Resenting Higher
 Prices Britons Start
 Boycott on Whiske,
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, April 2O.-A whiskey re- bellion is brewing in His Majesty's domains. The fact that one pays more for the legal purchase of bot tie of whiskey in Britain than for an illegally obtained one in America, is too much for the Scotch distillers and the English consumers. Several visits to the chancellor of the ex- chequer and a boycott on spirits have been undertaken.
 This dual effort has been unproduc- tive. Chancellor Churchill is mak- ing no provision for a reduction of the excise tax in his coming budget and, although the nome consumption of spirits has dropped 50 per cent, from 24,064,000 gallons in 1914 to 12,- 5S3,000 in 1924, the foreign demand has kept the vats filled and the dis tilleries wide open. About 29,00O,- 900 gallons were distilled last year, against 100000 gallons less that amount in 1914
 The distiller and consumer, who thus have been brought together, have organized a society with the object of telling their less interested countrymen of their grievances. The society is contemplating nation wide campaign for the reduction of the domestic revenue tax on spir- it's
 The society has found out that the Englishmen are going back to port wine as a substitute for the highly taxed whiskey. The government on- ly taxes this wine two shillings six pence gallon, and the growers out in Portugal get the profits.

Hugh Morton pleaded not guilty to

He was represented in court by his

Immediately upon arraignment steps

ing and went to get a 20 caliber

ally broke into the house by breaking
the lock on the door. AS he APP
preached Morton he was shot in the

AUTO SPOONERS
ARE VICTIMIZED
Sears-Latimer Staying Re-
veals Shakedown Meth
DDS Employed.
SILENCE IS BOUGHT

Operations on large scale by the
automobile spooner blackmailer in
in Kenosha and Racine counties dur
ing the nights of the summer just
passed, has been brought to light by
the Investigations of police following
the murder of Jimmy Sears and
Madelynne Latimer as they sat in
their car on road north of Kenosha
on the night of October IA.
Previous to this tragedy this type
of blackmail had been scarcely heard
of. Authorities say that during the
past few weeks they have been made
acquainted with numerous incidents OF
extortion of this nature. Those in
volved gave out the information in the
strictest confidence, and with the pro-
viso that their names and reputation
be guarded. The police and sheriff's
departments are respecting this con-
fidence.
1t is a type of extortion with which
the authorities are unable to copej as
the victims do not even report the in
cidents of the publicity that will at
tach to them if there ia prosecution.
The incidents recently recited would
never have been known were it not for
the Kenosha murder.
His Operations Revealed.
From the many incidents reported,
the police have pieced together the
following:
The blackmailers operate on lonely
county roads, where automobile spoon
ers are wont to gather on warm, moon
light nights. The headlights of his
machine are shut off; he need fear no
collisions as there is little traffic. He
parks his machine some distance from
the spooners, and then approaches the
car under observation, generally on
hands and knees. The license number
is noted; he then hides alongside the
victims machine until the opportune
time.
swell, well, this sa fine howdy-
do" is his common remark, when he
strikes. eve got your license num-
Der. l think that about SIS will fix
up this situation"
Married Men Victims.
The victim sees brazen, leering
face, looking through the curtains of
the door. Next there flashes through
his mind what unpleasantness the
publicity might cause him, especially
if he is a married man. The black
mailer is seldom refused. Some of
those investigating the Kenosha MUIR
der believe that II was one incident
where there was sucn a refusal.
81 handed over $25 to one of the
blackmailers,' said Racine man to
the authorities. II would have given
him hundred if he had asked for it."
In some instances, the extortionists
stalk their victims from town. They
know the man and the girl he is with.
,, They silently follow him through the
country until the time arrives to
strike.

CORONER WARNS
OF GAS MENACE
Carbon M0n0xide Poison
ing Danger Turks in
Home Garages.
BUILD AIRY GARAGES

A warning of the perils of carbon
monoxide poisoning has been issued
here by Coroner Joseph Friend. The
warning is particularly appropriate at
this time of the year, he points out,
with the approach of winter, for it is
during the cold weather when motor
lists do their repair work in closed gar
ages that the death toll from carbon
monoxide gas assumes alarming pros
portions in the country at large.
'Kenosha has been Fortunate"
Friend declares, Gin that it has not
experienced in recent years a death
from this cause. But that is all the
more reason for increased vigilance on
the part Of every man who owns and
operates an automobile and who keeps
his own garage. Each winter the
deaths caused by carbon monoxide
gas are increasing. 1t seems that
many auto owners are ot aware of
the danger involved in allowing their
motors to run in a closed garage"
Officials throughout the country are
aroused because of the menace to au-
toists in carbon monoxide gas and are
taking measures to combat the peril,
Friend adds.
The United States bureau of mines
experts have devoted much time and
study to the dangers attendant to
these fumes and have warned the
public number of times of the dis
astrous results which may occur I'M
less due care is exercised
Do not work under a machine with
the motor running, even though it is
in the open air, they say. Guard
against running an automobile engine
La a poorly ventilated or closed gar
aye. Sitting in closed car with the
engine running is dangerous; always
have the windows open.
Ventilate Garages.
Persons wishing to avoid this dan
gerous gas must see to it that their
garages are well ventilated. They
should avoid exposure to carbon mo-
aoxide and, where it is necessary to
come into contact with it, protective
equipment should be provided.
Carbon monoxide is loudly danger
ous, the experts declare, because it is
hard to detect it in the air. It has
no odor and is tasteless. symptoms
are readily found, however. A slight
case finds the victim suffering from
headache. As the percentage of car
bon monoxide in the blood increases
The headache becomes more severe,
The victims leg weaken and respira-
ton increases. Then comes col
lapse. followed by Inconsistencies
and finally death.
