MILTON DOLLAR WHISKEY CARGO
LEAVES GERMANY FOR SALE IN y. 5.
Big Bootleg Syndicate, Headed by
Czech Engineer, Has Paid 500
Per Cent Profit on Previous
Trips. Philadelphia Is Center.

BERLIN-A 6,000-ton freighter
loaded to capacity with $l,000,OOO
worth of whisky for American con-
sumption left Bremen for Bermuda
Yesterday. 1t is part of the rum fleet
operated by German syndicate.
When the ship left Bremen it carried
with it the hopes of a Czech mining
engineer, German exporter, lead
ing Berlin druggist, a Berlin hoteller,
a we'll known actress and scores OF
minor investors. Their hopes are JUST
fable, for previous trips brought SUI
per cent profit.
u. S. Called Land of Gold.
Central European bootleggers are
now convinced the United States IS
literally land of gold. 1t is not even
necessary TO go personally to PICK up
gold off the streets, the dream OF the
old immigrants. Bootleg messengers
are more efficient.
The titular head of this syndicate
is general director of an export house
in Bremen, with its own warehouse in
the free port. The New York agent
German American who makes his
home in Hoboken-meets the boat at
Bermuda. The Czech engineer goes
ahead to arrange for the reloading OF
the cargo on fishing smacks.
Quaker City Is Center.
Philadelphia is the syndicate's CEN
ter in America and all liquor is event
ually concentrated there Tor distribu-
ton through the east. The Czech
seems to be the brains OF this particu-
lar syndicate, only one OF many that
have plunged into bootlegging in the
last few months. He was once a
smupgler of drugs. Beginning with
an investment OF $4,000 he is now
reported to be millionaire. He makes
no secret of the source OF his wealth
and since his success travels about
Europe in a limousine, saying the
trains are too common.

MEASURE WOULD AFFECT
SOUTH'S FARM PROBLEM
TO AMEND FEDERAL PEONAGE
ACT AND PERMITS ARREST
FOR BREAKING CONTRACT.
SEEKS TO PROTECT FARMERS
Purpose of Bill of Carolina Congress
man Is to Make Negroes Who OBJ
tain Advances and Run Away Sub
iect to Criminal Prosecution.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress-
man Hare, of South Carolina, has in
troduced bill of far reaching import
ance to the general agricultural and
labor interests OF the south.
From time to time there is much
trouble with negro labor on the farms,
and this bill proposes to stabilize the
situation. 1t would amend what is
known as the peonage act which now
provides that it shall be unlawful for
any one to arrest or cause to be ar
rested, return or cause to be returned
any person to a condition of peonage.
The amendment provides that where
a person enters into contract with
another to be performed within one
wear with intent to cheat or detraud
and receives consideration wholly
or in part and then refuses to perform
the contract it shall not be unlawful
to arrest or cause such person to be
returned and tried in court OF COM
petent jurisdiction.
w ilGH dSkGQ what lliS Pbl POoS Va
the bill was Mr.. Hare stated under
existing conditions we seem to have
no law which affords adequate protec-
ton to farmers under our farm labor
contract system, and practically all
the efforts to effect a contract that
would protect all parties have been in
conflict with the United States peon-
age act.
Under the present law, for example
a farmer enters into a contract with
a negro, for most of our farm labor
contracts are with negroes, and makes
advances to the extent OF one or two
hundred dollars or more and by the
time he begins work in the spring the
negro leaves and if the farmer at
tempts to bring him back and have
him execute his contract it would be
held to be a violation OF the peonage
law: whereas, the negro would be al
lowed to go free, there being no law
whereby he could be tried Tor GRIM
inal offense even though he knew at
the time he made the contract and
received the money that he was not
going to execute the same.
The purpose OF my bill is to make
it criminal offense for him to enter
into a contract with intent to cheat
or defraud, receive the consideration
in whole or in part and then breach
the contract.
This bill is intended to catch the
man who wants to get something Tor
nothing, but in actual opinion 1t VIII
be a benefit and to the advantage OF
honest labor, because if the farmer
knows when he makes the contract
that it is one binding on both parties
he will not have to take chances and
can therefore give the laborer better
or greater consideration in the con-
tract "

