The accomplishment OF pro-
hibition are imperceptible in COM
parison with the havoc wrought
by its enactment. 1t has closed
the doors Of saloons, ETC., but has
totally failed in its objective, viz,
THE ABOLITION OF THE USE
OF LIQUOR. 1t has conduced to
thousands Of illicit distillers, who,
through the agency of the boot
logger, dispose of their inferior
product, and has caused iEdivid-
uals addicted to the use Of liquor
to satisfy their cravings by resort
ing to such substitutes as wool al
cohol, hair tonic, lemon extract,
ETC., with a terrible mortality rate
as a consequence. Millions in
Government revenues have been
lost ard additional drains placed
upon the Treasury in maintaining
an army Of highly paid agents TO
enforce the act. Corruption OF
Government officials has been &C
complished, and, lastly, it has re.
suited in dissatisfaction, confus-
ion, and wilful disobedience to
laws. which, at times, has assumed
proportions closely bordering on
anarchy"

George Bishop, 321 North Seventh
street, former school trustee and
voter for the last 65 years, according
to his statement, was not allowed to

ing. He went home and got his first
citizenship papers and presented them
to the election inspectors of his pre-

years ago, and Mr.. Bishop had never
seen the necessity for completing the
process.
q have always been a law abiding
citizen and | will not press my claim

Secretary Weeks appealed to Han

ance of his organization in order to

ton relating to the senator's allega-
tions. After quoting the senator's
charges as printed in the constitution

said:
The foregoing statement, coming
so long after the commission of the
alleged crimes, constitutes a reflec-
ton upon the entire personnel of the
American expeditionary forces. | con-
slider the public entitled to all the
facts which it is within the power of
my office to produce. If there pos
sibly exists any basis for such an al
legation, the responsible persons
should bear the odium. Otherwise,
definite refutation is desirable.
All Records Available
"The war department will make
available all of its records, and such
information as may come from per
sons under its control. However, such
persons constitute but a small per
centage of those who served overseas
! and who have been attacked.
Il request that the American le-
gion lend its assistance toward OBJ
| tanning all facts bearing upon the is
| sue which has been raised"
! Senator Watson interjected into
| senate debate on the tax bill yester-
day letters and newspaper articles
/ which, he said, supported his charges.

| A telegram from a Lansing, Mich
soldier said the writer saw two
! 'YaRks" hung without trial. Another
letter, Senator Watson said, Shows
how men were shot down because
they fell exhausted from long march

The Georgia senator said that in
making his charges he was seeking tc

had no personal or political motives
and that he should be commended
rather than criticized

tee appointed TO investigate Senate
Watson's charges was postponed fo

seas war veteran, was at Liberty here
today under war department order

desertion, imposed upon Thomas G.
Jones, his buddy" and the man who
saved his life while the two men were
with the American expeditionary
forces in France.

the name of Jones'" his reason for
serving the sentence being that he
wanted to repay part of the debt he
said he owed Jones in saving his life.
Jones, who is said to be married and
living in Canada, is being sought by
federal authorities because he was the
real offender.
Haley was released from the bar
racks without the usual railroad fare
and small compensation given prison
ers.

to pull the mail and baggage cars fur

nine coaches on the other side of the
stream to prevent interference by the
passengers. Eight other men appeared
from automobiles and began assault
on the mail car.
On threat of shooting the engineer

opened the robbers forced the mail
clerks to open the door but when the
engineer and fireman had clambered
inside the door was slammed shut.
Several charges of dynamite and fir

ly forced the door in and a hand to
hand battle ensued which ended only
when the robbers had thrown two
bombs into the car and a firebrand
which smoked out the four men inside.
When the clerks came out with the
sacks containing registered mail to
save themselves from being burned,
the bandits jumped into their machines
and left.
