SAYS BEER WITH KICK DANGEROUS AS M OON N Fl
Health Commissioner Points Out Danger Of Poison In
 Home Brew

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-There is a greater evil in the beer with kick" than in moonshine whisky, according to bulletin issued by Dr. Herbert N. Bundesen, Chicago commissioner of health. Both the bootleggers real" beer, illicitly manufactured and sold, and the home brew. surrep- titiously concocted in cellar and at tic. contain many dangerous poisons, the bulletin stated.
 Haste and improper methods of brewing produce a variety of poisons in improperly made beer, according to the bulletin. Numerous cases of metal poisoning have been traced di- rectly to illicitly made "rear' beer or beer to which a spike" has been added, Dr. Bundeson said. Home brew may contain arsenic, lead and copper in sufficient quantities to pro- duce violent Illness and even death, he said.
 Ether and denatured alcohol are frequently added as q spike" 10 near beer by bootleggers, who sell the adulterated product as real beer the bulletin stated. Drinking such beer restricts effort of will.

CHARGES REDS. AIDED IN WAR
 ON MINE UNION
Speaker For United Mine Workers Says Communists
 Given Encouragement By
 Non-Union Coal Operators
 BITTER ATTACK MADE ON MINE OWNERS IN REPLY
Alleges on-Union Barons Are As Anxious As Com muniStS To Wreck And De- Stroy Mine Workers Union

WASHINGTON Oct. 7.-(By Asso- ciated Press. .)-Charging that ctm- munists and other destructive reds have received substantial encourage ment and aid from nonunion coal operators, Ellis Searles. representing the United Mine Workers union. to- day published a reply to the recent statement of John c. Brydon, pres ldent of the National Coal association which ridiculed the unions recent expose of communistic activities in the coal fields.
 At the same time. MT. Searles, in behalf of the union, proposed that a committee of the United States Sen ate make a thorough investigation of the subject and predicted if that were done. there are persons in and out of the coal industry who prob ably will feel like running for cover"
 Tt is significant" said MT. Searles. that the only attack upon the revelations contained in those articles came from the nOnunion coal operators who are managing and di- recting the National Coal assc citation. These nonunion operators as anxious as the CQIiIil ulllSAS u N CRN thbh hN stroy the United Mine Workers of America. Both are working to achieve the same purpose and the fact that these nonunion operators, headed by JChn c. Brydon. have thus joined hanGJ with the communists and rushed to their defense has done ml oh to confirm the well grounded belief among the union miners. that the communists and other destructive reds have received substantial en- eouragement and aid from nonunion coal operators in their various ac- tivities. Numerous depredatic ns in stigated by and directly traeeable to the..eoinmupist, have been reported in NJ Brydo1's own field in the nom union country of Somerset, Pa, and when the union offeredfto cooperate with him in an effort to run down and apprehend the perpetrators tf these crimes MT. Brydon ignored it's letter and refused to answer. This Is one straw which shows why these criminals in MT. Brydon't own field have not been caught.

Says Menu On LeuiGthan Is Greek 10 Hin,

WASHINGTON. Oct. 7-(By Associated Press -Representa- tive Fred A. Britten of Illinois wants to know why a hungry passenger on the Leviathan with an appetite for dishes of calves liver has to order foie de veau ct fine herbes ct larde, and he has put 1t squarely up to Chairman Farley of the shipping board.
 Why" asked the Illinois con gressman in letter to the chairman today, "why make chicken hash impossible by eall- ing it haricots de volatile aux maquereau yerts2"
 MT. Britten recently returned from trip abroad. and told MT. Farley the food on the Leviathan menu was excellent, but only a portion of the walters and 3 per cent of the passengers knew what it was all about. Even the head waiter, he said, apologized for his failure to properly inter pret an order for 'gigot de paul. liac boulangere, and persons wanting eggs had a hard time choosing between "ouef bTou- file aux rognons" at 70 cents and "ouef eocotte a la creme" at 40 cents.
 The fish course, MT. Britten said, offered a fine aggregation of unpronounceable dishes at reasonable prices, but he doubt ed if even so well known an epi- cure "as you, my dear Farley" could intelligently choose be- tween "marquereau grille buerre danchois" at 80 cents and "mer- lans en lorgnette" at 70.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Oct. 7.- Legislators from all over the state were arriving at the capitol Sunday night, with the announced intentit Il of attending the special session of the lower house called for October II by Governor J. c. Walton Saturday night.
 An unfathomable air of secrecy hangs about tho headquarters of the legislators which have been estab- lished in the SlSirvin hotel. w. D. Melee, their spokesman, and who is slated to be chosen speaker for the special session, continues to maintain a strict silence.
 It was learned from good author jty, however that the solons first want to make sure the session will be legal before they make definite what they will do. when they get there.
 Lawmakers Arrive.
 Twenty lawmakers are already here and more are expected to be present when an informal caucus is to be held Monday to discuss the un- place in tho last few days in the chief executives continuation of his fight on the Ku KluX Klan.
 The governors action Saturday night was seen as spectacular move to prevent his impeachment, which was under consideration by tho so- Ions who had called a meeting for October IT, tL consider "impeachable offenses against officers of the state.'
 Walton is expected to meet the challenging attitude of his enemies in the house by making them consider the evidence against the hooded or gaaization's activities which his mi 'itary boards throughout the state Ina compiled in their probes. a Eski Martial Law, ssa....
 hT5leh Blake. executive coun- seIor Sunday night predicted that martial law, which was declared throughout the state three weeks ago soon will be lifted. He refused to however. upon what author ity he bases his prediction.
 .n -ao meantime, Walton calmly awaits the approaching meeting. He denies he has called the special ses- sion with inte.-t tions of preventing the legislators from impeaching him.
 T want to do only what is for the best interest of the state,' he said. "It is my opinion that the Ku Klux lSlj,n does not belong in this or any other state is a menace to any gov ernment and shLu Luld be fought until it flnely loses it's power"
