Prohibition enforcement

Richmond Va, May h. Special -
Recent past activities and present or
ganization Of the State Department OF
Prohibition, as given out from the
office of the Commissioner are OF pub
Tic interest:
The last General Assembly appro-
priated $40 600 year for the Depart
ment, and under the plan OF enforce
ment Just adopted four field directing
agents have been selected. These will
operate in the Southwest, in the South
side, in the Valley and in the eastern
section of the State.
The field attorneys are employed to
assist the Commonwealths' Attorneys
in prosecutions. These men are not
sent to a court unless request is
filed from the prosecuting officer OF
the county.
The Department desires to emphasize
especially one duty of the field direct
ing agent. This is to investigate com
plants relative to Indifference and nom
enforcement of the prohibition laws
by local officials. Where sufficient
evidence is forthcoming, the Custer
Law will be enforced in these cases.
Section SIS of the Mapp Act reads as
follows
at shall be the duty of all
chiefs Of police, police boards,
police justices, special officers,
sheriffs, attorneys Of the Com
monwealth, deputies, consta-
bles, and justices of the peace
of the counties and cities, and
all mayors, sergeants and their
deputies, justices of the peace
and police of the cities and
towns of this State to enforce
all of the provisions of this Act,
and the neglect, failure or re-
fusal of such officers so to do
shall be deemed misfeasance in
| Office

Father of Telephone
Is Less Vain Than
Many Subscribers

Washington, March 3.-Telephone
companies, their officials say, have
two special kinds of vanities to deal
with among subscribers. one is pos
sessed. by those who desire special dis
tinctive mum bers and the other by
those who wish their names to appear
just sO-and-so in the directory.
The National GeOgra phic society,
which has been depressing a bit from
its accustomed paths to study the sub
Ject, has found, however, that Alexan-
der Graham Bell, the inventor of the
telephone. who today celebrated his
seventy-fifth birthday, possesses Meth
er of these vanities. The geographic
society pointed out that the father Of
the telephone appears thus in, the
Washington directory:
Conn. Avenue. Franklin S."
The geographic society in connection
with Doctor Bells birthday also is
authority for the statement that the
aged inventor, who still works in his
laboratory daily. often until or 4
O'Clock in the morning, asserted mod
estly the other day to a group of Of
fcials Of the United States patent
office:
Il rather think that you know more
about the telephone today than do"
He then called attention to the more
than 5000 patents relating to tele-
phones since he obtained the original
patents in 1876.

WILLS MAY MEET DEMPSEY
Negro Heavyweight To Be Pointed for
Title Bout, Jack Agrees.

New York. March 3.-Harry Wills,
New Orleans, negro heavyweight, is
to be pointed. as result of his victory
over Kid Norfolk last night, for a
title match with Jack Dempsey.
Norfolk. a Baltimore product, went
to the canvas after &c seconds of box
ing in the second round of his match
with Wills last night. Several per-
sons claimed to have seen the blow
which sent the kid" down. but it
escaped the notice of a majority of
those at the ringside.
After a tame first round Wills and
Norfolk started and missed a few
punches in the second, then fell into
a clinch. The referee made an effort
to separate them when Norfolk top
pied over backwards. landing on his
shoulders. He arose and walked to
his corner, apparently unhurt, after
taking the count.
Wills and the referee, kid Nc
Phartland, said the knockout blow
was q short inside right to the jaw
Dempsey last night again expressed
his Willingness to defend his title
against Wills and Governor Edwards
of New Jersey, said he would approve
such a match in his state if the pub
lie dema nded it.
