CREATION UNIFIED
GERMAN STATE
Proposition Has Aroused Opposition
In Bavaria And Saxony-Propo-
sal Made By Coalition Bloc.
Associated Press

BERLIN, Jan. 26-The suggestion
originating in the Prussian Diet that
the National government sound the
sentiments of the federated states on
the question Of creating unified Ger
man state has aroused opposition in
Bavaria and Saxony. The proposal
was introduced by the Coalition Bloc
of the Prussian Diet.
The press dispatch from Munich
says the majority of the Bavarian peo-
pie are unalterably opposed to any
scheme that tends to obliterate the
time honored prerogatives of the
state.
In a general debate on the issue in
the Bavarian Diet, the parties, with
the exception of the majorities and
the independents, opposed the scheme.
The Ultra Left Radicals, however, de-
clared that they Internationally fav-
ored it and requested the Bavarian
government to direct their efforts in
that direction.
The Saxony Ministry President,
Herr Gradnauer, expressed the belief
that the present moment is not the
time for the execution of a plan which
purposes to wipe out the political
frontiers of the federated states. He
said he believed that the Berlin Off
cial quarters were inadequately post
ed in respect to the South German
opposition to the hasty Capitalization
of all authority in Berlin and that
such disinclination would serve as a
check to the aspirations of Berlin.

ARREST THE KING
OF BOOTLEGGERS
Sims Montgomery, Who Has Been
Supplying Illicit Traffic, In the
Clutches of the Law.

The source of supply of large por-
ton of the illicit liquor traffic in
Greenwood, was revealed Saturday
when the local police arrested Sims
Montgomery, negro, who is believed to
have been doing an immense bootleg
ring bdsir ess in this city for many,
months and possibly years. Sims has
been drayman for the Quinn Drug Co..
here for the past five years and he
obtained the liquor with which he sup
r-ied his trade, by tappi G the bar
cels of alcohol consigned to this COM
pany, in transit from the depot.
The middle of last week, Sims was
sent to the depot to bring two bar
-els of grain alcohol from the static
% the Quinn Drug Company's place OF
business. The two barrels were load
ed or the truck and then Sims drove
to his bootlegging joint aid drew
thirteen gallons of alcohol from the
two barrels, valued at about $83
which he turned over to Zeke Wint-
ers, a. negro, who was one of his
agents.
Tiny holes were bored in the bar
rels with bit and auger. So clever
ly were the barrels tapped that detec-
ton was most difficult. The negro
ehen delivered the alcohol to the Quinn
Drug Co.
For several weeks the city police
have been active in their efforts to
round up the bootleggers in the city
A number of arrests were made, but
they were unable to find the source OF
The liquor supply. So hot were the Of
sicers on the trail of the bootleggers
that Zeke Winters became frightened
and moved the alcohol which had beer
turH ed over to him by Sims, from the
hiding place on Main street. He took
t to the home of Cornelia Johnson
egress, and the officers learned that
the supply had been delivered to he1
home.
When Cornelia was arrested anC
brought into the court she stoutly de-
MED that she had anything to do with
The liquor. However she told the off.
ers that Zeke had brought it to hel
home and when he was taken into Gus
tody by the police, he revealed the
whole story.
Just how long Sims has been steal
ing liquor from the Quinn Drug Co.
it is impossible to ascertain. But the
officers are confident that he has beer
in the illicit traffic for a sufficient
length of time to have accumulated
a bank account of thousands of dol
lars.
YIELDED BIG PROFITS.
According to information the police
obtained, Sims agents, as we'll as him
self, have been getting rich through
his source. According to Chief O.
Police Bonner the bootleggers hav'
been selling a Coca Cola bottle of Ii
| uuor for six dollars. The alcohol wa
diluted so that each bottle contained
only two ounces. According to thes'
figures each gallon of alcohol woult
bring a profit of $24O.
Sims was tried in the city police
court Saturday for having liquor il
his possession. He was fined $10'
and costs by Mayor E. V. Hughstol
and was then turned over to the coun
| ty officers. He is being held on I
charge of grand larceny and violation
of the prohibition law, by the count.
officers. He was released on bond thi
morning His bondsmen are Wilt
