good Pennsylvania whisky belonging to
distillers in this State was shipped to
France just before national prohibition
went into effect
The idea was 10 sell the liouor

AT present bootleg prices for un-
adulterated whisky in large quantities,
the $4,000 barrels, eacn containing an
average Of fifty gallons. is worth
$1,000 a barrel, or S3I .5GO 900. This
vast quantity of rye. amounting to
5,OOO,O0O quarts, enough to float n fo-
tilla of yachts. was the greatest single
collection of liquor sent out of the
country, and it all came from Pennsyl-
vana.
To date. tenth of this liquor has
been returned To this country and is
now warehoused at Eddington. An
other 1000 gallons We're on its way here
when such great hue and cry was
raised by the more ardent drys that
Commissioner Haynes. in whose discre-
tion the matter rested. ordered that
the liquor be diverted and it was sent
on wireless orders to the Bahamas,
where it now reposes.
The record shows that numerous
warehouses have been robbed in various
parts of the United States since the
Wills-Campbell act went into effect.
Proving that warehouse is robbed by
collusion is difficult matter. and the
act provides that unless collusion can
be established no internal revenue taxes
on the stolen liquor can be collected.
Nicholas ". Brooks, Of the special
Treasury Agent office. in Philadelphia,
was asked how the two paragraphs in
the Wills Campbell measure affected the
Pennsylvania distillers and liquor IN
terests.
All | can say is" said Mr. Brooks.
that the act speaks plainly for itself.
II is not at all ambiguous. The nom
taxing feature as applied TO liquor
stolen from Government warehouses
would appear to put premium upon

countries. especially those adjacent to

cial interests In Russia. yesterday forced
The Hague conference to form sub COM
missions of thirteen instead of eleven
members, as had been planned by the

This is interpreted by all the dele

important discussions by the greater
Powers. but as manifesting eagerness
about the future of the disorga nized
Russian State. The pressure surprised
everybody by its force. ....
