CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Georges Glenn
enceau, Frances wartime premier, pre-
pared to take the road again today on
his self-imposed mission of winning
American support for France.
The next stop on his itinerary is
Springfield, ILL.,, where he was sched-
uled TO lay a wreath on Lincoln's tomb
and deliver brief eulogy this after
noon. He is due in st. Louis for his
next big speech tomorrow. The Tiger
rose early to board his private car
which was attached to a 10 O'Clock
train. He did not rise as early as
his customary o'clock. Last night
he dissipated, staying up until IL. max
ing his last public appearance at the
opera
He disclosed for the first time in
America mon tube'-his top hat. He
had declared in New York he could not
wear it because his soft one felt and

Clemenceau was given long ova-
ton when he entered The Potter Palm
er box at the end of the prologue to
"'The Snow Maiden" A few minutes
the curtain, rising on the set for the
first act, disclosed Eduardo Cotreuil,
French basso, holding big tri-color,
and Cyrena Van Gordon, draped in the
Stars and Stripes with the entire COM
pany behind them. Cotreuil sang 1.-THE
Marseillaise" and Won Gordon the Star
Spangled Banner.
When they had finished another long
wave of applause for the Tiger swept
the house and he rose and bowed again
Then he settled down and became so
interested in the opera that he stayed
until the end of the third act, nearly
half past ten.
Before he went to bed he dictated a
Thanksgiving message to America, de-
lclaring the reception he had received
and the interest with which his mes
sage had been heard gave him much to
be thankful for.

10000 PROHIBITION
CASES NOW PENDING
IN Federal COURTS
(By United Press)
Bv PAUL r, MALLON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 90.-The ex-
IRENE congestion of the prohibition
cases pending in the American courts,
enabling bootleggers to continue ILL
cit operations indefinitely, will be
placed before congress, it was learned
today.
President Harding now expects to
present in his formal message open
ing the regular session next week
some of the startling facts on the
situation which have been furnished
him by the department of justice.
These facts, obtained by the United
Press from the justice department,
are:
/. There are 10000 prohibition
cases now pending in federal courts
of the country; with more ptitng up
all the time.
2. This is twice as many as at this
time last year.
3. Despite the order of Attorney
General Daugherty to speed prosecu-
tions with all celebrity, it appears prob
able that some change of system must
be found.
4. The latest figures compiled ae-
curately are those of June 80, 1922
when 1918 criminal and 2,694 civil
prohibition suits were pending. These
compare with July l, 1921. when 10,472
criminal and 2,074 civil suits were on
the dockets.
Cases Increasing Rapidly.
On the basis of these figures, author
tiles OF the department now estimate
that the number will reach 10000 with
further increases every day.
With a continuance of this situation
in a few years, it will be practically
impossible to bring a bootlegger tc
Justice within number of years-ano
perhaps a life time-after he has been
arrested and released on bond.
Justice department officials are
cognizant OF the fact that this situa
ton has encoura ged bootleggers to re
sumo their operations Immediately aft
er they are arrested and released
Some cases have been reported where
a bootlegger had been arrested as many
as three times and had not yet beer
forced to trial for any of the charges
Some bootleggers have been enabled
TO continue their pending cases in
definitely. il is stated.
There is possibility thsr this situa
ton will result in some attempted leg
islation in this session of congress.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 30-Declaring
that the state tax board is looked up
on with as much disfavor as the Ro-
man tax gatherer was regarded by the
subjugated colonies of Rome, Charles
S. Bait, joint state senator from Terre
Haute today discussed his opinions on
various state problems.
He also condemned the highway and
the public service commissions and
school expenditures.

with the same authority it originally
had, having matters of appeal on val

the disagreement last night in Bureh's

Judge John w Shenek polled the jury

came after more than 90 hours had
passed since the case had been given
to the jury and six ballots had been
taken. The first was the same as the
last-seven to five for acquittal-the

Republicans joining the opposition and

IN FAVOR
OF LOCAL CONTROL
OF HIGHWAY FUNDS

Comment strongly favoring a sug-
gestion that county authorities should
have more control of the expenditure
of road funds. than is the case at pres
ent, is voiced by the farmers of the
county.
Il think that counties should have
more to say about the expenditure Of
road funds made up from taxes and
license fees collected within the coun-
ty," said Charles Williamson, who
lives on the Liberty pike, south of
Richmond
"If all money collected in a county
is spent there also, there is a posi-
bility of injustice, in giving some
counties with large cities, too large a
share while poorer counties, although
they will have just as large a road
system. may not get enough, as for
instance, some of the southern Indiana
counties. But / think at least a part
of the money collected in county
should be returned to it to spend
under local direction"
Pleas for more decentralization. and
a lessening of bureaucracy and admin
istrative expense were given by Henry
Bertsch and Lee Hartman, both OF
PerShing, in their argument Tor spend
ing road taxes in the same territory
where collected.
