ENFORCEMENT DRAWN TIGHTER
Another Dry Navy Established and
Cities Raided.

San Francisco, Jan. 27.-Prohibition
enforcement was being drawn tighter
on the Pacific coast tonight following
the visit of Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes and his staff.
Movements of enforcement officers,
designed to cut off the coasts supply of
liquor included:
Announcement Of the establishment
of dry navy" similar to the one now
operating on the Atlantic coast, with
headquarters at San Francisco and San
Pedro, Cal.
4 concerted drive to stop rum-runners
at the Mexican and Canadian borders.
Increased activity by flying sQuadrons
of raiding officers in several cities Of
the coast.
In addition to the federal drive to
enforce prohibition, state officers have
taken IN the cudgels against rum with
renewed vigor, operating under the new
~ passed state enforcement act. Many
arrests throughout the state have been
made during the last ten days by local
authorities.
Enforcement however. did not proceed
without setbacks. In Los Angeles four
prohibition agents were placed under
arrest and charged with brutally beating
persons whom they arrested.

when one of the children inquire plant

Rope Must Be Beaten.
Stephens family was visiting him
| Friday afternoon. They were talking
Of ordinary things, his prospects for
getting a feprieve or Communication OF
his sentence, application for which is
to be made to the governor. And a
few feet away, in the office of the
jailer lay the twO-inch hemp rope, coil
ed on the floor awaiting the arrival of
Fire Chief GOetZ, who was TO tie a knot
in either end. The rope had been boiled
for three and one-half hours Thursday.
1t ,cmed reluctant to dry out. this be-
ing necessary before it can be work
ed" Above the coil. hanging on the
east wall of the jailer's office was II
smaller coil, the moose which had
broken the neck of George Mckinley
Grace. hanged for criminal assault
upon a white woman. Only n few feet
of this rope was saved. it being ncces-
Sary to cut it because it drew so tightly
about the neck of the negro.
Several days will be required before
the two ropes which are TO be used in
the execution of stephens and ApOlinar
will be in the proper condition to per-
form the tasks which will be required
of them. After they dry out and the
knots are tied they must be worked"
This means that a man must beat them
against the cement floor for several
hours. This eliminates all loose strands
and softens their texture. When this
process is completed the ropes will
have shrunk considerably. measuring
possibly only an inch in circumference.
ApOlinar Is Silent.
Then they must be stretched to their
utmost. This requires that one end
must be tied to the steel ring in the
ceiling on the third - DOR. A 2OO-pound
sandbag is placed on the other emil.
Then the trap is sprung and the bag
sh, Is through space. If the rope is
the right length the bag will danglc
at its end, six inches above the second
floor, rs will the feet Of the two men
when they take their last plunge. This
operation is repeated several times and
the ropes are then laid away to await
the day of execution.
Apolinar stood in the corner Of his
death cell. peering out at the visitors
as they filed past to greet friends or
relatives in the run around" He stood
motionless, silent, his gaunt frame and
unshaven face silhouetted against
background of bars, giving an observer
the impression of a specter. Apolinar
is silent the most of the time He has
few visitors. his motEer. sister anil
brothers visiting him only once a week.
\ large part Of his time is spent in
sleeping.
Yet. he appears cheerful and Occa-
sionally speaks, in English, to his
guards or the jailer. Every other day
he is visited by priest. He reads very
little. however. At times he has become
very happy. his guards say, and even
passed funny remarks.
Yet Apolinar and stephens, con-
demned murderers. await death. which
only the governor of the state OF Texas
can stay.

FIRST SUSPECT IN
DOUBLE MURDER AT
WACO is RELEASED
Believe Bitter Hatred In
spired Holt-Dene-
camp Murders.

Waco Tex. Jan. 27.-Everett Smith.
first man TO be named by authorities in
connection with the murder and torture
Of Mrs. Ethel Jacobs Denecamp 81, and
W. f. Holt. 40, in lonely lane near
Waco. was free tonight.
Smith, detained since last Sunday
night, when he was taken in custody at
the home OF Mrs. Denecamp's mother,
Mrs. LOney Jacobs, was released on
500 bond after District Judge Richard
|. Munroe had granted an application
for writ of habeas corpus and set
Smiths hearing for next Tuesday the
day preceding a preliminary hearing
scheduled for Horace Bernard and Miss
Naomi Boucher. charged with murder in
connection with another unsolved Waco
murder mystery. the death of Grady
SkfpwOrth at Lovers Leap.
Another suspect is being held by po-
lice in the Holt-Denecamp case. and
Chief Of Police Lee Jenkins said to-
night the release of Smith who is a
railroad man, will not deter the officers
in their effort to clear up the killing
on the Springfield road.
With the robbery theory practically
abandoned. although Hollis person was
relieved of a large sum of money by
his assailants. officers adhere to the
theory that Holt was the victim Of
frame up inspired by war among
Central Texas bootleggers, and jealousy.
Mrs. Denecamp, whose husband was in
San Antonio when the tragedy took
place was killed to seal her lips, officers
believe.
That bitter hatred between Holt and
his alleged assaiants is seen by officers.
not only in the torturous manner in
which he apparently was handled by the
party or parties who attacked the cou-
pie, but in the fact that police claim to
have witnesses who will testify that a
suspect detained in connection with the
case had on more than one occasion,
threatened the life of Holt. This per-
son. according to officers, was found.
after the crime, to have a bloodstained
raincOat.
The bodies of Holt and Mrs. Dene-
camp showed evidence of brutal treat
ment at the hands Of thtir assailants.
Besides gunshot wounds. Mrs. Denecamp
had a deep cash in the back of her
head. cut by jagged rock found near
the scene. Holt was tied to the back of
an automobile by his feet and dragged |
around, his head and back scraping the !
ground in figure eight. officers state. !
The car was driven IN the continuous !
double circle so long that practically all |
skin and flesh had been torn from parts !
Of the body touching the earth.

1908 when he went in search of the un-

essential to his recovery.

to the attorney general. that his illness
would result in his resignation. 1t is
said that he desires to leave the cabinet,
in order to recOup his personal finances,
and that he will not delay the work Of
his department by leaving the office vir-

report was that he would retire soon
after the House cxonerated him Of the

Essen, Jan. 27.-Communist process

reds tried TO break into districts where
French troops were garrisoned.
Rumors of serious trouble swept the
CITY. Threatening crowds yelled ana

lice cordons were thrown across side
streets leading TO where the French sol

sInflammatOry speeches were made
and the red flag was displayed by the

THE railway system around the city

Germany replied by threatening to

In pursuance Of this policy, coal
