WASHINGTON AS A MORAL CITY

It is said that Washington will never become a mcticulously moral city because it is too close 10 Balti- more. If Washington becomes the model city of the nation. as President Hoover would have it, the ride to Baltimore is only 40 miles, there are two railroads, a trolley line, in numerable bus lines. and a boule- ward for private chariots.
 Again an agitation has started in the nations capital 10 moralizc it. The federal attorneys office began the cleanup by getting interested in widespread betting that inundatcs the town. It isn't for us to tell him that people do with their money pretty much as they see fit, and that in Washington, as elsewhere, they eral newspapers have been induced 10 discontinue printing the clearing house reports and the treasury re- ports; the others refuse to suppress news at the behcst of a moral gov ernmcnt. The betting addicts have come forward with yawn and the statement that horse race figures, weather reports, the stock market list and innumerable other financial information is just as handy for their purposes Or, if nothing of the sort any longer is printed In Washington, perhaps the goddess papers from elsewhere would furnish the in formation. The Baltimore Sun, for instance penetrates all over Wash inston and doesn't overlook any figures.
 Then there is the liquor racket. which a senator who is q dry and who supported Mir. Hoover in the election stated is getting beyond en- duranCp It was just about year ago that the Washington police got through cleaning up this ncfarious and illicit traffic and the announce mcnt was at hand that everything was well done. Even a truck load Of | hard liquor consigned to a Wash = ington embassy was held up on the and then there was a bit of trouble | Such difficulties were to be avoided in the future by having two truck drivers on every such truck, osten- sbly one to drive it and the other to wave his hands at the Washington police.
 The outburst of the dry senator at this time is surprising. MT Hoover, shocked, has demanded proof, in- cIuding date and place. It is clear ! from this that emissaries from the 1 White House are not well acquainted
 with the city.
 The boulevard from Baltimore to | Washington mostly runs through the ! Maryland Free State Maryland cops are notorious in some respects. One Of their inclinations Is not 10 take liquor running seriously. If there i'
 10 be curtailmont of the suppl! curtailed by federal agents them
 selves. That point is selfeviden
 down that way.

 apart In mystical, fragrant gloom. I'll go where the feathery grasses To gaze in the placid brook, l want 10 go out 10 the woodlands And never give them a look, I want to go back to country

Mrs. Kapinos, Poplar
Hurt in Car Accident
(GlasgoW Courler)

Mrs. Fred Kapinos Of Poplar,
enroute to Glasgow Tuesday morn
ing to see her son, who is a pa
tient in the Deaconess hospital
and underwent an operation that
day, had a serious automobile &C
cident en- route and is herself a
patient in the hospital suffering
from a number of severe lacera-
tions.
The accident occurred near Fra
ger between eight and ten O'Clock
in the morning. 1t is thought that
Mrs. Kapinos tainted away while
driving as she has no memory OF
the accident and that the a ran
off the road and must have turn
ed over, perhaps more than once.
The car was badly damaged.
Mrs. Kapinos states that she
had had to stop the a several
times near Wolf Point because of
illness and had decided to stop
at Frazer and get some n to
drive her the remainder of the
way to Glasgow.
She was first seen by a travel
ing man passing on the road who
saw the badly damaged a with
its hind wheels in the ditch and
front wheels on the highway and
Mrs. Kapinos sitting at the steer
ing wheel, apparently trying to
get back upon the road. When he
tried to help he found her covered
with blood and obviously delirious.
c. w. Flint of Frazer came along
at about that time and the two
men succeeded in bringing her to
Glasgow. She was brought imme-
diately to the hospital, where her
wounds were dressed. 1t is expect
ed that her injuries will heal rap
idly without any serious after eff
fects.

any seals on hand, or something
of the sort, so they weren't in
need of any beer bottles that day.
Then the kids went into an old
shack or shed right back of the
Babcock place and got three pints
of what they called whiskey. They
seemed to know just where to look
for the bottles. There was a pile
of chips and hay in n corner.
Underneath it was a loose board
All they had to do was to push
the hay aside, lift up the board,
and there was the "whiskey" The
boys took three bottles and went
out and sold two of them for a
dollar apiece. They divided the
money. Then the 15-year old lad
made some sort of settlement with
the 13-year old and kept the third
bottle for himself. And it was on
part of the contents of that bot
tie that he got drunk, SC drunk
that he fell down a few times on
the way home, and then was
deathly sick when he got there.
Peculiar Circumstance
But Babcock hadn't given them
the liquor, neither had he sold it
to them. OF that n point both
boys are positive. The younger
boy was glibly sure that he had
MT even seen Babcock on Saturday
and didn't know to whom the 9th
er boy had sold the bottles. The
boys were of the opinion that Bah
cock didn't ven e them take
the bottles when they left. But
there was no question raised by
either side as to who told them
where the cache was or how they
could get into it.
Babcock's attorney, Ernest L.
Walton, asked for a dismissal ON
the grounds that nc evidence had
been introduced to substantiate
the charges or connect the defend
ant with the case. The case was
accordingly dismissed.
(The ame of these boys men
toned r in the records of the
court but are withheld from pub
LEGATION through consideration for
them.)

