Drunkenness Increases.
Cillen Told Pussyfoot
''Wl,at Is This Rooster Driving
At?" Crusader Asked After
Heading Newark Letter

CORES spondence concerning the City
Of Newark and prohibition, to which
Pussy syfoot" johnson, Mayor Charles p.
Glllen of Newark and Samuel Wilson,
assistant superintendent of the Anti
saloon League of New Jersey were
parties, was made public yesterday
" "Pussyfoot' wrote to Mayor Gillen,
asking how prohibition was. affecting
Newark. Mayor Gillen replied that it
had caused more drunkenness, drug ad
diction and crime than had existed be-
fore. His thirst for knowledge still
unsatished, "Pussvfoot" wrote thus to
Mr.. Wilson, inclosing the Mayors let
ter: Dear Wilson: What is this
rooster driving at?"
Mr.. Wilson wrote TO Mayor Gillen
then. telling him there was not word
Of truth in his letter to Mr. Johnson
and that the only reason Newark had
consumed more than her share" Of
bonded whiskey was that she has a
Mayor, a Commissioner of Public
Safety and a police force that have not
AIted a hand to enforce the laws Of
the nation" Mr. Wilson added that if
the Mayor had told the truth some
body in high authority in the City
Hall is a subject for impeachment"

The tribes Of North America saw
the possibilities of corn and fastened
its evolution. There has been cross.
breeding by white farmers, yet, as n
matter of fact, the corn culture Of the
present day Is practically as 1t came
from the hand of the Indian. He has
adapted and modified 1t to various sec
tions Of the country by a process O,
careful selection.
Recently it occurred tn some scien-
lists that despite the drawback of the
weather the Mandan Indians of the
North were raising corn. An expedl.
tion made study of the agricultural
methods Of the Mandaps. and It deveI-
oped that for centuries the farmers of
the tribes had been developing a hardy
corn. The seed had been selected from
year to year from stalks which showed
40 effect from frost.
