THE WAY TO ZANE.


Wise men agree that plenty of work
Is the one way to fame and to
Vow I. ats all very true
But there are other ways, too
And that Is the point Of this story.
Bill Jones was a lad who wanted
A great tS % ..peeanist'' like Paderewski.
For eight years or more teachers
went to his house.
And he knew all his notes from
Beethoven to Strauss.
But when he sailed forth in search
He found. to his chagrin and vexa-
ton,
That all Of his teaching didn't do
him much. good,
For he could not play jazz syncOpa-
And now let us turn our attention to
Tom,
g Who was musical Bllrs younger
brother,
He played the piano entirely by ear.
And knew not one note from the
other.
But for Toms style Of playing
There's an awful demand:
And at present he's leader
OF famous jazz band.
His salary Is so large
He carries 1t home In O truck,
1t seems like some people
just have all the luck,

I THREATENS
TOIGNORE
CASES
Schuldt Says He's Tired Of
Making Complaints To
Department

Failure by police officers to ap-
pear in the assistant district at
torney's office for the purpose of
making out information against
defendants early enough to be
ready when court convenes to
testify in cases may result in the
dismissal Of such cases, according
to Judge Gus A. Schuldt.
An order has been issued to the
precincts to the effect that court
sits at $50 in the morning and not
10 o'clock or after. Delinquent
officers have often failed to put
in an appearance at court until a
late hour, thereby holding up pro-
ceedings.
Complaints lodged with the
Policel Department seem to have
been without result" said Judge
Schuldt from the bench today.
This condition is becoming in

Assistant District Attorneys
Ralph Given and Joseph Bruce say
that their office force is on hand
early in the morning, ready to
make out papers if the officers
arrive and that the congestion of
the court docket is often due to
the non-appearance of the police.
In fulfilling his statement Judge
Schuldt dismissed charges Of as
sault against Joseph Fair and
Julia Whitfield for want of prose-
cution. In the latter's case the
complaining witness failed TO APP

Joining Of City and v. s.
Forces PIeases Local and

Within forty-eight hours Wash.
ington will have the largest pro.
hibition enforcement force of any
city Of its size in the United
States and Harry Luckett, divi-
sionaI prohibition chief, and Com
missioner James F. Oyster are
today joining hands in laying
plans to wage the bitterest battle
against bootlegging and Illicit Il.
quor drinking ever launched in
the National Capital.
"a Men All Ready.
The renewed campaign to enforcO
the Volstead Act will begin to-
morrow when twenty-seven .,recinct
detectives march down to the Pro.
hibition unit to be sworn in a.
full nedged revenue agents.
Immediately after the men are
sworn in they will go to the office
Of Commissioner Oyster where
before Major Daniel Sullivan, chief
Of police, and lawyer from the
Prohibition unit, they viii be
advised of their powers and duties
and ar elaborate program to make
this city bone dry" will be re.
vealed to them.
Chief Luckett, Commissioner Oya-
ter and Major Sullivan all declared
today the arrangement is going to
work perfectly, inasmuch as all OF
the men will be instructed to co.
operate with the regular revenue
agents under Luckett.
That results are bound to follow
the swearing in of the twenty-seven
precinct detectives tomorrow is as
sured, as it is known there will be
a, spirit of competitive co-opera-
ton" among both the detectives
and the revenue agents. They will
be willing to cooperate but each
wing of the force will be determined
to make the best showing and this
situation. will guarantee a "hot
time" for the bootleg element.
Haynes Is Happy.
Prohibition Commissioner Roy A.
Haynes said today that he is happy
that his force is to be augmented
by the local police. He explained
that the District of Columbia is in
a different status from the States
and that granting of the additional
power to the detectives here is just
what is needed to complete his local
organization.
Commissioner OystA on the
other hand is happy over the
arrangement, as it is one which
he has been fighting for over q
period Of months and one which he
believes will enable the police de-
partment here to ring up an envi.
able rum record" In the past
It 10 known that many cases have
been lost by the local department
through failure to get in touch with
the revenue agents at the critical
stage of their projected raids.
