Fund 100000 for
Dry Enforcement
From Now to July LIST

washington, Feb. 22-Friends of
prohibition enforcement in the House
today won another battle to keep Ii
quor beyond the reach of those not
permitted to handle or drink it.
After a flare up that threw the
House into bitter debate toward the
close of a peaceful holiday session,
the prohibition forces rallied follow
ers and put through a motion direct
ing conferees on the deficiency bill to
give the government $1,40o,000 to
break up the liquor traffic from now
until July l. 1t was the top figure
discussed.
Representative Barkley, Democrat,
Kentucky, told the House that a tax
Of seven and half cents was i'm
posed on every man, woman and
child in the United States to keep
the nation dry, and that there were
not enough agents. He proposed that
the House accept the Senates total Of
81, 100000 and this was what it finally
decided to do. By agreeing to the
Senate sum, the revenue bureau will
get 100000 more than the House first
authorized.

hogan Jail tomorrow by Deputy Sher-
ifs George Clark of North Arson and
Thomas H. Tuscon of Scion. They

struck over the heart with a pick
when trouble arose over loading pulp
wood. The pick, it was understood,
did not penetrate the flesh.

the camp since the first of December
while Brieskis had been employed
there three or four years.
