CITY DOCTOR INDICTED
AS DRUG LAW VIOLATOR
Other Physicians and Drug Store
Operators and Clerks Accused
in Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ca, September 1l.-Dr
John wilkins, city physician, and Alfred
L. Curtis, drug store operator and for
mer alderman, were under indictment
today with two other physicians, an
other drug store operator and two drug
clerks in connection with three alleged
conspiracies to violate the Harrison
narcotic act.
A total of 204 counts, covering the
purported operation of the conspiracies
over a period of two years, were re-
turned against the seven men by Fed
eral grand jury here yesterday. AL
seven denied the charges.
Narcotic agents said the physicians,
in conspiracy with the druggists, would
issue prescriptions to drug addicts for
imaginary illness which might call for
administration of morphine and other
narcotics, and that these prescriptions
then would be filled by the drug store
operators and employees. The agents
asserted they had learned former in
mates of the Atlanta Federal Peniten-
tiary were among those to receive pre-
scriptions.

his $500,000 bank manipulation will de-

Asked how he managed to manipulate

ed no dificulty getting the money.
"The composition OF the letters OF

Waggoner said today he engineered
the deal in the hope OF protecting
dopositors of his bank in Telluride.
1.-THE bottom dropped out OF things
in Telluride and desperate move was
necessary" Waggoner said.
Would Rather See Banks Lose.
"I would rather see the New York
banks lose money than the people of
Telluride, most of whom had worked
all their lives for the savings that were
deposited in my bank"
Waggoner declared he planned and
executed the deal by himself ana had
no confederates.
- The Bank of Telluride was closed
and placed in the hands of the State
banking department recently following
the disclosure of the half-mill1on dol
lar transaction in New York.
Meanwhile, the New York institu-
tions, which were victimized have been
making efforts to recover collateral
which Waggoner presumably forwarded
to the Telluride Bank after obtaining
the credit in New York. Colorado
banking department officials, on the
other hand, are attempting to seize the
collateral and apply 1t toward paying
of the Telluride depositors.
Waggoner declared that the decline
of Telluride, once prosperous mining
town, had hit his bank and that with
failure staring him in the face he con-
ceived the idea of protecting his de-
positors at the expense Of the New
York banks.

FACING A PROBLEM
Virginia Democrats Have but Short
Time in Which to Reform
Their Lines

J. N Aiken. editorial correspondent Of
the New York Times, points to the fact
that in all Of the southern states, except
Virginia, the Democratic party has two
years in which to close the breach opened
during the recent presidential campaign.
But in Virginia, the time for reforming
the party lines is short. Virginia holds
its gubernatorial elections in Oft years at
which election an Attorney General as
well as many other state and local officers
are chosen. Hence this election will be
he'd in November, 1929
Mr.. Aiken says that it is a foregone
conclusion that any candidate selected
must be dry, but that all drys are not ac-
ceptable to the forces that defeated Gov
ernor Smith, and that there seems to be
q considerable body Of opinion favorable
to The proposal that this group be allowed
to select its own candidates. Tt IS argued
that with candidates so chosen the anti
Smith Democrats Will have no excuse for
remaining out Of the party.

THE SHUMhKER CASE

January Is

The case against superintendent E. s.
Shunlaker, Of the Indiana Anti-Saloon

will be recalled that superintendent Shu-
maker was found guilty Of contempt Of
court in a majority opinion by the ST.
preme Court of the state, the vote being
three to two His alleged ofTense was
against this court which passed Judgment
upon him. He was ordered committed to
the state farm on a siXty-day sentence.
On his arrival at the farm he found
pardon awaiting him by Governor Jack
son.
Attorney General Gilliom, Who prose-
cuted the case, reopened it, contending
that the Governor has no power to par
don the olfense of contempt. Suparin-
tendent Shumaker was again brought be-
fore the Supreme Court and by the same
vote, three to two, was ordered recon-
mitted to the state farm to serve his SEN
tence, the court holding with Gilliom that
the Governor had exceeded his powers.
Shumaker was ordered committed to
the farm at once, but his attorneys ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus The
case was again taken before the court
where oral argument was made December
81 At the close of the oral argument the
court gave Shumaker'S attorneys until
Saturday, January II in which to file their
briefs, and the State until January Is to
file an answer brief and Shumakers at

burgh PoSt-Gasette. of December IT. dur
ing November inflicted damage amount
ing to 1923 $50 5 to bootleggers and their
allies in Western Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. These figures are set forth in
1 monthly report made public by John
d. Pennington, prohibition administra-
tor.
The enforcement work was conducted
under the supervision of Joseph A.
Frayne, assistant administrator To in
fiict this loss it cost the government
$45000. This shows that for every dollar
expended by the department, bootleggers
were hurt to the tune of $718. Forty

les were confiscated. Thirty-seven autos
were captured
The plants seized are estimated at

