Under date of Monday, December
20, 1920, the Vineland Evening Journal
ben Ladd's paper published the fol-
lowing. Vineland vas Mayor Hendee's
home town. He seems very proud to
know his friends up there have not
lost con tidence In him:
civilian e. Hendee. Mayor of Wild
wood, is the first man of the land in
that bailiwick. Some months ago the
people elected him mayor against the
will of some Of the politicians, 1t is said
and Immediately a fight vas made to
curtail the powers Of the chief official.
They ousted the mayors clerk and
took the police department out of his
hands, claiming that it belonged in the
department of revenue and finance.
Things went on for a few weeks aud
then stories affecting themayor's stand
ing were circulated. His Honor made
short work of these by instituting suit
and proved to the satisfaction of the
great majority Of all that he was being
lied about. He also carried the matter
concerning the police to the supreme
court and his enemies began to see
light.
They got together and allowed the
mayors clerk to serve and now the
court has ordered hal the
mayor have charge Of the police de-
partment.

il is probable the commissioners mean
that Mr.. Boyer shall have two and
one-half per cent. on the total sum in

2 800 extra, and the cement floor $3.50
extra, as previously mentioned.
Louis Ssgel, Wildwood's leading
candy manufacturer, was present at
Tuesdays seance. Mayor Hendee
said: "Mr. Sagel, have you anything
10 bring before the commissioners ?'
He replied: "No! L just came in to
LOOK at the commissioners" This
caused a ripple Of laughter to echo
through the chamber.
1t was announced before adjourn
ment that an informal meeting Of the
commissioners would be held on We'd
nesday, December 22d, to consider
budget appropriations in connection

NOkOmiS Council CeIe-
brateS

Tuesday night, December 14th, was
a red letter occasion for the members
of Nokomis Council, No. 81, Degree of
Pocahontas, of the Improved Order of
Red Men, when the seventeenth ami
versary of the organization of this body
was celebrated on the third floor Of the
Third ward fire house, where their
regular meetings are held. Nokomis
Council has a membership now of over
one hundred. An invitation had been
extended to Silver Arrow Council, of
Cape May Court House, to be the guest
Of honor. Silver Arrow sent a solid
delegation of twenty-five members.
One of the leading features OF the cele-
brstion was a minstrel performance, In
which seven persons took part: George
Morrison, Charles Foulk, of Cape May;
Misses Marie Holmes, Ida Kloo, Edna
Kloo, Myrtle Kloo, and Mrs. Mabel
Holmes. The minstrel act was staged
under direction of Miss Maud Holmes.
A funny sketch, "Courtship Under
Difficulties, " also helped to enliven the
entertainment. Ida Kloo impersonated
the fair charmer in this skit and Marie
Holmes and Myrtle Kloo were dressed
in male attire to impersonate the rivals
for the hand of the heroine Of the piece.
After all the fuu was over and all the
necessary business transacted, an elab-
crate supper was INDUCED in by the
members and invited guests, number
ing about $50. The whole affair was
quite a success, and the seventeenth
anniversary celebration was pronounced
the best of all the series since the in-
ception of the order.

Elligott is collector Of the Sd
District, with Offices in Broadway, at
Twenty-eighth Street, and Bertram
Gardner is collector of the LIST Dis
trict, which includes all of Brooklyn.
Roscoe Irwin, collector Of the
4th District, has his Offices in
Albany, and his territory extends
down to the Bronx and into the re-
sion in which Colonel Porter is
charged With the enforcing Of rev.
enue payments, the prevention of IL
licit traffic in narcotic drugs, and,
quite incidentally, prohibition. Colo
mel Porter has eight hundred per-
sons, including stenographers and
clerks and telephone operators, to
help him.
Everything might have been easy
with just an occasional still to raid
by way Of variety, except that those
four collectors, innocently enough,
New-York tribune., 1920-01-11

issued about 5000 permits for the
handling of non-beverage alcohol.
Some Of the 5000 were to legitimate
manufacturers, but, sadly enough,
the majority of them were not.
The most important task confront
ing Colonel Porter's office just now
is to investigate the business of each
holder Of such a permit, and, unless
he proves himself honest, to revoke
the permit and set in motion the
legal machinery to punish him for
robbing the government. Thousands
Of permits are to be revoked and
the holders prosecuted.
A few Of the permits already have
been ordered revoked, but when
all of the illegal holders of them
have been brought to book New
York will be as dry as ever it is 60
ing to be. The few that have been
trapped were altogether too crude.

Strikes in Hawaii

wages.

Japanese labor delegate to the recent
international labor conference at
Washington, u. Masumoto, when he
should reach Hawaii on his way

