Jobin had done everything possible to evade military service and was not very en- thusiastic about the feats of the Al lied armies. The two men would often come very near to an exchange of blows Burger, furthermore, was en- vious of Jobin's position at the Grand Hotel, where he was well liked by the management and patrons He had succeeded in saving up some 60,000 francs. Burger knew this. as did his mistress, and they planned what they would do had they such an amount.
 Row Ends In Murder
 From then on Burger thought only of various ways of getting this mon- ey. He could not induce Jobin to part with it with a view to investing it. What he considered was his chance came one night, however, when a more than usually heated discussion Matters went so far that Burger. ex- aSperatesd, picked up a knife from the table and stabbed Jobin to death. This happened in the presence Of the Iatter's wife, while the little girl played in the adjoining room.

Hush, little gin mill, Don't you cry! You'll be a drug store By and by.

New York. Nov. 28.-The increase in the number of new drug stores, started since the Eighteenth Amend ment became effective. has focused the attention of local enforcement of ficials upon the increased amount of distilled liquors dispensed by these establishments. More than GOO new drug stores have sprung up in the metropolitan area within the last year. according to local dry officials.
 Prohibition Director Yellowley de- clared that in numerous cases it was found that these new drug stores are owned by men who formerly conduct ed saloons but found their incomes curtailed by rigid enforcement of the Volstead act. The ease with which a druggist can obtain a permit to sell spirituous liquors led many ex-saloo on keepers to purchase o1d-establishe ed drug stores, only to turn them into bootlegging joints within a short time. Investigation proved that these former saloon keepers frequent ly purchased drug stores, paying a fancy price in order to get the liquor permit of the owner, thus greatly logger. The New York State Phar- macy law does not require that a drug owner be a registered pharma- cist; merely reciting the necessity of having such a registered practitioner on duty in the drug store during cer- tain hours. Licensed prescription compounders are available in this territory at $40 per week.
 Cut Rate System
 Many of these mushroom" drug stores, after their purchase by ex-sa loon keepers, sell drugs, candies cigars, perfumes, patent medicines and other sundries at reduced price: in order to attract @ large trade When customer is known to th' owner of the store he is approaches with an offer of booze. In short time an extremely profitable bushes! in liquor is built up, and the drus trade assumes secondary importance being used nerly as a cloak for thu real business of bootlegging carried on by the store owner.
 When the saloons began to disap pear here more than a year ago the! were replaced by soda fountains, con fectionery, cigar and fruit stores. Re gently these in their turn have give1 place to modern drug stores. carrying all the side-lines to be found in tn and catering to a new trade througl

Coal Co. Counsel
Sees Wreck Export
Trade in Regulation

Washington, Jan. N-Destruction Of
the export coal trade of the United
States. absolute and complete would
result from enactment of the Calder
coal regulation bill, Ralph Crews,
counsel for the Consolidation Coal
Company, one of the largest producers
of bituminous coal, asserted today at
hearings on the measure before the
Senate manufactures committee.
American producers, Mr.. Crews said,
could not guarantee deliveries In COM
petition with British mines If, as the
bill provides, authority were given the
President and the Federal Trade COM
mission to declare an emergency in the
industry in times of peace, and divert
coal shipments to meet it. He cited a
contract for 100000 tons of coal to be
delivered abroad which his company,
he said, had held up pending decision
on the bill.
George H. Gushing, managing direc-
tor of the American Wholesale Coal
Association, asked the committee for
three weeks delay in consideration of
the bill in order that it's proposals
might be digested by the trade he rep
resented.
THAT would mean no chance of en-
actment this session, that s ALL" Sena-
tor Kenyon remarked.
Chairman LaFollette announced that
it was probably the purpose of the COM
mittee to alolw some additional days
for the appearance of interested part
les, but that the committee would pro-
coed to a decision Immediately there
after.

Montreal to Feed
Hungry But They
Must Cut Scrapping

Montreal, Jan. 21.-The city tonight
served notice on its unemployed that
free meals would be served them at
any hour, day or night, but that disor-
ders would be sternly suppressed.
This notice was issued after sew
eral sallies had been made on restau-
rants by ex-scrvice men, who dispers-
ed in one case without disorder after
food had been served them and melted
away upon tho sight of heavy police
guard around another establishment.
Police leaders, who during the day
held reserves in readiness for any
emergency, then closed the headquar-
tiers OF the eX-service mems unem-
ployment association, which had an
'nounced that the raids had not been
authorized. Paraders also were
searched for weapons, but no arrests
were made.
Decision of the city to serve free
food followed refusal of many unem-
ployed to accept snow-shovcling jobs
placed at their disposal. Radicals
drifting here from other cities are
blamed by the civic administration
commission for the demonstrations.

TAX BuRDENED
WORLD READY TO
D|SARM, SAYS WHITE

Washington. Jan. 2l-Another of the
American commissioners who helped
draft the treaty of Versailles-Henry
White, ambassador to France under
President Roosevelt-told the House
naval committee today that the time
was ripe for world disarmament and
that the United States should initiate
the movement.
General Pershing's views will be
sought next Tuesday. The committee
already has heard General Tasker II.
Bliss, former American representative
on the supreme war council, and a
member of the peace delegation; Sec
Davis of the state department. Whether
it will hold further hearings after
Tuesday has not been determined.
Mr.. White gave it as his opinion that
the great burden of taxation resulting
from the world war made the peoples
of all nations anxious to cut down on
expenditures for ornaments. He ex-
pressed it that the world was crying
for some agreement" to limit arma-
ments as a means of reducing taxes.
Discussing the proposed naval holi-
day" tine former ambassador said he
did not think the United States should
stop the naval construction it now has
under way. He said he would like to
see the United States at the top when
the disarmament discussion begins and
suggested that the relative sizes of
navies could be fixed by agreement at
the proposed conference. He added
that questions raised at the conference
might show the right of some nations
Great Britain for instance-to a larger
navy than Others"
Because of the threatened spread OF
Bolshevism, the witness said, France
might object to disarmament on land.
In this connection he said that 1.-The
state of chaos in which Germany had
been kept over reparations was doing
more to open the way to Bolshevism
than any other single factor.
AS to the time of calling a confer
ence Mr.. White said that should be left
to President-elect Harding He did not
think President Wilson should call it
as the fact that he would retire on
March 4 might lead the other nations
not to take the invitation seriously.
