UKRA|N|AN REBELS
ARM AGAINST REDS

WARSAW Violent demonstrations
against the Bolsheviki have taken place
all through Western Ukra1---. Bands
of insurgents have begun systematic
attempts to drive the reds out of the
country. These insurgents recognize
Petlura as their authority, though
many OF them are out OF CommunlCa-
ton with him and are obliged to OPP
crate independently, In the depart
ments of Kherson and Ekaterinoslav,
no less than 80, 900 of them have taken
up arms, At public gatherings, flags
and signs are displayed bearing the
inscription: Fight Until Death for
Ukraine's Independence" The insur-
gents are in complete control in the
enCountering communist troops in the
~neighborhood of Kazyatyn. There has
been an uprising of railway employees in
Ihmerinka. In kiev. companies of
BolIhevik troops have reballed and
their arms have been tagen away by
red commanders.
Outside of the cities. the feeling is
quite as intense. The farmers refuse
to give the Bolsheviki corn or fodder,
and repel all their efforts to fraternlze
with them. In the vicinity of Zhmerin-
ka, Birzula and Dybnitza, Ukrainian
troops have formed with the Poles a
defensive front against the commun-
lists. Local garrisons continue to hold
Mohilev, Bar and Jampol.
The Ckrainian leaders regard these
popular manifestations as very signifi-
cant. Mazeppa, premier of the Tx
rainian peoples republic, recently re-
peated his declaration that the only
terms upon which Ukraine viii treat
with the Bolsheviki are their absolute
and unqualified recognition OF her in
dependence.

Mr.. Harrison has been p resident Of Memphis for the past II years,
during all of which period he prachced his profession rs a consulting
engineer, his practice covering the entire South and Middle West.
He was elected general superintendent of the Memphis Artesan
Water department last December, without solicitation on his part. In
fact, although he has held many positions of the greatest responsibility,
he never applied personally for any such position, but was named solely
upon his professional record,
One such anpointment came TO him, for example in 1903, when
he was appointed by the United States attorney-general, Mr.. Griggs,
as his personal representative in the construction of the great federal
prison at Atlanta.
He constructed the 100000 Atlanta Terminal company, planned
owing to a disagreement among the roads concerned; served from 1898
to 1903 a. special engineer connected with the executive offices of the
Southern railway. Before that time he had been chief engineer or as
sistant engineer of some of the largest Southern railway systems.
Mr.. Harrison is a native of Virginia, having been born in Richmond,
where he attended school and college, afterward receiving his degree
from the University of Virginia.

MOONSH|NE TRAIL
-
Deputy Sheriff Loses Life in
Raid in West Vir-
ginia.

CHARLESTON. ". Va.-The manu-
facture and sale of moonshine whisky
In the mountains Of Southern West Vir-
ginia is claiming the close attention of
W. =. Hallanan, prohibition commits
sioner, who, with n large force of depu-
ties, continues to raid and arrest almost
weekly.
There have been times in the last few
weeks when the officers have met de-
termined resistance, and already two
men, Preston Mullens, an alleged moon
sinner. and John ID. Kennedy, a deputy
sheriff, have lost their lives in the
campaign.
This fight, the most serious in recent
years, occurred in the Panther Creek
section Of Mcdowell county, on the
virginia border. Panther Creek, the
prohibition authorities say, is one of
the most active moonshining districts
IN the state. There, according to Hal
lanan, have been gathered some of the
most famous manufacturers of moon
shine from Buchanan county, Virginia.
They know all that is to be known
about the industry, and some of them
are famed for the qualities of their
corn liquor" Usually their stills are
extremely difficult to locate, but grad
ually the prohibition officers are hunt
ing them out and destroying them.
There is another kind of moonshiner
In tina section who is giving the officers
much trouble. He makes his m~oonshine
as quickly as possible, markets it with
the least delay, and then moves his still
To some other place.
The country is mountainous and
rough, with many fertile valleys. These
valleys, the commissioner has discov-
cred, were this year, used to a large ex-
tent for the growing Of sugar cane. the
high price of sugar having driven some
OF the old-tine moonshiners to prOduc-
ing what they needed for domestic and
moonshine purposes.