6. To solicit the assistance of Japa-
nese residents in Honolulu.
7. To prepare for an emergency
fund to be raised by Japanese resi-
dents in the islands.
8. To find out whereby the labor
ers, in case of an emergency, can be
given prompt employment elsewhere
in the islands.
Meanwhile delegates of the Fill
pino laborers held a meeting and
decided on a strike by unanimous
vote, the walkout to begin Decem-
Der 20. Pablo Manlapit, the presi-
dent Of the Filipino Labor Union Of
Hawaii, sent wireless messages to
Secretary Wilson and Mr.. Gompers,
asking for their financial and moral
assistance. Manlapit was authorized
to confer with the Japanese leaders
on the question of calling joint
strike of both .Filipinos and Japa-
nese workers, who number about
10000 on the Island of Oahu alone.
On December 16 Manlapit an
nounced that the date set for the
strike would be postponed for some
time. Measures, however, continued
to be taken to prepare for an
emergency. Delegates were sent
to the different islands to raise
funds, while the Japanese prepared
for their general labor convention.
S. Masuda, principal Of. one of the
chief Japanese schools in Honolulu,
resigned his position to become Sec
retary Of the Japanese Labor Fed
Grafton.
Japanese sentiment, as repre-
sented by the "Jiji," was still in
favor of arbitration. The Japanese
paper, pointing out that both Jap
anese and American business men
would suffer from a strike, urged
the Japanese Chamber Of Commerce
to seek the cooperation Of the
American Chamber of Commerce
at Honolulu in an attempt to per-
suade the planters to reconsider
their refusal.

for an ending Of
the sugar shortage, or de-
n cline of the soaring price Of


the sugar shortage, or a de-
~ cline of the soaring price Of
sugar, are not frightened by
the news from the Hawaiian Islands,
where the Filipino and Japanese
laborers on the sugar plantations
have joined in the demand for
shorter hours, higher wages and
better conditions.
The present minimum wage for
Japanese and Filipinos is II cents
day, with bonus of SO per cent
for men who work more than twenty
days and women who work more
than fifteen This, according to the
Japanese organ, "Nippu Jill" is the
pre-war scale of wages, and nothing
has been done to Offset the higher
prices of the last few years; in fact,
the bonus percentage was reduced
20 per cent during the war, but the
-laborers submitted. Early in De-
cember the laborers made demands
for a new minimum wage of
$l.25 a day, with a reduction of
FIVE days in the number necessary to
get the bonus. This, however, was
refused by the planters, who raised
the bonus percentage to rs per cent,
but left the wage scale unchanged.
The "Jiji" expressed itself as very
much disappointed by the planters
decision and took a gloomy view of
the future of the sugar industry in
Hawaii. The cost of living, it urged,
was two or three times as high as
before the war, which made the
workers demands very reasonable,
but the planters, while making
enormous profits" refused them.
The paper urged no specific means
Of action, but the Japanese labor
representatives met at the head
quarters of the federation of the
Japanese labor unions December II
and decided on the following steps:
1. To request the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association to reconsider
the demands Of the Japanese cane
workers for more pay, shorter hours
and better conditions.
2. To report to the heads of labor
organizations of Japan, Great Brit
ain, France and Italy on the condi-
tion OF Hawaii's cane workers.
8. To publish the history Of the
movement for higher wages leading
to the planters refusal to grant the
demands, IN order to let the general
public know tho whole truth.
4. To report to President Wilson,

(Which is making it very difficult for
the officers to build up their cases.
They recently got onto the trail of
an Italian grocer on the East Side
in connection with wholesale wood
alcohol poisonings in Massachusetts,
and Connecticut. The grocer, it ap-
peared, was possessed Of a permit to
buy non beverage alcohol for the
purpose of making perfumes. He
! had no equipment for the making of
perfumes that the officers could find,
but he had a fine cellar in which to
store barrels Of cologne spirits,
which is the trade name for that
neutral form of alcohol that may be
either beverage or non-beverage al
cohol.
1t simply happened that when one
of his regular bootlegging custom
ers telephoned to him for supply
of alcohol he had none in stock. He
gave his customer, who was Adolph
Panarelli, Greenwich Village wine
and olive oil dealer, the telephone
number of another dealer in illicit
spirits who gave still another num-
ber, and eventually Panarelli, acting
as broker for Nathan Salsberg, a
Hartford bootlegger, bought a con-
signment Of seven barrels of what
he supposed was cologne spirits. In
stead, according to the physicians
who performed the autopsies on the
one hundred or more victims, he had
been sold Columbian spirits, rank
and deadly poison.
Cologne spirits are supposed to be
the best "run" of the still-that is,
the 'middle run," which is odorless.
The first and second "runs" have
New-York tribune., 1920-01-11

an odor. Cologne spirits Is, then, a.
fiery, colorless liquid without odor.
Columbian spirits, however, is re-
fined wood alcohol. 1t becomes even
more deadly through it's refining
process, if anything. According to
DIR. Royal Copeland, Health Commits
sioner of New York, two table
spoonsful should be sufficient to kill
an ordinary run-of- -the-subway man.
DIR. Copeland is one of those who
believe that wood alcohol should be
renamed wood acid, and he is es-
pecially anxious to have Columbian
spirits renamed so that the unwary
will :, be incapable of confusing it
with cologne spirits.
Makers Of denatured alcohol use
much non-beverage alcohol, for de-
natured alcohol is just that with the
addition Of 10 per cent wood alcohol
and dash Of benzol, intended to
make it unpalatable.
The revenue agents have discov-
cred that some of the most unscru-
pulous bootleggers have attempted
to "rectify" this decoction, half
dozen drinks of which would kill a

Their perfume business" consisted
of buying all the spirits their permit
allowed and reselling it for about
81 900 barrel, by way of diversion

water by mixing a perfume oil in a
quantity of alcohol. That gave the
place - usually a tenement house
room--a pleasant odor, too, that
may have pleased the real custom

Have 500 Cases

All told, the force under Colonel
Porter has worked up about 500
cases against bootleggers. Each case
involves from two to three men,
usually the proprietor of the bootleg
place and the hartenders.
