Putting Also Improves.
Despite the fact that the third match

the first American to win the British

found she had recovered her putting
touch. Throughout her first two

course, are responsible for inSuring the
posting Of adequate bonds by boot
leggers who seek release on bail pend

have failed to see to 1t that the bonds
posted were valid and collectible. The
result is that arrested bootleggers have
simply disappeared and bondsmen have
had to pay nothing.

POLICE SEEK CLUES
IN ACTORS DEATH
Robert Chapman, Leading
Man in Racy French Farce,
Killed in Frisco.
~ the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, August % (P-
The breath of mystery which have
haunted the paths Of actors in the racy
French farce, Easy for Zee Zee" since
its opening in a theater Of the Latin
quarter here year ago drew the atten-
ton of the police today as they investi-
gated the death plunge of Robert Chap
man, %. leading man in the comedy.
Chapman, son Of prominent Pied
mont, Calf, attorney, either jumped,
fell or was thrown to his death from the
sixth-story window of the apartment of
his friend, Allen Hoffman. playwright
and author, early yesterday morning.
Displaying a bruised face and other
marks of violence, Hoffman told police
that Chapman and he had just returned
from a party in the home of another
member of the Zee Zee cast. The door,
bell rang and Hoffman found two
strange men at the door. Hoffman said
he told them he had no liquor, where
upon they beat him into unconscious
ness.
When he came to his senses, he said,
the window was open and the crushed
body of Chapman lay at the bottom of
the light well, with police grouped
around 1t.
Scuffling Is Heard.
The occupant OF q nearby apartment
told OF hearing two men go to Hoff-
mans quarters, sounds of scuffling and
then silence, followed by a scream.
Finger prints, identified as Chapman's,
were found on the window sill.
Chapman was graduate Of the Uni
versity Of California.
His death recalled other mysterious
happenings involving Mama Wortova,
leading lady, and others In the cast.
Miss Wortova's name was linked with
that Of Gerri Ferri, gangster, who was
slain in his apartment above the thea
ter year ago. AS Ferris girl friend
the actress was questioned during the
investigation, which brought to light
various underworld happenings, but led
to no arrests. Others of the Zee Zee
cast were also drawn into the case be-
cause of their admitted friendship with
Ferri.
A few weeks ago Miss Wortova
known OF stage as Elaine Worth, ap-
peared at the city prison to visit Frank
Crupico, who had been arrested on a
statutory charge involving a girl. The
actress collapsed in the prison and re-
manned in a coma for several days
Upon awakening she announced she
was CrupicoS wife-an announcement
which met with denial from Crupico.

CANADA AND AUSTRALIA
British Meteorologists See Need of

LONDON, August 22.-Canada and
Australia may be approached shortly
in connection with British expeditions
to the north and south poles for ex-
ploratory and meteorological purposes.
Leading meteorologistS met at the air
ministry yesterday to consider weather
forecasting in particular relation to
aviation and agriculture with the en-
pire.
DR.. G. q. Simpson, director of the
British meteorological office, said: I'VE
cannot allow exploration Of the polar
regions to be done by foreigners; 1t Is
up to us to take a real share in it. If
there is going to be a definite attempt
to investigate the polar regions, north
and south, in 1882, we must be pre-
pared to take our part. VS. shall ap-
proach Canada and Australia about
sending out expeditions"
A British-Australian expedition is al
ready on the first leg of its journey to
the south polar regions, under Sir
Douglas MawSon, but the purpose OF
this expedition is mainly study Of
economic and fishing resources.

Where blame does attach to the Fed
eral Government is in failing to supply
the right kind of man-power in many
places during the past few years. The
human flaws. and not the legal flaws,
have furnished the loopholes through
which bootleggers have swarmed.
Legal Defects.
Lest the prohibition officials in the
Treasury Department complain that /
have been unfair to them and willfully
blind to the defects in tue Department
of Justices machinery for law enforce
ment, now call attention to some of
those defects.
AS things are now. the prohibition
I'VE gather plenty of evidence and ar
rest practically everybody who is in the
bootlegging business, but We can't make
any real progress in putting a stop to
the business because the Department OF
Justice falls down on its end of the job.
Give us the right kind of district at
torneys who will prosecute cases Wig
orouSly and secure convictions and long
sentences and we will soon have most
of the bootleggers out of business"
Certainly no one has a better under
standing of the glazing deficiencies and
defects in the prosecuting organizations
than I have. During my entire eight
years as Assistant Attorney General q
large part Of my time and energy was
necessarily devoted to prosecuting prose-
cutorS when ! should have had to do
nothing but direct prosecution Of people
the prosecutors should have prosecuted
For instance, a few years ago we re-
ceived complaints from many reputable
citizens of an Eastern city that prohibi-
ton cases assigned to an assistant
United States district attorney were be-
ing handled in an ineffective way. The
complaints were of such a character that
we ordered a thorough investigation.
The investigation disclosed that the
assistant district attorney, who had been
appointed through the political infiu-
ence Of a United States Senator, was
constantly conSorting with bootleggers
and other underworld characters, and
had shown evidences of wealth not at
all compatible with his salary of less
than $4,000 year. Among these EVIL
dences were purchases Of a high-priced
automobile and an expensive seaShore
home, payments being made in cash.

CLANCY PREDICTS
END Of DRY Law
Congressman Says It viii be
Forgotten in 10 Years

Washington. Feb. 1s.-(UP)-
Prohibition can not be enforced even
with use of the army and navy. and
within 10 years it will be forgotten.
Rep. Robert H. Clancy. wet repub-
lican of Michigan declared today.
He said Representative Sproui,
representative. Kansas, who declar-
ed a new era in prohibition would
develop within 10 years, was correct,
but that instead of the law becom-
ing perfected 1t would be abandon
ed.
ut Is virtually impossible to re-
peal or modify the prohibition law,
but the 18th amendment to the con-
stitution will be forgotten and go by
the boards in the same way the 18th
and 18th amendments went"
Clancy said.
''The more agents the government
details for dry law work the more
crime there will be. Already there
are more than 1000, 900 bootleggers
in the United States and this army
is growing"
Government Loses
Clancy said within the next 10
years congress will refuse to appro-
pirate funds for prohibition work. He
said the government is losing more
than $1,000 900 a year now in
taxes from the sale Of intoxicants
and the people will revolt against
paying taxes for law that prevents
legal collection of revenues.

has been in Pennsylvania. manufac
turing plants will spring up and
whiskey, beer. wines and ales will
be manufactured without Interior
ence" he said. 1.-THE government will
not be collecting one penny in taxes
from these wild cat plants but the
people will be obtaining their bever-
ages" he said.
Few Honest Agents
"It is virtually impossible for the
government to employ honest dry
agents Out OF % federal officers in
Detroit only one was honest and he
was discharged"
Clancy said prohibition kills
temperance. He said in 1918 there
were but 1907 saloons in Detroit
compared with 10000 speakeasies
today.
"The growth OF intemperance and
lawlessness and unregulated saloons
extends to all cities in the United
States" he alleged. prohibition can
not be enforced until congress
learns a way to prevent fermenta-
ton by nature. Meantime the law is
q farce"
