JAIL IS NEXT FOR
 DRINKERS, SAYS PROHIS
Dry Leaders in Congress Would Make Jail Sentence the Penalty for
 Offering to Buy Drink.
1pv fnternational News Service.

tBv International News ServiceD
 Washington, Feb. 14.--Jail sentence for buying drinks.
 That's nex5. So say the prohibition Headers.
 Pretty soon they'll urge jail terms for asking for a drink, then it'll be the millennium, retort the "wets.
 They are lining up for stiff fight to make it impossible to get drink, if the plans of the dry leaders in Con gress are to be relied on.
 Dry leaders claim the only way to stop bootleggers, now expanding their trade, is to make it criminal for one to even offer to buy whiskey. The drys in their legislative proposal would make a prima facie case against a man or woman caught in the act of rendering money to bootlegger for a pint of whiskey.
 The "wets" on all sides are fairly aghast at the bold measures which are to be pressed in Congress. 1t IS an open secret that they have been urged to adopt these tactics by gov ernment enforcement officials. These officers have made an utter failure of enforcement. The most extreme measures have been adopted as the only expedient left to check wave of whiskey frauds and bootlegging upon a scale which even the most optimis- tic drys never believed possible.

FOR FIVE HOURS
 POLICE BALk MOB
Five Hundred Men Besieged Police Station at Augusta, Kas., Seeking Two Men-Detective Probably
 Fatally Shot.

Augusta, Kas., Feb. 13.-For five hours tonight the police station here was besieged by mob estimated to number five hundred persons, demand ing the release of prisoner and the surrendering to them of a detective who had probably fatally shot one man in an attempt to place three under sr- rest last night.
 The shooting that led to the trouble tonight occurred in front of the o. K. hotel, to which place Detectives Ol Rogers and Jesse Gernstad had been called to arrest Charles Foreman, an oil field worker, his brother, Everett, and Lee Howells. According to Claude C. Wheat, chief of police, Detectives Rogers reported that Charles Fore man struck him when an arrest was attempted. In the resulting struggle foreman received a shot thru his ab- domen. He was rushed to a hospital. Where 1t IS reported the man is dying. The brother was placed under arrest ana placed In jail. Today, the third man, Howells, was taken into custody.
 Passed Liquor Among Members.
 All day today rumors of trouble were heard, and about 6 o'clock to- night persons began gathering about the police station, and re-enforcements continually arrived.
 The police force, finding itself un- able to cope with the situation was strengthened by officers from nearby towns m Butler county at the call of Chef Wheat. Other deputies were sworn III until a force of twenty or more was gathered within the police station, heavily armed While whis- Key was being passed among members o1 the gradually growing mob across the street, the officers took up stat tions to repel an anticipated attack.
 Emboldened by the liquor, leaders of the mob short time later launched a sally against the station, but were re- pulsed by the garrison within led bv Chief Wheat, armed with a shotgun. But, while able to keep the crowd. fast becoming ugly in mood. the police force lacked strength of numbers to disperse the crowd
 Many Persons Quit the Mob.
 But time acted as a sedative and de- sertions from the ranks of the mob be- came numerous
 About II o'clock, after five hours of siege, Sheriff Nest Purcell of Butler county addressed the mob and nre. vailed upon. them to depart.
 But whether their departure means an end to the trouble is not at all cer- tain; Chief Wheat learned that many of the men had gone to Browntown 2 town nearby, to tank up on whiskevs and expressed the opinion that fbev would return early in the morning
 So he and the garrison of Rnfiar county deputies, heavily armed w;th Ilnes, shotguns and pistols, are stand Ing guard at police headquarters.

SCIENCE OUTDoEs SOLOMON.
Child's Percentage Decided by Blood
 Test in San Francisco Case.

San Francisco, Feb. 13.-Medical jurisprudence, as practised in San Francisco, has vied with Solomon's re- nowned test to establish the parent age of child.
 Recently Mrs. Rose Vittori brought an action to compel her former hus- band, Paul Vittori, to pay for the maintenance of her child. Vittori de- nied his paternity. Counsel agreed in court to subject the disputed matter to science in the form of a blood test of Vittori and of the child, and Judge Thomas F. Graham announced he would abide by the decision.
 Dr. Albert Abrams was named to make the tests. Today he announced his investigation determined absolute ly that Vittori was the father of the child
 Judge Graham said tonight he would enter an order that Vittori pay for the child's support as soon as the report of Dr. Abrams was brought be- fore him in open court. sT consider this one of the biggest things estab- lished by medical science in years. T he said, and added that the case con stituted an important legal precedent.
