gress for Appro-
81. priation

government will manufacture three
million gallons of medicinal whis-
key year in its own distillery. If
congress passes bill now being
drafted by General Lincoln C. An
drews. assistant secretary Of the
treasury In charge Of prohibition
and customs.
When General Andrews first
pointed out the need for emergency
legislation in this session Of con-
gress to provide for replenishing the
supply Of medicinal whiskey. 1t was
generally understood that he intend
ed to allow privately owned distil-
leries to manufacture the liquor IN
der government supervision, but 1t
was authoritatively and exclusively
learned by this correspondent today
that Genarl Andrews will ask con-
gress to authorize the establishment
of a government distillery to manu-
facture all whiskey to be used In the
future for medicinal purposes.
This bill will be introduced as
soon as congress convenes and will
be the only prohibition legislation
asked by the administration at this
congress session.
General Andrews will ask its
prompt passage as emergency legis-
lation as the present stores OF medi-
cinal whiskey will be exhausted in
five years. and a five year ageing
period is necessary to produce good
Whiskey.
1t Is expected to be the sensation
OF the short session and will prob
ably arouse more heated discussion
than any measure since the prohibit
ton amendment was adopted. Gen
eral Andrews has persisted In his
advocacy of government manufac-
ture of medicinal whiskey ever since
he has been in charge of prohibit

few weeks the plan has been oppos-

DRY Law HELPFUL, is
VERDICT OF Chief HART
Prohibition Keeping Down
Drunkenness, Police
Head Declares

Prohibition has cut down the
number Of arrests for drunkenness
in New Britain, according to Chief
of Police William c. Hart, who spoke
today to the Rotary club Of the New
Britain General hospital Chief Hart
called attention to the fact that in
1910 before prohibition there were
$40 arrests for drunkenness, in 1916
he said there were 566 arrests for
this offense. In 1919 after prohibi-
ton went into effect. he said, the
number of arrests for drunkenness
fell off to $50. Later the bootleggers
got in some of their work, and in
1925, although the city has in
creased greatly in population, there
still were only 375 arrests for this
offense, he said.
The first complaint Of the new po-
lice signal system has been received,
according to the chief. one man
having notified the department that
the signal interferes with his radio.
What can be done about it the po-
lice department head did not state.
An amusing little scene was en-
acted for the benefit of Chief Hart
when during the early part Of the
meeting an inferno disguised as an
organ grinder with his monkey,
strolled into the meeting, insisting
that he had heard the music and
came in to help sing. Miss Mary Par
son, nurse, dressed in a police uni
form and carrying a stuffed club
came in and escorted him out. Miss
Parsons then returned and decorat-
ed James S. North, president of the
training school, with a parking tag,
tearing off the stub and handing it
to Chief Hart. DIR. Reeks with false
beard and wig, acting as judge, was
told by the chief that Mr.. North was
arrested on charge Of driving a car
with parts which did not move and
with parking in the nurses dining
room. He pleaded guilty and was
ordered to eat mo more fish cakes
for year.
Chief Hart gave brief resume of
the history OF the police department
from the time when A. w. Spaulding
was chief of department with
seven men under him in 1872 to the
present time when the department
consists of a chief, captain, lieu

She has No Hatred for Mrs. Hall

Somerville, n. j., Nov. 19.-GP-
Today I am sending flowers and a
little note to Mrs. Gibson. I Just
want to show my appreciation for
her heroism. No war hero ever did
a Drawer thing than she did yester-
day when she defied death for the
truth.
l shall never forget that last
dramatic scene as she was being
taken from the courtroom after she
has finished her testimony. The jury
had already gone out and the room
was buzzing with excitement. Sud
denly Mrs. Gibson raised herself
weakly and shook her finger at Mrs.
Hall and her two brothers and said
with all the force she could COM
mand; Il told the truth, so help me
God. and you know it." She said
that knowing that any minute she
may go out to meet her God. Could
ing a lie?
Today the defense has its chance.
The prosecutions case Is complete.
The fevered hand of Mrs. Gibson
crept out from the shadow of death
and pointed out those three people
accused of killing my mother and
DR.. Hall. She was so positive in her
Identification, and nothing the de-
Tense lawyers did could shake her
from her story.
Mrs. Hall sat stolid. Like a block
OF stone. Once she smiled a cold
smile when she was asked to take
off her hat so Mrs. Gibson could see
her we'll. But otherwise she gave
could scream, Just looking at her.
Why doesn't she do something to
show she is human?
Mrs. Halls Friends In Court
She had friends in court yester-
day. They looked like society peo-
pie and high church people. Some
OF them were sitting in the row re-
served for witnesses. Two were in
the seats my aunt and I have been
occupying every day. Then the judge
ordered those who didn't have sub
poenas to be put out. Soon sub
poenas were forthcoming for these
people. Maybe the actually were
witnesses, but I have an idea that
those subpoenas were merely tickets
to the SHOW" handed out to friends
of the defense. Anyway it didn't
court for much. l had to find a
seat as best l could. I am only the
daughter of the poor Mills family.
I cried when Mrs. Gibson was tell
ing her story. l realized then for
the first time what she was doing,
risking her life for truth and justice.
She was so pitiful, lying there with
doctor and nurse at her side,
watching her every breath. I sup
pose, too, it made me cry because 1t
reminded me in way of my moth
err that time she was so sick after
the operation. She was near death.

me-" And she did get WELL just
know that DR.. Halls love saved her
from death.
While Mps. Gibson was testifying
