CHICAGO RING
MAKES MILLION
IN BOOZE RUNS

Chicago, III, Aug. 5.-The biggest
whiskey-running conspiracy of the
bootleg ring" according to Major A.
v. Dalrymple, was uncovered last
night with the seizure of eighty-one
cases of liquor and the arrest of six
men. Chief Clarity said the ring had
made liquor deals that had netted
them 100000. He declared an en-
ployee in the local revenue offices
was involved.
Further evidence OF police partici-
patton in booze robber1es ana Illegal
transportation Of liquor which has
existed for some time was also found.
This time it is a detective sergeant
named lynch who is being sought. -
The seizure of the eighty-one cases
was made at the Continental ware
house in the Maxwell Street police
district. Major Dalrymple estimated
that 100000 worth of whiskey had
been reported stolen in this district
during the last year. The informa-
ton that led to the raid came from
Stephen K. Healy, in charge of the
American Railway Express Com
pany's secret service.
A two7tpn truck was being loaded
with liquor. Other policemen found
Detective Frank yelling and Henry
Zadeck of Maxwell street. They said
Russell to Investigate the report that
a Waterman in the warehouse had
been bound and gagged and $50 cases
of liquor stolen.
The liquor was marked '+for Michael
Clancy" Previously $50 cases had
been shipped by the American Rail-
way Express and 200 cases had reach
ed the hands of the bootlegger. Clan
cy explained he had been robbed.
There was no authority for the trans
fer to the truck.
Joseph Katlaw, driver, Albert Lev
inson and Louis Rodich, were ar
rested. In an automobile standing by
eleven cases were found. H. A.
Byrnes and Martin Kilcummings were
arrested. They said they had brought
it up from Springfield.
Chief of Police Clarity is using his
best detective talent in uncovering
the whiskey ring activities of his own
policemen. Detective Paul Peterson.
who was arrested on the charge of as
sisting in the robbery Of his friend
Abe Nelson of $4,000 whiskey
money, has been released on bond.
Peterson had an automobile and lived
at the rate of $4,000 a year.

who in 1917 was selected for the
All-West Virginia High School foot
ball team at center and who grad
uated from high school the follow
ing sprIng Is making himself more
and more conspicuous each day as
a candidate for the West Virginia
eleven.
Tackling without any doubt is the
most important thing in football.
ANYBODY can run with the ball If
the tacklers are poor and Vernon
Bernard is rapidly gaining the dis.
tinction OF being the hardest and
most ferocious tackler in the Noun
taineer squad here. Plenty of the
candidates are bigger than Der.
nard because he only weighs 40
but he is as trim q built man as
as thera Is in the whole squad, Is
exceedingly rapid in his movements
and invariably brings down his
man when he hits him.

will have such food as the Yves
leyan management desires.
Wesleyan has made Tia Fair
mont Country club Headquarters at
two former West Virginia Univer-
sity-WeSt Virginia Wesleyan games
which were played in Fairmont.
These games were won by Wes-
leyan, tho last date being 1914
when Wesleyan won 1919. There
Is not any amount of credence
placed in the very fact that Yves.
leyan won because the eleven made
headquarters at the Country club
but there is much favorable argu-
ment In that there Is quietness
about the club and that II takes
the men away from the throngs
who are always present at the
states biggest game. This. year, es-
pecially, 1t can be expected that
the greatest assembly ever known
in the state at any athletic pro-
gram will be on hand Every hotel
lobby In the city will be filled for
hours before the game with fans
who will be making an endeavor TO
get final line on the respective
elevens.
The Wesleyan management may
well feel gratified by having
planned for the use Of the country
club. 1t was q nice piece Of hos
pitality on the part Of the club
members in offering the club to
Wesleyan for this big occasion. ].
o. Watson and others who were in
strumental In ascertnining the IA
vor have a very kindly feeling from

An appeal was made at the meet
Ing list evening to work up inter-
est in high school football In this
city and in the local high school
team. Captain George n. Alexan.
der was one OF the speakers who
urged that full support be given the
local high boys. Little definite is
known OF the material at the high
school this year but Coaches Ice
and Kahn will do their best 10
make q winning team.
Captain Alexander 10 correct in
his stand that the public should
support the high school games, for
It Is out of the high schools ard
prep schools that the colleges OF
the country recruit their football
stars. The better the high school
teams, the better the college
teams. While possibly 1t Is only
natural that the public takes moro
interest in the big college games,
yet at the same time the high
school games must be supported
and the players encouraged to put
forth their best efforts. II we can
judge the Fairmont public correct
", we feel sure that they will re
spond to the appeal to keep IN close
touch with the high school sItua-
ton and give the boys full sup
port.
