OF the Cox managers. the attitude
Of the Democratic party on prohi-
bition has come to the fore today
as an interesting and debatable
question.
In this fight it is predicted that
Mr.. Bryan and his followers will
succeed. More than 400 dele
gates are know to be opposed to
the democratic party's favoring a
wet plank and for unqualified sup
port of the Nolstead act
One Of the more forceful lead
crs observed today that the de
mand for liberalization Of the
prohibition act did mot exist out
side OF the Coast States and Ohio
and Illinois. He said that there
were many delegates. even among
the New York contingent. who
would not vote declaration ia
voring increasing the alcoholic
content definition in the Nolstead
act. i."- ..
Leaders who want to see light
wines and beer legalized admit
that prohibition is not ready for d
fight to modify the enforcement
law. They expect to group vot-
ing for members of Congress
which will bring about election OF
members favoring a modification
of the Volstead act. but are I'M
willing to put the Democratic
party on record as against the
present prohibition law.

SUFFICIENT LOOT
TO STOCK UP STORES
Taken From Southern Railway
and Wholesale Arrests Are
Expected At Any Time

While the operators are reticent
regarding the developments in un-
earthing the gang Of thieves who
have been operating on the Southern
railway, looting cars by the whole
sale, it is known that the value of
the merchandise taken at times was
almost enough to stock up a small
store.
In some Instances, it is said there
is evidence of a well organized gang.
and members are believed to have
worked together and in such secret
and methodical manner that the de-
tectives, who suspected its operations
soIne time ago, had great difficulty
in getting at the head of the gang
Local officials have had their attention
called to the thieving and a numbe7
of railway detectives have been in this
city for some time, but it is not be
lieved there is any connection with
the case here.
1t has been almost impossible to
believe that the wholesale robbing of
freight cars could take place along
the railroad in so many different
places and the men doing the work
get away with it, but, as stated, the
officers have worked slow in order to
secure absolute evidence against the
guilty parties and to not arrest inno-
cent persons. Further developments
are expected and will be reported
from time to time.
After the start has been Mas, it
is expected that wholesale arrests
will be made, and it is limited that
some men holding lucrative positions
are suspected of being implicated.

SALVATION ARMY
DRIVE IN PROGRESS

While the Salvation Army. in
the Second Home Service appeal.
is getting fairly started, there is
a liberal response being met by
the solicitors and it is believed
the drive will terminate success
fully, since there is a great deal
of work yet to be done and this
will be continued increasingly un-
til the task is finished.
Miss Sylvan Swartzel and 9TH
er workers, are reporting success
where they have gone into the
field personally, and the corps OF
Richmond workers is giving a
good account Of itself. The work
will not be completed here for
some time, owing to the fact that
there is a wide field and consider
able time will be required to COW
er it thoroughly.
An interesting incident was re-
ported by Miss Swartzel occur
ring at the church, and after the
first meeting was held, when a
woman found silver dime on the
floor. Picking it up, the coin was
proffered the Salvation Army
worker. with the injunction that
it be used to start the fund This
was done. since it has been highly
valued, and will lead the list oI
contributions from Richmond, II
is, perhaps, the first time in his
tory that like subscription has
been received in a drive, however
it has never been given nor re
ceived with more pleasure anC
sincerity.
The forces of the Army and city
are being united and the work O
realizing the fund allotted is be

four ARRESTS IN
RAISED BILL CASE
Quartet of Berea Men Released
On Bond-Other Arrests Are
Expected Soon

The united efforts Of officers Of
Madison county after d diligent
search, resulting from miscc1Ian-
eOuS distribution of raised one
dollar bills, has terminated in the
taking into custody Of four men
1t Berea, all Of whom waived
preliminary examination and gave
bond for their appearance later.
They arc Taylor Lawles, Robt.
and George Withers, and Willie
Hayes, all of Berea. The first
three were apprehended by Off
GERS i'll the vicinity of Berea, after
a close investigations had been
made of their movements, ex-
tending over period of several
days, They were taken into Gus
tody and then before Squire Wal
ter Engle, who presented the
charge Of unlawfully raising the
denomination of United States
money. No pleas were taken and
no evidence submitted. Young
Hayes, who was arrested through
the efforts Of the police depart
ment at Bcrca, did not enter
plea when taken before Judge w.
J. Tatum. Of the Berea police
court, and was also placed under
bond. This was placed at $500,
while that Of the three men in the
court of Squire Engle was $3.50.
A number Of additional arrests
are expected soon, since the op-
erations of the officials is becom-
ing very extensive, it being claim
ed that many of the raised bills
were passed. Mr.. G.. w. Pickles,
Richmond business man, was
mulcted out of several dollars
through the presenting of bill
of the one dollar denmoination,
which had been raised to a ten.
The man presenting the bill had
little repair work done at Mr..
Pickels' store and received the re-
mainder in change. The Rich
mond merchant believes he would
recognize the man who presented
tie bill to him.
This bill, like one passed at Be-
rea. was raised to the same de-
nomination, and reports have it
that there are a number of bills
of the kind successfully passed in
other parts Of this and other
counties.
County Attorney o. P. Jackson,
Of Madison county, who has been
at work on the case for some time
is at Berea today, and it is be-
lieved additional developments
will be Forthcoming soon. This
lis the first time for many years
that this character OF counterfeit
ing has been much in evidence
here, and the first time to be at
tributed, it is said, to local talent.
None of the men under arrest,
it claimed, will make any state
ment regarding the author of the
work, if they know. The date
for their hearing as not been set,
however, and it is expected that
all will be investigated by the
grand jury at its next regular
term
