Sen. Rlease Would Put
Nonpolitical Prophets
On List For Vagrancy

Having started the Senate Dis
trict Committee on a rather COM
plex investigation of District gov
ornamental affairs, Senator Cole
Blease of South Carolina has begun
. a war upon the Capitals host of
palmists and soothsayers.
In the vagrancy bill which he in
PRODUCED in the Senate yesterday,
| Senator Blease took pains to include
! in his definition of Migrants the
| phrase fortune tellers for fee or
I reward"
! There was nothing personal in
this, he explained, except that he
holds the opinion that nobody ever
talked with anyone in Heaven"
that persons who profess to tell the
future are consulted by Ignorant
people" and that these ignorant
people have to be protected"
Protests Expected
The bill was referred to the Judi
ciarv Committee, and it is expected
that not many hours will pass before
that body is in receipt of sundry
protests from the licensed clairvoy-
ants, mediums and palmists of the
Capital.
The last time that the readers

ing the last session, when a bill pro-
viding an appreciate increase in
the license fee for mediums and
palmists was introduced in the
House.
A report that the House District
Committee was to open hearings on
the measure brought a capacity at.
tendance of the persons affected to
the committee room.
They were ready to make pro
test as soon as the opportunity
offered itself, but Chairman Fred.
erick n. Zihlman obViated the diff
ficulty by referring the bill to
subcommittee which never reported
it out, and let it die.
More Drastic
The Blease bill, however, would be
even more drastic than the defunct
House measure, multiplying the
licenses of fortune tellers and caus-
ing their arrest on charges OF
vagrancy.
Conviction on the charge in the
District Supreme Court would sub

IS HELD IN DAY
UNDER JONES
DRY LAW

Tightening up prohibition

senatorial criticism was held

of the United States Attorney
securing prima facie cases
against 13 men, the largest
group of alleged bootleggers
ever held for the Grand Jury
in one day in the District
under the severe Jones Stalker
act.
Indications were that the total
will create a record SURPRISING that
of any other month since the law
was enacted. Just under fifty
liquor violators have been held for
tn grand jury in the firsts % days
of October, more than doubling the
entire number for September.
Lecture Aids Police
Because of the lecture, given a
few weeks ago. on correct Of proce-
dure in making out papers under
the Jones law, we have been able
to secure many more prima facia
cases against suspected bootleggers
Assistant United States ATTORNEY
David A. Hart said.
Formerly in most instances there
was not sufficient corroborative evil
dence to hold defendants for the
Grand Jury. But recently more eff
ficient handling of cases by mem,
hers OF the Police Department and
prohibition unit. both in handling
cases in court and in obtaining evi-
denCe, have enabled us to charge
many more under the Jones law"
he added. The lecture was given
three weeks ago by Hart and at
tended by all precinct captains and
lieutenants, precinct detectives and

VAGRANCY.
BILL HER

The vagrancy bill proposed
by Senator Cole Bic ase,
whereby all fortune tellers,
bootleggers, gam blers and
loafers convicted of vagrancy
may be sentenced to 500 fine
or 80 days in jail, may develop
debate between DR.. Jane
Coates, noted Washington
medium, and the South Caro-
lima Senator.
The spiritualist taday threw down
the gauntlet to Senator Blease in
a statement she says she will send
to him in which she states she will
"be most happy to be permitted to
discuss the question with the honor
able Senator on his own ground
under the dome of our Capitol.
In Different Class
DR.. Coates contends that mediums
belonging to Spiritualist organiZa-
tions should not be classed with
fortune-tellers who work independ-
emily.
II think 1t is about time spiritual
lists should rebel against the many
ISLANDERS laid to their door, Senator
Blease would hardly like someone
to call members of his church
Migrants because he did not believe
in that religion" the medium said.
The great trouble with so many
people is that they neither under
stand nor take the trouble TO learn
the difference between spiritualists
and fortune-tellers.
ITO predict the future. to advise
and console, is not fortune-tellinS.
The Bible. DR.. Coates says, is
founded on predictions coming to
seers and prophets. ITO deny this,
she says. lis to deny the Bible, the
foundation of Christianity"
Proposes Own Bill
DR.. Coates asks the Senator to
Introduce a second bill--"should
Epiritualsts associated with chartered
religious organizations be exempted
from the clairvoyant classification
of fortune-telling and be given their
constitutional rights of religious
freedom. that all other organized
bodies of worshippers of God enjoy.
q and will you go further. oh,
King Blease, live forever" the me-
dunn continues. "Will you see that
this bill does not meet an untimely
death in the hands of committee,
but is revived and reintfOduced on
the floor of the next regular ses-
SiOn?"

in this city will sell for 10 cents
per quart, one cent advance over
the present price Announcement
of the increase in price was made
following agreement reached by
dairymen supplying this city.
Reasons assigned for the increase
were that the drouth which rre-
vailed in this section during the
growing season made pasturage
and grain feed scarce and more eX-
peRsive in that much OF it will
have to be imported and that the
regulations of the health unit here,
which have just been put into eff
feet concerning milk that Is Of
fered for sale in the city, have
made necessary alteration in build
ings and in handling milk which
serve to increase somewhat the
handling cost.
