POLICE ON WATCH
FOR WOOD ALCOHOL
Orders Given for Inquiries as
to Observance of Law
in This City.

Acting under instructions from Maj.
Pullman. superintendent OF ponce.
members of the police force today
are making Investigations to ascer--
tain if the law regulating sales Of
poisonous alcohol is being complied
with.
A record of each sale is required
to be made %! the person making the
sale. The wcrd poison in red Ink
must appear on a label the container
must bear, and 4 penalty of fine or
5000, six months Imprisonment or
both fine and Imprisonment is pro-
vided
POlicemnn's Opinion.
Discussing reports of the use of
wood and denatured alcohol by per
sons who are una Bile to obtain WHISKY,
policeman said he thought there
was a tendency to blame too much on
the poisonous fluids.
Every time an intoXicat ted person
is found on the street or in u build
ing" the policeman remarked. "a cry
of wood or denaturel alcohol is heard
while probably in most instances the
jag has resulted from drinking boot
leg whisky.
1T probably is true that some OF
the bootleg liquor contains the pois-
onous alcohol" he added. and it also
is true that in numerous cases IN
which its use was suspected IT de-
veloped that only the regular whisky
had been consumed.
"A great many persons. heretofore
accustomed to drinking whisky, have
been unable to get their usual quantl-
ties of intoXicants." he said, and
when it is obtained after a long inter-
val of abstinence it has a knock
out effect"
Three persons reported to be suf-
ferng from alcoholism were taken to
hospitals yesterday. two to Casualty
and one to Washington Asylum Hos
pital
The three cases are under investiga-
ton by the police department. Just
what the result will show is prob
lematical. Police say they are greatly
handicapped in their investigation OF
such cases, patients seldom caring to
name the persons fro'n whom they
made purchases. while others are un-
able to tell the identity of such per-
sons.

So great was the enthusiasm of the base ball crazy mob that it finally became uncomfortable and broke through the ropes marking off the stage where city officials and the Cleveland American league baseball players sat, smashing chairs, pushing several persons into a small lake and vocally and physically expressed it's joy over the winning of the worlds series.
 Special details of police were power less, and not until long after the lights had been put out and the ball players had lest did the celebration end.
 Thousands were unable to get near the scene of the demonstration. Streets for blocks around were jammed with thousands of automobiles and a great mass of people, anxious for at least one look at the score of athletes who brought this city it's first baseball championship.
 Down in a little hollow in the park was the stage where the seats were re- served for Mayor W. S. Fitzgerald, the players and others who took part in the program. Long before sundown hundreds of fans began assembling on the hillsides. trekking their way in from every direction. When the mayor arrived at o'clock the hillsides were packed. Great searchlights played down upon the stage. keeping the ball players in tho spotlight. fireworks were set of. bands played and automobiles for blocks around kept up a continual horn honlxing.
 Each player as he was introduced got a wild demonstration. When the last speech had been made the crowd refused to leave. Instead, it rushed through the ropes and hundreds climbed on the stage to shake hands with tho athletes. Babies were passed ovei shoulders to be kissed, hats were smashed and chairs showed aside. bu while many persons were bruised ther' were no serious injuries
 Squads of police ranged through tn mass of people. trying to get it to breal up, but without avail.

WAS HIN GTON. Oct. 1s.-Dis- of alleged practically indiscriminate killing of Haitian natives by United States marines was ordered more than year ago by Major General Barnett, then commandant of the marine corps. was made today in publication of a report by General Barnett on opera tions in Haiti during American occupation.
 Evidence at the trials of two ma- rine privates for the killing of natives shocked me beyond expression" Gen eral Barnett said in a letter of Sep tember 27 to Colonel John H. Russell. commanding in Haiti, ordering an inn mediate investigation with the ap- proval of Secretary Daniels. It was at once carried out by Colonel Russell, who submitted a report to the navy de- partment March 20, 1920. but, General Barnett said the report had not been turned over to marine corps head quarters up to last June, when he was succeeded as commandant of the corps | by Major General John A. Lejeune. General Barnett's report contains no | indication of the result of the inves- tigation for this reason as 1t covers operations in Haiti only up to the time | he was relived as commandant
 Secretary Daniels. 1t was shown, ordered General Barnett September IS, | last, to submit special report on con- ditions causing the investigation. This report was incorporated in the general operations report made public today | General Barnett received the order while on leave of absence shortly after publication of statements by Senator Harding, Republican presidential nom inee. criticising the naval administra- tion in Haiti.
 In Secretary Daniels absence from | Washington tonight, che report oi lColonel Russell on his investigation was not available.
 In his letter to Colonel Russel order ing the investigation. General Barnett declared that testimony at the trials of the two marine privates as we'll as arguments presented by counsel fol the defense, Lieutenant Spear. 'showec

NJ COAL SHORTAGE F CONSUMERS MILL
 PRACTICE ECONOMY
IRepubIIean A. p. Leased WIre1

NEW YORK. Oct. 13.-There will be no serious coal shortage in any part of the country this year. provided ordi- nary care is exercised by consumers. it was predicted here today at the conference of the National Coal asso- citation. which comprises two-thirds of the bituminous coal producers of the United States.
 The operators. however. declared that in order to keep the markets sup piled steady work at the mines and sufficient supply of railway cars also will be required.
 At this time it was stated the bi- luminous operators were only getting about 25 to 30 per cent of the open top cars needed. A special committee which has been working with various cooperative agencies to prevent n winterful shortage reported that the interstate commerce commission, rail ways. big coal dealers and others were CO., operating to increase produC- tion and improve transportation and distribution facilities.

 BILL WILL PASS
rRepubIican A. p. Leased WIrel

BELFAST, Ireland, oct. 13.-Sir Ha- mar Greenwood, chief secretary for Ireland, in a speech today announced that he. Viscount French. lord lieuten- ant for Ireland, and Sir Frederick Ne- vile MacReady, commander of the military forces in Ireland, were in cora plete accord and did not contemplate resigning.
 He declared that the government in- tended to continue with the home rule bill which fl had prepared and would enlarge 1t in the most generous man. ner, especially in the direction of fi- nances, thereby making a complete and final settlement of the Irish problem.
 ''The government will not be de- flected in its course by promises of better measures or other measure s, 5 said the chief secretary. Tt follows, therefore, that we won't tolerate an independent Ireland or part of Ireland being independent. We believe in the imperial and strategic unity of these nations.
 "The real bar to peace in Ireland and the immediate passing of bill that would enable Irishmen to govern their affairs is the campaign of deliberate and callous murder, arson and intimi- I civilized government could tolerate | that, and I can assure all those who read what I say that 1t makes no diff ference what it costs in men, money or time, the government will go forward unflinchingly to treat criminals like the criminals they are.
