 Wood Alcohol Sellers
New York Man Arrested Gives Inside Stoy of Distribution of Deadly
 Holiday Booze.

New York, Dec. 31.-One of the biggest roundups of bootleggers and manufacturers of illicit liquor ever made in this country is impending as result of the wave of deaths and blindness which has followed the sale of poisoned liquor, Daniel l.. Porter, supervising revenue agent for the New York district, announced this week.
 These men, an undertaken, a drug gist and liquor dealer, face charges before a United States commissioner here in connection with the spread ing of wood alcohol as whisky through five states in the last 10 days, deaths and blindness following in it's wake.
 The men arrested in the initial roundup by Daniel I. Porter, super vising revenue agent here, and H. B. Dobbs, a federal agent, are:
 John Romanelli, Brooklyn un- .dertaker.
 Samuel K. Saleeby, a Brooklyn druggist.
 Adolph Panarelli, Manhattan wine and liquor dealer.
 Romanelli, according to Dobbs, is the "kin. pin" in the wood alcohol traffic. Panarelli, who, according to the federal agents, made a clean breast of his part in handling the beverage, said when arrested:
 rI
 'I am glad you got me. l will tell all I know, but for Gods sake don't send me to Connecticut. don't want to be lynched. My name has been published in all the papers and it would mean certain death
 According to Dobbs, Paranelli, in exclamation, said that he had been approached by man named Sols- burg of Hartford, Conn.,, friend of his, to procure some Christmas i'booze." Paranelli then got into communication with Romanelli Dobbs said, and finally Saleeby, the druggist.

CalIed Wifey "Kid';
 Black Eye; Fined SIO

New York, Dec. 31.-A word of advice: Don't call your wife "Kid' if you chance to meet her on the street. A friend of ours did and is out $10 and has one beautiful black eye. We shan't use his name for he's a regular fellow, and any how, what's the use?
 It happened on Broadway. Friend wife had been downtown shopping and hubby was on his way to the ,"sub" to mingle in the jam en route to his home. Passing the corner he bumped into young woman. Tax ing second look he recognized "the missus."
 "Oh, hello, Kid" exclaimed our friend, at the same time taking hold of wife's arm.
 "Bangw hard fist landed in hub by's right eye and he did a somer- sault on the sidewalk. A nearby cop per rushed to the scene and upon the word of the projector of the fist ar rested the innocent fellow, this de- spite the wife's protestations.
 At the hearing this morning our friend was justly indignant. Il spoke to my wife and this fellow hit me-" pointing to the man of the fist.
 "Yes, he did" contributed the wife; "he hit him hard; he knocked him down."
 What did you say when you met your wife?" asked the court.
 'I haid, Oh, hello, kid
 And this man. "-pointing to the stranger-''hit you once in the eye?"
 "Yes, he did, your honor"
 "Well." replied the judge, "he was right. He didn't know you were not masher.. You're lucky he didn't hit you several times. And you're lucky Pm in good humor this morning or I'd fine you $50 instead of the SlO Pm going to ask you to pay into the city treasury"
 Our friend didn't say word-he didn't like the look in the courts eye, so he beat it without even wait ing for Friend Wife to accompany him.

 Mr. Porter declared that the man. utacture and sale of whisky from non-beverage and poisonous alcohol since prohibition became effective has constituted the greatest "get- rich-quick" scheme that the internal revenue department has ever had to cope with. The selling of fake oil and mining stocks and paste dia- monds was mild in comparison with the money made from illegal nfanu- facture of liquor, he said.
