THE president of the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad, Daniel willard, ex-
presses the opinion that a reduction
of freight rates will not revive business.
In this opinion he probably stands en-.
tirely alone. for the people of this
country from the President of the
United States down know that the out
rag cously high rates on freight are
sitting enterprise and restricting bust
ness. The railroads simply cannot
force shippers to paw their exorbitant
demands, and that's why there is stag

and raw materials of every sort.

theory to the test and introduce

New York Activities

New York, Dec 31. - New York city's prohibition battalion 1858 strong, reinforced by several F. C. Yellow ley's special liquor sleuths, received today from Ralph A, Day, state di- rector, final instructions for carrying out the most rigid observance of the law over the New Years holiday,
 They were to be scattered through the city with orders to make no dis 1inction whatever between Broadway and the Bowery, Fifth avenue or Fourteenth street, but to press the dry" crusade into every quarter where merry makers gather.
 Surprises Promised
 Prohibition officials predicted sur prises for many restaurant prOprie- tors. They made no secret of the fact that agents had reserved tables in some of the popular resorts in the white light district. The large hotels also were included in the scrutiny.
 An unusual step was taken yester- junction against Shanley's in West 42nd street restraining the owners from selling moving or disposing of
 
 hearing on the motion to make the injunction permanent.
 Court Echoes Likely
 It was expected similar moves against other large restaurants would be made today. Violation of the pre- liminary injunction, officials said would result in contempt of court proceedings involving d years i'm ""is0ament or S1 ,OoO fine. The legal move was considered as effective as s.alAnce to enforcement officers in their City-Widc task
 Additional warnings were issued against the danger of drinking poi sonous connections being sold as "hootch" to which nearly a dozen deaths have been attributed around

UNDERTAKERS TO
 BE VERY BUSY
Bad Liquor to Help the Business,
 Is Opinion Of Chemists

Cleveland, O., Dec. 31.-Under- takers will have a prosperous veor about 1926 in the opinion of analy tic and consulting chemists here. be- cause, they claim the Grim Reapor is Whetting his scythe for harvest of prohibition liquor drinkers.
 Hundreds of persons are slowly but surely asphyXiating themselves, ac- cordlng to J. M. Kovachy, assistant city chemist, by unsuspectingly as- slmllating the poisons found in almost every sample of what was believed to be pure bonded" liquor. Hundreds of samples are brought to Kovachy each month for analysis he said, and all thus far analysed have contained high percentage of fusel oil in the raw. In large quantities, consumed by steady drinking, fusel oil changes the blood from oXyhemi- -globin to methemiglobin, he insists.
 In other words, KovaChy says, fusel oil removes the oxygen from the blood, causes the lips and body to turn blue and has the same effect as asphyXiation.
 Illicit peddlers of whisltey use ethylacetate for navoring purposes in some cases, and this is very in furious if taken in any quantity, act ing as a heart depressant, the chemist declared.
 M. E. Curtis, proprietor of the chemical laboratories, advises the present day drinker to "analyze well before using" Traces of adultera- ton that clip year after year from life have been found in almost every bottle of alleged "bonded" liquor he has analysed, he asserted.
 Tt is true portion of the con- tents of most bottles is pure bonded whiskey. That gives it the color, flavor and taste," Curtis added. But the good liquor is mixed with ingre- dients that are harmful to the human system and the question up- permost in the minds of those who come to me for analysis of their liquor is how to remove the ingredi- ents and leave the bonded stuff"
 That "bonded" whisked is being grossly misrepre sented by bootleggers was revealed recently when a raid of a printing shop in the downtown section by federal and police officials uncovered plant which is said to have been devoted exclusively to the manufacture of counterfeit labels and bottle in-bond revenue stamps.
 The labels were similar to those used by prominent distillers on popu- lar brands of intiNicatinG liquors pre- vious to the becoming effective of the eighteenth amendment.
 Ten thousand alleged counterfeit revenue statmps were. coniiscated. Felera secret service operatives de- clar> that statements made by some of the six persons arrested in con nection with the raid indicate that s5O,00O had been "cleared" during the past year through sales of the labels to bootleggers in Kansas City, New York, Chicago, Detroit and other cities

FIRST RECORD FOR
 FLIGHT WAS 59 SECS.
In 1903 Wilbur Wrights Achievement in Going So2 Feet Was Thought
 Wonderful

