TOLLS DEATH KNELL
FOR ALL HOMEBREW
Federal Prohibition Enforcement Of
ficer Declares War on Home
Brew Connections Today.

The death knell of what federal
prohibition officials term an Indoor
sport" more commonly known as
home brewing, has been sounded, ac-
cording to James A. Stone, director
in Wisconsin, in a statement based on
reports of the recent conference Of
Roy A. Haynes, national prohibition
commissioner, his directors and divi-
sional chiefs, and Assistant Attorney
General Willebrandt of the depart
ment of justice, held at Washington.
Edgar N. Read, Mr.. Stones associate
director, attended the conference.
More stringent enforcement of
regulations regarding the manufact-
ure and sale of beer were decided
upon," the statement says. Cereal
beverage manufacture hereafter will
be required to indicate on packages
and containers the name and address
of the manufacturer and alcoholic
content. This, we hope, will reduce
the number of home brewers, to a
minimum.
1ooE Hesu1tS5 EeWarulng perSplrlng
efforts over smelly connections, are
killing the home brew menace. The
kick in most instances is caused by
the off-products of fermentation or
the presence of ptomaines. Mash in
many instances is composed of bana-
ma skins, muskmelon rinds, and potato
pairing. Some of the home brew has
enough kick to put the worst tenn
pered mule to shame.
"Stills confscated in some sections
contained over two inches of filth
and vermin in the bottom and reeked
so with sickening odors that even
agents were unable to complete their

POLICE WOMAN
ON THE WARPATH
Declares in Chicago That She Has
Been a Victim of Persecution
by Racine Business Men.
tRy Associated Press Leased wire.l

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.(
Chicago, IllAMrs. Alma Longgale,
ertswhile 'strong woman" of the vau-
deville stage and more recently police
woman at Racine, Wis, is leaving
that city, she declared today, the vic
tim of persecution.
Prominent business men of Racine
have been mentioned in anonymous
charges incident to Mrs. Longgales
departure.
AS she prepared to leave Racine,
Mrs. Longgale vigorously denied that
she has made her home rendezvous
for business men and girls as charg-
ed in mysterious telephone calls and
unsigned messages which have some
Racine wives up in arms.
Mrs. Longgale said that vaudeville
pictures of her costumed in a leo
pard skin, had been distributed by
her enemies.
"The charge is true that Mr.. Long
gale, who left town last Easter, had
not been divorced from his first wife
when he married me-" she said, "but
was innocent of any knowledge of
the first wife's existence and so can
not be blamed for that"

England Not to Enter Re
ciprOcal Agreement for
Search and Seizure.
OPPOSES SMUGGLING
While Unwilling to Enter Com.
pact, England Voices It's
Strong Opposition.
(By Associated Press Leased wirs.)


Washington.-Great Britain, in
communication delivered today to the
state department, is understood to have
declined to agree to the suggestion of
Secretary Hughes for a reciprocal
agreement for the extension of the
right of search and seizure so as to
give the American prohibition navy
jurisdiction outside the Smile limit.
At the same time the British foreign
office assured the American government
that every precaution would be taken
to prevent violation of the American
prohibition law by rum smuggling I'M
der the British flag. It was said that
Canada and other port officials had
been instructed to prevent so far as
possible the issuance of fraudulent
clearance papers and other improper
practices complained of in Secretary
Hughes prohibition note.
Presented by Ambassador.
The British communication, in reply
to the one sent to London by the state
department several weeks ago, was pre-
sented to Secretary Hughes by the
British ambassador, Sir Auckland Ged-
des. Although department officials
would npt discuss the subject, there
were Indications that the refusal to
accord a reciprocal right of search out
side the usual limits of territorial wat
ers would be considered as finally
blocking any extension of such author
ity to prohibition officers.
Orders are already in effect direct
ing the prohibition navy not to operate
outside the 3-mile line except in the
case of vessels in communication with
the shore by means Of their own small
boats, and it has been the apparent
belief of administration officials that
no extension would be in accordance
with international practice unless it
were made so by some such specific
agreement as that proposed by Hughes.
Answer is Emphatic.
Details of the British rejoinder were
not revealed, but it was indicated that
the foreign office had replied in detail
to the protest made by the United
States against the alleged use of double
clearance papers by some British ves-
sells to circumvent the ban against
liquor Importation.
The declination of the British gov
eminent to assent to an extension Of
jurisdiction through the establishment
of reciprocal zones, in which British
and American shipping would be re-
spectively subject to search by Ameri-
can and British authorities is under
stood to have been based on the con-
tention that such a step would not only
be out of harmony with established
maritime practices but would set
precedent which might infringe on the
doctrine of freedom of the seas.

