CHICAGO. March 31.-A campaign against the home brewing industry is to be launched at once in all parts of the country by the w. c. T. U., according to announcement here.

T. U.. work CTS will seek to get entry into the closets of the kitchen and to find the odor of brewing.

Great Crack in Side of Mount Roberts
 Landslide Is Feared

Warning has been issued by Mayor R. E. Robertson through Chief of Police T. E. P. Keegan and Street Commissioner Morley to the owners of more than a dozen houses on Lower Front Street that a crack in the hill side back of their build ings may develop into serious landslide that might prove fatal to them and demolish their buildings This warning was issued yesterday immediately after the crack was discovered and repeated again today but as far as can be learned has not been needed
 The crack begins aout two hun dred feet up on the hillside aout two hundred and fifty fee- south of 8 point opposite the Juneau City wharf and runs up the hillside more than a huntlred~afeet,ss ,sss then ssasiowfi again to point about two hundred feet south of the starting point making a crack in the shape of a horseshoe approximately two hun dred feet across. The width of the crack varies. from two and half feet to six inches and observers re- port that it widened at least three inches during the night
 Officials Investigate.
 The crack was nrst discovered late yesterday afternoon, Mayor Robertson, accompanied by Chief of Police Kecgan and Street Commis- sioner Morley immediately went to the scene and examined it and then gave their first warning. The high pressure water line that runs along the hillside was ordered emptied at once so that in case of a slide there would be no flood with it.
 From a survey made it would seem that more than an acre of sur face soil is slipping away from the bedrock and according to the city officials the danger is very real for slide which becomes more inn minent as more rain falls as the surface water runs into the crack and tends to losoe1 the surface soil rom the bedrock
 Houses Threatened.
 The houses threatened are more than a dozen in number including several private houses and several small cigar stands on the upper side of the street and the place known as Roberts Row on the lower side.
 Watch is constantly being kept by officers for the threatened slide, measurements taken and the general outlook kept in hand but nothing can be done to relieve the situa- tion except to repeat their warn ings. The location seems to be a spot where at some past time there had been a slide that brought down considerable loose dirt and debris.
