~ " 6. SENATOR FROM MISSOURI

those it had not been able to con-
troll.
But the attitude of the Anti
Saloon League changes when the
Judge on the bench is in sympathy
with that organizations scheme Of
reforms, F. Scott Mcbride recently
testified that he had attempted to
prevent the impeachment by con-
gress of a federal judge. charged
with tyranny and corruption, be-
cause he was a radical dry and i'm
posed severe penalties on violators
Of the prohibition law.
This judge later resigned. after
impeachment charges had been
adopted: consequently he was not
tried at the bar Of the United
States senate.
In addition TO the foregoing acts,
the intolerant drys have under
taken to influence the civil service
commission to qualify only known
drys for appointment as prohibition
agents. Wheeler, in letter in
structing state superintendent to
bring pressure on the commission,
stated that success meant that 1000
drys would be sworn permanently
into the service.
Even with all the power that had
been surrendered shamelessly to
them, they we're not satisfied. They
set up staff of their OWL spies to
spy upon the spies they had in
dorsed to be decorated with govern
ment badges to spy upon the people.
MYTH all this power in their
w hands, with a prohibition
commissioner of their own choosing
on the job. with, as his biographer
asserted, Wayne B. Wheeler run
ming the prohibition enforcement
bureau without official authority,
the country was demoralized, and
the government was disgraced by
the greatest and most malevolent
era of corruption in its history.
The country was plunged into a
disrespect for law, and into law
lessness that is without parallel.
Even that old stalwart prohibition
list, the late Judge Ebert H. Gary
of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration, almost in his dying breath
was forced to exclaim, criminal
conditions in the United States are
terrifying beyond belief.
Responsibility for this shocking
corruption of government, and de-
moralization of the whole people
rests squarely upon the shoulders OF
the professional reformers and cow
ardly public officials who surren-
dered the power of legislation and
the administration of government to
their intolerant hands.
The wave Of criminality that has
followed in the wake of intolerance
enthroned in power in our national
government imperilS the citizens
property, and life, itself. Even now,
further diminution of his rights is
contemplated.
Schemes are put forward to de-
prive the citizen of his constitu-
tional right of trial by jury.
To save the prohibition law and
perpetuate fat jobs for its "apos-
tolic delegates" trial by jury, the
traditional protection of the citi-
zen against the tyranny of gov
eminent, must go.
Prohibition administrators report
that nine out of every ten tips they
receive are anonymous. 1t is char

Otis Hefner, Missing Key Witness In Taylor Murder Mystery, Tells
 Version of Movie Mans Shooting

the person he asserted had commit ted the murder.)
 "Taylor and Sands had a falling out. Taylor left on q trip, and when he returned he publicly ac- Cuscd Sands of robbing his home of clothing and jcWelry. Sands didn't make any prctense of working for Taylor after that, but 1 think the robbery was all the bunk, for Sands continued to deliver the dope to Taylor and get his money for it.
 sands must have been about 40 years old in 1922. He was d pretty good sort of q guy, for crook; he always treated me square and 1 al ways got my money on time.

 Taylor Marked Man
 Word was passed around in this dope ring after awhile that Taylor had turned rat and was tipping us off to federal officials. 1 heard several conversations it. which il was remarked that Taylor would be bumped off if he didn't play square. At first l paid no attention, as a lot of that sort of talk was going around; but they kept repeating if and pretty soon 1 got really inter csted and began to think they meant business.
 "On the evening of February |, 1922, Sands aud | were out at Re dondo beach on a job and saw Fay Tor and --- ---- (naming two motion picture actrcsses) having dinner in q cafe.

 sands got a big limousine, which he said was Taylor's. He picked up his stuff and we drove out 10 AL yarado street.
 This was about o'clock in the morning. We parked the car across the street from Taylor's bungalow court.
 There was another limousine at the opposite curb, with a driver at the wheel. A woman was coming down the short steps from the en- trance of the bungalow court. She was wrapped in d fur coat-eith"r black or dark broWn-but 1 recog . nizcd her as --- -.
