mo FIRE WORKS
ON PROGRAM OF
DRYS FOR 1928
Sound and BuSinesS-Like
Methods Of Enforcement
Pledged by LoWman.
BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The
Governments prohibition program
for 1923 will be sound, business
like law enforcement, without
spectacular fireworks" Assistant
Secretary of Treasury Lowman an
nounced today.
prohibition will be enforced next
year by the same method now
used-Diligent, conscientious work
without campaigns or drives "
Lowman said. 1.-THE present system
of enforcing the law needs another
year, at least, for a test before there
are suggestions to change the
method"
Difficult Problems Faced
Summing up the prohibition sit
uation for 1927, Lowman said that.
in the last analysis, success or fall
ure Of enforcement operations Is
measured by the public opinion.
Estates having no local law en~
forcement codes, such as New York,
Maryland and Montana, present
serious problems and the Federal
officers have difficulty keeping
ahead Of bootleggers," he said.
I'm many districts, however, local
officers are backing Government
authorities, and real progress has
been made during the year. With
local cooperation, the present dry
machine can do an efficient job"
Needs Public'S Aid
Lowman said the Government de-
sires to win public opinion to
support Of the prohibition law, for
with only 5000 dry agents the
country can not be made arid with
out public support.
He said the outstanding achieve
ment of prohibition during 1927
was creation of a prohibition bureau
with a commissioner in charge and
an arrangement for prohibition,
customs and coast guard to work in
harmony.

POST0FFICE HANDLES
BRANDY FRUIT CAKES
Many From England, Scotland Come
For indianapolis Citizens.

Christmas will not be as cherries
as Andy Volstead intended it in
many Indianapolis homes this year,
due to thoughtfulness of friends in
foreign countries.
Several hundred old-fashioned
Christmas fruit cakes, with all the
pre-Volstead ingredients, have been
received through the Indianapolis
postoffice.
These cakes, made, for the most
part, in England and Scotland, con-
tain brandy.
ct guess Europeans are not as hard
hearted as they are pictured" q
tired postal worker said. People in
the old countries don't see how we
thirsty Americans can make good
fruit cakes without brandy. They
do their best to relieve the situa-
tion."

RACE ISSUE THORN
TO WAR OFFICIALS
Training Camps Exclusion OF
Negro Taken Up With
President.

War Department officials today de-
plored the fact that the race question
has been raised in connection with
the Citizens Military Training Camps
which will be held IN nine corps areas
this Summer.
Despite the fact that President
Coolidge has been asked to intervene
in behalf Of Marsden V. Burnel.-a
negro high school student of New
York, who was barred from the cit
liens camp in that area solely on &C
count of color. officials declared his @x-
clusion was in accordance with the
established policy.
The attention of President Coolidge
was called to the exclusion of Bar-
nell by a New York editor and in
reply, Everett Sanders, Secretary b.
the President. wrote that 'sby the
Presidents direction it is being
promptly brought TO the attention of
the officials of the War Department"
War Department officials explained
today that no such communication has
been received from the President as
yet.
1t was said at the War Depart
ment that arrangements had been
4Hdue 10 estaDNSn a training camp
| for negroes in each corps area II n
minimum of so qualified men aDplied
for admission. That number has not
qualified in the second or New York
area.
With the large colored population OF
| the District of Columbia. MARYLAND
and Virginia, it was said that no sep.
arate training camp for negroes has
| ever been held in the Sd Corps Area.
| OF which the District Is a part. The
reason given. it was explained. is a
lack OF applications from colored young
men desiring military training in this
| area.
With regard to this policy in the
training camps il was said the DEPART
| ment has adopted the same policy that
governs the enrolment of negro
troops in separate regiments In the
/ Army.
There are now four negro regiments
in the Regular Army. In the COM
| munication TO President Coolidge it
was emphasized that the barring OF
| Burnell was an insult added to in
/ Justice" The President was asked to
settle this question now and settle IL
right" in the interests of racial justice
and harmony. Upon applying for ad-
| mission to the New York camp IL
was explained that Burnell was told
/ he would have to enter a negro train

The Phantom considered while he
glanced at the papers Bimble handed
him. The statement was there, just as

actly as described in Piuto's statement.
Further, the story had all the ear

would have tried to invent a less

tom found that all his calculations and
theories in regard to the murder had
been upset by Pinto's surprising and
unexpected explanation.

You know the murderer"
Perhaps. was just curious to hear
what you would think"
There was wrinkle of perplexity
on the Phantom's brow. Assuming that
Pinto was innocent, the difficulties in
the way of solving the mystery and
exculrating himself had been vastly
complicated.
If Pinto didn't do it," persisted the
doctor suavely, who do you suppose
did,"
The Phantom could not tell why, but
the question gave him a mental jolt.
In the past few hours his concern for
Helen had claimed all his thoughts.
and before that he had been so firmly
convinced OF Pinto's guilt that there
had been no room in his mind for other
suspicious. The possibility that some
one other than the policeman might be
involved had not occurred to him.
He looked up and found the doctors
soft eyes searching his face with an
odd intensity. Bimble seemed intent
on ascertaining what deductions his
prisoner would make from Pintos
statement, and apparently this had
been the only reason for his call
