INSTRUMENTATION bootleggers
have been eliminated by prohibition
forces in Wisconsin. Herman
Satchien, commissioner of prohibi-
ton, said in a statement issued here
Tuesday Satchjen cites figures
compiled by the department to
show that violations Of the dry law in
this state are now confined almost
exclusively to professionals
Tabulations for 1920, 81, % and
% show the number Of convictions
and amount Of fines paid into the
state treasury increased steadily
until 1922. Last year there were
1912 convictions and $432, 208 col
lected in fines compared with 4,30S
convictions and $503,565 in fines in
1922 Liquor law offenders served
an aggregate of 2271 months for
violations in 1922 and in the follow
ing year spent only 1887 " months
in penal institutions.
The figures do not include penal
ties for drunkenness, driving an auto
mobile while intoxicated or any other
offense but violation of state or
federal statutes.
Zone reason for a decrease in the
number Of convictions is that many
amateur bootleggers and moon
sinners have been eliminated" the
report says. at is now a question
Of survival Of the fittest 1t is less
easy to obtain evidence on the pro-
fessional violators as they have high
priced lawyers to advise and defend
them.
There have been many test cases
taken to the Supreme Court to de-
termne the validity and the con
stitutionality Of the Severson law.
These legal difficulties and technical
tiles have limited the enforcement
Of the prohibition law to a great ex-
tent.
"In the future, it will be more diff.
ficult to get the evidence and the
conviction of the bootleggers ant
moonshners because the violator il
much more careful, the violations
are less open and the evidence is not
so easily obtained.
"The spirit of cooperation be.
tween federal, local and state of
ficers has constantly improved and
very little friction has developed in
any county of the state and the fines
and Jail sentences reported show tht
product of the joint efforts of al
three forces"

Future Farm Convenience.

VIM A. Baehr, Vice-President
and General Manager of the Illinois
Power and Light Corporation of
Chicago, in discussing the electrified
ton Of American farms and the
problems involved in getting cheap
power to thinly settled rural dis
tricts, said
There is no question that the
farmer, when supplied with electric
power and instructed how to use it,
will use more of ii than the ordinary
family or small business in the city.
He viii not only use it in his home
for lighting purposes, percolator,
toaster, vacuum cleaner, washer and
kitchen range, but will light his
barns, barnyard, run his water pump,
sawmill, feed grinders, milking
machine, churn, etc.
On the field of electric uses,
potentially, he is a heavy consumer
of electric power But he and his
neighbors are widely separated.
especially in the agricultural sections
west of the Mississippi river, in the
Northwest and the far Southwest,
making it expensive to reach him.
Farm electrification is not the
idea Of dreamers and in time we
shall see farms lighted and their
machinery turned by a purring motor
supplied with power from trans
mission lines. Yes, and country
roads, too, will sometime be lighted
up at night Elk.

SMALL NUMBER OF STATE
PAROLE VIOLATORS
State Probation Officer Says That
Less Than Ten Per Cent
Violate the Privilege.

Madison-Less than ten per cent
of the persons placed on probation
under the direction of the state
board violate the privilege, ac-
cording to a statement of B. NJ.
Jorstad on Monday. He said that
during the past year lac males and
females had been placed on proba-
tion as compared with 189 males and
six females, total of 1875 for the
year previous.
There were on probation, under
direction of the state board of
control, at the beginning of last
year, total of PAT persons. With
the number added during the year,
made a total Of 399 under the
supervision Of the board during the
year OF this number 35 or less
than ten per cent violated their
parole The records show that of
IS women who have been under the
supervision of the board every one
made good Not woman violated
her parole.
During the past year 1913 persons
were discharged by the board from
under their paroles. There are now
on probation to the board about 236
persons.
Records show that the board of
control has followed a policy of re-
leasing those on probation as soon as
possible after the court record has
been received. In 81 per cent of
the cases handled by the. board the
person placed on probation by the
board is out of Jail and in his job
within eight days after the court
action. Mr.. Jorstsd declares that he
finds no trouble in placing pro-
bationers on farms and that there is
steady demand for their services. In
about per cent of the cases a
probationer is held incarcerated
awaiting the handling of his case
about 30 days. These several that
were held in Jail for more than three
weeks, because of failure to find
them suitable employment.

Shoemaker Friend of President
Coolidge
CLEVELAND, June 13.-Calvin
Coolidge today is the same man he
was whom I knew him thirty years
ago in Northampton. I first met
| him in the second week of October
in 1894, when he was a sophomore at
/ Amherst.
Robert Wier, who worked in a
ibookshop in Northampton, brought
Coolidg to the same shop 1 work in
today. Tier later became superin-
tendent of buildings at the Clark
School for the Deaf and Dumb
where Grace A. Goodhue was a
teacher. Grace is now Mrs. Cool
/ idge. Wier is now in Los Angeles.
Coolidge was just as shy then as
he is now, perhaps even more shy
then. lie would sit for hours in my
shop and ask me my views about
things and l would question him.
Coolidge always sat in a little
chair in p quiet corner Of my shop
when he talked.
A few months ago two women
from down State called on me. They
wanted TO see the Presidents shoe
maker, they said. one of them was
a school teacher. II she weighed
pound. sba weighed 300.
She wanted to sit in the same
chair that Coolidge sat in. She
pulled It out and sat down. The
chair broke. The teachers hat went
/ in one direction and she went in an
other, but she thought it was 8 good
/ joke. I have had the chair repaired.
Some people wonder why Coolidge
is so popular if he is so shy and is
not a good mixer.
1t is all because he is such a good
man.
Let me tell a story that shows his
| fine character.
Before Coolidge entered State poll
/ tics he was connected with a
/ Northampton bank. Coolidge took
over a certain piece of property
from the bank. But. because he was
SO kind to people, he made a poor
landlord and did not collect enough
rent. SO this property became a
liability to him.
A friend of mine went to Coolidge
and asked if he'd sell the property
Coolidge named a price.
III take it," said the man, make
out a deed and I'll pay you now"
But Coolidge was busy. Come
back in a few days" he said.
The next day wealthy man came
to see Coolidge and asked If the
property was for SALE Coolidge
said it was. and named price $500

WATSON KILLED
SANDERS BOOM
AT CONVENTION
Eastern States Were Ready
to Support Congressman
for Vice President,
By c. A. RANDALL
Times Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 10
Indianas failure to be represented
on Republican ticket for 1924 is due
largely to Hoosiers themselves.
Had not Senator Watson and Ma
tional Committeeman Healing stood
adamant against the nomination of
Everett Sanders, New York and
Pennsylvania were prepared to
throw 169 votes in a solid block to
the Terre Haute Congressman.
Watson, much to- the surprise of
delegates, both from Indiana and
other States, gave definite proof of
the fact that he took his vice presi-
Dental race seriously, and was en-
ragged that the big bosses from other
States were prepared to shove him
out of the way and support a friend
of Harry New.
Or the surface. all remained har-
monious within the Hoosier delega-
ton, but behind the friendly front
put up by Watson, New and -Bever-
idge, acquaintance Of the famous
trio detected, or at least thought
they detected, signs of irritation and
disgust with the actions and atti-
tudes Of the others.
The only thing counted on to keep
this irritation hidden is the realiza-
ton that a stiff campaign faces the
Republican party. One of the real
tragedies of the convention is the
poor showing made by Senator Jim,
himself.
Had not the Khan been so open
in its Endorsement Watson, many be
lieve now that post-mortefns are lin
order, might have Jared much bet
ter. In that case it would not have
been necessary for the bosses to
seek out a relatively unknown Con-
orassrsaan To hold Indiana In line
