rants are out for twenty or more persons
and further arrests are expected.
These arrests are believed to be the
spearhead of a drive against a gigantic
crime ring who have been operating with
headquarters in Winnipeg for the last
year. 1t may involve a score of higher
ups who are said to be responsible for
rum and drug running between the
prairie provinces and the United States
which have amounted to hundreds of
thousands Of dollars every month.
The men arrested are NJ. l.. McPhail,
former chief temperance officer for VIM
nipeg; Joseph Beaudry, former employee
under McPhail, and Sam Steinberg.
They were charged with attempting TO
bribe police officers and were admitted
to $40, 900 bail each. The immediate
charge for which McPhail, Beaudry and
Steinberg We're arrested concerns an al
legged attempt to "fix" liquor checker
so that $4,000 cases of liquor might en-
ter the province without knowledge of
the heads of the law enforcement depart
ment. The liquor was destined for points
in North Dakota and Minnesota. Col
Rattray, Commissioner of the Provincial
Police, said.

Special Despatch to THE NEW york HEaA
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 4.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YoEK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. g.. Dec. I.
The unanimous opinion Of numerous
Representatives in Congress interviewed
to-day by THE New YoFx HERALD was
that the proposed blue Sunday and other
reform measures have no chance Of be-
ing passed by Congress. Many OF the
Senators and Representatives said they
considered the whole programme joke
and that it has not been taken seriously
enough in the past to merit comment.
Passage Of the measures is considered
such a ridiculous impossibillty by many
of the members that they declined to
make any statement along this line, be-
lieving that any comment might create
the impression that they We're taking
the movement seriously.
Virtually all members interviewed
have just returned from their districts.
and they said they noticed no demand
for the passage of the extreme measures
among thir constituents. The general
comment was that there was no reason
at all for giving the professional re-
formers so much publicity and creating
the Impression that some action might
be taken by Congress.
No one could be found in either
branch of Congress who intends to make
an aggressive fight for the passage of
any of the measures, and chairmen of
the committees that would consider the
proposed bills have received no requests
for hearings.
No Chance, Says Clark.
Representative Champ Clark, Demo-
cratic leader, who has been In Congress
nearly twenty-six years, was asked
about the chances for the reform legis-
lation:
1T hasn't got chance, as every one
knows, or ought to know" he replied.
II am certain that no action will be
taken on the extreme measures proposed

A MILLION JEWS THREAT
ENED WITH STARVA-

New York.-The last cable re-
ceived by the Joint Distribution
Committee from DR.. Bogen, it's
head representative in Poland, is
to the following effect:
"Spivack and Voorsanger have
returned from Kiev where they
have organized the first measures
of relief. They are greatly stirred
by the awful situation. The
Jewish population is gradually
dying off from starvation. The
provisions at present available
can last no more than ten days.
The sum of three hundred thou
sand dollars is imperative. The
Jewish population of the newly
occupied territory is over mil
lion and these are all starving.
For Gods sake, cable money i'm
mediately."
The Joint Distribution Com
mittee accordingly cabled three
hundred thousand dollars. DR..

of European relief distribution,
has cabled the J. D. C. that he
has received a most excellent re-
port regarding the work of dis

FURTHER SHOCKING DE
TAILS OF HUNGARIAN
TERROR.

London.-The official report of
the British Socialist Commission
which investigated the Hungarian
White Terror blames the Off
cial English representatives for
their attempt to minimize the
seriousness Of the condition. The
'Daily Herald" commenting on
this part of the report calls upon
the English government to i'm
mediately recall its Hungarian
representatives. Further details
of atrocities are made public and
these are of the most shocking
nature. In one instance the re-
port says Mrs. Hamburger of
Budapest was suspected of being
in sympathy with the Commun-
lists. She was arrested and after
being subjected to all manner of
indignities, was stripped naked
and savagely whipped. In anoth-
er case a woman was forced to
sit naked on heated stove. Two
Jewish girls from the city of Put
mock were starved because they
rejected the advances of their
jailer. Both were subsequently
violated.