PROHIBITION NO JOKE

During the past fiscal year the
Government of the United States

the enforcement of the prohibition
law and shows that steady progress
has been made. The following fig

state courts but only in Federal
courts.
In the Federal court there were
1890 convictions in the past year
or more than 1900 a month and
more than $50 day. Fines aggre-
gated more than 100000 or near
ly 100000 a month or $4,000 a

Brewers Converting in Chicago Re-
organize for Continued Attack
on Prohibition

Hugh r. Fox, executive secretary OF the

dressing the national convention in Chi
cago, December 20, predicted that Presi-
dent-elect Hoover will be forced by the
facts and by the logic Of his own reason
ing TO the conclusion that the prohibition
law must be modified
The Associated Press quotes Mr.. Fox as
saying:
Mr.. Hoover is practical man and
he has had experience with all sorts
and conditions Of men in all coun-
tries. His logical approach will be a
preliminary survey to determine
whether it is possible to develop an
adequate enforcement plan without
further investigation and approx
mately what such a plan would COST
We surmise that the next step will
be the appointment Of a competent
commission to get facts as TO the con-
sequences Of prohibition and its work.
ability from the national standpoint
In short, 10 find out the causes of
prohibitions failure and what can be
done to remedy it.
If he appoints sUc.l a commission,
it will not be for the purpose of
evading his personal responsibility,
and he will not be satisfied with an
academic report.
We believe Mr.. Hoover should have
unlimited resources at his command

enforcement Of prohibition to such
test that there can be no question of
its success or failure. What the
country wants is showdown
Jacob Rupert, president of the as
ISOLATION, charged that the government
did not deal fairly with the brewers. IN
that no provision was made for the men
whose property and livelihood were af-
fected by prohibition. He said the un-
fairness was according to Anti-Saloon

RETURNS IL LARGE CITIES
Considering the Part Prohibition
Played in the Election

The returns in fourteen of the large
cities Of the country show remarkable re-
suits. 1T will be argued that because
Herbert Hoover carried eight of the four
teen largest cities of the country IN the
recent election and lost only four others
by comparatively sinai. maJouties, the
prohibition issue played very little part
in the campaign On the contrary, the
facts negative any such conclusion. Gov
ernor Smith was so insis ent about the
injection OF the prohibition issue into the
campaign that he made known his oppo-
sition TO prohibition before the Houston
convention finally adjourned. In his
speeches, especially at Milwaukee, Balti-
more and New York he emphasized this
opposition and went so far rs to attack
he Anu-Saloon League which had cham
piOned the cause of Mr.. Hoover on the
prohibition question. Mr.. RaSkoD, VINO
was Governor Smiths manager, made 1t
clear at the outset that his chief objection
TO the Republican position was its atti-
tude and that of the candidate on the
prohibition issue Mayor Walker, Of New
York bosom friend of Governor Smith,
emphasized over and over again the OPP
position of the Governor to prohibition.
AS We have stated in previous editions
the wet newspapers and politicians gener-
ally declared throughout the campaign
that the election would be referendum
on prohibition.
In the face of these ,acts me vote in
the fourteen large cities given below is
most significant Even If one is not will
ing to admit that the vote in the cities
represents their attitude on the liquor
question. 1t does show that even the large

the old saloon one of the main features of

iStry. He was one of the effective leaders
in voting the saloons out of Mt Horeb

pastorate in said places. 1t was while he
was pastor of the Plymouth Congrega-
tional Church in Madison in 1920 that he
was called into the work of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of Wisconsin. 1t was in that
campaign that the first dry Assembly in
the Wisconsin Legislature was elected
For more than eight years Mr.. Jones has
given all his time TO the work of the
Anti-Saloon League in this state with the
exception of two years as District Super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League in
Chicago under F. Scott Mcbride For the
last three years he has been Superinten-
dent of the Madison District.
In school training Mr.. Jones is a gradu-
ate of the University of Wisconsin and
the Chicago Theological Seminary
Mr.. Hooyer'S election has brought
new era in the anti-liquor reform In no
state does HooverS election mean more
than in Wisconsin. The program from
now must be more constructive, especially
along the educational lines. The effects
of use of alcohol upon the human body
should be taught more widely in the pub
lie schools. To this end a closer coopera-
ton with the w. G. T. u, Womens Clubs
and other organizations, will be worked
out under the new leadership. The
showing of the old saloon in the moving
pictures to the new and near-voterS in
high schools and churches will be further
featured.
Mr.. Jones enters his larger task with
the best wishes and backing of a large
circle of friends and copatriots in all the
denominations of the Church in WiScon-
sin.
