BelIeviIle Bell Did Not
Ring Out J.B.'s Farewell
Sad, Sad Vets Told the Mayor Drys
Must Not Toll the Bell

The following petition deserves a
place in the record of the days when
'America went dry. i received many
signers and was presented with all the
formality and dignity OF an important
state paper:
ITO The Honorable 2. X. Johnson.
Mayor OF the City of Bcllville:
Whereas, National Prohibition is
to take effect and be in force on and
after midnight, and
Whereas, Countless employees and
Workingmen will be thrown out OF
employment and millions OF dollars
invested in property will virtually be
destroyed, and
Whereas, The enforcement OF such
law will destroy the personal liber-
ties OF our citizenship, and
Whereas, 1t is understood that the
church bell OF the Methodist church,
located on East Washington street,
is to be tolled at l. O'Clock in celc-
bration OF said event;
I'VE, the undersigned. being citi-
zens of Bellyilc and believing in per
sonal liberties OF all men and good
citizens, hereby petition your Honor,
that you make an honest effort to
have the trustees OF said church re-
frain and desist from tolling their
church bell in celebration of said
event at l. o'clock of this night
Curfcw did not ring for John Bar
leycorn that night. The members of
the W. { r L. having the celebra-
ton in charge decided to be merciful
to the local vets. On the following
day when they tried to ring the bell
they found that it had been securely
tied. Someone had climbed into the
beIry to make certain that the de-
parturc OF John Barleycorn would not
be announced at midnight by the
Methodist church bell in Belleville.

Last year the vets based their

fort was made to give official recog-

by getting the government to appar.

In Chicago the district attorney OF

various Chicago hospitals. The Com
missioner of Health, John Dill Rob
ertson, fearing that such action would
be heralded far and wide as a recon-
mendation by the government OF
whisky as treatment in cases of
influenza, promptly and cmphatically
protested against giving whisky this
implied endorsement. He called
those who were -trying to gel whisky

pneumonia involuntary enemies OF
the public health. The Chicago Jour

alcohol a standing as a flu remedy.

Blue Opposes Whisky Use
The Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Tribune interviewed Dr.
Robertson at the capital where he had
gone to consult with Surgeon General
Blue. Dr. Robertson said:
Whisky is not remedy for pnen-
monia. 1t can neither prevent nor
cure.
Get down the works of the late
DR.. Osler and see what he says.
take the same position that he does.
So does DR.. Blue, with whom l talked
today. So does the medical director
of Great Britain. Every one who has
studied the subject has arrived at the
same conclusion, that whisky is not d
remedy for pneumonia, and should
not be used,
Il have no objection to the turning
over OF whisky to the hospitals to be
used in cases where it may properly
be prescribed by physicians. But to
turn loose quantity of whisky at
this time as an alleged cure for pncu-
monia and influenza is both harmful
and untruthful."
Judge Declines to Ast
The power to give con6s dated whis-
ky to hospitals rests &ith Federal
Judges. Judge Carpenter, who was
requested to present whisky to hos
pitals by court order, declined to do
so. He said, according to one OF the
Chicago papers; "Y,ou ask me to pass
legally ON the question of whether
whisky is good for inhucpza. Even
doctors disagree }as to that question.
SO | as judge can not pass upon it.

serve board in is review tonight of
business, industrial and financial con
,ditions for the month Of May. The
situation already IL acute IN some dis
tricts, and production Ia many lines
IN being held down. Production of
coal is being curtailed chiefly AS u
result Of ear shortage Il estimated
the ear supply at mines in the East nj
only 80 per cent Of normal. Lahor

No reduction of coal prices is in sight,
the board says.
Commenting on the far reaching
effect of the ear shortage and freight
