ROCKY ROAD AHEAD OF
LIQUOR CARRYING AUTOS

Director J. A. Linville of Oregon
advises Commissioner Haynes that he
has begun relentless campaign of
oonhseation of automobiles used in
transporting liquors because of the
subterfuge adopted by the boot
leggers whereby they conspire with
other persons to present priority
claims upon the machines and thus
obtain possession of them. Whether
the liquor is being transported for
commercial or purely personal use
will make no difference in case of
arrest of the driver. The law
recognizes no difference in the use to
which the liquor is being put. Dir
rector Linville anticipates opposition
OF dealers who sell machines on the
installment plan, but such persons are
warned to inquire into the character
OF the customer before letting the car
out of their garage or store-room as
the car is automatically forfeited to
the government if found being used
in violating the enforcement laws.

the Episcopal Church, "Jack ashore
who years ago figured in fiction at
least as one of the best little imbibers
OF "grog" has changed his ways to

The New York Institute reflects
the activities of those at Philadelphia,
New Orleans, San Francisco and
other places according to the issued
statement, so that it is fair to assume
that the sailor ON shore leave has
been a heavy patronizer of the soda
fountains everywhere.
The report of the Institute shows
that during the year the fountain in
the hall of the Institute sold 477,60s
ice cream sodas.

AMERICAN Eating HABITS

Since hotel bars have been closed,
it is observed that eating habits of
American hotel guests have been
changed, declared c. H. Harrington,
New York caterer in attendance at
the International Stewards convention
in ST. Louis last week.
The lobster supper patron, he said,
the Beau Brummel who dined on
chicken la king in brief the evening
trade, has vanished. Instead the de-
mand is for the heavy meal or the
table d'hote dinner.
This change has been met by hotels
by featuring club breakfasts, hearty
lunches and special combinations of
popular dishes for dinner. Instead of
renting a guest room and expecting
the guests patronage at meal time as
was formerly the case, more and more
the hotels are changing for room and
breakfast or room and dinner.
In other words. the Motel owners are
adopting the old American hotel plan,
continued Mr.. Harrington, who was
backed up in the opinion by Leo Alsup
of Forth Worth, Texas, commercial
manager of string of hotels in Texas
and Oklahoma. Mr.. Alsup declared
that the American plan already had

WINNER ADOPTS CLEVER SCHEME
Unsoid Stock of Wine Renamed and
Price Slashcd Deeply to Effect
Sale

A special copyright Paris dispatch
in the New York Hehald under date
OF August 20 relates how one French
manufacturer of wine has resorted to
n novel ruse to keep his employees
busy, 1t is explained that since the
United States is no longer a liberal
patron of French wines, producers are
finding business dull This manu-
facturer noting his annual sales had
dropped off about so per cent, says
this dispatch, decided that this year
he would bottle only one-half of his
output under the usual label. This
was sold in the big restaurants and
in the night life palaces of Paris and
other large cities at so francs a bottle.
The remaining so per cent of his
stock without even being watered and
fully equal to the other in quality, he
put on the market bearing on its label
an unknown name, and this was sold
throughout the country at francs a
bottle. A clever salesman was sent
out and casually dropped hint to
buyers that they were getting the real
champagne and at one tenth price.
His colleagues are threatening to Dust
hm from the wine growers syndicate
but legal opinion is that he is strictly
within his rights, All his overhead
expenses are covered in the sale OF the
cheap bottles and his profits come
from the sale of the high-prieed
bottles and his employees are kept
busy.

HAYNES SCORES
HOME TIPPLERS
Tells Churehmen They Are Greatest
Menace to Enforcement of
the Dry Law
lBy a Special Correspondent


Winona Lake, Ind, September q
Roy A. Haynes, Federal Prohibition
Commissioner. in an address before
the International conference of the
Disciples Church today, drew attention
to the fact that the greatest menace to
the enforcement of Prohibition does
not lie in the men who are positively
hostile to the Nolstead law, but in
those who, while agreeing with the
law in principle, are in the habit of
using liquor in their homes and clubs.
This practice, the commissioner
said, had tendency to set bad ex-
ample before those who witnessed it,
and the speaker said the present time
was very critical, and the forces of
Prohibition were now, more than ever,
in need of the support OF all those
who believed in obeying the laws OF
the land
In conclusion, the speaker noted a
few alleged results OF the Volstead
law
More than 10000 convictions for
the violation Of this law have been OBJ
tanned in Federal courts during the
last year." he said, and the legal con.
sumptien of red liquor has been re-
duced from i3e,0oo.ooe gallons to
about 100000 gallons"
No statistics, he explained, were
available on the illegal consumption
OF liquor. The commissioner placed
the total amount of fines for violation
OF the liquor laws received by tho
government this year at $o2,000,0o0,
and asserted that drunkenness had
decreased 60 per cent, the open saloon
and the town bum having practically
disappeared from our cities.

