THINKS ENFORCEMENT
WILL KILL PROHIBITION
Brswers' Attorney Says They
Stand for Observance.

William II. Hirst, attorney for the
New York State Brewers Association
made public last night a statement i'm
which he declared that his clients stood
for the most drastic and rigorous prohi-
bition enforcement, and characterized
national prohibition as synonymous
with national corruption, disgrace, con-
tempt for law and the undermining Of
the foundations OF free and orderly
government.
"The Anti-Saloon League" he de-
clared, certainly cannot point with
pride to its achievement. If il were pos
sble to have genuine enforcement the
Eighteenth Amendment would be kicked
out Of the Constitution with even greater
speed and less ceremony than it was
thrust in"
Mr.. Hirst also called attention to the
price the country is paying for national
prohibition" in loss of revenue from
wines, liquors and beer. His statement
contains figures showing that the total
revenue derived by the United States for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, from
beer, wine and distilled liquor was
$443 S39,544, while for the fifty-five years
commencing June 80, 1868, and ending
June 30, 1919. the country collected di-
recely from distilled and fermented
liquors S7142,335,704.
For twenty-three years commencing
June 80. 1896, and ending June 80, 1915"
said Mr.. Hirst, ''the Federal Government
collected directly from breweries alone in
internal revenue taxes the sum of ST.
ASP. .931,954 During the same period the
State Of New York received directly
from the liquor traffic the net sum of
1892, 500, 000."
Mr.. Hirst declared that he did not
view the situation with alarm, because
"the United States has a habit of COM
ing to its senses and correcting any pos.
sible bluHders which overzealous or fake
reformers or politicians have made it

COLUMBUS IN TOWN
TO PROTEST DRY LAW
Kin of Original Christopher
Totes Private Beer Mug.

Christopher Columbus, who arrived
here from Genoa a year and a half ago
and went to work in the coal mines at
Uniontown. Pa. came to this city yes
terday with his savings and strolled
back and forth along the Battery wall,
while n crowd of several hundred peo-
pie, who had learned his name, followed
him about. He claimed he was lineal
defendant of the original Columbus.
This particular Columbus is about five
feet six inches tall and heavily built.
He wore a red flannel undershirt, and
because the weather was warmer than
he had expected he left off his overshirt
to avoid becoming overheated.
Strapped to his belt Columbus carried
pint beer mug. He carries ii, he said.
because he considers it a silent protest
against prohibition because private
beer mug is more sanitary than any
other. and because he can be sure of
getting a full measure of beer. or near
beer, as the sase may be.

Washington, ID. C., Feb. 1. J
There were intimstions at the State
Department to-day that Germany would
be invited to surrender Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, draft dodger. to this Govern
ment. 1t is recognized that the war has
abrogated all existing treaties and the
armistice is the background of any re-
lationship that may exist between this
country and Germany. Despite this 1t
is believed that polite suggestion to
Germany that Bergdoll be delivered over
to this country before peace Is made
would be needed.
War Department officials were asked
to-day about Q statement attributed TO
Bergdoll in a press despatch from Ger
many to the effect that his attorney, ID.
Clarence Gibboney of Philadelphia, told
him he could obtain his release for
100000. TO be distributed in Washing
ton. It was stated positively at the de-
partment that not the slightest evidence
Of anything of this sort has been prousht
to light by any of the War Department
inou1iries in connection with the Berg
6cll case. No credence is given to Berg
dolls allegations. Mr.. Gibboney is dead
having been drowned while on fishing
Trim IN Mexican waters few weeks ago
In Secretary Bakers office dlgnihed
silence is maintained concerning most
features of the Bergdoll case. The war
Department is not concerned over the
story told by Bergdoll concerning infiu-
ences that were set at work TO secure MS
release under the guardianship OF two
sergeants. who were in turn under the
command of a civilian attorney for Berg
doll.
The order which released Bersdol
from Governors Island so he might
search for the hidden gold may have
borne the technical signature of Gen.
March, but War Department officials ex-
plain that Cen. March had nothing to do
with its issuance. Neither was Secre-
tary OF War Baker informed of the con-
templated action Responsibility for the
order is assumed by Gen. p. c. Harris,
Adiutant- General.

Washington. ID. C., Feb. i.
Defeat Of the proposed cloture rule on

sidered to be certainty, according to
leading Senators. Senator Harrison

borne the brunt of the debate in favor
Of the bill. insisted that cloture will
carry. saying, however, that lin the event
of failure he will make every effort to
obtain n vote some time later. The
general understanding is that if cloture
is not obtained the Republican leaders
Will lay the tariff bill aside and make all
possible speed in the consideration OF
appropriation bills.
II was rumored tonight that the
Democrats might insist upon further
consideration of the tariff bill even
after cloture is defeated in order to test
tho sincerity of the Republicans who
have stated that they were determined to
get vote on the tariff bill "if possible"

Little Hope Is Left
for Young Dean

Wayne Dean, the young man who
was accidentally shot about two
weeks ago at the Carter ranch. is
still in the county hospital and his
condition remains practically un-
changed. according to County Ply
sician A +. Adams, who Is in charge
of the case. In fact, little OF no hope
is held out for the recovery of the
unfortunate young man.
jeff Davis Dean. father of the boy,
arrived in Ely last Friday night from
his home in Maryville, Tenn. and
was anxious to take his son home.
This, in the opinion of the attending
physician. is out of the question, be-
cause OF the paralysis caused by the
lodging of the bullet in the spinal
canal Ii would be practically impos-
sible TO take the young man on such
a journey and certainly would not
tend 10 improve his condition.
Everything that can be done is be-
ing done for the boy and the efforts
of the physician and nurses will never
cease while life remains.

lowing the robbery OF the Collins
hardware store during the last week.

the three in custody are minors and
Under the juvenile act their names
cannot be made public without viola
tion CT the law. The third is Wesley
frantz, 20 years of age. who claims
TO have come here from Utah only
last Tuesday
The officers are entitled to credit
for The excellent work they did on
the case and 1t is doubtful IL the en-
tire matter could have been run down
more successfully in the Burns or any
other detective agency. which goes to
Irove that White Pine county has the
talent and the community in general
should not only appreciate such tai
ent and effort but give the officers the
support to which they are entitled.
When the attention of Sheriff Mich
olson was called to the robbery of the
Collins store not a minute was vast

flcers and upon investigation became
convinced from footprints found at
the rear OF the building where the
entrance was made that Juveniles had
been connected with the case. His
next turn was to Probation Officer
fhomas f Healey. who is always
alert and knows the boys game as
we'll rs ne knows the mans The Of
ficcrs worked in perfect unison.
Mr.. Healey cleverly kept under
surveillance those of an age TO come
under his charge. while Sheriff Mich
olson and Chief OF Police Moorman
covered those of mature age who
from their knowledge and experience
might have been connected with the
case The result was that after per-
sistent work on one of the Juveniles
no broke down and told the tale. He
also told OF how the Knecht and Muir
dock stores were robbed some time
ago.
From this time on the atmosphere
commenced to clear. The boy was
held and two others connected with
the crime were sought. 1t was soon
