 Taxi Driver Also "Falls."
 Then, so the story goes, the young woman meandered down the SD as i'm a i n .thoroughfare and made the acquaintance of a we'll known local taxi driver. To him she expressed the desire for "a little corn," and said she wondered where she could get some." The young woman was informed immediately, she said, that she had come to the right person, and was further assured that the taxi driver handled only the best of the product. She purchas- ed a pint from him, and then hopped into his car, intending to go to the mans home, where, she said, she had been informed that a half-gallon more of the same liquor had been stored. The trip to the mans domicile, however, was never completed, for officers who were watching the little comedy stopped the car and gathered the taxi knight into their warm embrace, and he was charged with transporting and selling liquor, placed under $500 bail, and is now wondering how long it will be before he has to relinquish his automobile.
 But that. isn't all. There recently arrived here from New Orleans one Joe. Nelson, known to many sporting edl- | tors throughout the country as

Major Keating of Government Force Sends a Beautiful Blue.Eyed Lady" to Hot Springs and What She
 Does Reads Like a
 Stirring Scenario.

mooC1ng Ol Cu0 MOuACoAiA Dew" Lodge is being con- templated to enter a protest against the action of Maj. k. B. Heating, in charge of pro- hibition enforcement officers, who, it is said, switched his play" and sent here very pretty young woman to make the acquaintance of alleged dealers in "hooch" and ascer- tain just what the local situa- tion was.
 The young woman is Mrs. Edith Katlin. Besides being pretty. Mrs. Katlin is said to possess a very charming per sonality. She had winning ways, too, and besides fulfill ing the traditional standards of secret service sleuths of the feminine gender in fiction and movie scenario, was also a most persistent seeker after facts, as her record proves.
 She hit the Spa, it is related, in the latest and most stylish gown. She looked like a fashion plate, and as she strolled up Central avenue there were many admiring glances cast in here direction. ne IS "betwix and between" being a blonde and brunette, has blue eyes, a graceful fig ure and makes a rather attrac- tive picture. She arrived a few days ago. It didn't take her long to get acquainted, either.
 As a result of the young woman's activity in the in terest of law enforcement generally, and the upholding of the Volstead Act in partic- ular, there were four new cases on the docket in United States Commissioner Martins s court yesterday.
 Her First Prey.
 Mrs. Katlin said that among her acquaintances was the pro- prietor of a well-known room ing house, to whom she ap- pealed for the purchase of liquor. The boniface was ob- liging enough, and Mrs. Kat lin charged she bought two quarts of mountain dew from the defendant. She paid him. she testified, $20, or ''ten smackers" a quart. A little later Major Heating and a band of officials moved down on the establishment where the transaction haC taken place and searched the premises. Among ot h e things discovered was a trunl that leaked. Closer exam intation showed that the party had ''struck oil," fol a rich product of some stil was flowing from the interior of the trunk, the officers said Nine half-pints and five gallon jug that was half filled with ''corn" was confscated and the proprietor arrested

OPEN OLD WELL.
CONTINUED from Page ID

Upon looking the matter up it is found
that the mortgage was not discharged
and that there are two mortgages on the
farm. Whitney was road agent for the
town OF Langdon and an order for serv-
ices amounting to Sl28 was cleverly
raised to $228 and presented to the town
treasurer, Walter H. Smith, who paid it.
The town, however, will lose nothing in
this, as Hubert A. and George A. Holmes
were bond agents for $500, and so will
have to make the deficit.
AS well as being farmer Whitney op-
Grated a mill in Acworth and it is learned
that he had drawn two weeks payroll,
estimated to be about $1,000 from the
Eharlestown bank at Charlestown, Y.
H.. and had not paid the help. Since his
sudden disappearance numerous creditors
have started proceedings for involuntary
bankruptcy. destinations are that the
liabilities aggregate between $4,000 and
$4,000 Whitney's property in Langdon
is taxed on a valuation of $4,000 so it is
supposed that the bills may be paid in
full. The creditors are firms in Bellows
Falls and Charlestown, Y. H, his house
keeper, who puts in a bill for wages
amounting to over $500, his son for an
automobile and another son for labor.
Another phase of the story is the dis
appearance of his second wife on the
night of June 80, 1916. The last ever seen
in public of this woman was at a lecture
in Alstead on that night, at which they
both were present 1t is said that she
had planned to make trip to her former
home in Ohio and had telephoned the To-
cal ticket agent here as to the price of a
ticket The story given out at the time
was that she had walked to this place
early in the morning and took a train
for Ohio.
Some time later letters came from the
Ohio home asking why she did not come
as MANNED so it is told. No reply was
made nv Whitney. and the police Of the
Ohio town took the matter up with Chief
of Police Corbin of Charlestown, \. H,
who made some investigation and later
turned the matter over to the county so
Whitney during the summer of, 1917 and
IT. is said that this visit was the first in
tiroation that Mr. Whitney had that his
wife's disappearance was being investi-
gated.

LAYS WALL STREET
EXPLOSION TO LABOR
tempting to Get Revenge on
BrindeU

NEW YORK, Nov. l2.-The New York
Evening World publishes three-page
article under the headline wall Street
Explosion Solved. in which it gives the
result OF its independent investigation of
the disaster winch took nearly twoscore
lives last Septemhel, and seeks to link
the outrage with Building Trust graft"
now Under investigation by a legislative
committee.
The Evening World maintains chat the
explos ion, instead Of being the work of
anarchists, as charged by Chief Flynn of
the department of justice, or The Third
international, as charged by private in
vestIgatprs, was really a plot of labor
men or labor sympathiZers, directed in re
Nenge against Robert +. Brindell, presi-
dent of the Building Trades council,
against Brindell workers who were tear
ing down the stock exchange building an
mex at Broad and Wall street, and
against contractors hiring Brindell men.
Naming a union, and pointing out that
Brindell had many enemies in labor
ranks the Evening World says:
The Evening World here presents
proof that l,,8O0 men, nearly all foreign
born, sober, Industrious, efficient and
well-disciplned, have within a space of
IS months been subjected to an amazing
conspiracy of greed and injustice and the
explosion was the elimination of this
tyranny.
The Evening World does not charge
the union, as a union, with responsibility
1t was work Of individuals, possibly in
side the union, possibly the work of syEl-
pathiZers.'

LAW INVOKED AGAINST CAPITAL
Manufacturers Must Get Permission of
Court to Lay OF Help.

TOPEKA, Kans., Nov. 12.-Invoking
for the first time the power of the Kansas
court of industrial relations TO prevent
capital from stopping production, Judge
George II. Wark announced yesterday he
would sign an order citing Topeka millers
to show cause for laying off workers and
restricting operations. The court received
several reports that the Topeka Touring
mills had laid off men and had practically
stopped work. None of the men filed
formal complaints, however.
One miller said that Is men had been
laid off. Two others said that no men
had been laid off, except on account of
engine trouble and that they would re-
sumo full operations One manager said
that he might be forced to lay off men il
present market conditions continued.
THE law does not mean that the mills
have to go on grinding flour whether
there is any market or not said Fred
s. Jackson, attorney for the court, in ex-
planning the scope of the law. But the
law does say that there must not be any
limitation of production of foodstuffs I'M
less the millers ask the permission eff the
court and show why it is necessary. If
they fail to show a good reason the next
step for us to take is to bring a mandamus
suit in the supreme court TO compel them
to resume"