CHICAGO BREWERS WORK
SAME OLD SKIN GAME
Beer-makers Charged With Put
ting Up Cool Million for
Protection
PROTECTION SIS PER BBL.
Charges Being Investigated by
Special Deputies of U. S.
Government

The Chicago Daily News OF August
20 says that graft scandals involving
million dollars and more paid by Chi
cago brewers through prominent local
politicians and lawyers for protection
in the manufacture and sale of FIVE per
cent beer and the sale of more potent
liquors, are shortly to be made
public.
Charges that the protection rate
demanded by the politicians has
risen from FIVE dollars barrel to
fifteen dollars a barrel, SO that the
saloonkeeper must pay fifty dollars
barrel for beer that cost ten dollars
before Prohibition, is only small
part of the report which Hinton 6.
Clabaugh has prepared, says the
News. This report was made after
an exhaustive investigation by the
former Chicago chief of the bureau Of
investigation of the Department Of
Justice into alleged irregularities in
conducting the office of United States
District Attorney Chales F. Clyne.
His investigation was made at the
instance of Attorney General Harry
NJ. Daugherty under the immediate
supervision of Attorneys E. 3. Toll
man and John R. Montgomery. These
men were assigned by Mr. Daugherty
to act as special assistant for the pur-
pose.
Investigators say that the use and
sale in Chicago and vicinity of real
beer has been proved. Furthermore
light has been thrown upon reasons
why a certain group of brewcries
have dared to make beer and sell it i'll
defiance OF the Volstead act.
According to the evidence the
brewery generally sells the beer to a
trusted agent for $50 barrel The
agent sells it to the saloenkeeper for
$50, and out of his $40 margin pays
expense for hauling and some smaller
incidental protection necessary after
it leaves the brewery. Protection
money is paid by the breweries,
usually SIS. barrel.
The Investigators say there is a
clear division into two groups among
the breweries and agents in Chicago.
One group led by Schltz, Schoen-
hocfen, Anheuser- Busch, and Pabst
brewing companies, condemn the
illegal traffic in real beer and refuse
to make any of it or be party to
any deal with politicians for protec-
ton. Among the law violating
bfeweries are those which operate
spasmodically and others continue
almost as regularly and openly as if
they we're operating under the law.
Attorney General Daugherty has
made it clear that evidence and report
of the Investigation shall be made
public and consequently many po-
liticians are in a decidedly nervous
state of mind.

Law Enforcement

A Wilmington, Del, dispatch of
August 90 says that Henry R. Isaacs,
Democratic state chairman, in a public
statement came out fat-footed for dry
platform and dry candidates for United
States Senator and Representatives,
Chairman Isaacs said in his statement:
Probably no subject has been
more talked of than the question of
law enforcement The subject has
invariably directed it.elf to the
liquor laws. The question
is burning one and my appraisal
of the popular Judgment is that it
must be dealt with justly and cour-
ageously. What attitude should the
platform of the Democratic Party
take upon this problem'
"The party that insists in its
platform merely upon law enforce
ment says only what js trite and in
fact sidesteps the crux of the ques-
ton as it presents itself to the rank
and file, viz, as to whether the pres
ent Prohibition laws shall he al
tered so as to make them more
liberal from the standpoint of the
manufacturer and seller of in
toXieants.
Every good citizen must favor
enforcement of the law. I hope
the convention will take positive
stand not only for law enforcement
but also against the enactment of
any amendment or alteration of
present laws by which their present
force will be disabled or weakened.
at is absolutely clear in my
mind that the sale of light wines
and beer will bring about immedi-
ately the establishment of sa-
hons as heretofore with their usual
accompaniment of excessive drink
ers.
am convinced that the great ma
jority of people of Delaware do not
favor saloons. 1t follows that the
sale of light wines and beer would
not only accomplish the restoration
of the saloon but would almost
certainly bring about the restora-
ton of the worst type of saloon