S|BLY SCORES PETT|NG
PARTY MODERN YOUTHS
GEORGIA U. S. JUDGE DISCUSS
ES DANGEROUS TENDEN-
CIES OF PRESENT DAY.
SHORT SKIRTS MERE LURES
Drinking by Boys and Girls, Night
Automobile Rides and Modern Pict-
ures Are Destroying Old Time Mo-
rality, He Declares.

ATLANTA, Ga,-Liquor drinking
by boys and girls, night automobile
''petting parties" and the short skirt
came in for a scathing denunciatior
at the hands of United States Federal
Judge Samuel H. Sibley, when he adj
dressed a meeting of the Atlanta Ro-
tary club. In his address the jurist
challenged the citizens that the time
has arrived when stock should be ia
ken of what he called the dangerous
effects. of certain ideas of conduct.
Trial Marriage.
Appealing directly to his listeners
Judge Sibley said:
a ask you if it is not time to con-
slider whether marriage is to be trial
affair or regarded as a permanent ar
rangement; whether modest girl
would not make better wife than an
immodest one and whether or not
there is greater danger in the so-called
freedom prevailing now between the
youths of different sexes.
DuI WOISl Oh dill, tliC JuuSC uC-
clared, rs the promiscuous use of liq-
uor by immature boys and girls. This
probably has done more to destroy
old-time morality than any other one
factor"
To this Judge Sibley added that
modern youth in its attempt to con-
form to certain ideas of life, made al
Turing through the mediums of the
motion picture and modern pictures,
has literally gone wild"
Mere lures and the tendency to
carry fashion to extremes" was the
lacing given the short skirt by the
speaker.
The idea of shortening the skirts
from the old styles and aboiishing
the tight collars was a good one to
begin with, but the extreme to which
it has been taken shows how an idea
that was originally good may be car
ried to foolish extremes in an effort
to conform to style" was another re-
mark from the jurist.
Need of Reform.
Judge Sibley declared that all hui
man contact is based primarily on
the idea of conformity to the prevail
ing mode, and that when this contact
mode is not the proper one it results
in deformity, which, in time necessi-
tates reform. which should be started
early. The child, he said, should be
instilled with the idea to perform, for
it is only through the performance OF
proper conduct that habits are taught
Judge Sibley said he was a "staunch
believer in transformation, which may
completely change a persons life, al
though that persons training in the
other ingredients of the formula has
been inadequate believe in reforma-
ton through transformation"

GREATEST GROWER OF
WHEAT USES SCIENCE
TOM CAMPBELL, OF MONTA-
MA, REALLY A MANUFACT-
URER OF GRAIN.

Tom Campbell, of Hardin, Mont,
known as the greatest wheat farmer
in the world, disclaims the title and
declares he is manufacturer OF
wheat on an industrialized basis"
Not that this man who has grown
as much as 100000 bushels OF wheat
and rye in one season objects to being
called a farmer. For he and his family
have grown wheat for more than ~
years.
He loves the soil; he loves farming.
Only he doesn't believe the word
farming quite expresses Just what ne
is irving to do. For Campbell, as head
of the Campbell Farming Corporation,
is attempting to reduce wheat grow
ING to the same sort of, operation as
the United States Steel Corporation
has steel, or Henry Ford has motor
cars.
The biggest wheat grower IN the
world saws he is making a go OF IT,
too and that in only one year in the
last seven has he failed to show a
profit on his operations.
Campbell recently made a trip 10
Washington to take up with the pat
emf office certain new improvements
ON Mountaineering machines which
he has worked out in his giant opera
tons in Montana.
Cuts Cost in Half.
Patents have been applied Tor, on
several new wrinkles, and CampDeil'
saws the u. S. Department OF Agricul-
ture shortly will announce some new
processes that greatly reduce the cos.
of harvesting wheat.
1--WE have cut the cost by the new
methods we are following OF convert
inc wheat from standing gram to
wheat in the truck ready Tor market
from $3.50 an acre to considerably ;, Tess
than half that sum-" says Campbell.
THE system works on large opera i1
tions | believe it can be used IN small
farming. too. We want to test our eN-
neriments more before putting them
before the farmers of the country.
Il believe it will help revoiutioniZe
wheat harvesting in some sections OF

