BOOZE GRAFT PROBE ON
Washington Is Investigating Prohi.
bition Scandal.

Washington, April 2e.-An inves.
tigation into the many charges that
graft is being practiced oncor among
federal prohibition agents has been
begun by the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, under which the prohibition unit
operates.
Treasury officials said today that
considerable data had been laid before
Commissioner Blair. but thus far the
inquiry has disclosed no losses to the
government.
There was no statement indicating
whether present agents of the prohi-
bition forces had been found guilty
of graft, but the information the
bureau has obtained has indicated, it
was said. that many former agents
had been able to obtain money through
Misrepresentation of their influence.
The investigation will continue I'M
til all the charges are sifted to the
bottom, but it was announced that
the internal revenue office would dis
close none of its information until
evidence warranting definite charges
had been obtained.

White Stockings. The cowboys great
steed was no 1.-the, slender-bodied mus
stang. He was charger, almost tre-
mendous of build, with black coat
family mottled in gray, and it shOne
like polished glass in the sun. Evil
IDENTIFY he had been carefully dressed
down for this occasion. for there was
no dust on him, nor kink in his beau
tiful name, nor a mark on his glossy
hide
"Come hyar, you son-of-a-gun," said
Stillwell.
The horse dropped his head, snorted,
and came obediently up. He was nei-
ther shy nor wild. Unlocking the STIR
rups from the pommel, Stillwel let
them fall and began to search the sad
die for something which he evidently
expected to find. Presently from some
where among the trappings he pro-
duced folded bit Of paper, and after
scrutinizing it handed it to AL.
Addressed to you; an I'll bet you
two bits know what's in it," he said
Alfred unfolded the letter, read it,
and then looked at Stillwell.
"Bill, you're a pretty good guesser.
Genes made for the border He sent

TONED, and wants my sister to have
him if she will accept"
"Any mertion of Danny Mains?"
asked the rvncher.

'"Thets bad. Gene'd know about
DanEy if anybody did. But he's a
close-mouthed cuss. SO he's sure hit
tin for Mexico. Wonder If Danny's
gOin', too? Wal, there's two of the
best cowmen ever seen. gone to HI,
an I'm sorry"
With that he bowed his head and,
grumbling to himself went into the
house. Alfred lifted the reins over
the head of the horse and, leading him
to Madeline, slipped the knot over her
arm and placed the letter In her hand.
Majesty, I'd accept the horse" he
said. Stewart Is only a cowboy now,
and as tough as any I've known. But
he comes Of good family. He was a
college man and gentleman once. He
went to the bad out here, like so many
fellows 20, like ! nearly did. Then
he had told me about his sister and
mother. He cared good deal for
them. I think he has been source of
unhappiness to them. 1t was mostly

when he was reminded Of this in some
way that he'd get drunk. I have al
ways stuck to him, and would do 80
yet If had chance. You read the
letter, sister, and accept the horse"
In silence Madeline bent her gaze
from her brothers face to the letter:
"Friend Al: I'm sending my horse
down to you because Pm going away
and haven't the nerve to take him
where he'd get hurt or fall into
strange hands.
"If you think it's all right, why, give
him to your sister with my respects.
But if you don't like the idea, AL. or
If she won't have him, then he's for
you. I'm hoping your sister will take
him. She'll be good to him, and she
can afford to take care Of him. And,
while I'm waiting to be plugged by
Greaser bullet, If I happen to have
picture in mind Of how she'll look
upon my horse, why, man, it's not
going to make any difference to you.
She needn't ever know 1t.
Between you and me, Al, don't let
her or Flo ride alone over Don Carlos
way. If l had time I could tell you
something about that slick Greaser.
And tell your sister, If there's ever
any reason for her to run away from
anybody when she's up on that roam,
just let her lean over and yell in his
ear. She'll find herself riding the
wind. So long.
GENE STEWART"
Madeline thoughtfully folded the
letter and murmured, "How he must
love his horse!"
'Well, l should say so," replied AL
fred. "Flo will tell you. She's the
only person Gene ever let ride that
horse. Well, sister mine, how about
twill you accept the horse"
"Assuredly. And very happy In
deed am I to get him. AL you said,
/ think, that Mr.. Stewart named him
after me-saw my nickname in the

