Star reporter this morning, there amt

The inspector had just returned from
a western trip extending over a period
of a month. and his remark about pro-
hibition had reference to cities along
the Pacific coast.
IN the western cities" the inspector
said. prohibition work is confined al
most exclusively to revenue agents, the
city police paying practically no atten-
ton to dry law violations. 1 believe

Francisco, and learned from him that
he had confessed" to having mur-
dered William H. Mickle in this city
eleven years ago under the belief that
he would be returned here and even
tually be released.
Gleason gave the name Of J. c. Nor

It was while in jail at Los Angeles
that the prisoner concocted the
scheme to win his liberty. He had

about eleven years ago when the
murder was committed. He was not
familiar with the details Of the crime,
however and was unable to tell much
Of the crime to California officers who
questioned him.
Speaking Of narcotics, Inspector
Grant said he saw many evidences Of
the widespread use of them along the
coast. Police along the coast expert

cotic situation, he said, and he told of

tice when he refused to accept ST.
100000 as his share in the estate of
his father. James A. Garland of Bos-

rENNYsoN AS A HOUSE HUNTER

From "My Tennysons," by William Harris
 Arnold, in Scribner's.
 Tennyson and his bride began housekeeping in the little village of Warninglid, Sussex But one night storm blew down part of the wall of their bedroom and through the gap "the wind raved and the water rushed" Moreover, they now learned that the dining room and their bedroom had been a Roman Catholic chapel and that baby was buried somewhere on the premises and, later, that notorious thief and murderer had once made the house His home. The nearest doctor and butcher were seven miles away. Altogether these tra- ditions and conditions were too much for the newly wed, so they soon moved to Twicken- ham, where they found comfort and conven- fence.
 After two years the Tennysons again decided to seek new domicile In letter I have that was written to his friend Flowers it ap- pears the task was not an easy one, for the poet says:
 q am so engaged in flying about the coun- try in this wretched househunting business now in Sussex, now in Worcestershire or Yorkshire that never can be sure of my whereabouts a day before hand"
 At last permanent home was found in Far ringford, situated near the village of Fresh water the Isle of Wight. A few miles away lived Sir John simeon, highly esteemed by the poet as friend and critic.
 About this time "Maud" was begun. The poem was first printed in what Mr. Wise calls a prenatal" edition of which no copy can now be traced Fortunately, one, which had been sent by Tennyson to Coventry Patmore in order that the latter might have an opportunity to prepare an early and well-considefed re- view, was seen by MT. Wise before Patmore destroyed it in accordance with Tennyson's in- junction to Burn or Return"

DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Senator Borah is quoted as saying that the Dyer anti-lynching bill would be declared unconstitutional by the United States supreme court if passed by Congress. However, MT. Borah announced that the Senate judiciary committee of which he is member, would frame law which would stand the test of the courts"
 The Dyer bill conflicts with states rights, and that is the chief objection to it. MT. Borah is one of the ablest men in the Senate, but it is unlikely that he or anyone else could devise federal statute to prevent lynching which would not interfere with the police powers of the several states.
 In the meantime, while pressure is being brought to bear on Congress by colored poli- ticians and organizations opposed to lynching, this form of lawlessness continues unabated. Just recently there have been occurrences whose savage barbarity has never been ex- ceeded in the jungles of Africa.
 No matter what may be said against fed eral lynching law, agitation for such a meas ure will be justified as long the states are unable unwilling to check mob violence.

VEGETABLES CONSTITUTE A VALUABLE CROP

Because they are sold in small quantities at a time it requires the experts of the agri- cultural department to inform the nation of the value of the so-called by-products of the farm compared with the great staples.
 The department of agriculture tells us that the value of vegetables grown in the United States in 1921 was more than $1,000, ,000, ,000. The Irish potato crop alone was valued at nearly $400, ,Oo0, and the sweet potato crop at sS7 100000.
 The value of vegetables was S5 per cent of the value of corn, almost as large as that of hay and the forage crops, larger than the cot ton crop and 50 per cent larger than spring and winter wheat crops.

$15 each Their original face value was $1, ,oo0 and the, unwary were easily beguiled. Even small banks were victimized.
 It may'not do any good to expose the trick cry of '%wildcatters" in and out of Wall street. The number of people who want to get something for nothing is so large that swindling will always be one of the most profitable pursuits known to mankind.
 The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific com pany, which replaced the old Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company, would like to know the source of boom in these worthless securities.

rRIcKERY IN SILK HOSE

From the New York Telegram.
 Quite the neatest of numerous tricks of the trade is one reported employed by the pur- veyors of silk stockings, whereby cheap and fragile textures are made to appear stout and strong.
 It is related that salesmen, to provesthesqual- ity of their product, will take an ordinary nail file and, after deftly inserting it inside the fabric, draw it rapidly along the ribs of the hose, producing screeching sound that is altoA gether convincing that the thread is resisting the rough steel.
 The truth is that only the smooth edge of the file is brought in contact with the fabric. The trick will work with the most fragile materials.
 So milady, when the salesman produces his little nail file to show you how stout and strong are his wares, do not be deceived. The nail file trick is good one, but it is trick just the same.

MOB VIOLENCE ARousEs WRATH

From the DeKalb County Herald
 Citizens in all parts of the state are justly indignant over the severe beating given Dr. J. D. Bowling by mob in Birmingham one night last week, when he was lured from his home under the pretense that he give first aid to an injured person on the roadside. Since the doctor is health officer, he must have in the discharge of his duties aroused the anger of the mob and they, too cowardly to meet him man to man, took this method to vent their anger. It is high time for the press of Alabama to condemn such methods. It is the duty of newspapers to endeavor to sup press such spirit, for mob violence is far too prevalent. In Birmingham alone half dozen men have received similar fate, and every means should be taken to eliminate such prac- tices.
 Every paper in the city is aroused over the act and number of mass meetings have been held to devise methods for experimenting the

JOHN DANIELS AUTOPSY
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 It is just thirteen months since the gorilla John Daniels died in his bed in room in the Madison Square Tower, while his former Eng fish nurse was hurrying across the water in the hope of saving him. He was only about four and half years old at the time, very few other specimens ever having lived in captivity as long as he did.
 Upon his death his body was subjected to an autopsy by some of the country's most promi- nent medical specialists.
 Dr. Tilney, who made a special study of Johns brain, rates it at ST on the same scale on which he rated the brain of two-year-old child at 91. Nearly as far behind John Daniel as John was behind the baby he placed the chimpanzee, with rating of 83 F. From dis cussing the shape of the brain and its relation to impulses and muscular control he passed on to a few general remarks about the habits of gorillas as observed by those who had cared for them in captivity. They showed he said, tendency to moroseness, but learned quickly and well, and apparently became attached to individuals.
 During John Daniels life his keeper sured correspondents that John was given sherry and occasionally whisky and soda to help ward off his tendency to melancholia. This story contradcts the theory that. while chimpanzees like to get drunk, gorillas are strict prohibitionists. But, whatever the real reason for allowing John to violate the Vol stead act, he finally succumbed to the effects of melanchoa.
 His death has enriched science by furnish ing to specialists the opportunity of further verifying relationship that has been postulat- ed and generally accepted, but only rarely studied at first hand.
