BOSTON DRIEST
CITY In NATION
Kramer Finds New York
Wettest With 7OODrink
Resorts.

Boston Is the driest city In the
United States and New York the
wettest. Federal Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer said yesterday:
Probably there are 700 places in
New York where the prohibition
law is being violated" said Kra-
mer. This shows a big success
for the prohibition law. however.
New York used to have 1900 .a-
looms.
Boston" said Kramer, .'is prob
ably as near a perfect 100 per cent
dry city as there Is in the United
States.
Partial prohibition or the pro-
posal to permit the use of light
wines and beer never will be a
success in the United States, nor
anywhere eise. In my opinion. The
minute partial prohibition is per-
mitted. advantage will be taken of
the concession to>sell strong liquor
on the sly.
Prohibition so far has achieved
as much Of a success as could have
been hoped in the United States"
"Just now" he said, I'VE are ex-
periencing trouble in devising an
alright system of permits for pur-
chase and sale of liquor for non
beverage purposes. Some of our
permits have been fraudulently
changed to permit purchase OF
greater amounts Of liquor than in
tended"

Cows Get Jag
On Moonshine;
Result Is Raid

Durham, N. c.. July 1.-two cows
acting peculiarly led to the capture
of a large blockade still in opera
tion near here yesterday. The own
er of the cows called the veterinary,
who pronounced the case drunk. On
investigating, the sheriff located the
still. and destroyed a large guam
tity OF whisky.
Discrepancies were noted in ac-
counts given by Federal ofiicers re-
garding the killing.
Examinations of the wound indi-
Gates that Thomas was shot from
the rear. The officers say Thomas
fired one shot at them and that
seven were fired in the direction
OF the man. They did not know
that they had killed a man until
late yesterday, when the body Of
Thomas was found.

FEW STUDENTS
WANT GERMAN
Light Demand in District
Schools -Reintroduction
Up to Ballou.

/. Lack of demand for the German
language in Washington high
schools, which caused its teaching
being dropped from the curriculum
at Business High School before the
world war, will make its resumption
unnecessary when the high school
reopens in September, 1t was said
last night by school authorities
1t was regarded as improbable
that the principals would take. the
, matter into their own hands, and
put German back into the schools
without consulting the Superintend-
ent of Schools or the Board of Edu-
cation before the schools open.
Several high school principals are
working on plans for reorganization
of the schools in preparation for
September. None have considered
the reinstallation of German in the
curriculum. This will be one of
the problems for DR.. +. w. Ballou.
superintendent of schools, to solve
when he returns from his vacation.

Standing Of Candidates

We are on the home stretch in The
Record Auto race. Some of the can
didates for honors have dropped out
of the running, but those who have
endured the gruelling pace so far,
show no evidence of quitting until the
final hour-3:O0 P. M, Tuesday, Au-
gust 31st. Please keep in mind the
closing hour, 800 o'clock, Tuesday af
ternoon, August S1st. No candidate
will be admitted to ii office
after that hour.
The last extra vote period ended on
Tuesday and many took advantage of
it. We feel, however, that none Of
the earnest workers will stay their ef
forts until 800 o'clock on next Tues
day, when the final count will be
made.
Remember there will be no losers,
for those who have worked to the end
and who do not win grand prize, or
who have not won q special cash prize
will not go empty handed, provided
they have as much as $25 in sub
scription business to their credit.
There are changes In the standing
of the candidates again this week
since this was the last opportunity to
take advantage of the extra votes cou
ron offer. The standing each candi-

be determined by the effort put forth

Atty AT HANDS OF A
SMALL MOB.

the Identical spot where James Ray
fell mortally wounded during the bat

and riddled his body with bullets. He
ives reported to Sheriff Story after
wards as dead.
The crime for which the young ne
gro was put to death is alleged to
have been committed at 10 o'clock
this morning near the childs home
Cries of her mother, it is said, caused
the negro to run, leaving the little
girl without serious injury.
An armed posse formed immediate
" after the crime was reported, but
it was Sheriff Story's posse, composed
of deputy sheriffs and police officers
Of both Graham and Burlington, that
landed the prisoner. They found him
crouched in a honeysuekle vine near
the Graham railroad station. he was
arrested and placed in the Alsmance
county jail shortly after the noon
hour. He admitted the crime, Sheriff
Story said.
At 3 O'Clock this afternoon Sheriff
Story and his six assistants started
with Jeffress to the courthouse one
block away. Arriving at the spot
where Ray was killed, mob formed
around the officers and their prisoner
There was q sudden surge forward
and in the twinkling Of an eye, &C
cordine to the sheriff, the prisoner
