 The director was asked what a ho- tel mans obligation was when he de- tected a guest in the act of pouring out liquor.
 Both MT Day and Mir. Harper seemed of the opinion that the thing to do in the absence of federal agents was to call in a policeman, as notice to the prohibition department could not bring a response until the follow ing morning
 Thrown Out of Court
 Two such arrests have been thrown out of the magistrates courts recent ly-after the edict.
 Detectives of Inspector Bolan's sta made arrests Wednesday night at Peters restaurant, 165 West Fifty ninth street and at the Carleton Ter race restaurant, tooth street and Broadway. Some 800 bottles of beer GO bottles of gin and a quantity of wine were seized

MURDER BLAMED 0N

Man, Mysteriously Slain, Found
 Near Queens Village

New York, Aug 25.-The body of an unidentified man was found in the woods near Queens Village L. l., yes terday by two motorists who had stopped to pick wild cherries. The police believe the murder was the result of a bootleggers quarrel, bas- ing their opinion on cards found in the pockets.
 The mans skull was crushed and an Indian club, blood stained, was found near. There were two stab wounds on the head, over the left eye an on the left side of the chin Another wound in the upper lip the police believe to have been made by a bullet.
 The body was found by Buddy Woerner and Gustave Eichholtz, both of SIS Jamaica avenue, Woodhaven. It lay in a small clearing about 300 feet from the Blackstump Road and 500 feet from the Rocky Hill Road At the morgue Dr. Gregerson of the Jamaica hospital said the man had been killed Wednesday night

DRY ARMY ROUTED
 IN FLASK BATTLE
New York Hip Drinkers Are as Active as Ever

New York, Aug. 25--The hippocke campaign-the latest prohibition bub ble-apparently has burst and gon skyward, The pocket flask, on tn, other hand is seemingly as deeply in trenched as ever.
 Prohibition Director Day admitted yesterday that in the week that ha. passed since the warning was issued to hotel managers and patrons Thurs day. not single arrest had beer made by his agents or violation re, ported by them. He said he had 2t or more agents out nightly.
 MT. Day called in Roscoe Harper acting head or the legal division, yes terday and the latter gave 1t as his opinion that convictions in either city or federal courts where the violation did not consist of carrying more than quart of liquor was exceedingly diff fcut.
 Another Ukase
 Another ukase was issued by the prohibition department yesterday to hotels whose patrons are suspected of drinking. Copies of three sections of the Volstead act were sent hotels with the suggestion that they be printed and placed on tables
 The sections are as follows:
 Sec. 3.-No person shall on or after the date when the eighteenth amend ment to the Constitution of the United States goes into effect, sell, barter transport, deliver, furnish or possess any intoxicating liquors.
 "a possession of liquors by any person not legally permitted under this title to possess liquor shall be prima faci evidence that such liquor is kept for the purpose of being sold, bartered, exchanged, given away, furnished or otherwise disposed of in violation of the provisions of this title.
 Sec. 29.-Any person who illegally possesses, transports, furnishes, de- livers or barters intoxicating liquor in violation of this act, if convicted, shall be fined for the first offense not less than S100 nor more than $1,0o0 or be imprisoned not more than 90 days"
 Suggests Warning
 In addition some such warning as the following is suggested
 Please do not ask for intoxicating liquors as we have none We earn estly request the cooperation of all our guests in seeing that no liquors are brought into or consumed upon these premises. It is illegal to trans port such prohibited beverages and the management assumes no respon- s1bility for anyone detected doing so" MT. Day said that managers to whom he had spoken have to date ex- pressed willingness to cooperate with

EASTON RAIDED BY
 75 "DRY" AGENTS
Penna. City Gets Wonderful Clean-u by Verftable Army of
 Prohibition Men.

Easton. Pa. Aug, 25-seventy-f Ave federal prohibition agents from Phfla- delphia and 25 state troops from Pottsville and Wyoming raided 42 places in this city yesterday. A large number of trucks were required to transport all the conhscated liquor back to Philadelphia. Several war rants were issued.
 The raids were said to have been the result of complaints to John R. Davis state prohibition director, that liquor was being sold to college stu dents and to minors MT. Davis said that after receiving the complaints his agents visited Easton and made more than 100 purchases that will be used as evidence
 The prohibition army assembled at Phillipsburg, N. J., and Hmarched across the bridge to Easton. They then divided into squads, and hastily scattered over the city.
 Easton was declared last night to be dry as Sahara"

that this cnuuily is through playing fairy god-nctheT

Couched in diplomatic language, the note never

not merely us but some Euro peans as well as Mr..
Hughes, having scarchingly examined the Cannes rcso-
luton which laid the ground work for the Italian gov

excluded from consideration without TIE satisfactory

how this latter is to be gained.

DON'T HAMsTRING THE RETAILER.

Every reputable business is built upon public con-
hdence. ii that confidence is destroyed, the chances are
the business also will soon be destroyed. In view Of
this, it seems that it would behoove tho Attorney-Gon-
eral Of the United States to be more careful in the
future as to what he has to say in regard 20 a class OF
lie has charged that the retailers have beer prohteer-
ing, yet so far he has not presented one iota of evidence
TO subtantiate his statements.
AS a matter of fact, the retailer. as has been
shown recently by merchants. has suffered severely
during the last several months. Very few, if auy, have
made more than a normal profit, many have made no
profit at all and many have suffered heavy losses.
Prices have been cut to rock hottom-at least SO far as
costs are concerned. OF course there are some lines in
the one at fault. He is entirely at the mercy of the
manufacturer. The retailer has cut his profit to the
bone.
In fact the keeness of American competition keeps
the retailer entirely within his bounds. He needs no
warning rrcHl the Attorney-General or anyone else
about cutting his profits. His competitors see to that.
Either he must cut his profits. or his competitors will
get the business away from him. OF course, there are
bad retailers and good retailers. just as there are bad
men and good men in III walks of life. But take them
as a class, and they stack UP with the best in every
community.
The retail merchants are cur own people. They
live among us; we know them and we have confidence
in them. They pay the taxes, they contribute to our
various philanthropic enterprises. they employ many
men and women, they Aoost-in short. they do the
things that are best for the community. They feel
situations of the Acknowledgement and they are asking
the public not to Judge them IN that light without some
evidence to corroborate the governments officers
charges. In short, they are asking only for a square
deal and it is more than likely that the great American
spirit OF fair play will see to it that it is accorded them.

MISDIRECTED ZEAL.

The parable of the unjust steward who was COM
mended for his zeal, although it was nm unworthy
cause is recalled by the words of William A. Maxwell.
first vice president of the Thomas A. Edison, Inc, who
in a lecture before the Harvard graduate school of bus
mess administration, held up the zeal of the bootleggers
as a model for the students.
His statement that statesmen engaged in illegiti-
mate pursuits are for the most part closer students OF
craftsmanship than are those engaged in selling merit
orious articles. and plan their approach and fellow
up much more carefully, than does the average legiti-
mate salesman, brings forcibly to mind the words OF
the parable:
For the children of this world are in their gener-
alton wiser than the children of light"
There seems to be something about a rascally
business that sharpens the wits, resulting in at least
c temporary success.

GOOD ADVICE FROM DAVIS.

Coal miners and operators ought to give heed to
the advice OF Secretary of Labor Davis, who urges
them in the interest of common sense to get together
and save the country the costly results of a strike"
But that is easier said than done. The operators
believe, or at least they so assert. that the only way to
get coal prices down TO a reasonab = level is by reduc-
ton of wages. The miners are just as firmly con-
