CHARLES ROGERS
SENT TO PRISON
Man Halted Here Draws
Three Years Term on
Theft Charge.
BLAMES "MOONSHINE"
''MOONSHINE"
Tells Sheriff MOOnshine Liquor
Caused His Downfall by
Driving Him to Crime.

1t was a sad Christmas day (Tues-
day. for Charles Rogers, the former
Union Grove man who was arrested
here several days ago by the police on
charges of having stolen a truck and
2 truckload of meat. He spent the day
in the Racine county jail bordering
over three-year prison term i'm
posed on him by Judge Burgess in the
Municipal court after he had admitted
his guilt.
Rogers is the same man who only
few months ago was acquitted in the
circuit court of Kenosha county on
charge of manslaughter, growing out
of an automobile accident on the Bur-
lington road in which Clarence Jen-
sen, motorcyclist, was killed when
struck by truck driven by Rogers.
Investigation of that episode proved
that he had taken that truck without
permission.
Halted in Kenosha.
The theft for which he has now been
sentenced to three years iFA--the~4state
prison at Waupun took place on the
night of Decebber the 18th when he
entered the barn of Earl Vyvyan at
Union Grove and helped himself to a
truck filled with dressed hogs and some
beef. He told Racine county officials
that he had sold the meat to a meat
market in Kenosha located at the cor
ner of Sheridan road and Grand ave-
nue. stating that he had pretended that
the meat was his own.
Several days ago the Kenosha police
halted Rogers while he was driving the
truck in question and smelling a rat"
carried on an investigation with the
result that Rogers was turned over to
the sheriff here and later to officials
at Amigo where he was wanted on a
serious charge against a girl. Au-
thorities at Amigo finally agreed to
release him to the Racine county Off
Gals on an agreement that if he was
found not guilty on the larceny charge
he should be returned to Amigo to face
the charges against him in that city.
Blames "Moonshine'' for Fall.
Rogers blamed "moonshine liquor"
for his downfall On his way back to
Racine from Amigo he confessed to
Deputy Sheriff Derricks of Racine of
the theft bIt claimed that he had been
driven to the theft by moonshine.
Rogers became we'll acquainted with
Kenosha county jail officials during the
time that he was awaiting trial on the
charge of manslaughter in connection
with the accident several months ago.
He had been unable to secure bail and
had been held in default of bonds I'M
til the case was tried. At the jail here
he proved a good prisoner, once refus-
ing to escape when two other prison
ers sawed their way out of Jail.
He has wife and one child. 1t is
expected that he will be taken to pris-

VENIZELOS BACK TO
SAVE GREEK NATION
Former Premier Accepts Call and
Will Leave for Athens on
December 18th.

Athens - Former Premier Venizelos,
who is leaving Marseilles for Athens
on December 20, has requested Colonel
Plastiras to prevent public reception
on the ground that it is uniting that
the statesman's homecoming should as
sumo "a triumphant public character"
which would injure the purpose of his
return. In case his wishes cannot be
carried out, NJ. VeniHelos asks that he
be landed at sec1y port from which
he proposes to moas4 to a night con-
ference with Colonel Plastiras on the
outskirts Of Athens.
Former General Danglis has receiv-
ed telegram from Venizelos in which
the latter advises the liberal party to
proceed with the election of their
leader inasmuch as he cannot accept
the honor owing to the temporary ma
ture of his soiourn in Greece. New
ertheless liberal circles hope that Ven
izelos eventually can be persuaded to
form a government despite the fact
that he has assured the country his
return will only be temporary and that
he is coming to act as guide and adj
wiser in the political crisis.
The reunion of the Greek nation is
regarded as difficult task which only
a politician of Venizelos' ability can
perhaps achieve. Many observers
think that his desire to render his
country such service now impels
him to come back to her at the pres
ent juncture.

and ships upon the rocks, where they
sank.

Mellon Declares it Imprac-
ticable to Use Other
Federal Ships.
SAYS "UNECONOMIC"
Secretary However Tells Brook
Iyn Editor that Coast Guard
Will Be Reinforced.

