Senator Calder Misinformed

Emphatic denial that employees of
the Federal Liquor Permit Bureau here
have in any way been responsible for
wholesale forgeries of permits to with
draw liquor from government bonded
warehouses was made yesterday by
Charles R. O'Connor, director OF pro-
hibition enforcement in New York
State
Published accounts to the effect that
much of the illegal usage of the per-
mits had been due to those on the
"Nnslde" and a statement by Senator
Calder in Washington that Mr. O'Con-
nor must have had knowledge of the
Illegal Withdrawals, or "else he should
be removed from the job were the
subject of indignant comment from Mr..
O'Connor.
To refute criticisms of the work &C
complished by the prohibition enforce
ment agents in the state, Mr.. O'Connor
declared that with a very limited num-
Der of inspectors and Office workers his
office had greatly reduced the number
Of forged permits in the last month
and that twenty-five or thirty so-called
reputable dealers in non-beverage al
cohol here had been put out of business
FOR misuse Of permits.
a total of 1890 permits to prescribe,
make, use or withdraw non beverage
alcohol bureau have been issued since
January 10 by the local bulcau and
internal revenue commissioners Who
originally had in charge the issuanc
Of these permits. Mr.. O'Connor a.;
serted. He added that at the present
time there are 5000 permits held up
for investigation

kinds issued, 1000, known as "H' per

titIng them to use six quarts year in
their practice. To physicians pre-
scribing liquor 3o9l permits were
issued: to export concerns, 1872, and to
importers, AZ.
In denying that any Of the employees
of the permit bureau had been dis
charged becaues Of suspicion of dclb-
erateiY aiding in the illegal t.affic, the
Commissioner said:
There is no inside job going on
here. Our Office and books are open
to the public, and there is absolutely
nothing hidden. We have no quarrel

nave no reason to make apologies to

By Constance Drexel

PARIS, June 81 crossed the Place
de la Concorde to-day and went over
the Seine to the Chamber of Deputies
to meet Justin Godart. who has been
appointed by the French government as
official representative at the congress
of the international Woman Suffrage
Alliance in Geneva, which begins Sun

lament 1t was filled with anxious
constituents who had sent in their
names by the black and red liveriod
footmen and were waiting for their
representatives to come out.
NJ Godart was not long in answer
ing the call. He is short and stocky,
with gray hair brushed pompadour and
tortoisesholl trimmed glasses, which lie
must have annexed in America.
Us it not strange the French gov
eminent should have asked a man
rather than woman to be its repre-
sentative to woman's congress-" |
asked him.
"But no. he replied. eve have no
women whatever in politics in France,
and the selection of a member of the
Chamber proves the Importance Of the
congress in Premier Millerand's mind
Be certain that this is an appointment
by the Premier"
Millerand Favors Suffrage
Us NJ. Millerand in favor of woman
suffrage for France" l asked. 1t is
widely known that Clcmenceau, as
Premier, was not.
Yes replied NJ. Godart. "The IN
clnation Of the present government is
for giving the women of France the
vote. We feel that though many do
not want it the country would be
helped thercby'
Asked what his principal message at
the congress would be, NJ. Godart said
he would present the best wishes of the
French government, and that his main
message would be the need of women
help to form powerful organization
OF the society Of nations to prevent
wars.
Women know only too WE'LL" he said,
tine abOminable catastrophe of war.
They suffer more even than the men
am certain we can count on them TO
help us build society OF nations, but
they can be of little help unless they
have the right to vote. | do not think
that women will follow political fac
tions very closely or ta,a part in re-
versals Of cabinets
Il believe, however, that womcn's in
flucnee always Will be for peace and
against war. Had we had their partici-
patton in European politics heretofore
It is almost safe to say the abominablc
catastrophe of the great war would
have been avertcd."
He will start for Geneva in time to
speak at the opening meeting next Sun
day and will remain throughout the
congress.
N. Godart said the French woman
suffrage bill. which passed the Cham
Der Of DEPUTIES u year ago, would soon
come up in the Senate, and it was
hoped the influence of tho Geneva con
gross would help its passage.

