GILLIOM PUSHES
FIGHT ON KHAN
Awaits Date of Argument in
Court.

stalemated in his suit to GUST the
through recess of the Marion Cir
cult Court Attorney General Arthur
L. Gilliom is awaiting setting of a
date for oral argument so that he
may continue the attack.
The suit, begun last spring. has
languished after six dispositions were
taken because Of legal technicalities.
The first was the change of venue
from Judge Harry o. Chamberlin,
sought by attorneys for the Khan,
led by Charles j. Orbison.
Frederick Van Mugs was selected
as special judge.
Gilliom then awaited answers to
the ITO questions he fired at Khan
heads. He had been notified, how
ever, than Khan attorneys have
asked for an oral argument on the
right of the State to file the inter-
rogatories.
At the same time the Khan has
filed a plea in abatement of the
suit and this question will also be
settled in the oral arguments.
Following the decision in the
argument Gilliom expects to take a
number Of dispositions from promi-
nent Khan leaders, whose identity
he does not care at present to di-
vulge.
Date for the oral argument has
not been set.

for large part of the Nations gin.
Z Most of the alcohol plants-there
are supposed to be at least eight
large ones here-run as perfume
factories, and the alcohol, which is
shipped out on trains, is labeled
either perfume" or paint"
The large volume of alcohol that
moves out Of Philadelphia each week
makes its imperative that the liquor
syndicate have a small army of
guards and "trailers." So the
gangsters hire themselves out to the
syndicate to see that the liquor ship
ment reaches its destination.
When one gang is in the hire of
the syndicate, the rival group will
turn hijackers and stick-up men to
earn its living. Thus there is a con-
slant warfare.
The thing that must be remem-
bered about bootlegging in Phila-
delphia is that it is a business.
There are no mock heroics, no con-
ferences around suffering candle,
none of the scenes with which movie
audiences have grown familiar.
The work is done openly, expenses
are budgeted, and a set profit must
be made each month.
True, the gangster- guards carry
pump guns, but they have them for
the same reason that a travelling
salesman has a fountain pen, be-
cause it is needed in the business.

One of the commanding paintings
in oil in the exhibit is done in oil
by S. P. Baus of indianapolis. This
painting received first prize in oil
on any subject and shows an old

Another one that is favorite IS

SMALL 'LEGGER

Little SpeakeasieS Wrecked

gang situation IN Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.-The
rise of gang rule in Philadelphia has
placed the small speakeasy proprie-
tor in difficult position. He has a
choice between paying out most OF
his profits for protection or going
out of business.
The result is that many of the
speakeasieS are passing from the
control Of independent owners into
the hands Of the liquor syndicate
that is only too glad to eliminate
the middleman and thus increase its
own earnings.
The former owner of a modest
speakeasy on Walnut ST. explained
the situation

"a member Of one of the two big
gangs came into my place about
two months ago" he said. "And
demanded $500. had to give it to
him, otherwise my place would have
been held up every night or so until
there would have been no stock left.
1.-TWO nights later a member OF
the rival gang came in and said he
would guarantee to protect me
against hold-ups if I would give him
$500. I told him I just had paid out
$500 for months protection against
stick-ups and hijacking and that
couldn't afford to pay out any more.
"'All right the gangster said,
then I'll stick up your joint right
now
Il had to give him the $500 or
lose all my stock. Shakedowns like
that are what drive us out of bust

Sweat" whisky is made by OBJ
tanning charred barrels in which
bona f1de liquor has been aged in
Canada or Cuba. Into these barrels
is poured the raw corn and rye
whisky which the bootleggers make
The kegs then are placed in a

The alcohol trade Is transacted
on bigger scale, and shipments are
made to all sections of the country.

BETSY ROSS HOME OFFERED
AGAIN TO PHILADELPHIA
Birthplace of Nations Flag Proves I'm
wanted Child Among City and State
Governments-Fire Hazard Great.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, october 3.-Once
again the historic house of Betsy Ross,
known to generations of Americans as
the traditional birthplace of the Ameri-
can flag, has been offered to the city
of Philadelphia. just as it has been
offered to virtually every administra-
ton in the last 20 years.
At the first Fall session Of city coun-
Gil Mayor Mackey appealed to that
body to accept title to the property
from the American Flag House and
Betsy Ross Association on condition
that the city agree to maintain it per-
petually and meet the conditions of The
present owners; namely. that the ad-
Joining properties be purchased and the
house protected from fire hazard.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on city property and service, and
at present awaits the meeting of that
body. Whether the recommendation Of
his honor will be returned to council in
the form of an ordinance or die in
committee. as have the recommended
tons of former mayors, remains to be
seen.
If the latter proves true. it will be
only another chapter in the unusual
story of the little brick house at 239
Arch street, revered by the Nation and
treated like an unloved step-child by
its natural guardians. To the school
child in Iowa or Texas, who has studied
the picture of Betsy Ross home in his
school book and read the historic legend
of what occurred in the little back par
lor. that there should be doubt prob
ably seems unbelievable.
Always Declined.
Yet the owning association has
sought in vain to transfer title to some
branch of government The Federal,
State and municipal governments have
all looked the gift horse in the mouth.
In 1907 Mayor Reyburn made a pretty
little speech of acceptance. but it
proved premature. Council declined to
accept.
Other mayors have approved taking
the house over, some suggesting that it
be moved from its present location to
Paramount Park. Once the association
refrained from paying taxes for four
years and though accused of neglect
ing to do so in order to buy the prop
erty at Sheriff's sale to clear possible
flaw in title. the president said the true

motive was to push it into the hands OF
the city.
Unfortunately the effort failed when
writ of Scire faciaS was issued and a
patriotic citizen, unaware of this subtle
plan, came forward and paid the lien
Fire Hazard Great.
Fire is the impelling cause of the as
sociation's desire to have the city as
sumo guardianship of the Ross home.
It stands in an old section, Sandwiched
between two brick structures with a bad
fire exposure. Half a block away, in
Second street, stands historic Christ
Church, where Betsy Ross once wor-
SHIPPED, as did George Washington
and many other famous men of colonial
days.
According to Charles H. Weisgerber, a
founder of the association, during a
two-year period 500 fire alarms were
turned in within two blocks of the site.
September 10. fire next door menaced
the property and influenced Mayor
Mackey in his address at the opening
of city council.
Probably no shrine occupying SINH
lar place in the hearts of the American
people has passed through the ViciSsi-
tudes of the little brick house asso-
ciated with the first American flag.
In 1870 William J. Candy, grandson
of Betsy Ross. read paper before the
Historical Society of Pennsylvania, set
ting forth the tale told him by his
aunt, Clarissa Sidney Wilson, in 1857,
on the eve of her retirement as the sue
cessor of Betsy Ross Claypoole. Up
until few years before, this business,
at 239 Arch street, had made flags for
the Government continuously for more
than half century.
This focused the attention of the
public on the Arch street house, then
one of the few early homes which re-
manned standing before the march OF
business, Philip Mund held a squat
ter's claim to the premises and had
occupied 1t since 1889
That year, according to Mund, he
leased the house from a man described
as a weakened old fellow, and whose
identity remains mystery today.
Mund first kept tailor shop, but
changed it to saloon. When inter-
est rested on it as the birthplace of
the flag, an establishment of the front
of the saloon became a picture of the
flag, a large stein of beer labeled 5
cents. and the caption, ITO the Flat
The tale told by Clarissa Wilson to
