TRIALSOF DRY CHIEFS BEING
Held UP BY COURT CONGESTION

Atty. Gen. Daugherty passes respon-
sibility to district officials.
THE department of justice is most
anxious to see all prohibition cases expe-
dtted," says Daugherty. This depart
ment, however, cannot properly press fer
their trial to the prejudice of other eases
before the courts. Prohibition cases are
given places on the court calendar along
with the multitude of other eases await
in gtrial. The eXpediting of any partieu-
lar case is in the hands of the court and
the district attorney in that district and
not in this department"
Assistant Prohibition Commissioner
James Il. Jones says:
"The big reason for delay in prohibition
cases is that the federal courts are called
on to handle hundreds of cases that ought
tC be tried in the police courts. The re-
suit is congested calendars and intern1in-
able delay. My last information in the
Mcconnell case was that the Phiadel-
phia federal court expected to get it yet
this fall. I haven't heard what the
prospects are in the Hart case"
Some Convictions.
Records in the department of justice
show that to date five former prohibition
officials have been convicted and SEN
fenced in prohibition cases. They are:
Thomas Delaney, former prohibition di-
rector for Wisconsin, sentenced to two
years in prison and fined $4,000.
Joseph Ray, inspector under Delaney,
two wears in prison and $40, 600 fine.
Joseph p. ONciu, former inspector in
Delaney's cffiee, one year in prison and
s., 200 fine.
Joseph Custer, former deputy revenue
collector in Milwaukee, fined $4,000.
Robert L. crinniRn. former prohibition
director in Detroit, three years in prison.
The first four, along with 20 others not
federal agents were convicted following
an inquiry into a conspiracy for the fl
legal withdrawal and sale of liquor in
Milwaukee. crinnian was found guilty of
having accepted a bride to release liquor.

went TO the Spanish American War.

that Brookhart was made rifle instruc-

West Point staff officers that more
time should be spent in rifle training

The West Pointers laughed at the crude,
earnest lawyer much as the expert
politicians laughed at him.
Brookhart's turn came during the
World War. After the first American
troops went into action. Pershing wired
back that men should not be sent over

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.--If the plan
for cutting the cost Of milk distribution
discussed at the sixth annual meeting of
the National Milk Producers Federation
at Springfield, Mass, is carried out. it
will be the biggest cooperative under
taking America ever has known.
Too many links in the distribution
chain. each demanding it's profit, result
in the cost of milk to the consumer be-
ing more than double the price re-
ceived by the producer. BY eliminating
most, if not all, OF these middle links,
through cooperative marketing by the
milk producers themselves. it is be-
lieved a sufficient saving can be &C
complished to cut present prices to con-
sumner and still give the farmer a better
average price for his product than he
row receives.
Producers now belonging to the fed
Grafton number more than 200, 900 and
their annual milk output is worth be-
tween $500. 100000 and $500 900. 600
The producers also plan a battle
against high railway rates for carrying
milk. In its recent rate division, tho
