PRO. ENFORCEMENT TO
COST SSS, 5000 A YEAR
CouRressman Galligan Says stills Are
Greatly On Increase And That The
Cost OF Enforcement Will be-
come steadily Greater.

CONGRESSMAN Gs1ligan (Dem) OF
Massachusetts, declared on the floor
of the House of Representatives tins
week that the enforcement OF consti-
tutional prohibition in the United States
will cost the Government $SS,00p'''
every year.
There are more Illicit stills now than
before prohibition became effective, he
SAYS, and this situation is becoming
worse in the fact that the number IL
steadily increasing and that 1t would
require veritable army of enforcement
officers to seek out and arrest even Il
large part of them.
He says that in the year 1918. there
were zoos stills found in the State OF
Georgia alone and even in Nebraska
the home of Grape Juice Billy, there
were twenty-six located and broken up.
He hinted that in his opinion the
public has no sympathy with the en-.
forcement Of national prohibition and
that the patrons of the bootlegger and
the blind tiger are the otherwise IN
fluential citizens of the country.
Control of Congress and the pre|i-
dental election may be decided by the
| the prohibition question. he believes
and prohibition can no more be kept ou'
of politics than the ocean can bo;sWep

DALLAS JAIL HAUNTED
BY "GHOST" OF NEGRO
Negro Prisoners TerrOrized by Nightly
appearance OF Negro Lynched
several YeRrs Ago.

The "ghost of Allen Brooks" has so
terrorized the negro prisoners in the
city Jail at Dallas, Texas that the keep
er has converted one section of the
prison house into a storeroom. That's
the story OF jailers. who declare that
in the last few weeks half score
of negro prisoners have been driven
almost crazy by the ghost of Brooks
These negroes were confined in that
section of the city Jail from which
Allen Brooks was taken by mob
years ago, thrown from the building
and then hanged to what was called
Elks' arch.
1t was years ago that Brooks was
placed in the city over night. While
he was covering in one corner some
dozen citizens broke the doors down,
tore the negro from the cell, threw
him from the window to the mob watt
ing below. While being dragged from
the cell Brooks pleaded for his life
and prayed. These pleadings the negro
prisoners declare they hear nightly in
the Jail.
One of the prisoners told the Jail
ers. after screams had aroused them
on the floor below. that Allen Brooks
with "A rope around his neck and his
head hanging limp to one side. walks
about in the cell at night. He always

Issue OF sIS0.0'm Is Carried With Hut
TWenty-One Dissenting Votes. Over
Twcnty-One Hundred People
Voted For The Issue.

1t hegins to look as though these
southeastern Oklahoma counties are
endeavoring to see how few votes there
are opposed to the building Of hard
surfaced roads
Johnston county, Bryan's ueighbor
on the northwest held an election on
Monday of this week, and when the
votes were all in and counted it was
found that 2,li9 people had voted for
the bonds and that only II votes had
been polled against the issue
Like other counties in this part of
the State, the election was held to vote
bonds To he used in connection with
Federal aid. which it is expected, will
he received in the construction Of hard
surfaced roads over that county.
This makes one more county ON the
Bankhead National Highway to vot,
bonds for roads, and this fact makes
II doubly certain that that highway will
actually be constructed through thl.
part of Oklahoma.
