service must operate his refneries at full

adequate storage to take of his surplus out

HUNDRED THOUSAND
DEMANDED AS BAIL
IN WOOD ALCOHOL CASES. ORA
MATIC SCENES ATTEND AR
RAICNMENT IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Bail of $780,
900 each was demanded by United
States Commissioner Reifschneider to
day when John Romanelli, an under
taker; Samuel K. Saleeby, drug
gist, and Edward G. Ware, Saleeby's
brother-in-law, were arraigned before
him on charges of selling alcohol in
violation of the law.
The trio are alleged by federal
agents to have been responsible for
the distribution in New York, New
Jersey and New England of wood al
cohol which later was colored and
sold as whisky, causing more than 100
deaths.
1t is understood that the men will
be taken to Connecticut and tried on
charges of manslaughter.
Dramatic scenes attended the ar
raignment.
Mrs. Saleeby protested that her
husband was innocent of the crime
and tainted when bail was fixed at
100000. Mrs. Ware, mother of an
other defendant, also declared that
her son was not implicated in the
case and she had to be carried from
the court room.

200 Criminals Were Selected
From Murderers and Felons.
Noisy Scene Just as Durrage
Was Hanged.

CHICAGO, Ill.-An experiment IN
psychology was conducted this morn
ing at the county jail, in the dim
hour of dawn, when two hundred
prisoners were forced to witness the
hanging of Raffelo Outrage, convict
ed murderer. Hardened criminals
selected from among murderers and
felons whose expiration Is not yet the
gallows-were placed in cells, tier on
tier of which surrounded the square
in which the scaffold had been erect
ed.
Salutary Effect.
It was the contention of Sheriff
Peters that the sight of the gruesome
trappings would have a most salutary
effect upon those in whose life might
come future temptations to Stay or
to rob.
And so firmly the sheriff believed
in the efficacy of this idea that he
persisted in it despite the request
from Governor Lowden that he aban-
don the plan, and the added protests
from scores of other persons who

AMERICUS, Gar. R. Sturgis,

Noise Begins.
Accordingly the stage was set and
Durrage was led forth. The quiet in
the death chamber became absolute
for a moment. Then the moose was
slipped over the murderer's head
From one of the higher tiers came a
strident shout: "When do we eat?"
Tier by tier, cell by cell the cry
was taken up. 1t became roar above
which the warden's voice could not be
heard. Then the trap was sprung and
Durrage dropped into the space be-
meath the scaffold.
Sheriff Peters declared after the
execution that Governor Lowden's
secretary telephoned the Jail and ask
ed regarding plans for the hanging,
but did not object to the sheriff's pro-
gram.
Answers Critics.
Sheriff Charles w. Peters, later is
sued a statement answering critics
who opposed his action. The state
ment reads:
"In my opinion the modern cod
ding of criminals by well-meanlng,
but misguided, sympathetic, theoreti-
cal reformers and self-constituted or
carnations, is one of the greatest
causes of the great crime wave IN
this city. Their interference with the
vigorous enforcement of the law has
DESTROYED the fear of punishment by
criminals to the extent that it is no
longer deterrent to the further com
mission of crime be incarcerated IN
our penal institutions. A large num-
Der of prisoners openly acknowledge
that they would prefer to be incar-
cerated in the county jail where they
are better fed and where sanitary
conditions are far better than in their
ordinary environments.
Reformers Busy.
"The reformers are constantly ad-
vocating the adoption and enactment
of laws which are for the purpose OF
alternating the punishment of the
criminal, forgetting and losing entire
sight of the protection that the law
abiding and peacable citizen is enti-
tied to as against these human para
sites.
"If one-half of the energy now
spent in sympathy on murderers and
