Booze Inforna-
ton a Secret

Assurances that information pro-
vided by individuals and calculated to
bring about detection of liquor law
violators will be treated as confiden-
tial and "in no case will the name OF
the informant be used" are set forth
in communication from William
Woodburn, United States district at
torney for the district of Nevada. to
Jonathan Payne, prohibition director,
the substance of which was made pub
lie by Mr.. Payne recently, says the
Reno Gazette. The communications
was in reply to a letter sent to the
United States attorney by the direc-
tor in which the suggestion was made
that if individuals could be made to
feel that they fould be fully protected
afainst "entangling alliances" they
could be relied upon for more effective
cooperation in enforcement of the
Volstead act.
This is not to encourage key hole
tactics" said Payne, but when a per-
son knows the law is being violated,
it is his duty to report it and the de-
partment wants him to know that he
may do so with security John Exni-
clos, the newly appointed supervising
prohibition agent for the Pacific
Coast, seems to be out after results
and he is going to get full support
from his Nevada colleagues. Until an
enforcement officer in charge is ap-
pointed for Nevada. complaints may be
brought to this office"
In his letter to the United States
attorney, which was written during
the absence of prohibition officers in
Reno, due to the departments lack of
funds, Payne said:
q understand that search warrants
based upon affidayits of prohibition
officers setting forth therein merely
the facts disclosed by the citizen with
out naming him and disclosing also
corroborative facts which have been
secured by investigation of the officer
himself, have been sustained by Judge
Harrington. If this be true, the mat
ter is simple, indeed, and when the
public generally understands it, un-
doubtedly there will be a great amount
of first-hand information available up
on which necessary additional evidence
can be procured and the offenders, in
due course, appropriately punished. "
And in reply. Mr.. Woodburn says:
"Since the advent of national pro-
hibition, the officers concerned with
its enforcement have depended to a
great extent upon information Sc
cured from private sources. and in no
case has the name of the informant
been divulged
"The federal grand jury recently
adopted and presented resolutions to
Honorable e. S. harrington, judge OF
the district court, Carson City, Ne
yada, wherein it called attention to
the fact that it was the duty of every
citizen to report violations of the ma
tional prohibition act, and that the
public might rest secure in the feeling
that any information received would
be treated as confidential, and in nc
case would the name of the informant
be used.
"Inasmuch as the prohibition force
in this state is small, it is most essen
tial that the public report to the en-
forcement officers violations of the
law, as it can be readily seen that If q
citizen does not now take an interest
in the enforcement of this law, it is
going to be very difficult to detect
violations"

Former Cloverport Woman
Suffered an Attack of Apo
plexy and Died Shortly
Afterwards.

The sudden passing away OF Mrs.
Rose Caufman came as great shock
to her aged mother and friends in
this city.
Monday morning shortly after
breakfast Mrs. Caufman went to the
apartment OF Mrs. Lou Herman to
see her friend, Mrs. Lula ). Duncan,
on business She was taking leave and
was at the stairway alone Almost in
stantly the occupants OF the house

ried into an adjoining apartment and
placed upon a bed. Physicians were
summoned and aid was given, but
death came at two o'clock in the
r'afternoon. e..-
Mrs. Caufman' was ~ years old For
sometime her health had been inn
pared, yet@she kept busily at her work,
that of dressmaking. For the last six
months she had been subject to faint
ing. but these spells were of very
brief duration and were not considered
specially alarming. On the day pre-
vious to her death she attended church
services. as was her custom to do.
That night enroute to church, II is
said. Mrs. Caufman expressed to a
friend that she felt deeply depressed;
that she had a foreboding of an UNI
timely death II is not known whether
Mrs. Caufman tainted Monday or
, whether she suffered from apoplexy

sion of the brain caused death.
Mrs. Caufman was born and reared

SURVEY MADE TO
ESTABLISH GRADE
FOR SIDEWALKS
City Council Orders Survey
Made in West End and on
the Hill Where There Are
no Enforced Boundary
Lines.

Mr.. Francis Friel, a civil engineer,
of Haweville, is being employed by
the Cloverport City Council, in max
ing a survey of lower Cloverport and
the Hill in order to establish a grade
for the laying of sidewalks in these
two sections of the town. This surrey
was requested by a number of the
citizens who are contemplating laying
concrete walks in front of their
homes, but owing to not having an
established grade for the laying OF
sidewalks they are deferring their
plans Hence the city council ordered
the survey made.
East End Already Surveyed.
Several years ago a survey was
made in the East End of Cloverport,
by Mr.. Hudson president and general
manager l. H. & ST L., and members
of the council felt the West End and
Hill citizens were entitled to have
their sections surveyed now so that
when they do put down concrete
walks they may be laid according to
the established grade and avoid trou-
bic in the future by not having them
to conform with the city's required
law for laying sidewalks.
No Boundary Lines.
In the early laying off of Cloverport
and with the growing additions to the
town. a rigid enforcement OF the
boundary corners and streets was
never held. the result is, some squares
have more ground than they should
have while other squares and streets
haven't enough. Consequently some
difficulty has been found in locating
corners.
As soon as the preliminary survey
is completed. Mr. Friel will then go
over all the measurements and lay
down the grade for each street and
square. and make a complete map of
| Cloverport, which will be available at
all times for any citizen to find and
whenever they want to put down a
sidewalk they can ascertain how much
| fill or cut will have to be made in
order to comply with this uniform
grade.
Nothing Compulsory.
In doing this, the Council is not
making it compulory law for every
one to lay concrete walks but for the
convenience of those who are DESTROYS
, OF SO doing.
In few years. by having this es-
tablished grade. a system OF concrete
walks will probably be had all over
the city.
