Crisis in Battle
For two years the great forces of
privilege and impartiality had been
maneuvering; innumerable small
skirmishes and few large engage
ment had taken place and the forces
of impartiality had become more ex-
pert through experience and study.
Now they were about to grapple in
a life and death struggle, strug-
gle that, while it might not have
resulted in immediate victory, would
have at least expelled every traitor
and put distinctive uniforms on the
combatants of both sides.
The Mayor of Philadelphia had
taken an oath as commander-in-ch chief
of our army. but for two years he
failed to appear at it's head. The
responsibility which was his and

never wore the uniform of this army

he never interfered in small scraps

BiIIion-DoIIar Bootleg In
dustry Pictured by Dis
triCt Attorney.

DV GVttth IItoo
WASHINGTON, April THE
"billion dollar bootleg industry" OF
New YorK, was pictured today by
Federal District Attorney Emory r.
Buckner of New York, before the
Senate beer hearings" as pouring
millions OF gallons of liquor into the
market. spreading simultaneously
corruption, bribery and fraud.
Corrupt conditions, he charged,
is existing i'm Overburdened courts,
and he asserted that prohibition
could not be enforced in the great
Metropolitan district under him so
long as b0OtIeggers bribed juries.
Sixty million gallons of diverted
alcohol last year found their way
into the bootleg trade in New York
said Buckner, who estimated this as
an increase of so per cent over a
year ago. At the rate Of S. a quart
for the bootlegged whisky" these
sixty million gallons eventually rep
resent a business Of the staggering
total of $500, 100000. he estimated.
Pipe Lines
Industrial alcohol. he said, was
poured in to pipe lines from denat lr
ing plants. Drug stores, he said
cheated in handling prescriptions in
volving drug store liquor" and not
all Of this was pure.
He advocated living wages for
Federal agents and their profession
be made respectable.
Grafters have become so eff
cient that the dry United States
now exports liquor through bootleg
channels to wet Canada, where the
product was sold secretly to avoid
payment of the Canadian liquor
tax, he said.
Buckner said, that under the law
all the physicians in New York
could only issue legitimate prescrip-
tons for 100000 gallons a year, but
that 4S0, 900 gallons were being with.
drawn.
Buckner was on the stand two
hours in the morning session of the
committee and will resume tonight
at 7:30 in a night session.
FiXers Operate
He charged that "fixers" were traf-
ticking in justice openly in the Fed
eral building in New York.
''In the course of a year at least
$4,000 bartenders, peddlers, walters
and fxers pass through the corridors
Of that building" he added. There
is an air of collusion there. even in
the civil parts of the building"
What do you mean by fixers?"
Senator Reed. Democrat, Missouri.
asked.
II mean those who traffic in JUS
tice; those who hang around the cor
ridors of the building and buy jury
men and with money influence the
memory of witnesses"
The prosecutor for America g
largest city said he had been in
formed that between 100000 and
100000 in bonds had been for
feited by bootleggers there. The
bonding companies had never paid
the money, he added, but the de-
PENDANTS had escaped. Further,
Buckner severely critized the system
whereby prohibition agents were
promoted according to the number
of arrests they made-whether they
were good arrests or not.
"Such a system for the promotion
Of inefficiency cannot be equalled, "
Buckner said.
The vets, already elated over the
testimony of Dry Enforcement Chief
Andrews, Tuesday, demanded extern
sion Of the investigation to permit
many of their witnesses to take the
stand who might otherwise be pre-
vented by time restriction.

Many Enemies
Mussolini has been the object of
would-be assassin's plots since Octo-
Der, 1922, when he organized and led
the spectacular Fascist march on
Rome which unseated the existing
Government and made Mussolini pre-
mier.
In creating his new Fascist gov
ernment, Mussolini found bitter op-
position, and in the early days the
rise to Fascism was marked with
continued violence. It's enemies were
attacked, slugged and beaten. They
retaliated. Their headquarters and
political clubs were raided and
wrecked. The approved Fascist man
ner of convincing a politician that
opposition was useless, was to seize
him, force a large dose of castor oil
down his throat and then parade
him through the street.
Plot Last Fall
Last autumn Mussolini was in the
shadow of death from a plotter' s

Engineers of National Board
of Underwriters Expected
to Begin Regular Survey
of Indianapolis - Lower
Rates Aim of Leaders.
HAZARDS, EQUIPMENT
ARE VITAL FACTORS
Dour-Year Battle to Get
Present Schedule Recalled
Difference in Estimates
Upon Losses This Year
May Figure.

City officials and civic leaders are
expected to start a fight for lower
insurance rates for Indianapolis
when engineers of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters start
inspection of Indianapolis fire
hazards and fire fighting equipment
soon.
The experts survey the city about
once every five years. The coming
visit recalls the battle, started
during the Jewett city administra-
ton six years ago, which resulted
two years ago in advancement of In
dianapolis to class 1 y fire insurance
rating and a consequent reduction in
rates. Indianapolis now aims at
class 1 rating.
The engineers study fire losses,
personnel of the fire department,
equipment and effect of politics upon
efficiency Of firemen.
Estimates Differ
One of the matters which may fig
Re in the survey is a difference in
Estimates upon fire losses for the
first three months of this year Fire
Chief Jesse Eutsell reported to the
board of safety the loss was esti-
mated at $255, 900 The indianapolis
salvage corps, directed by the under
Writers, estimates the loss at $297,-
600, E. M. Sellers, head of the In
diana Inspection Bureau of the un-
derwriters, said the salvage corps
figures are used in computating rate
ratings.
City officials and the Underwriters
dickered for almost four years be-
fore the rate cuts were obtained two
years ago. Protracted negotiations
are expected to follow the coming
survey.
Six years ago the Jewett board
Of safey attempted to meet every re
quirement of the underwriters. The
fire department was motorized, at a
cost of about $4,000 several fire
stations were relocated or rebuilt,
the two platoon system, necessitat-
ing addition of about one-third more
men, was installed; the Indianapolis
Water Company cooperated in ex-
tension Of water mains and better
ing of fire plug equipment and loca-
tion.
Shank Carried On
The Jewett administration ended
before the underwriters were salts
ned and with John j. O'Brien as
fire chief, the Shank administration
carried, on, finally to success.
The iJewett board attfmpted to
put at least the form Of civil service
into effect, being hampered consid-
erablyi by politicians. The Shank
administration overthrew the Jewett
organization to the extent thai the
personn' was almost reorgani2ed
The Duvall administration did the
same thing to the Shank fire de-
partment the first of this year.
1t is understood that the present
safety board is endeavoring to get
the fire department into tip-top
shape for the visit of the experts.

pleted a survey of Evansville, Ind.
