BUCKNER GIVES,
STARTLING N E W
AS TO
BOOZE.
ellis Senate. Committee
About Industrial Alcohol
Diversion.
PRAISES DRY CHIEF
Says Diverted Alcohol Is
Even Sent To Canadian
BOOtleggers.
(By Dispatch A. P. Wirel

WASHINGTON, April Diversion
of industrial alcohol alone furnishes
an Illicit liquor traffic in this
country totaling three billion, SIX
hundred million dollars in sales,
Emory r. Buckner United States dis
trict attorney at New York City, es-
timated today befort the senate COM
mittee inquiring into conditions under
statutory prohibition.
This estimate startled the commit
tee and brought a gasp from the
crowd which packed the hearing room
on the third day of the inquiry.
BUT Buckner did not stop there,
adding $15,6OO,OOO to the total as the
value of the "cut'' whisky which
bootleg druggists" in New York
City alone put on the market.
The district attorney arrived at
his estimate by figuring a total di-
version of industrial alcohol to the
bootleg trade at 6O,OOO,00O gallons 70
year. Bootleggers cut this three
ways, he explained, producing total
of ,72O, ,O00, 900 quarts of Illicit liquor.
Placing the price at SIS quart--and
that is conservative-this makes a
total of $3,6O0,OO0,O0O, he said. I'VE
paw $40 a quart out in my country,
remarked Senator Reed, democrat,
Missouri, the one avowed wet on the
committee of five.
"You ought to know" interjected
Chairman Means as the crowd roared.
"I do" shot back Senator Reed ana
another shout went up.
Called as a witness by the vets,
who continued the presentation \ OF
their case at both morning and night
sessions, Buckner pictured an I'M
proyement in enforcement conditions.
He paid tribute to Assistant Secre-
t,ary Andrews, of the treasury, VINO
has charge of prohibition enforce
ment, declaring:
General Andrews is the best thing
that ever happened for prohibition"
Alcohol diversion has decreased ne
said, since Andrews took that sltua-
ton by the throat" last September
Taking the alcohol distflleries around
New York alone, he estimated that
General Andrews "a1cohol squad" had
reduced diversions to the point where
tho bootleg traffic had been lessened
in the sum total of S126,000,0OO in
potential sales.
The district attorney disclosed that
bootleg alcohol from this country
finds its way into Canada.
"The dry United States is export
ing bootleg industrial alcohol into
Canada" he said, "to help the Ca
madam bootleggers beat the Canadian
government out of taxes
Getting back to his own distrlc's
Buckner told of improvement there
since he took office 13 months ago.
He declared that at that time he
had found the federal building a
seething mass" of "fixers, bootleg
gers, walters and others arrested on
charges of law violations.
Federal judges told him, he added
that the very atmosphere of the
building breathed of collusion' and
he also had information that jury
fixing went on within the federal

NOBLE WOMAN
HIM
THROUGH NOSE
(ny Dispatch a. P. wire)

ROME, April 7.-Benito
Mussilini, strong man of
Italy, was near to death to-
day. He had just emerged
from the congress of sur
geons, and had raised his
arm in salute to the plaudits
of the. multitude, when a
woman pressed a revolver
into his face and fired. At
that very moment, Musso-
lini, as is his habit, threw
back his head; the bullet
passed through his nostrils
and with a quick step back
ward, the fascist premier
put his hand to his face and
drew it way covered with
blood.
His assailant, believed to be an
Irish woman, the honorable Violet Al
bina Gibson, the 50-year-old sister OF
Baron Ashbourne, a resident of COM
.piegne, France, was seized by a car
bineer and dragged to a place of safe
ty, for in an instant the thousands
who had gathered to acclaim the pre-
mier were in frenzy of excitement
and rage.
with Mussolini at the time were
Professor Roberto Alessandri and the
noted surgeons Raffaele Bastianelli,
and they hastened to his aid.
Bastianelli dressed the wound and
later issued statement saying:
''The premier was wounded by
fire arm the bullet penetrating both
nostrils, but without grave results"
Notwithstanding his injury, Musso-
lini desired to enter his automobile
but he was induced to return to the
capitol He was perfectly tranquil,
seemingly not thinking of himself.
and was only anxious that no grave
consequences among the people should
arise from the attempt.
II desire that the country not be
alarmed" he exclaimed. Il do not
want reprisals. 1t is my will"
Shortly afterward he reappeared be-
fore the crowds, who cheered him and
would have carried him shoulder high.
He smiled and again gave the Roman
salute, and then drove away with
Alessandri and Bastianelli.
The Honorable Violet Gibson was in
a state of prostration After her ar
rest she almost collapsed on realizing
that she had been saved from the in
furiated mob.
Acknowledging the. name of Violet
Albina Gibson she declined to make
any statement. The revolver which
she used is of French make. Only one
shot was fired. The weapon was fas-
tened to her wrist with handker-
chief. She had in her possession
bottle containing iodine, mixed with
some other liquid.
1t is only few days ago that Mus
solini in speech exclaimed:
1T is beautiful to live, but it is
still more beautiful, il it is necessary,
to die"
Because of the fact that the wom-
an who fired the shot is British sub
ject, the authorities are keeping spe-
cial vigilance over the foreign resi-
dents as measure of protection.
A proclamation was issued to tbs
fascist at Mussolini's instance urging
them to refrain from acts of reprisal
or violence.

worried over the disappearance of his
son, Douglas, Harvard student VINO
has been missing since last Friday.
He discounted reports that the youth

ports of the boys fate, Robinson said:
"This may not seem serious to the
college authorities, but it seems
mighty serious to me-"
The father said he first heard of his
sons disappearance in Savannah, Ga,
where he arrived on his way north
from Key West. He had planned to
fly from Washington to Boston but
gave it up on account of the fog. He
had had kilograms from his wife to-
day, he added, advising him not to be-
lieye reports that the son had been
discovered.