New York, Dec, 31 (By Associated Press) )-Mans first feeble nutter in his conquest of the air lifted him aIoft for the nocting period of 5a seconds, Eighteen years later he scared easlc-like through space for 26 and one-third hours.
 When Wilbur Wright in a heavier than air machine, flew S52 feet at kittyhawk on December IT, 1903, the feat was pronounced one of the marVels of the century. The whole world rang with the accomplishment.
 Yesterday a monoplane piloted by Edward Stinson, accompanied by a mechanic, finished a continuous flight of 2G hours, 19 minutes, 35 seconds, In Is years a span of less than a minute had been stretched to more than day and a night.
 Stinson yesterday added two hours and 2S seconds to the worlds best previous endurance record previously held by Broussoutrut and Bernard as the result of a flight made in France a year ago last June. A span of four and a half hours was thus added by Stinson to the record made by Land mann some seven years ago.
 They had battled with snow storm while skimming over the earth at a height of less than a hundred feet, with cold below zero, with a 70 mile gale and a hot stinging oil that spashed in their faces and almost blinded them.
 While no official record was kept of the distance flown by the Americans competent observers estimated that their plane had covered approximately 2,500 miles. In distance covered, Stin- son and Bertaud undoubtedly sur passed all former records and more than equalled the transatlantic flight of 1860 miles made by the late Cap tain Sir John Alocock and Lieut.. Ar thur w. Brown, from St. Johns N. F. to Clfden, Ireland.

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 31-Nova Scotia was recovering today from the bliz- gard of yesterday. Carried along by a 40 mile northwest gale, the snow had been piled six feet high in some places. demoralizing tram service, de- laying railroad schedules and menac- ing shipping. No milk trains had ar rived in the city for A hours, but conditions were moderating today and it was expected that a supply would come in with the improving transit service.
 Shipping was tied up all along the coast. The steamer Prince Arthur from Boston steamed into Yarmouth several hours late looking like an ice berg. Some anxiety is felt for small CT shipping due to the suddenness with which the storm broke. The schooner Defender is a wreck at Syd- ney and the steamer Canadian Voy- ageur was aground. The latter will be foated, it is expected.

BAILEYS GIVEN
 lCE CONTRACT
Special Session Downs Recom-
 lnGndatiOn Of Water Board

After a compromise measure to split the city ice contract between John F. DiNonno and the Bailey Brothers had been defeated, the com mon council at special session last night voted to enter into agreements with the latter to harvest ice at Shut tie Meadow for one year at $1,7O0.
 The ice contract was taken up at the regular December meeting, Through an error in parliamentary procedure, it was ruled that the ac- ton could not stand, and accordingly Mayor o F. Curtis called a special meeting.
 Too Much Politics.
 Last nights discussion was a long drawn out one. It was decidedly pep pery at times especially when Mayor Curtis took the floor and charged that some members of the council were allowing such trivial matters as na tionalitcs to interfere with their Judgment; also when Councilman M. T. kerwin alleged 'unfairness" on the part Of the council and said there was too much politics in the city ice con- tract.
 After the city clerk read the call for the meeting and Mayor Curtis ex- plained the error in the recent action, the water boards recommendation that contract be entered into with John DiNonno was presented. Alder man Angelo M. Paonessa moved that the council ratify the contract. Coun- cllman Henry Rice submitted a writ ten resolution, in the form of an amendment, that the water board be permitted to enter into agreements with Bailey Brothers to harvest ice Tor one year period for S1,70O.
 Split Is Rejected.
 Councilman A. F.. Crusberg and AL derman George H. Wells were in fla Vor of splitting the contract between the two bidders and Mayor Curtis placed his stamp of approval on that proposition. Alderman A. NJ, Paon- essa said Di Nonno was agreeable to such contract but Councilman Rice represented the Baileys as opposed.
 'On yea" and ,"nay" vote, the fol- lowing voted for the amendment, giv- Ing the contract to Bailey Brothers: Aldermen Wells, Gill, Gilpatric. and Pajewski, Councimen Rice, Morev Crusberg, Porter, Timbrell, Carlson Peterson, Mlynarski and King.
 Those opposing were: Alderman Paonessa, Councilmen Eichstaedt Qulnlivan, Walrath, Kerwin and Me Cormick.