LIVING CANCER GERMS
USED ON MEN IN TESTS
BRITISH SCIENTISTS EXTEND
INCUBATION WORK; CAN
NOT TELL RESULTS YET.
so FAR PATIENTS ARE IMMUNE
Second incubation With Virus Plus
Chemical Agent Has No Effect
Those Engaged in Research Have
High Hopes for Success.

LONDON, Eng.-Several labora-
tory workers under DR.. w. E. eye
and ]. E. Barnard in their cancer re-
searches have undergone incubation
with cancer germs.
These germs, with which immuniza-
ton is being effected, are not dead or
ganisms, as some suppose, but living
organisms from their chemical agents
by the two scientists.
The results of these NEGOTIATIONS up
to the present have been so far sue
cessful. In no case, either in the lower
animal or the human, has cancer de-
veloped, notwithstanding the fact that
subsequent incubation was made III
several cases with the cancer germ
plus its chemical agent.
High Hopes Entertained.
While those engaged in the research
entertain high hopes, they feel that
caution is necessary. Mr.. Barnard said
TODAY that the recent work was prom
ising, but that it was premature tc
suggest that a successful method Of
minimizing humans 10 cancer hao
been evolved. The results must be
checked again and again under vary
ing conditions before it would be pos
sible to assume that real progress has
been made on the cancer problem.
The outstanding difficulty has been
to isolate the chemical agent with
which the micro-organism OF cancer
operates. Its nature has not yet been
definitely determined and Dr.. eyes
investigations are proceeding with the
object of deciding this factor.
New papers are soon to be publish
ed detailing the latest investigation Of
Mr.. Barnard which led to his discov-
cry OF the ultramicroscopic organism
Of cancer by means OF invisible rays
1t is understood that chickens, anc
even mammals, have been inoculatec
with the cancer germ by DR.. Gye ano

CONGRESSMAN HITS
RURAL MAIL SERVICE
SAYS CARRIERS NOW WORK
ONLY FEW HOURS A DAY,
AND WOULD CUT FORCE.

Complete reorganization of the ru-
raj mail service of the United States
may be one of the problems for which
the next congress may have to find a
solution. Representative Hoch, OF
Kansas, is expected to introduce bill
providing for such a move during the
earlv sessions of the house of repre-
sentatives. He would seek to reduce
the number of rural mail carriers and
to increase the length OF the routes
they cover.
Automobile Makes Change.
In the old days of the horse and
buggy the rural mail carrier had to
work ali day to cover his route, which
averages so miles in length. Today,
though with the use OF the automo-
bile, the same route can be covered
with ease in three or four hours, Rep
resentative Hoch believes.
The rural mail carrier is paid $500
year and works only a few hours
each day. The farmers he serves, how
ever, work from dawn to dusk and
make not half thatssum, they contend.
In the west, it is said, the farmers
stand almost to a man for reorganiza-
ton Of the rural mail service.
Saving of Millions.
Mr.. Hoch estimates that if the rural
carrier force were reduced and the
fewer number of men compelled to
work eight hours a day to cover long
err routes with their automobiles the
government would save millions Of
dollars a year. This sum, he says,
could be applied to the postal deficit
or to extension of the rural service to
sections it does not now reach.
