British Only Laugh at Reds.

.London, Sept. 15.-If ridicule will
kill the most serious movemenr
then bolshevism, as certain radicals
attempted to apply it to London to-
day, is dead.
Taking theselves seriously, and
announcing to the whole world that
they were real, honest-to-goodness
Bolsheviki, seven hundred jobless
men, headed by a leader who was a
veritable firebrand, at least in, speech,
descended upon the local govern
ment, unemployment bureau in one
of London's northwest suburbs, Har-
lesides, and 'seized the plant"
A riot call brought a strong force
of police from the nearest station,
whereupon the "Bolsheviki" marched
away to the "bolshevist grand head
quarters"-as they are calling the res
idence nearby of an extremist.
There they jeered and booted and
defied the police to their hearts con-
tent, begging to be arrested. The
only response from the authorities
was a huge laugh and refusal by the
police to dignity the movement by
arresting any of the leaders.
The incident has given London
few minutes of excellent humor.

were instantly killed by live wire
at Lamar, Monday morning, as the
children were on their way to school.
A light wire had fallen into the
street, and while there were no eye.
witnesses to the tragedy, the sup
position is that the children came in
contact with the wire, which carried
1900 volts, while crossing the street
Both children were badly burned,
and life was extinct when they were
removed from contact with the wire.

BOOZE SUPPLY IS DW1NDL1NG
Withdrawals From Warehouse in
Eight Months Totals 1s Million
Gallons.

A Observation-Disclosures million gal
Ions of liquor have been withdrawn
since the first of the year. 1t is flow
ing out of bonded government ware
houses at the rate of million gal
Ions a month. The entire remaining
supply in the United States would DC
exhausted in two years were this to
continue. But-after the first day
OF next month the Withdrawals will
be reduced greatly, probably more
than half.
/ John F. Kramer of Mansfield, o.,
the United States prohibition COM
missioner, made those facts public
here recently.
By the simple expediens OF re-
tusing to renew permits to wholesale
liquor dealers, Mr.. Kramer intends
enormously to curtail the heavy
Withdrawals. All existing permits
are renewable October 1, and Mr..
Kramer did not hesitate to say that
thousands of them will not be re-
newed by the federal government.
Renewals can be refused withou,
showing cause. Wherever there is a
wholesaler who has aroused sus-
plcvion, even though no violation has
been proved, he will not be given a
| renewal
When asked if the reduction would
amount to so per cent of the present
licenses, he replied: I" should not
be surprised. l am convinced that
we issued far too many of them when
we were getting organized here TO
enforce national prohibition.
There were 60 million gallons IF
liquor in bonded warehouses the first
Of the year. A little more than 50
million gallons now remain" Mr..
Kramer declared.
When nationwide prohibition went
into effect owners of liquor stocks
told the federal government they
faced financial ruin. They contended
withdrawal OF liquor for medicinal
purposes would be SO slow that the
existing supply would last for twen-
ty or more years and that the loans
made them by banks on their stocks
would mature before they could mar.
ket their supplies.
1t is apparent from Mr.. Kramer's
figures that if the present rate of
Withdrawals were to continue for two
years. there would be no liquor left
i'll any of the warehouses. Now
there are between $50 and 400 OF
them throughout the United States
which have stocks of intoxicants in
varying amounts.

U. S. Judges Threatened With I'm
parchment by Antisaloon
Heads.

Washington, September 15.-A pro-
gram designed to rid" the govern
ment of officials who do not observe
or enforce the spirit as we'll as the
letter of the Volstead act" was put
under way at. the first session today
of a national conference here of Anti
salon League officials.
As the first step toward carrying
out the proposed program, the con-
ference appointed a committee to
draft a resolution which league or
ficials said would serve notice on
Federal Judges that their Sacred
duties must be sacredly performed
The committee was instructed to re-
port tomorrow. Impeachment pro-
ceedings were suggested as a means
to compel judges to employ in a
proper manner the penal provisions
of the prohibition enforcement act.
