big STRIDES TAKEN
IN ENFORCEMENT OF
PROHIBITION, Haynes
fRv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-"Be of
good cheer" was Prohibition Commits
sioner Haynes Christmas message to-
day to friends of the 18th amendment,
in which he declared the success at
tanned in prohibition enforcement
gave every reason for "hopefulness,
qualification and congratulations"
do not be deceived nor dismayed,"
said Mr.. Haynes, "by a nationwide
program of Misrepresentation, con-
stituting as it does the most preten-
tious, most pernicious propaganda to
undermine enforcement since the en-
actment of the amendment.
Admitting, of course. that there
are violations of the Volstead act
unfortunately by some who hold them
selves above the law-the fact can
not and will not be conScientiously
denied that the past year has been
marked with rapid strides toward the
same degree of enforcement of this
law as obtains in respect to all other
laws, none of which is enforced 100
per cent"
Cites Other Reasons
Citing the abolishment of the open
saloon as sufficient reason in itself
for good cheer" other reasons Mr..
HAYNES said were an awakening on
the part of high officials-federal,
state, county and municipal P'-result-
ing in more impartial observance of
the law and greater respect for the
constitution by all classes" greater
activity of state and other enforce
ment agencies; reduction in the
available beverage supply of bonded
liquor and in liquor smuggling, and
the fact that the 'home brew fad is
taking final gasps."
Furthermore, the fact is self-evi-
dent" said Commissioner Haynes,
that real liquor is almost impossible
to obtain at any price, and when
drinkers fully realize that the average
bootleg product is dangerous to life
and health the law will, to an in
creased extent, enforce itself"

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 23.-Ross Dem
mis-, paymaster for the Pittsburgh
Coal company, was mortally wounded
and $4,000 stolen by masked bandits
on a lonely road 10 miles south of this
city today.
The robbers escaped Dennis died
while being taken to a hospital. Den
mis- was riding on motorcycle in
front of an automobile which carried
the Christmas payroll for the Harrison
mine at Beading, and was guarded
by company clerks.
As they drove through a hollow in
a hill, two masked men stepped into
the road, and without warning emp
tied their shotguns at Dennis, who was
knocked off his machine. They were
quickly joined by four other masked
men who opened fire on the automo-
bile, damaging the steering wheel.
Shoots Man in Back
They drove the clerks from the car,
and while one seized the money others
were busy wrecking the mechanism of
the car and the motorcycle. At that
moment one of them noticed that
Dennis, who was bleeding from doz-
en- buckshot wounds, was trying to
draw his pistol. The bandit ran OF
him, rolled him over and fired his
shotgun into Dennis's back. Almost
Immediately a big automobile came
tearing down the road, and stopping,
picked up the bandits and the money
and drove rapidly away.
The sheriffs of Allegheny and Wash
ington counties sent posses to the
scene of the robbery while Pittsburgh
policemen were stationed on all roads
leading into the city.

BLOODY CHRISTMAS
FEARED IN IRELAND,
TAKE DRASTIC STEPS
By GEORGE a. MacDoNAGH

DUBLIN, Dec. 23.-Persons on rail-
way property without authorization
were ordered shot on sight by the Free
State today as the result of fresh out
break of incendiarism and bombing by
republican insurgents.
A bloody Christmas was feared as
the rebels ignored an ultimatum that
four of their number now in prison and
condemned to death would be eXecut-
ed if outrages continue. Free state
troops continued to storm Republican
strongholds, casualties resulting.
Eight civilians including a mother
and daughter were wounded when in
surgents in a motor lorry raced
through Cork bombing the streets. One
man was killed and two women and a
Free State private were wounded when
government troops attacked armed reb-
els in a Dorset street stronghold.
In the face of these disorders the
Free State took most drastic steps to
protect the railways. Rebels threat
ened a Christmas offensive to demor-
alize traffic.
Troops Assigned
Blockhouses were established along
the right of way at intervals of every
two miles. and 200 troops were as
signed to each.
Rebels have raided trains at Four
Corners in South Ireland in the last
"a hours.
The Free States was today reported
ready to offer amnesty to imprisoned
insurgents, providing the latter take
oath not to again bear arms against
the government and accept the cur
few order.
Many rebel leaders predicted this
would be met by definite defiance
from the men in prison.
Refusal to lift the curfew for the
holiday celebration was strongly pro-
tested by Cardinal Logue. The re-
striction would prohibit midnight
Christmas mass. but the cardinal de-
clared it would be celebrated regard
/ less.

GRAIN DEALERS
FLEECE FARMERS
OF HUGE SUMS

The Federal Trade Commission has
just reported its findings on specula.
tive grain marketing, pursuant 10 a
congressional resolution passed last
December through the efforts Of SEN
ator iadd Of North Dakota. The
Trade Commission examined the
books of all the big grain dealers,
with the exception Of several Balti-
more exporters who refused IL access
10 their records. The Investigations
revealed that the white e-handed gem
tlemen who market the farmers
grain" made an average net profit
of IS per cent on their capital stock,
surplus and reserves for 1920, and Of
30 per cent In 1921. The Commission
reports THE average profit Of wheat
exporters In 1920 was nearly ) cents
a bushel." While the 1921 average
was lower, yet some Of the concerns
turned their money over more than
100 times a year" The Trade Com
mission also found that the grain ex-
porters we're so closely joined togeth-
er that eight large concerns handle
more than 30 per cent Of our entire
wheat exports.
The findings fthe Federal Trade
Commission show that these few big
exporting firms took over $4,000, 600
from the American farmers last year
for marketing their wheat" on a