Baruch Demands
Mason Take Steps
To Prove Charges
Asks To BE Brought Before
Bar Of Justice; Illinois
Representative Says He
Will Act After March

WASHINGTON, June 2. B. NJ.
Baluch, former chairman of the Wan
Industries Board, wrote to Representa-
tive Mason, Republican, Illinois, too day
asking that he submit at once to Con
gress and the Attorney General the
evidence which prompted him to charge
in the House recently that Mr.. Baruch
had "stolen s550O00,0OO from the gov
eminent in copper alone
Mr.. Baruch further demanded that
he be Immediately brought to the bar
of justice and condemned to punish
! ment if found guilty and exonerated if
innocent from the infamous and ma
licious charge you make against me-"
Answers Demand
Mr.. Mason, in letter of reply made
public tonight, said that since looking
over his previous statement he would
amend it to say that "you and your as
alone" He added that the matter on
which he based his charges already
was bero-, Congress in connection with
the il ~ - cation Of war expenditures.
"You certainly do not expect ne to
present this matter to your particular
friend. Mr.. Palmer, Attorney General
Mr.. Mason said, and added: Il shall il
live, ask he Aorney General of he
United States after March 4, 1921 to
proceed civilly and criminally against
you and your associates"
Declaring that Mr.. Baruch when head
of the War Industries Board had APP
pointed cooperative committee on
copper with John D. Ryan. of Nov
, York, as chairman, and presidents and
owners Of copper producing plants IN
the United States as members, Nj.
Mason charged that this committee had
allowed copper producers to buy at
one price and sell at another. lie also
charged that this committee after the
war permitted 100, 100000 pounds of
copper which the government, he said
purchased at % cents d pound. TO be
sold back to the producers at 10 cents
pound.
Baruch Points Out Two Courses
In addition to writing to Mr. Mason,
Mr.. Baruch wrote to Representative
Garrett, Democrat, Tennessee and Rep
resentative Hudspeth, Democrat, Texas
In his letter to Mr. Garrett he asked
the Tennessee member "to demand Ct
Mr.. Mason that, as he made that state
ment under the protection the Consti-
tuition gives COMPRESS. he should do
either one Of two things: He must use
his utmost ability, both as a member
of the Congress and as a private ct-
zen, to see that | am prosecuted to the
limit of the law if he be right and, If
he be wrong, he must make an apology
as full as was his charge. 1t is about
time that these Borgia-like assassins
Of character cease their work or accept
the responsibility of their actions
In his letter to Mr. Hudspcth MI
Baruch said that he hoped Through the
activities OF you and those Of your col
leagues, regardless of their political
faith, who believe in fair play, to be
afforded the opportunity of branding
the charge as a vicious and deliberate
lie in its every respect"

QUEER CUSTOMS OF EsKlMos
Abiding Faith in Odd Beliefs Not In
frequently Works to Their Seri-
Gus Disadvantage.

Superstition is still a silent monarch
among the Eskimos. When the men
are away after sea animals the women
are not permitted to work on the skins
Of land animals; and when the men
hunt caribou the women must not
touch the skins of sea animals. Men
must not work on iron until three days
after the polar bear has been hunted.
The first seal killed in days hunt
ing is brought into the igloo through
Il special hole cut into the ice walls,
and the eyes are punched out before
it is dragged in the room to prevent
its soul seeing the interior, which
would bring bad luck.
When the whale-hunting season
opens the EskimOs have dance fest
that lasts for week; and while the
Angakook. or medicine man, Is demon
strating his ability and arranging de-
fails the ice breaks sometimes and the
whales get out into the sea, leaving
the celebrating Eskimos without even
one catch.
Stefansson, who spent many years
among the Eskimos. says they pick
up Christianity quickly. because it for
bids so many things, and they marvel
at Sunday day set aside for rest
of which they never dreamed.

A heavy head of hair indicates few

gathered from many parts of the
world. The Turks claim that women
With short intellect have long hair.

Long hair, little brains" Other CON
tributors say chat much hair indicates
ungovernable temper and inclination
TO melancholy. IF a girl has a great

Curly hair is a sign of a scold. and
also early widowhood If the hair falls
in little curls at the back of tie neck.
A long and peaceful life is promised

WORKS WITHOUT A BATTERY
Ingenious Flashlioht Evolved by thu
Germans During the Closing
Days of the War.

When the Germans could get no
more batteries for pocket flashlights
hey invented a flashllght that needed
10 battery, and this was used extern
;iyely Big officers in the army in the
asst year of the war. \ few of these
ingenious things reached New York
recently as samples. a manufacturer
lesiring to know whether there would'
be sale for them in America.
Instead of battery to supply the
electric current to the lamp. there is n
dynamo. This is set in motion by pull
ing chord which, through train OF
cog-Wheels and a coiled handspring,
starts an armature spinning between
six coils, thus producing the electric
current that serves the lamp. Each
downward pull of the cord produces
enough electricity for five seconds.

Bessie, the kinkaiou, at the zoo. is
the wonder of the inmates CT the small

know that she has been giving mat

animal and should pass the day in

She is very much attached 70 her
