SPECTATORS TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF ADVANCE SUPREME COURT
DECISIONS.
STATEMENT BY BURKE
HEARST SERVICE TIPS COURT
TO INFORMATION FOR
INVESTIGATION.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Dec. 16. = Announce
ment has been made by the Depart
ment of Justice that an investigation
was being made of reports of alleged
'leaks" on Supreme Court decisions by
which spectators had attempted to
profit in stock market transactions.
Captain Burke, chief of the Bureau of
Investigation of the Department of
Justice, dictated to newspaper men
the following statement, which also
was taken by stenographer in Mr..
Burke's office:
con Nov. % Mr. Marlin Pew, man
ager of the International News Serv-
ice of New York, came to Washington
and consulted Chief Justice White of
the Supreme Court in regard to re-
cent alleged leaks in the Supreme
Courts DECISIONS
"Chief Justice White then came to
Judge Ames and asked him to investi-
gate a report by Mr. Pew that friend
had talked to him and had said that
he had been approached by a Mr.. b.
f. Moses, with offices in the Munsey
building, Washington, in regard to al
legged profiteering, by tips on Supreme
Court decisions.
"Mr. Moses was said to have told
PeW'S friend that he had advance in
formation on a Supreme Court deci-
sion. that if Pews friend would con-
meet him with financial agencies able
to finance the proposition they would
be able to play the market on ad-
vance information on the Supreme
Court decision, and that much money
could be made as result At that
time, he, Moses, was said to have men
toned some decision that would be
handed down, as proof of what he
could do.
"When this was brought to Judge
Ames' attention, he directed the Bu-
reau of Investigation to institute inn
mediate inquiry.
Moses was interrogated by William
Flynn, chief of the Bureau of 1nvesti-
CATION of the Department of Justice, in
New York.
"Moses denied to Flynn that he was
getting his information from an Off
cial in the Department of Justice as
was claimed or that the Department
of Justice official was getting it in
turn from minor attache of the Su-
preme Court. Moses admitted he had
played the markets, but denied he had
received advance information He said
he had made his deductions on the flu
ture movement of the stock as any
lawyer might have done from the gen
eral information on the Southern Pa
cific case. He denied also that there
was leak in the Supreme Court. He
claimed that as others were putting up
the money for him, he had nothing to
lose"

DON'T WHIP!
Stop Lashing Your Bowels
with Harsh CatharticS but
take "Cascarets."

Everyone must occasionally give the
bowels some regular help or else suf-
fer from constipation, bilious attacks,
stomach disorders, and sick headache.
But do not whip the bowels into ac.
tivity with harsh cathartics.
What the liver and bowels need is a
gentle and natural tonic, one that can
constantly be used without harm. The
gentlest liver and bowel tonic is Gas

In Pasquils' "Jests," a book pub
lished in 1904, an amusing story is
told of a knight who gave a Christ
mas feast at which he entertained
his friends and the tenantry.
The host ordered no man at the
table to drink drop "till he that was
master over his wife should sing a
CAROL" A pause ensued and then one
poor male, more daring than the
others, timidly lifted his lonely voice.
The knight then turned to the ladies,
who sat at a table apart, and "bade
her who was master over her hus"

that forthwith "the women fell all

DRY LAW CONSTITUTIONAL

ngtOn-Wartime prohibition is
constitutional, the Supreme Court de-
cided. Enforcement of the act must
continue until peace is proclaimed, the
court decreed The decision was a
sweeping victory for the contentious of
the prohibitionists and the government.
1t means that the millions of gallons
of intOXicantS now stored throughout
the country and valued at about ST.
OOO,OOO,OOO will be a near total loss un-
less peace is proclaimed before constl-
tutional prohibition becomes effective.
The court held that the provision of
the wartime act, stating that the. pro-
hibitiOn shall end at the conclusion of
the war can have no other legal mean
ing than the proclamation of peace.

France is exceptionally rich in
carols, which are often drinking songs
as in many European countries. We
find many French carols translated into

intercourse which existed between

Probably no Christmas would seem
complete without the weu-known and
popular hymn, "Hark! the Herald

The word carol, which originally
meant a dance, is thought to have
come into our language either from
the Norman French carole or from the
Celtic carol.
In 1922 Davies Gilbert published

In many English villages there are
