YELLOWLEY DENIES
NEW DRY REMOVALS
Back From Washington With
No Orders to Discipline
Local Booze Agents.

L. L. Yellowley, associate Federal
prohibition director for this State, re-
turned to this city yesterday from
WASHINGTON and said that there would
be no further removals OF agents from
this district unless II developed that
some of them needed removing.
Conditions here in regard to the
prohibition situation are being we'll
taken care off, he said. "and il is
wrong to suppose every time an agent
is shifted from this fleld to another or
goes into other work that he has been
dropped for grating. Agents are be-
ins transferred all the time and are
dropping out all the time. Marc men
find the work uncongenial, and others
have opportunities to take up work
that pays better. But the main point
fs that no changes are contemplated
here for the present and l have not
come back from Washington with in
structions to make any,"
Mr.. Yellowley would not say low many
agents were working in New York, ex-
planning that many of the ones who arc
were too we'll known already and that
the main reason for transfers always
was that :. became necessary to shift
men to keep up with the lawbreakcrs.
Director Harry l.. Hart yesterday said
that the most effective work which Is
now being done was that OF turning up
physicians and druggists whose main
practice was supplying whislSey. A num-
Der OF permits issued to druggists have
been revoked and most OF the forged
ones have been traced and the holders OF
them arrested

BIG RING AROUND MOON
sABOUT $50 FEET AWAY
Enormous Halo GGve Broad
Way Crouds Stiff Necks.

Some astronomer or other called up
THE NEW YORK HERALD last night from
Times Square and reported black ring
around the moon--about 40 or so feet
outside the rim, he said.
Go out and look at it," he suggested.
Everybody up here on Broadway Is
getting a stiff neck
The reporter went out In City Hail
Park and razed up at the sky. There
was the ring. all right. but 1t was gold,
not black, and at least $50 feet from
the moon.
The sight suggested the lines from
THE Wreck of the Hesperus" Last
night the moon had a golden ring and
l fear a hurricane"
So the reporter called the Weather
Bureau. but the Weather Bureau didn I
answer. All the weather prophets were
out looking at the moon, or something.
The Observatory at Columbia didn't an
swer either. so the reporter had to give
1t UP.

HOUSE AND BARN BURNED
Fire at Henry Hoffman Place De-
stroyed Log House Of Early Days

Henry Hoffman who lives In Jefr-
erson township was wakened about I
o'clock Sunday morning by a glare
I'm his room and looked out to see his
barn ablaze. The strong south wind
famed the flames which got beyond
control and spread to his chicken
house and from there to the home
of his father, Christ Hoffman. which
also was destroyed. All the stock ex-
cept two calves were saved from the
barn but 500 bushels Of wheat, 700
bushels Of oats and between 80 and
40 setting hens were lost with the
barn and chicken house. The barn
building was new, having been erect
ed only two years ago.
The home Of Christ Hoffman was
one of the few log houses still occu-
pied as dwelling house and was one
of the old landmarks Of Jefferson
township. 1t was built in the pioneer
days and had been added to and i'm
proved as more conveniences could be
had on the farm.
Neither Mr.. Hoffman nor his son
smoke and no fire had been lighted
near the barn that day and they have
no clue to the origin Of the fire.

ANOTHER "GRAIN DAY"
Farmers of State Asked to Contribute
100 Cars For Near East

100 Cars For Near East
Another "Grain Day" for Kansas
farmers has been set aside by the
Kansas headquarters Of the Near East
Relief. Owing to rains that clOgged
the roads in many parts Of the state
the feverish organization among many
farm bodies and the absolute necessity
for the state to furnish her 100 cars
Of grain for the relief Of the starving
thousands in the Near East, April %
has been designated for the general
acceptance Of corn and wheat at the
1,16O elevators throughout Kansas.
April 8 was the first "Grain Day."
All Of the elevators are ready to
care for the contributions Of grain
free of charge. The mills are await
ing the grain. Transportation is pro-
vided. All that remains to be done
is the9ulfillment OF the Kansas farm
ers' contract for 100 cars Of food to
relieve the dying abroad.
This is distinctly a farpers' move
ment. The town man will receive mis-
chance latter. One hundred cars Of
grain means so little to the wealth Of
this states product and so much to
the hungry in the Near East that 1t
Is believed the full amount will be
available following the shipment Of
cars April %.
