"Two Purposes" Behind Inquiry.
There is behind this whole in

New York league just two purposes,
whether the officials making the in
vestigation know it or not. One is
to have the league officially declared
political organization, in the hope
thereby of shutting it out of the
churches that have timid preachers
or timid laymen. The second OBJ
jective is to open the books of the
Anti Saloon League to the inspection
of unfriendly public officials, who
may permit the names of subscribers

BURNING STAR RECORDED

Astronomers at Williams Bay,
Wis, Photograph Beta Ceti.
Get Little of Value.

By the Associated Press
WILLIAMS BAY, Wis. March g.
Efforts of astronomers at Yerkes
observatory here to photograph Beta
Ceti, the star reported burning up,
were partly successful just after sun
down last night, when, through a
hazy sky, the flaming atoms were
slightly visible for half an hour.
The stars were so low in the
heavens and so near the sun, how
ever, that it was impossible to deter
mine anything of value about it, ac-
cording to Edwin b. Frost, director of
the observatory. Astronomers in
Europe last week reported that Beta
Ceti, eighty light years removed from
the earth, had suddenly famed into
great brilliance, apparently as a re-
suit of some celestial collision. The
star is more than 462,328 billion
miles from the earth.
The observatory took several photo
graphs of the eclipse of the moon for
purposes of record, but does not ex-
pect to find anything new on them.
