Congressman Says Prohibition
Has Destroyed National
Morality in U. S.
BY F. A. WRAY,
international News Service.

LONDON, May 4.-Congressmar
George Holden Tinkham, of Massa
chusetts, in an interview here to-
day, made a bitter attack upon
American prohibition.
Prohibition in the United States
has destroyed national morality,
said Tinkham. ut has almost
abolished respect for the law by in
Producing systematic bribery.
Prohibition is interfering de-
structively with the administration
"Civic order has not been pro.
NOTED. There has been no reduc-
ton in murder, lynchings or the
major crimes. On the contrary,
statistics disclose there has been an
increase in crime. There are more
people in prison since prohibition
than ever before.
''Much of the trouble with labor
in the United States can be traced
to resentment over prohibition. Di-
vorces and domestic infelicity have
Increased under prohibition

The majority opinion as reflected in the
editorial columns of the daily press seems to
line up with Labor rather than with Judge
Gary in this heated controversy.
Secretary of Labor Davis, in a report to
President Harding, says: "It is unnecessary
to point out the evil of throwing open the
gates at time of prosperity in order to flood
the country with workers and non-workers
whose very presence would serve to bring
prosperity to an end"
All sides of this important question, which
undoubtedly will be carried into Congress, are
presented in THE LITERARY DIGEST this
week, May 5.
Some of the other important articles in
THE DIGEST are:

3 SMALL BOYS .HoLD-UP
GROCERY PROPRIETOR

Reports of a daring hold-up sent
detectives from the Central office
and reserves from the Fourth pre-
cinct scurrying to the grocery store
conducted by Abraham Deskin,
Second and B streets southwest,
last night.
Investigation revealed that three
small colored boys entered the place
and asked for change for quarter.
While the grocer was engaged in
getting the change one of the boys
struck him over the head with a
length of pipe. Becoming fright
ened at the grocer's groans the
boys fled.
Another boy who entered shortly
afterward saw blood running down
'Deskin's face and he reported the
matter to the police.

A Big Fight Looms
Over immigration

JUDGE GARY, of the United States Steel
corporation, said a few days ago that
America is faced by shortage of labor due
principally to the laws restricting immigra-
ton. These laws, as passed, are the worst
things that ever happened to this country
economically. There is great abundance Of
labor on the other side of the water that
would be glad to come over and develop our
resources" In a later statement he explained
that he does not defend unrestricted immi-
grafton but that he would have the restric-
lions so modified that the number allowed
to come here should be equal to the necessi:
ties of our industries" Judge Gary is sup
ported in his contention by the leading finan-
cial papers.

Swindler of Aliens at
Ellis Island Is Jailed

New York.-One of the petty swim
dlers who prey upon incoming aliens
as they land from Ellis Island was
temporarily eliminated recently when
Theodore Lavoise of 468 Eighth ave-
nue. pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to go days in the workhouse. He
was accused of using his familiarity
with five languages to lead immigrants
into the hands of taxicab drivers who
would charge them exorbitant fees.
Lavoise had been convicted previ-
ously IA times, according to detectives.
He was sent to Sing Sing for three
years in 1912 for running down and
killing a woman as he drove his car
while intoxicated. In 1915 he was sent
up for four years for assaulting an i'm
migrant.
Immigrant Commissioner Henry Fl.
Curran is leading vigorous fight to
protect incoming aliens against such
schemes as that admitted by Lavoise-

TWO GILL DREN LOST ON
MOUNTAIN THREE DAYS
Kidnapping Rumors Send Thou
sands of Kentucky Coal Miners
to Searching Hills.

Corbin, Ky.-In a hollow log in the
Kentucky mountains two lost children
were found at night by a posse of
searchers. They were Ernest and
Gladys Manning, four and three years
old respectively, who had been missing
for three days. They are children of
Ansel Manning, a coal miner of Pack
ard, KY.
Playing Indian, the children had
wandered away from home. At night
they found refuge in a hollow log
When found they were fainting with
hunger and numbed by the cold.
The entire countryside was reused
by the disappearance of the children.
Some one said they had been kidnapped
by a man who took them north in an
automobile, and garage man reported
that the trio had stopped at his place
for gasoline.
All activity in the mining town of
Packard was suspended and the popu-
lace organized into posses which pur-
sued the imaginary automobile, while
others searched the woods. Twenty
five hundred coal miners and noun
taineers engaged in the hunt, which
extended 40 miles in every direction
from the little town.
The children were back in the little
mountain cottage of their parents
shortly after being found, tired but
happy. They were examined by doc
tor, who said they probably would suf-
fer no Ill effects from their escapade.

Engiand's Most Famous Duel.
One of England's most famous duels
was between Lord Byron, grand
uncle of the poet, and Mr.. Chau-
vert, in 1865. The affair followed
trivial argument in a tavern. Chauvert
was run through and killed. Byron
was tried by jury Of his peers, was
found guilty and was required to "pay
the usual fees"

that contributes greatly to the humor
of the famous play. George Garrick,
an actor and brother of David Gar

shots with the irate husband Of a wom-

missed, leaving Garricl1 with the
privilege of firing as deliberately as

Burr and Hamilton.
The most famous duel in this cOun-
Try was that between Alexander Ham

public resentment that followed Ham

Trivial causes often resulted In

There have been strange duels. A
