WET CHICAGO
SHOULD WORRY
PrOhi Office a Farce-Only s
Agents on the Job.

CHICAGO, May 19.-This city, already
as wet as per cent beer can make it,
was left today with eight prohibition en-
forcement agents. following the shake-up
in the department here. Sixteen other
agents were entrusted with the job of en-
forcing the prohibition law in Illinois,
Indiana and Michigan.
Seventy six agents were let out, some
because Of being under suspicion Of ir-
regularities and others because of insult
ficient funds to pay salaries, according to
Ralph E. Stone, retiring regional prohi-
bition director.
The forces will not be augmented again
until July ], when new funds will be
available. John HIGHLANDER by that time
will have succeeded Stone as prohibition

ing at Fourth and Main streets in Day
ton, in which the officers Of the church
were quartered. A few years ago, the
officers were removed from the new
building, to another plant about three
squares distant, in which was situated
the printing plant.
Since that time the new building, one
of the largest in the city, has become
weather worn and is in need Of repairs.
It is proposed to place the new building
in the hands of the preachers pension
fund board, allow them TO make repairs
on the building, out of their funds, and
take the net profits from rentals to ap-
ply to the pension fund. Then the
officers quarters would be returned to
the building at Fourth and Main streets.
PROPOSED PLAN
STRONGLY OPPOSED.
Strong opposition was voiced against
the carrying out of this recommendation
of the committee. It was claimed that 1t
would be fatal to the pension fund to
wrap It up in the business of financing
repairs on the building and then gamble
on the chance to regain their money from
rentals. Opponents to the plan contend
ed the pension fund and the pension
board should remain entirely reparate
from the proposition and should not be
connected with any other movement OF
the church.
An effort was made to eliminate the
recommendation from the committees re-
port, but the attempt failed following
explanation of the plan by members Of
the committee, who showed that the
church as a whole could save money,
and the pension fund be increased by
carrying out the innovation.