"I'll gamble he'll make you forget

have to get on him from the porch"
Madeline led the horse to and fro,
and was delighted with his gentleness
She discovered that he did not need
to be led. He came at her call, fol-
lowed her like pet dog, rubbed his
black muzZle against her. Sometimes,
at the turns In their walk, he lifted
his head and with ears forward looked
up the trail by which he had come,
and beyond the foothills. He was
looking over the range. Someone was
calling to him, perhaps. from beyond
the mountains. Madeline liked him
the better for that memory, and pitied
the wayward cowboy who had parted
with his only possession for very
love Of It.
At supper-time Madeline was unusu.
ally thoughtful. Later, when they as
sembled on the porch to watch the
sunset, Stillwell's humorous COM
plalnings inspired the inception Of an
idea which flashed up In her mind
swift as lightning. And then by lis
tening sympathetically she encouraged
him to rec'te the troubles Of a poor
cattleman. They were many and long
and Interesting, and rather numbins
to the life of her inspired idea.
"Mr. Stilwel, could ranching here
on q large scale, with up-to-date meth
ods, be made-well. not profitable. ex-
actly, but to pay-to run without
loss?" she asked, determined to kill
her newborn idea at birth or else give
1t breath and hope Of life.

"Would you sell-if someone would

Maine Catholic
Bishop on Religious
Education in Schools

Portland, Maine, June 24-"The
time will come when our city. state
and country will be back where it
was 1O4 years ago when every insti-
tuition of learning was founded on a
religious basis" Rt. Rev. Louis S.
Walsh, Bishop of Portland, told the
graduates of seven Portland Catho-
lie schools at exercises today in City
Hall.
''Then the Lord was master of the
schools" he continued. "Over the
gate Of Harvard University. the old
est university in the country are the
words: -
"CHRISTO VERITAS."
Gin Christ there is truth)
'"These words should be craven over
the door of every New England
school,"
Bishop Walsh declared that the
present demand for religious edu-
cation in schools. colleges and uni
versities is triumph for the Catho-
lie where religion has always been
taught.
Bishop Walsh concluded:
Il hope the day never will come
when the flag will not protect the
cross: the cross and flag together
will make America go on and until
she shall have first place among the
nations of the world for joy and
peace.

p AUTOS Burn
IN $4,000 FIRE AT
HAMPTON BEACH

Hampton Beach, n H., June "a
Fire departments Of six cities and
towns fought early today to save
buildings in the congested section of
Hampton Beach when fire broke out
shortly before O'Clock in a garage
.. owned by Mrs. Laura Bristol. The
garage, housing % automobiles at the
time, was destroyed, a hotel adjoin-
ing suffered heavy damage and two
cottages were burned, but the pre-
vailing dead calm made it possible
for the firemen to prevent a further
spread. The damage was estimated
unofficially at $4,000.
Caused, fire men said. by short
circuit of wires in an automobile, the
fire. which was discovered about $50
o'clock, spread with great rapidity.
A series of explosions resulted as the
flames reached the gas tanks of the
cars, which were in the garage for
storage or repair, and included two
new machines. They were owned by
residents of Lawrence, Lowell, Hav-
cTIllli, IoOStOu, AlllCDOIO ana \Ol-
wood, Mass, and Of Manchester, n.
II.
The danger of a conflagration in
the closely built beach caused the
authorities to send for help to New
buryport, Haverhill and Amesbury,
Mass, and to Portsmouth and Exc
ter, N. II. The 1Iavcrhill brigade
reached Hampton Beach % minutes
after they received the call. The
coastguard crew of Station 10, under
Captain Myers, also rendered assist
ance.
Guests at the Wilbert hotel, a three
story wooden building adjoining the
garage, were aroused by the police
and all reached places of safety as
the flames spread to that building.
TIL hotel was damaged to the extent
of $4,000, it was estimated, but as
bestos shingles on its roof saved
other buildings nearby, the firemen
said. 1t is owned by Mrs. Wilbur
Miller. The two cottages, the pro-
perty of Mrs. Bristol, were badly
damaged, the loss being placed at
$4,000. Damage to the garage was
estimated at $4,000 while the loss on
the automobile was placed at $4,000.
The fire was under control at
O'Clock.
