BRITISH FORBID PLACING
RADIO OUTFITS IN PUBS"

Public houses in England, or in
other words saloons. have been for
hidden, to install radio sets to regale
their customers with concerts and
beer simultaneously. This informa-
ton came semi-oftieially to Washing
ton for use OF American manufacture
ers OF radio apparatus whose market
is to be thus cireumscribed. Radio
sets in public houses, the law justices
at Manchester rule, according to the
reports, turn them into a different
place of entertainment than the Ii
cense allows the owner to maintain.
He must either get a special license,
the decision ran, or quit selling intoxi-
cants. Lawyers for the keeper OF the
public house at the trial OF the test
case cited an ancient precedent which
allows a clarinet player to stick his
horn through the door OF the public
house without the keeper having a
permit, but the court ruled it out.

SOURCE HOLLYWOOD BOOZE
LOCATED IN VANCOUVER

Prohibition Chief H. II. Dolly, who
is investigating the movie booze ring
OF Hollywood, has followed a lead in
the trail of the bootleggers to Van
couver, B. C., and has gone to that
city to investigate.
The booze ring is said to be coast
wide in its operations. Since the cap
ture OF eight alleged bootleggers and
a large amount OF bonded stuff which
was being landed at Long Beach last
week, Dolly has obtained much valu-
able information as to the workings of
the ring, he declared. He will confer
with authorities in Seattle, Portland
and San Francisco in connection with
the supposed ramihcations OF the ring
in those cities.
One of the eight men who are I'M
der arrest and who have been ar
raigned, seven of them being held in
Jail in lieu of $4,000 bail, is Jack Mil
Ter, said TO be treasurer OF the indie
pendent Exports. Ltd, of Vancouver.
1t is alleged that this concern ships
huge quantities of liquor. ostensibly
destined for the little port OF Ensen-
ada, Lower California.

DRIVE ON BOOTLEGGERS
BRINGS SLUMP IN CRIME
Reno, Nevada, Has SIS Arrests in
First FL Days of March, For
merly was 800 Month
NO ARRESTS IN 3 DAYS
Decrease Said to Be Result of
Drive on Bootleggers by Fed
eral Agents and Police.

The Reno, Ney., Evening Gazette of
March p says if police records are a
criterion, Reno has hit the sawdust
trial. For three days the police blotter
would indicate that the city has been
progressing along the narrow confines
of the path Of rectitudc and righteous
ness. There hasn't been an arrest in
all that time and unless business picks
up for the policemen the month Of
March, 1923, will nave a history. The
records show that only IS arrests we're
made during the first Il days OF the
month while the monthly average is
200 or better. Last month was con-
sidercd quiet from a police standpoint
for there we're only 90 arrests in %
days. The period since the first of
March has been notable for the small
number OF persons arrested for drunk
enness. Perhaps the recent drive on
the bootleggers by the federal officers
and the police is responsible for this
condition.
One case was heard in police court
last Monday morning Since that time
il has not been necessary to convene
the court During the summer of 1922
the number of arrests each month
ranged around 800.
