School Bootlegger
 Being Sought By
 Seattle Policemen

SEATTLE, Dec. 31.-At the re- quest of parents of two Lincoln high school youths Seattle police today are searching for a 5ootegger who is charged with having furnished the toy flasks of lnuonshine whiskey fer a party of students at the home of one of their number.
 he fact that the boys obtained the ;.quoT was brought out in m investigation by school authorities of a party" at the home of one of the students a few nights ago. Seven teen students who participated .n the patty were suspected by the school board.
 We know who this man is and are doing what We can to get hiEa," William B. S"veryns, chief of police, said today. He has been arrested before for violations of the liquor law. We obta;ned his name from two Of the boys involved when theii parents asked the police to make an investigation. As far as we have been able to learn, the boys obtained only two small flasks. None of the students became intoxicated as far as we can learn. That doesn't alter the case, however, and we are going to keep after this man until we get him.
 The seventeen Lincoln high school boys who were suspended by the board admitted taking liquor to the party but denied that there was enough to make any of the young people intoxicated.
 "As long as some of the fathers and mothers act as thought they think it is smart to violate the li- quor law, we mustn't be surprised if the young folk do the things which caused the suspension of the Lincoln boys," Thomas R. Cole, superintend- ent of schools, said today.
 ''The fact of the matter is, the youths are becoming saturated with the idea that it is smart to violate the law. Their elders treat the illicit obtaining of liquor as joke, and why shouldn't the children?
 Tt is useless to talk about re- forming the young people as long as they have that sort of an ex- ample" said Mr. Cole. 'If we are going to do any reforming, the place to begin is higher up. There must be an entirely different attitude in some of the homes before we can expect much more of the children.
 ''In our school work we are trying to stress the importance of character and all the qualities that make for good citizenship but before we can get the maximum results of that effort we must have little different attitude in some of the homes."