Land Owners Warned
to Mend Ways Now
by Associated Press.l


London.-The big landowners of
England have been told, in substance,
that as class they have made bad
mess of the land business, and that If
they did not do better in the future
the country would take the land from
them and turn them adrift,
The speaker was Lord Bledisloe,
himself a big landowner, who during
the war helped the government manage
the food supplies of the country. The
occasion was an address before the
British Association.
"The British agricultural landowner
today is on his trial." Lord Bledisloe
asserted. I "Unless he justifes himself
as such, the naturalization of the land
is inevitable Public opinion will de-
mand his extinction, and parliament
will endorse the demand.
MANY landowners have been for two
generations nothing more than rent re-
ceivers, and they have possessed nei-
Their the knowledge nor the incilinatian
personally to administer their own es-
tates, still less to cultivate them on
commercial lines for their own and
the nations benefit.
$50 far is they have been organized
as a class of the community they have
been organized not as producers OF
wealth, but as defenders of property
and as such their organization has, in
a highly democratic country, afforded
them but a small and steadily decreas-
ing measure of security. They have
thus lost their political power because
they had no economic basis. They have
not wholly without justification, been
stigmatized as ignorant, reactionary
and despotic."

Sheriff Rauen,
Dear Sir:
A friend of mine in Racine has sent
me a piece from a Kenosha paper
| about the mysterious grave west of
Somers. Since she knew it was my
mothers grave she forwarded the
clipping to me.
My mother was buried there in 1910,
leaving only my father and myself. Ny
father went to Denmark about six
months after she was buried; so the
grave has not been filled in all of
these years. I was there some years
ago and planted few flowers on it.
About three months ago my husband
and the whole family were there. We
carried dirt from the side of the road
to fill in the grave and put headstone
on it.
Wants Dirt Replaced.
Is the grave you refer to on the west
side in the last row along the fence
If it is, it is my mothers grave and
if you disturbed it, 1 wish you would
fix it up the way it was because
can't get up there to do it myself. If
you do not believe that it is my moth
er's grave, l will give you my fathers
name so that you can inquire about
him. His name is Charles Jensen; we
once lived on the Balm farm and once
on the Bullamore farm west of Som
ers. My name before was married
was Louise Jensen; my married name
is Louise Turner. Please find out
about this as it was shock to me to
learn of the situation. Let me know
as soon as possible and oblige,
Mrs. Louise Turner,
Highwood, Illinois"
Postscript Describes Marker.
In a poscript to the letter the mark
er placed at the head of the grave is
described.
"The marker is cross made of
terra Gotta, painted white with
green wreath on it," says the post
script. "At the foot @of the grave
there is small poplar tree"
Sheriff Rauen declared that q letter
would be written explaining that the
grave of the mother had not been dis
turbed and showing how the daughter
had mistaken the sunken grave for
that of her mother.
The mystery will now become clos
ed chapter in the official records OF
the sheriff's office and of the office OF
the county coroner, who with the dis
trict attorneys office took part in the
probe of the mystery.

It is. expected that the case of the
state against Frank Constantine will

Husband Secured Divorce.
Mrs. Tizzi's troubles commenced
about two years ago, at which time
her husband sought to gain a divorce
from her. Tizzi is known as a good
man, a steady adnd reliable worker,
but about two years ago he found that
a shadow had crossed the happy thres-
hold of his home. This shadow was
cast by the figure of another man,
Frank Constantine, who was named
by Tizzi as the one who had gained
his wife's affections. The Tizzis had
two childen at that time, and Tizzi
maintained that he was the father of
only the first born, and that he had
discovered that the other man was the
father of the second child.
While the proceedings for divorce
were underway, the couple were
reconciled by others for the sake of
the children. They made another at
tempt at domesticity, and promised
each other that mutual trust and
faithfulness on which marital happi-
ness depends. The reconciliation
was short-lived. Again the shadow
of the "other man" was observed to
darken the threshold and threw it's
sinister influence upon the little
family.
Tizzi came into the courts again
demanding a divorce. After the usu-
al investigation of the case, and
hearing in the municipal court, a d.
vorce was granted Tizzi, on the show
ing of the unfaithfulness of his wife
Tilzzi was ordered to pay for the
maintenance of the family. et
Meanwhile the situation was COM
plicated by the birth of third child
to Mrs. Tizzi. She had been divorc-
ed by her husband when this untoward
event took place. Application was
made to Tizzi for the support of the
child, and he refused, maintaining
that it was not his son. During the
various non-support hearings, Mrs.
Tizzi was brought into court and
questioned closely as to her relations
with her husband and with Frank Con-
stantino. She finally admitted that
the new baby was Constantino's child
and that the second child, born during
her union with Tizzi, was also the
child of Frank Constantine.
Constantine Repudiates Her Story.
Frank Constantine, however, plead
ed not guilty when brought into court
and charged with non-support of the
two children alleged to be his own.
Mrs. Tizzi found herself in the help
less and forlorn condition of being
deserted by her husband for unfaith-
fulness to him, and deserted also by
the man to whom it was alleged she
had given her affection.
Meanwhile the city had had to pay
for the support of thee two younger
children, whom Tizzi repudiates as
his and whom Constantine refuses to
admit belong to him.
Mrs. Tizzi's fearful story is that
she cared for her husband, but that
Constantine, under threats, forced his
way to her while she was still married
to Frank TIKI, and compelled her to
submit to his wooing.
The case is one of the first of the
kind to be tried in Kenosha county,
for the establishment of the father
hood of a child by another other
than the husband.
