Industry Evolved By
 Bootleggers

Washington, Feb. 2-(By the A. P.) -BootleggerS throughout the country are evolving a new industry, the rec tfication of denatured acohol, prohi bition officials said today, which probably will necessitate a complete revision of the governments system of distribution.
 said, that some of the government formulae for industrial alcohol lend themselves ready to rectification, so that illicit liquor dealers are obtain ing the denatured spirits under gov ernment permits and by various pro- cesses rend dering it more or less drink able.
 Unusually large quantities of indus trial alcohol, officials declared, have been withdrawn in some localities ps- tensibly for use in the manufacture of ybarbers' supplies and toilet prepa- rations. but after being subjected to chemical processes have found their way into the channels of the bootleg trade.
 Revision of the present permit sys- tenn now in vogue is understood to be under consideration. Prohibition of flcia1s throughout the country, are of the workings of the present permit system in the light of law enforce ment and are eNpertSS to submit to headquarterS their suggestion for combating the industrial alcohol angle of the bootleg problem There have been some suggestions. it is un- derstood, of shortening the life of the existing 90 day permits for the han ding of industrial alcohol, and of establishments to which permits would be issued

Fute Of Sim Fein Prisoners Doomed To
 Die, To Be Decided

to stay out of a united Irish parlia- ment, it must give it's assent to some re-arrangement of the boundaries that will leave to southern Ireland certain blocks of northern territory inhabited mainly by a population which refuses obedience to the northern govern ment that government receiving in exchange some bits of Ulster now in c1uded in southern Ireland where there is considerable Unionist popu- lation.
 Negotiations along these lines are admittedly delicate, for Sir James Craig, it is pointed out, will be sub ject to feproach if he agrees to part with territory to find it difficult to hand over to northern Ireland terri tory now included within southern Ireland's boundaries.
 The treaty provided a boundary commission to adjust the difficulty. but Messrs Craig and Collins recent 1y agreed to substitute for the com mission a friendly arrangement be- tween the two Irish sections them selves. This agreement, however has caused aprehensions among some of the northern Nationalist and Arthur Griffith, president of the DaiI Eireann, has been forced to make ii plain that failing a satisfa ctory, friendly agreement with the Ulster premier. the boundary commission in the treaty will be allowed to function.

Mellon Says Bonus Should Come From Special Taxes
Believes It Will Be I'm practicable To Depend
 On The Foreign Debt.

Secretary Mellon reiterated his be- lief that it would be impractcable to depend on the foreign dept d9r justed compensation plan because the revenue from that source is prob 1ematica1.
 These estimates of revenue from special sources were made by the secretary:
 One cent increase in first class post age, $7O,000,000; increased second class postage to. wipe out deficits in that branch of the post office depart ment, $3O,000,0O0.
 Increased cigarette tax, the increase amounting to 50 cents on 1000, $25,- 900.
 Increased tobacco tax, two cents pound, S5,00O,0OO.
 Increased documentary taxes, $4o,- 100000; tax of two cents on each bank check, $50, 100000.
 A license tax of 50 cents horse power on automobiles, $100, 100000.
 The total estimated return from these taxes was S300,0 100000.
 MT. Mel1en said theb onus would cost $425,000,O a year for the first two years and told the committee that it could extend the list of taxa ble sources to make up the deficiency. He made it clear that he was not recommending" any of the taxes suggested.
 The treasury secretary opposed a general sales tax on the ground Of the cost atd difficulty or admlnlStfa- ton.
 CT should say that we cannot in crease the taxes already in exist ence," said MT. Mel1en, "as they al- ready are as burdensome as should be borne. We should go further and find some broad class of a comm odity on which reasonable taxes would not bee too great a burden.
 ''I think that the use of the foreign debt for this purpose would be inn practicable. The foreign debt is very uncertain proposition and to un- dertake to use it for this purpose would lead to a great many difficult ties. It is. prob1ematical whether funds can beo btained within the time to meet the bonus.
 'EIt would be much better for us to provide the funds and collect the for eign debt as soon as possible, than to pledge that debt for something when we don't know what the source will yield.''

Belfast: Feb. 2-tBy the A. P.)- Several important questions were ava ning discussion by Michael Col Iins, head of the provisional govern ment and Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier at their meeting here to- day.
 Probably the most urgent was the fate of three Sim Fein prisoners un- der sentence of death in Londonderry jail. Had they been confined in southern Ireland these men would have been released under the Irish Anglo treaty's workings, but London derry is within the Ulster Jurisdiction. The execution of the men has been fixed for Feb. g and the scaffold is being erected in the prison.
 Premier Craig was to be asked to stop the executions.
 Londonderry is one of the towns where, in the opinion of southern Ire land, the tenure of the northern par nament cannot be prolonged It has a Nationalist majority in the city council and Nationalist mayor. while a considerable number even of the Unionists, feel that it's business prospects would be harmed if it were kept under the northern parliament and thus separated from Donegal, of which it is the real capital

E. H. Shaughnessy Had Excellent
 War Record

Chicago, Feb. 2-(By the A. P.)- E H. Shaughnessy, second assistant postmaster general who died in Washington today from injuries re- ceived in the Knickerbocker- theatre disaster, had an enviable railroad and war record before accepting the gov ernment position to improve facilities for rapid handling of the mails.
 He was born in Chicago in 1888. When Is years old he was made tick ct agent for the Chicago & North western railroad at Elgin, Ills, and had worked his way up to superin- tendent of that railroad when the world war broke out.
 He was commissioned a first lieu tenant in the 18th Railway Engineers and went overseas with that regiment. He served as superintendent of trans portation at Chateau Thiery ana later during the St. Mihie1 drive. was gen. eral superint endent of transportation at Ts-Sur-Tille. During the Argonne offensive he was general manager Of and by that time had been advanced to the rank of colonel.
 MT. Shaughnessy' death followed a sudden heart collapse. This was preceded by development of internal complications yesterday. He suf- juries. MT. Shaughnessy' wife and his ten year old daughter, Ruth, are being treated at another hospital, the daughter having had both arms broken, while Mrs. Shaughnessy is suffering from a fractured rib and shock.
 President Harding had shown con- stant concern over MT. Shaughnessy' s condition. The death of the second assistant postmaster general brings the fatality list of the disaster, as now recorded by the police up to 9S.
