Mrs. Leonard Entertains
Distinguished Guests at
"Blythewood Farm"

AIRS. HARRY LEONARD was
Nl able to have a thoroughly de-
ightful party last evening despite
the waywardness of the weather.
Her plan to have the dinner served
out under the marvellous centuries
old trees that grace the lawn OF
her home went awry, but other-
wise there was nothing that even
she. a meticulous hostess, could
possibly be dissatisfied with.
All told there were twenty-efgh
In the company, who were seated
sf four tables for the dinner in the
lovely old dining room Of the quaint
little frame farmhouse. The tables
were lighted by white candles and
each had a simple decoration OF
flowers from the gardens of the
old estate.
Mrs. Leonard is famous for her
epicurean delicacies; and tne dini
ner last night at "Blythewood
Farm" added to her reputation, If
that were possible.
Then the affair was so charm
ingly informal! The guests motored
Down wearing sport clothes or after
noon dress. They left town around
6 o'clock and arrived at Blythe
wood" in time to look the place
over leisuFely before dinner.
It is a fascinating spot--this place
that Mrs. Leonard has spent most
OF her time for the last two or three
years 1t is near Forestvitle, Nd,
about two miles off the main road
&c Annapolis. And last night this
side road was well lighted with
lanterns, so no one could possibly
miss the way.
Among the guests last night were

Riano, the Argentine Ambassador
and Nine. Pueyrredon and their
extremely lovely and popular
daughters, Mile. Juliet Helena. Pu-
eyrredon and Nile. Raquel Pueyrre.

HUGE ILLICIT STILL IN ITALY
Distillcry Cheated Government Out of
$4,000 Lires Per Day; Illicit Liq-
uor Business Not Confined
to Dry Territory

When c1andestine still is discovered
in Finland, Europe's one dry country, the
whole world Immediately hears of it.
Must it not be proved that prohibition of
spirits is an impossible measure, tending
to promote the illicit consumption of al
cohol?
So far as we know, no Journal has men
toned the discovery in the commune of
Ponticelli near Naples, Italy, of large
clandestine distillery which manufactured
SO much liquor that it entailed the loss
to the treasury of the government of U.s.
600 Tires day. The raw material en-
ployed, moreover, was of deplorablc
quality.
This incident shows that prohibition is
not the only factor i'll provoking illicit
manufacture of liquor. Let the legislator
from fiscal or hygienic motives, restrict
or tax the manufacture of alcoholic bev-
erages, and there will always be found
INSCRIPTIONS people eager to make
money who will do their best to defraud
the government and cheat the law.

FEDERAL JUDGE CLIFFE DECLARES
KANE COUNTY Is WETTEST In STATE
Officials Should Enforce or be Put
Out of Office
Qslgin Courier

Declaring that there are more bootleg
gers per square inch in Kane county than
any other county in Illinois, outside Cook.
and pleading for personal patriotism and
more respect for the law, Federal Judge
Adam {. Cliife of Chicago drove home a
number of fundamental ideals in Ameri-
can citizenship in his address before more
than 100 Kiwanis club members, their
wives, lady friends and other guests last
evening at the Y. NJ. c. A.
In making the above statement, Judge
Cliffe said that he desired to have it
Known that it was made without reHec-
ton upon county law enforcers and that
the information had come to him from
an outside source
While speaking of the general violation
OF the Eighteenth Amendment, Judge
Cliffe, born and raised in Sycamore and
former circuit Judge of the Sixteenth Tu-
dcial District, including Kane county,
said
Attacks Liquor Heads
What we need to do If we intend 10
enforce this law is not to get the little
fellows, but rather the heads of these big
breweries, those 'hiiackers' who have
made millions of dollars since the adop-
ton of the Eighteenth Amendment.
These big fellows are potential muir
derers"
The trouble with certain legislators is
they VOTE dry and act wet
any man who promises under oath
to enforce the laws on the statute books
should do SO to the letter without fear or
favor, whether he be in Kane or William
son counties aud if he doesn't he should
be impeached and put out of Office"
stated the speaker

In his speech in the Norwegian Parlia-
ment February IL, Premier Johan Ludwig
Mowinclsel said:
I'VE stand in fact stronger today than
we did before the elections last fall 1t
can be proven by figures that our posi-
ton was correct The prohibition law
ought to be given fair chance. It ought
to be tried in reality. Since the ban
against medical prescriptions of whisky
and other alcohol merely for beverage
purposes went into effect on March |,
1924, there has been decrease. in con-
sumption totaling 883, 800 litres. This de-
crease has not caused increased snug
Cling. On the other hand | believe that
smuggling has been diminished. The &C
cess to brandy is also being curtailed.
But in this matter we must show some
patience. We have plebiscite before
us in 1926, at which time the people them
selves will have chance to decide for

themselves whether the ban has been for
the better or the worse.
Some think it would be good financial
operation to abolish prohibition, but such
people do not consider how much we
would lose in order to get that revenue
gain. The idea of revenue on spirits is
abhorrent to me. 1t reminds me of the
man who suffers and says, Well, if it be-
comes too hard for me I have the flask
to give me consolation II there is any
thing in hard times that we should live
without it certainly is alcohol"
In another speech the Prime Minister
touched on the coming plebiscite and
said that the ban against alcohol should
be tried "in spirit and truth" and after
that the question concerning abolition
should be submitted to the people in the
general plebiscite. This has been UNDER
stood in all groups as meaning that there
will be no plebiscite before 1926.