also a native Of New York, but in
1855 removed to the ne~ighborhood
of Herricksville, Mich, where he
died in 1868, leaving a widow who
resided there for many years.
AR. McCone was educated in the
public schools and when he was
II years old began life for him
self as a farm laborer and also
worked in the pineries OF Michi-
gan. In 1877 he went to the Indian
Territory and carried the mails
from Fort Reno to Fort Sill for
a year. The next spring he went
to Bismarck and engaged in carry
ing the mails from that city to
Fort Keogh until the fall Of 1881,
at the same time having charge of
the government hay, grain and
wool teams between these two
places. In the spring of 1882 he
embarked in the cattle business
on Burns creek, about 40 miles
from Glendive, and since that time
had engaged in shipping cattle,
sheep and horses from this sec
ton of the state. In July, 1882, he
was given the contract for carry
ing the mails from Glendive to
Fort Buford and from that place
to Wolf Point, and he performed
the work faithfully for six years
and until the completion of the
Northern Pacific railroad in 1888.
Active in Politics
In politics Mr.. McCone was a re-
publican. He was appointed a mem
Der of the first board of county
commissioners for Dawson county,
and at the first general election
after his appointment, which &C.
Cured in 1882, he was elected to
the office and held it continually
until 1900. In the fall of that year
he was chosen as one of the re-
representatives. of his county in the
state legislature, and in that body
was conspicuous for close atten-
ton to it's business, a wide know
ledge of the needs and conditions
of the state, his stern adherence
to what he believed to be right,
and his fe~arlessness and vigor in

WANTS HOOVER TO
DRY UP CAPITAL
SAYS PRESIDENT CAN EN-
FORCE DRY LAWS IF
HE WILL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Pro
hibition forced its way into he tar
if discussion in the senate Sat
nrdey, Senator Howell, Republi
can, Nebraska, asserting the pres
ident could enforce the dry laws II
he insisted upon it.
This was the first discussion OF
prohibition since the senate recon
vened after the summer recess
Howell, a dry, diverted only brief
ly from his tariff bill debate and
failed to provoke any remarks on
the subject from other senators
present.
If the president insisted upon
prohibition enforcement in the
District of Columbia, the Nebras-
kan said, officials charged with
enforcement would do their job.
All the president would have to
do. Howell asserted, would be to
call in the capital officials and
threaten them with employing Sc
cret service to gather information
of liquor violations.
Senator Howell said there Is
no doubt that embassies in Wash
ington can legally have liquor on
their premises, but he %contended
that liquor could not be shipped
legally to these establishments.
The minute a ship bearing liquor
passes the 12-mile limit. the SEN
ator asserted. a violation has been
committed.
1.-The reason this thing isn't
stopped" Howell said, "is because
there isn't the will to see it stop

Investigation Promised
The White House late today is
sued a statement calling upon SEN
ator Howell, republican, Nebraska,
for definite facts" supporting his
charges of prohibition law viola
tions in the District of Columbia
in connection with which he as
serted that the liquor laws could
be enforced here if the president
insisted upon it.
After saying that the chief ex-
ecutive is confident the Nebras-
kan would not make such charges
unless they were based upon def
mite information as to the times
and places of violations, the state
ment asserted that if the senator
would lay any such information
before the department of justice,
a vigorous investigation would fol
low. 1t is intended. the statement
added, that prohibition enforce
ment in the District of Columbia
should be made a model for the
rest of the country.
The statement also said that
Senator HowelTs charges serious
ly impugned the good faith of the
enforcement officials of the dis
trict.
Howelrs remarks were made
Saturday in the senate. He said
that the president could enforce
the dry laws in Washington if he
insisted upon it and suggested that

capital together and threaten to