New York City - Reinforcement of
the coast guard rum blockade with
shipping board craft, navy destroyers,
eagle boats, or submarine chasers
would be impractical and uneconom-
ical, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
says in letter received today by H.
M. Crist, managing editor of The
Brooklyn Eagle.
The COVER mt contemplates
strengthening the coast guard, Mr..
Mellon says, mot only for work in
connection with the prevention of
smuggling, but also for relief and res
cue work at sea-" He expresses a be-
lief, however, that new and specially
designed craft must be built for that
purpose.
Mr.. Melons letter was in reply to
suggestion he received from Mr..
Crist that vessels of the navy or the
shipping board not now in use might
be turned over to the coast guard, for
use in stemming the illegal flow of
liquor from the sea- Such an arrange
ment, Mr.. Crist believed, would make
it unnecessary for Mr.. Mellon to ask
congress for an appropriation for coast
guard cutters.
Have Studied Plan.
The treasury department. and the
commandant of the coast guard have
studied the practicability from tech
nical and economic standpoints of
transferring certain classes of naval
vessels to the coast patrol service, Mr..
Mellon said.
Although it is generally known, he
says, that the navy has a considerable
number of idle destroyers, these
crafts, 800 feet or more in length,
$4,000 horsepower and 81 knots speed,
would cost too much to put in commits
sion and operate as rum chasers and
would be too light for regular coast
guard duty.
Eagle Boats Out of Service.
Eagle boats built by the navy dur
ing the war and since out of commits
sion are described by Mr. Mellon as
ga highly specialized class of vessels
intended for certain definite duties,
which experience has demonstrated are
utterly unsuited to the work of the
coast guard.
Submarine chasers also have been
proven, according to Mr.. Mellon, to be
"ill-adapted for coast guard purposes,
expensive to operate, unreliable and
unsatisfactory" Considering fuel
costs and the men needed to man them,
the sub chasers are mot nearly so
economical as the class of motor boats
the coast guard desires to obtain"
Il may say that the plan proposed
for the augmentation of the coast
guard contemplates the acquisition
from the navy department of such
miscellaneous vessels as can be spared
and made suitable for the work the
coast guard is called upon to perform"
the letter continues, vessels of the
shipping board are completely insult
able, chiefly because of their size and
cost of operation"

HOLIDAY TRUCE In
BOOTLEGGING PROBE
Plenty of Scandal Crops Out Despite
Truce in Probe of Alleged Boot
leg Ring in Washington.

Washington, D. C. - Though holt
day truce prevailed today in the in
vestigation of the capitals bootleg
scandal, there was abundant evidence
that further disclosures were in pros
pect and that the trial of the missing
list of $500 rum customers had not
been abandoned.
DESPITE announcement by Elmer
Trey, chief Of the Intelligence corps of
the internal revenue bureau chat the
immunity of diplomatic Liquor which
the police attempted to seize had been
definitely established, police officials
declared their intention of following
up that feature of the case until a
more satisfactory explanation has been
made.
Commissioner Oyster OF the District
of Columbia police department, said
he would ask for definite ruling on
the extent to which diplomatic i'm
munity carried. He is awaiting a re-
port, he said, from the internal rev.
enue bureau. In their raids on the
bootleg ring involved, the police en-
tered residence occupied by DR.. V.
Sokolowski, secretary of the Polish le-
cation, where they said about $4,000
worth of liquor was located. Immun-
ity was granted on DR.. Dokolowski's
claim.
Mr.. Oyster also announced today
that should the list of customers be
necessary to prosecution of the case,
he would take steps to bring it to
light.
A similar effort is expected to be
made by the district attorneys office
which has promised to prosecute those
shown to be liquor purchasers.

Morristown, N. Efforts are be-
ing made to retry Francis Kluxen, 10
year-old boy, who year ago last July
was acquitted of the murder of Janet
Lawrence, a school girl.
County Prosecutor James H. Bolitho
has filed with the Morris county CLERK
an application for records of the trial
as a preliminary step.
The prosecutor said today that the
jury had been summoned from the
wrong county and therefore Kluxen
would not be in jeopardy twice for the
same offense, in the legal sense, if he
should be tried again.
After his acquittal Kluxen was
taken under the patronage of Mcneil
SayIe, wealthy Madison, N. j., bache-
lor, who last Friday filed papers for
his adoption. On Sunday, MIR. Sayre
stated that the rector and yestrymen
Of Grace Episcopal church of Madison
had closed the church to the boy be-
cause of his past. This was later
denied.
