Huge Supplies of Liquor
Under Guard in Kentucky

WASHINGTON. April 16.-There
are 20,OO0.0O0 gallons of pre-prohi-
bition whisky now in storage in
the United States, under govern
ment supervision. and its owners,
mostly wholesalers caught with the
stock on their hands when national
enforcement became effective, cannot
dispose of it except as the govern.
ment may direct.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
believes the government should pur
chase this whisky, most of which is
guarded in 2S concentration ware
houses, located largely in Kentucky
Legally, he points out, there has
been no whisky manufactured in
this country since January /. 1922
and the stock now on hand, being
gradually expended for medicinal pur
poses, Mr.. Haynes estimates, will
be sufficient only for another seven
The Alaska daily empire., 1925-04-16

years.
About 1928, four years before the
present whisky stock is exhausted.
ii is expected that the government
will authorize the manufacture of
whisky, so that four-year-old spirits
may be available as medicine at the
time the pre-prohibition supply be-
comes exhausted. Consumption by
prescription is now about 100000
gallons annually, Mr.. Haynes. says.
compared to some 30.0O0.000 gallons
of whisky before prohibition.
There is no legal demand for rum,
officials of the prohibition unit de-
clared. and the 5000 barrels of
this product now on hand will likely
be exported.
Commissioner Haynes says the
amount of pre-Yolstead liquor now
! in the hands of the people is lin
finitely small.

Mrs. Anna Cunningham has con-
fessed she poisoned three of her
children including David Cunning
ham, aged %, now i'll in a hospital
in Chicago, but denied she poisoned
her husband and fourth child.
The confession was made in Jail

told in calm voice without any
emotion.
Mrs. Cunningham said:
Il am done with the whole
bunch. I'm done with you. I'm
coming clean"
Mrs. Cunningham said she did
not poison her son Harry His was
one of the two bodies of children
exhumed and the coroner's chemist
found poison in both bodies.
The confession followed the wom-
ans arrest several days ago after
her sons serious illness, in Chicago,
started an investigation. All bodies
of the dead, who passed away dur
ing the last six years, were ordered
exhumed. The dead carried insur-
ance from $500 to $4,000 which
had been collected.
Mrs. Cunningham, in her confess
sion said she spread arsenic on
bread. in butter and gave 1t to the
members of her family and ate
some herself each time.

YACATACA OIL
FIELDS WILL
Be DEVELOPED
General Petroleum Corpora
ton Signs Contracts and
Will Begin Drilling.

With the filing of the articles of
incorporation of the st. Elias Deyel-
opment Company in the office of the
Secretary of Alaska yesterday came
this disclosure that the General Pc
troleum Corporation will Immediate
ly begin the development of the
Yakataga oil fields. The articles of
incorporation were received by the
Territorial Secretary from Maurice ID.
Leehey the well known Seattle law
year who has been interested in AL
aska for many years. The company
is incorporated for 100000, and min
ing and oil development are declared
to be its purposes.
The incorporators of the st. Elias
Development Company are John d.
Hull, l.. A. Lavensaler, M. j. Sulli-
van, Elijah Harper and Maurice d..
Leehey, and the directors named in
the articles for the first year the
same men with George A. Leekley.
Cordova is named as the principal
place of business for the company
and the principal corporate office is
in Seattle.
It is understood that the St Elias
Development Company has taken over
the holdings of the Alaska Develop
ment Syndicate.
Both the st. Elias Development
Company and the Yakataka Oil Com
pany have made contracts with the
General Petroleum Corporation for
drilling their properties. and, it is
said, two wells will be drilled. The
drilling outfits are all ready to be
towed into Icy Bay just as soon as
all arrangements are concluded and
drilling will probably begin early in
the summer. The drilling will be on
either the Ibach or Ross claim oi
the Yakataga Oil Company and the
Sullivan claim of the st. Ellis De
velopment Company.
1t is permissible for each corpora
| tion to acquire five permits on each
geological structure if it is prepared
| to begin drilling. The General Pc
troleum Corporation, therefore, will
have ten permits, five under each OF
its contracts, under which to operate

United States Senator Burton X.
Wheeler, of Montana, who stood be-
fore the nation six months ago as
candidate for the vice-presideney,
appeared in the federal court here
today as prisoner at the bar, ac-
cused of selling his political birth

The trial comes after q long post

dicted here more than a year ago
April 8, 1924, for receiving fees for
appearing before the interior depart

plications for his client, Gordon
Campbell, Montana oil promoter. Be

trial. declaring that he was entitled
to acquittal or conviction before the
voters of the country considered his
name.
The case was delayed, however,
until last month, when 1t was set
to begin today.
Senator Wheeler is specifically
charged with violation of section 113
lof the penal code, which makes il
a crime for a member of congress
to accept fees in appearing before
any government department in pro
secution of a claim for another per