PROHIBITION

On March ? the supreme court of the
United States upheld the right of Presi-
dent Coolidge to pardon Philip Gross
man who was sentenced to year in the
bridewell by Judge Lands on February
T. 1921, and pardoned by the President
on December 20, 1923. The supreme

The following figures were given out
al Washington in connection with con-
gressional inquiry relative to prohibition
enforcement.
According to the figures presented to
the Couzens committee, there are today
70 general enforcement agents assigned
to Illinois, working under one supervision
of Major Percy Owen, federal prohibi-
ton director for Illinois, with headquar-
ters in Chicago.
Illinois had 81 enforcement agents in
1923, as compared with 70 at the present
time. In 1922, there were 70 agents in
the state, in 1921 only 10, and in 1920,

Prohibition has increased the efficiency
of American workmen by 20 per cent,
says a report by Sim and Coventry. Ltd,
tinplate manufacturers, on the state of
the Welsh tinplatc market in 1924. The
report adds that this factor must be
taken into consideration if it ever comes

WANTS LAW STRENGTHENED
Prohibition Director Davis of Mich
igan Asks That More Author
ity be Given Agents

Federal Prohibition Director James r.
Davis, of Michigan, is reported to have
suggested to the House subcommittee
OF the committee on alcoholic liquor traf-
fic, enactment of legislation empowering
federal agents to enter restaurants and
private clubs with search warrants as
means to better prohibition enforcement
in Michigan.
Mr.. Davis made his suggestions in
communication to Congressman Grant
M. Hudson, chairman of the House sub
committee on the alcohol traffic. He re-
ported that the bulk of the liquor supply
from Michigan is imported from Canada
although there is much difficulty with the
distiiers and those that manufacture
liquor from specially denatured alcohol.
He urged a greater number of speed
boats and prohibition agents assigned to
the Detroit river, and also greater PEN
alties for smuggling of liquor. More au-
thority would be granted to search prem
Uses where illicit distilling now takes
place.
Greater regulaticn of withdrawn alco-
hol is recommended.
In discussing his proposal for more
leeway in obtaining search warrants, Mr..
Davis says:
l believe that federal prohibition
agents should be able to obtain
search warrants OH public places, or
especially SO for drink parlors and
restaurants on presentation of an af-
fdavit showing knowledge or evil
dence that liquor is being sold there,
rather than being required to pro-
duce positive evidence, viz, to be re-
CURED to purchase bottle of liquor
as is the case today. This should
also include clubs, private clubs, or
at least some more stringent law
should be made relative to the clubs.
That is one of the greatest difficult
ties encountered by us today.

MICHIGAN DRYS' PROGRAM
Three Important Bills Presented to
Legislature Looking to Better
Law Enforcement

The legislative program of the Anti
Saloon League and the law and order
forces of Michigan includes a proposal
for the enactment of three measures by
the legislature. They are;
The Poison Liquor Bill
This provides that the seller of intoxi-
eating liquor which results in the death
of the purchaser from drinking such LID
uor shall be guilty of manslaughter and
shall be punished accordingly.
The Drunken Drver Bill
This is an amendment to the bill which
prohibits a person from driving an auto
mobile while under the influence of in
toxicating liquors, and provides that In
conviction for violation thereof, in addi-
ton TO the other penalties already pro-
vided, the drivers license be revoked by
the Secretary of State for one year for
the first conviction, for a second convic-
ton for three years, and upon a third
conviction revocation shall be for life.
Rule of Evidence Law
Inc purpose Oh tnlS Dill Is 10 heCiaTt d
rule of evidence and to provide that in
toxicating liquors, stolen property, gamb
ling paraphernala, burglars tools, mar
cotic drugs, counterfeiting devices, lot
terry tickets and other kinds and classes
of contraband property, the mere posses
sion of which is unlawful, may not be re-
turned to the person from whom taken
even though such property has been
taken from persons accused of crime
without lawful process, but may be re-
tanned and used as evidence. In only
three or four states has a contrary rule
been declared and it is held almost uni
formly in the United States district
courts and the United States district
courts of appeal, that such property
which is declared to be contraband and
the mere possession of which is an Of
Tense, may not be returned to the per-
son from whom it is taken even though
the seizure is void, and may be retained
and used as evidence. The bill specific

Prospective DriUe at

Is 81 per mile sufficient compensa
ton for risking your life behind the
wheel of a racing automobile encir
cling a speedway at more than two
miles a minute?
Most of the world-famous speed de
mons thought so until they viewed
the precarious banking of the new
automobile speedway near Laurel to-
day. Then, as the beads of perspira.
ton were mopped from dubious
brows and amid much shaking OF
heads, the veterans of many death
defying races began wondering them
selves about that very question.
Each driver in a 250.mile grind such
as will feature the dedication of the
Maryland bowl Saturday is assured OF
$500, whether he wins. comes in last
or is forced out of the competition
Since 1t is expected that a pace of
at least 125 miles an hour will be
set in the race, the remuneration
approximates $3.50 an hour, or 81 per
mile.

daredevils to his colleagues, IT think
