WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. = Deaths from poison liquor, which in re- cent years has occurred during the Christmas holidays, are improbable this year, Prohibition Commis- sioner Doran said, because there has been little diversion of de- natured alcohol.

 Commissioner Doran said that in each of the GO industrial alcohol plants there are from two to eight inspectors checking removal of all alcohol and following it to its final disposition.

ARREST FORMER
ARMY man IN
ARTISTS HOME
Divorce Action Looms as
Result of Statutory
Charge.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. ia vigorous
prosecution of Colonel Frederick E.
Humphreys, arrested on statutory
charge in the Westport, Conn, home
Of Ethel Plummer, the illustrator,
was predicted today by Humphreys
wife.
Mrs. Humphreys, although declin-
ing to say whether or not her &C
ton in causing her husbands ar
rest was the opening incident of a
divorce proceeding, asserted that her
New York home was closed to him
and that when the case is called for
trial next Thursday in Westport she
will present additional information
bearing on the situation.
Colonel Humphreys, West Point
graduate and a ri-neer n aviaticn,
resigned from the army in 1910 to
handle the drug business built up
by his grandfather, the late DR..
Frederick Humphreys. During the
World war he joined the New York
National Guard and served as a
staff officer
Miss PIummer is the former wife of
Norman Jacobsen, an artist living
in Paris. She was indignant at the
arrest, asserting that Humphreys
was house guest and that the early
morning visit of officers was a mys-
terry to her.
Humphreys was released on $1,000
bond and returned to New York.
