to noon, and from then on tests are
made by Chief Chemist Kenney and his
assistant, Edward j. Kelly. Jr., as long
as they are able to see. The instrument
used Is a refractometer. which does not
react satisfactorily in artificial light.
In addition to the actual tests of
seized liquor much time is consumed in
sealing. labelling and preparing reports
on each individual case.
A recent report of DR.. William G.
Robinson, chief chemist OF the Health
Department in Philadelphia. was to the
effect that virtually none Of the liquor
seized by the police and Federal officials
In the Quaker City was pure. honest to
goodness booze. In hundreds of analysis
DIR. Robinson was quoted as saying not
one case was found where real wh!s-
key" had been offered by the bootleg
gers It seems that what one gets in
Philadelphia Is "hootch" of the rawest,
throat burning variety.
No Wood Alcohol.
THE NEW YORK HERALD sought a com
parison with what the local police have
turned in TO the authorities. If the po-
lice ever let UP in their hunt for the
stuff the result may cause an influx OF
the thirsty of Philadelphia Here is
what Chief Chemist Kenney had to say
on the subject:
"Of the several hundred samples we
have already examined we have not
found a single case of stuff that might
cause permanent disability to the person
drinking t--like wood alcohol, for in
stance. On the contrary. we have found
a surprisingly large proportion Of very
sood wines and liquors. Some has more
alcoholic content than others. but the
average all round is good. Some Of the
liquor we have examined undoubtedly is
new, but 1t Is made Of pure alcohol and
harmless to the extent that an ordinary
quantity will have no unusual effect
upon o person accustomed to alcoholic
beverages"
A ''hootch hound" whose supply had
suddenly been cut off might think he was
dreaming If he could glimpse the in
terror OF Mr.. kenney's laboratory. A
table in one corner held half dozen
bottles OF a brand OF champagne well
l<newn on Broadway in the ante bellum
days. 1t was said to have been the
of well known prize fighter
before he was relieved OF 1t by the police
during the course Of a party the other
night. Along the shelves, strewn on
other tables and piled on the floor were
hundreds of bottles of Scotch whislsey OF
we'll known. standard brands rye. Bour
bon, Italian wines, combinations OF pot |
wine and sherry paclsaged to look li.s |
a tonic, and combined. according to M |
labels, with olive oil, wine Of pepsip u |
some such concom!tant. There we're |
scores OF bottles Of btters OF a irand
familiar in every barroom. There were
pharmaceutical preparations that may
be sold legitimately in a drug stre but
not in saloon. And there wer one or
two bottles OF evidence" that 0amna-
tion proved to be within the lat-logan-

Method of Testing.

The bulk Of the stuff dready seized
however. has been foundto run from 9
to AZ per cent of alcori. The method
Of testing the alcoholic lontent IS simple
and one chemist can nake and record
about two tests an ho,r. small guam
tity or the suspected liquor, with an
equal volume OF wyter, is placed in a
distilIing flask and Avaporated until the
dlstillate equals TIE original volume Of
the liquor. The dstillate then is placed
in a beaker and examined through the
refractometer. This instrument reveals
two fields. a light and dark. with scale
marking the liae OF demarcation. For
instance. in a test made by Assistant
Chemist Kelly in the presence Of THE
NEW YORK HERALD reporter, the line Of
demarcation showed at $50. A corre-
spending table shows the alcoholic con-
tent, in the case mentioned. sh per cent
The liquor examined was a cheap red
wine.

A SONG.

Last night as l leaned from my window
High over the darkening street,
A song came floating upward,
Broken and incomplete.
The words were lost in the chasm
Where traffic rumbled and roared,
And only the melody reached me;
But it pierced my soul like sword.
What was itf GodI 1 know not.
1 stood with my lips apart,
While it slipped like sands escaping
From the troubled grasp Of my heart.
Some delicate wrath Of childhood;
Some ghost of the yesteryears;
Twas something as sweet as kisses,
Something as sad as tears.
Rising only to vanish
Battling, yet half revealed,
AS pang of the flesh may tell US
Where wound has long since healed.

RoHwER VERSUS vE1DrbcK.

"when Greek meets Greek, tAen
comes the tug Of war; and the condi-
tions are very similar when those who
do the meeting are Germans instead Of
Greeks. This was made clear to on
lockers and listeners in the district
court Wednesday when the case Of
Mary Rohwer against Henry vsrdisak
was ON for hearing.
This was case for the foreclosure
of trust deed given by Verdieck on
a tract of land in the Three Mile creek
country, which Verdieck purchased o3
plaintiff some time ago. Mrs. Rohwes
asked the court to declare foreclosure
of the trust deed and to appoint . 70
ceiver to take possession Of the prop
eety.
Apparently the feeling between the
litigants Is not one of owe friendliness,
if one might judge from the attitude
of the parties and especially from let
ters written by the defendant to Henry
Rohwer, husband of the plaintiff. These
letters were of very bitter character,
assailing Mr.. and Mrs. Rohwer, as well
as the judge of the district court, and
contained few complimentary allu-
sions to "The KAISER" whoever that
may be.
Judge Shumate listened very atten.
lively to translation of these letters,
which Verdeick had sent by registered
mail, and then announced that they
would be referred to the district attor-
ney, for such action as that official
might choose to take. Judge Shumats
refused to appoint receiver, declaring
such action would prove too expensive,
but he agreed that if either Of the par
ties litigant would secure good ten
ant for the property, or would together
agree upon some suitable party, tho
proper court order would be made, ii
being understood that the rent should
be pal into court, for such disposition
as might be warranted by the facts.
