The Horrors of Prohibition.

Overproduction has shot the price of moon
shine in the North and South Carolina whisky
centers. Moonshine preferred has dropped
from SIS to IS per quart and moonshine COM
mon can be had as low as 81 per quart. Prohibi-
ton and scarcity of money have lowered the
high cost of liquor and honest moonshiners are
panicky. The market is glutted with cheap
corn and rye and everybody and his brother is
manufacturing instead of purchasing the prod
uct. In South Carolina mills are closing and it
is believed that moonshine may drop to so cents

dam, part of the Governments nitrate
project, the House adjourned with lines
sharply drawn for fresh fight Monday

All day the dam project was bitterly
attacked and warmly defended. 1t re-
mained, however, for Chairman Graham
of the investigating committee which
went OYER the ground to turn loose the
guns upon the little Alabama settle
ment. into which. he declared. there had
been dumped with reckless regard for
the future enough money to erect half

The other side Of the picture was pre-
sented By Representative Garrett, Dem
ocrat, Of Tennessee, himself member
OF the investigating body. who pleaded
for funds with which to go ahead with
construction of the dam named FOR the
President. and which he insisted would
be vital cog in the American machin-

SECRECY OF DRAFT
Gen. Harris Ordered to Jail for
Ten Days in Contempt
Proceedings.
REFUSED TO GIVE RECORD
Divorce Case Evidence Not to
Be Obtained Through Gov
ernment Channels.
REFUSED TO GIVE RECORD

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.--A contempt
sentence Of ten days in jail was imposed
to-day on Major-General Peter C. Harris.
Acknowledgement of the army, by Justice
siddons Of the District Supreme Court
for HIS refusal to produce certain records
in connection with the selective service
act, which were sought In Ohio divorce
proceedings. An appeal from the ruling
Of the court that such records should
be produced was Immediately noted by
counsel for Gen. Harris and the contempt
sentence automatically was suspended
pending disposition of the appeal
Gen. Harris said he had his field
equipment" ready and was prepared to
serve out the sentence II necessary, but
added that he did not expect to have to
go to jail.
Justice Siddons in entering the order
adjudging the General in contempt d.
rected that should he decide to produce
the records sought before the expiration
of the ten days he was to be released.
The War Department, however, is to
make a test of the status of draft
records.
The record which Justice Siddons or
dered the General to produce was an af-
fidavit made by Mrs. Mary Fl. Walsh.
in behalf Of her husband, Henry H.
Walsh. before Walshs local board.
Walsh is now suing his wife for divorce,
and his counsel obtained an order for
the production OF the affidavit in con-
rection with these proceedings.
General Harris contended that Presi-
dent Wilson in the order promulgating
the selective service act promised that
certain information In connection with
the questionnaires would never be made
public and that among this information
was the physical condition of the men
examined. matters relating to depen-
dents and additional matter or afflda-
Wits that might be filed.
In view of this the General contended
that he was estopped from making the
information public, not only by the law
itself but also by the Presidents order,
which constituted moral promise" to
the wives and other relatives of men
called to service that information fur
nished by them would be kept from the
public.

Senator Penrose (Pa.) announced to-
day his intention of opposing any tariff

include not only emergency tariff on
farm products. now before the Finance
Committee, but likewise bonus legisla-
believes these measures must go over
until the special session and until Re-
publicans control both ends of the ave-
nue..
II have no enthusiasm for temporary
or piecemeal tariff legislation" said Mr..
Penrose. 'The tariff question should be
taken up as whole. disposed OF in a
scientific manner. after consultation
with the President-elect and his Secre-
tary of the Treasury. This applies with
equal force. in my judgment, to revenue
matters. We cannot expect much reve-
nue. from tariff legislation now. In com
parison with the amount we must raise
by domestic taxes, tariff revenue is
negligible. Its greater Importance lies
in the protection it can afford to our
industries. l am as strong as ever for
a Republican tariff. but | believe the
present time finds such changed condi-
tions that we are warranted in pro-
ceeding with elaboration"
Senator Penrose would not enter into
any speculation about the Cabinet ap-
pointments to be made by Senator Har-
ding.
"It does not make much difference
who Is our Secretary of State he said
in this connection. "The Senate will
blaze the way for our foreign policies"
