Party-Removal of District
Attorney Sought.

Boston.-The disclosure that former
Mayor James NJ. Curley had partici-
pated in the activities involved in the
charges Of Attorney General ]. Wesley
Allen seeking the removal OF District
Attorney Nathan A. Tufts Of Middlesex
county, came upon the opening of the
trial before five justices Of the state
supreme court. Prominent officials and
others jammed the courtroom to hear
the case, which promises to be most
sensational Of its kind here in years.
A midnight frollc Of four years ago
at Mishawum Manor, a roadhouse in
Woburn, said to have been conducted
by woman known as Brownie Ken
nedy," whose guests included several
motion picture producers, was de-
scribed.
Allen alleges, among other things,
that Tufts was concerned in a con-
spiracy by which the motion picture
men paid 100000 to escape prosecu-
tion threatened on account Of their
presence at the Mishawum dinner
party.
Adolph Zukor and Jesse Lasky, the
two most prominent motion picture
producers in the country and heads OF
the concern which produces the Para.
mount pictures, are mentioned in the
case.
The affair at Mishawum Manor took
place, according to the charge, March
6, 1917. II followed a dinner to FATTY"
Arbuckle at the Copley Plaza hotel in
this city. About twenty or twenty-five
persons were present at the Woburn
party, and there were ten or twelve
women at the house. The company re-
NAMED from midnight until about 4
am. The bill for the dinner there
amounted to $1,000, and Hiram Abb

sunar From Corn Stalks.

Investigating the sugar production
Of corn stalks, p. VielIand, French
chemist, has found that the stem Of
the maize plant normally contains no
sucrose, or cane sugar, and very little
dextrose, or grape sugar. If the ears
are removed when the grain begins
TO be milky, however, sugars accu-
mulate In the stem, and In Z to "a
days after removal of the ears the
exUactable amounts may reach to
10 per cent OF sucrose and TO 3
per cent of dextrose. While not
more than one-third of the sucrose can
be obtained In crystalllzable form, this
is immaterlal in the production Of alco-
hol. 1t is calculated that $50 gallons
Of alcohol per acre Of maize crop can
be produced. The growth Of the
plants is fairly rapid, and the period
between planting and the gathering
Of the stems would be about 400 days.

SIGH OF RELIEF
GREETS TRUCE
DUBLIN A PEACEFUL CITY AFTER
MONTHS OF WAR.-MAY BE
PERMANENT.
TERMS OF ARMlsTICE FIXED
Lloyd George and De Valera VIII Con,
fer soon-AIl South ireland and
All England Hope for Perma-
nent Peace.

London.-With something like an
immense sigh of relief the entire coun-
try has greeted the news OF the cessa-
tion of warfare In Ireland and Eamonn
de Vaelra's coming conference with
the British prime minister at London,
which it is feryently hoped will lead
to full restoration of peace, the pros
poets of which even the more cautious
political observers regard as brighter
than for long time.
The careful wording Of Mr. De Va
lera's acceptance OF a conference is in
terpreted in some quarters of the Irish
republican leader feeling his way with
his own followers. 1t is thought, how
ever, that truce deliberately embark
ed upon cannot well be deliberately
discarded, and that alone is consid-
Grafton Of great promise.
The terms of the truce were agreed
to at British military headquarters in
Dublin. The provisions OF the truce
cover fully all the ground for tenn.
porary peace between the active Irish
workers and the crown forces. All at.
tacks, searches and raids, surveillance
and provications are to be abandoned
by both sides.
Mr.. De valera's acceptance of the
responsibility for fulfillment of the
truce by the Irish republican army is
held to dispel the idea in some quar-
tiers that the activities of the Sim Fein
are beyond control of the political
chiefs. Whether that is so will be
tested by the course of events after
the truce comes into effect.
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secre-
tary for Ireland, will remain at the
Irish office watching the situation.
AS Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre-
mier is remaining in London, 1t is
conceded that Premier Lloyd Georges
principal task will be to bring him and
Mr.. De Valera together.

STILL OPERATORS
MAY LOSE HOMES
GOVERNMENT YIELDS TERRIFIC
WEAPON TO ENFORCE COL
LECTION OF TAXES.
WARRANT OF DIsTRAINT
Internal Revenue Service Makes Col
lection Of Tax Regardless Of
Whether the Accused Person
Is Guilty.

Memphis.-The property seized OF
Caesar Cattaneo under warrant Of dis.
traint for Illicit distilling will be sold
at public aution for cash, on Wednes.
day, July q, 121, in front of the post
office, Capleville, Tenn.
Now comes the internal revenue ser.
vice with the old, old warrant of dis
traint as an element in the matter OF
Illicit distilling and possession Of liq-
uor unlawfully. And persons who are
engaged in this violation of the ma
tional prohibition act and those who
contemplate taking it us as means
of acquiring money will do well to give
heed to the operation Of this warrant.
II should be understood that the rev.
enue department has nothing to do
with the prosecution of cases coming
under the prohibition act That branch
Of the government has to do only with
the collection of the tax which the
government demands for the distilling
Of liquor or for the sale Of liquor. The
fact that such distilling is prohibited
by law does not relieve any persons
from payment of the assessment which
is levied on the product, for, this must
be paid the government whether it is
produced lawfully or unlawfully.
The enforcement of the prohibition
act and the prosecution OF cases aris-
ing out of such violation is vested in
other branches of the government.
Therefore, the revenue department
does not wait until a person charged
with violation of the law is convicted
before descending with demand for
the required tax. The procedure
briefly is this: The prohibition en-
forcement officer makes a raid. He
finds a still OF liquor. An arrest may
be made or not. He makes report
to the district prohibition enforce
ment office. That office reports to
the internal revenue department. The
word is sent to the collector of In
ternal revenue In the district in which
the violation occurred. The deputy
COLLECTOR proceeds TO collect Uncle
Sans tax.
Assuming the tax or assessment is
not paid, the deputy collector under
the warrant of distraint, is empow-
cred to seize any property whatsoever,
located at any place, and sell the
same for the assessment. 1t may be
the personal property of any nature,
such as clothing. furniture, automo-
bile, stock, money in the bank, or
anything of like nature.
1t may be the realty of the person
named in the prohibition officers re-
port. His home may be taken and
sold, or other realty he owns. Fur
thermore, 1t is not necessary that the
property sold under the warrant Of
distraint be located in the state where
the alleged offense. was committed.
The government looks to securing the
payment of the assessment regardless
of where. the property is located.
1t may appear as queer. In fact, may
seem harsh, that property can be
seized and sold without the owner
thereof being found guilty first. But
II is done and it readiy must be seen
what a terrific club the government
Yields in securing payment Of the tax
1t exacts from the illegal liquo-
maker.

Representative Collier Charges Chair

Washingtonr-The Forduey tariff
bill has been alternately condemned
and praised in the house. In speech
which drew repeated rejoinders from
republicans, Representative Collier Of
Mississippi, a democratic member OF
the ways and means committee
charged that Chairman Fordney had
permitted the committee to hear only
one side of the case in framing the
measure. a
Mr.. Collier declared the American
people had asked for duty free meat,
and they got lava and skeletons; that
they asked for free sugar and got
Chinese joss sticks.
This Fordney bill has put rates SO
high" he said, that the people will
suffer deprivation. The bill lets
leeches in without duty. American
leeches have been hanging around the
ways and means committee for
months, asking for rates so high that
they would draw the very life blood
of the people, and ! fail to see the
logic of letting the other leeches in
without being taxed upon their Ameri.
