago; that there
are ample sugar supplies to meet the
country severest demands.
According to recent report of the
of commerce, under date
of August Z, the export of refined
sugars from January I to August Z
amounted to 100000 tons for 1919
as against 28,437 tons for 1918. The
wholesale sugar dealers contend that
the result of this export was to pre-
vent them from accumulating and
stock for the big demands of the
berry season." and that this is the
reason for the talked at this time
Of shortage of sugar. 1t is esti-
mated at the department of agricul-
,ure that the American crop this year
will amount to 800, 900 tons.

Rurnors of New
League Flying

NEW YORK, Aug. 27,-(By Unit
ed Press )-Troubles over Carl Mays,
when the Yankee pitcher was sus-
pended by Ban Johnson and then TAX
en- into court through the action of
his employers when they asked an
injunction against Johnson, serves to
bring strongly to mind the fact that
the major league circuits have been
on the verge of severe shakeups sew
eral times within the last few years.
There have been plenty of rumors
to the effect that the case of Mays
would end in split that would carry
the Boston, New York and Chicago
clubs out of the league and into a
new organization that would carry
enough weight to smash the Ameri-
can.
If there is any foundation for such
a surmise it hasn't yet developed, but
it is fact that The question was Civ
en- consideration ... II
Some years ago there were attempts
to prove that St. Louis was not large
enough to support two baseball clubs,
and efforts were made to have its
franchise transferred TO Kansas City
or Milwaukee. Only brief time ago
there was an effort to transfer the
Washington franchise to Toronto,
which was all set to bid for the Amer
lean league club. Baltimore has tried
many times to get back into baseball
as major league city, and has been
prevented only by the fact that it
never has shown itself equal to the
task of caring for a big league club.
Now there are reports that Cincin-
natl will be made to house a new
club, and that Toledo and Indian
apolis have been given consideration.
These reports hinge on the possibility
of a split in the American, with the
necessity for new cities to replace
those shuffed out by the revolving
clubowners.
So far as can be learned nothing
definite has been done. The recaIci-
trant ones would much prefer to de-
capitate Ban Johnson and go on their
peaceful way with a new president
who would not act quite so much like
czar.
1t has been contended that Detroit
and Philadelphia would fall over them
selves getting into the new outfit
should the triumvirate of powerful
clubs decide to break away.

Distillers Turn
Against Saloons

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-(United
Press.) e. Distillers are wondering
what they are going to do with the
huge stocks of liquor left on their
hands when the nation went into it's
prohibition period.
They believe, according to O. H.
Wathen, who is head of Kentucky's
largest whiskey manufacturing plant,
that whiskey will come back some of
these days, but even they are firm
against allowing it to come back in
the old way.
"We don't want scloons," Wathen
said today. eve would have liquor
take it's place as commodity, to be
disposed Of at the grocery or the de-
partment store. We have no patience
with the saloon. 1t got us into all our
trouble. A man used to drop into
saloon, begin consuming whiskey, and
walk out staggering drunk, He
went home and annoyed his wife, the
neighbors saw him and pitied him.
The drys pointed to him as a horrible
example, and whiskey took all the
blame. We believe whiskey can be
handled right in this country, and
we are going to make fight to that
end. Abolish the saloon and let the
householder but his whiskey and take
it home. That's what we want to hap
pen, and we want to do away with
the bad whiskey that made physical
wrecks of people. Good whiskey
won't hurt any one unless he makes
a pig of himself"
Wathen estimated that there is
$77,000,000 in whiSKey tied up in
government warehouses. The govern
ment agents hold the key to this stock,
not the distiller. A great deal of it
reprcent the capital of ditiller. They
want chance to get rid of it, and
are hoping that Congress will in some
way declare war prohibition at an end
and give them chance to sell off
the accumulation.
"If Congress will allow us to start
in September to get rid of our stocks"
said Wathen, 1--WE will come near dis
posing of it by the time the national
prohibition law goes into effect. /
think we are entitled to some consid-
Grafton.
"We can't get insurance on stock
unless policies had been issued before
prohibition went into effect Insur-
ance companies fear destruction of
the liquor by some fanatic, so we are
facing more than merely a loss
through coniscation. If fire were
to start in some of these plants 1t
would wipe out the men who are
holding the stocks"
Wathen said that when the govern
ment banned the use Of corn, barley |
and rye in the manufacture of whis-
key, it was with the understanding
that wartime prohibition would be
lifted in time to allow the dealers to |
dispose of their stocks. This prom
Sc, he declared, has not been kept
Asked if export business was re-
lieving the situation any, the dis
Jiller said the effect was hardly notice
able.
"The don't care for American |
in England, Ireland and |
Scotland" he said. "They prefer
Irish and Scotch whiskies. We are
'hipping some abroad, but not a great |
leal, and within short time that ave
nue. will be cut off. In France they |
prefer wines"
