FIGHT: To BRING
DRY SHAKE-UP
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES


Spurred into feverish activity
by the storm Of violent criticism
over the way prohibition is being
enforced, every branch Of the
Government was moving top
speed today toward a radical
shake-up in the system, designed
to get results and to quiet the
furore.
Executive, legislative and ju-
dicial br:/lches were all in a tur-
moil of frantic endeavor to ac-
complish something, and for the
first time in years there appeared
to be some cooperation in their
efforts.
The developments were these:
/. The Treasury has suddenly
become "hard-boiled" in the mat.
ter Of gun-play enforcement. Sec
retary Mellon justified the Coast
Guards killing of three men
aboard the rum-runner Black
Duck and announced a policy of
real warfare against Smugglers,
declaring smuggling cannot be
stopped without violence"
Cut Is Ordered
2. A reduction Of IS per cent
has been ordered by the Treasury
in the production OF industrial
alcohol for 1880. This means
about 100000 gallons less al
cohol for this year. It is the
diversion Of this alcohol to- boot
leg channels that Senator Borah
(R) of Idaho considers the
greatest leakage in prohibition en-
forcement and "the greatest dis,
grace"
3. The Department OF Jutice
has decided to take two highly
important questions to the Sill
preme Court for determination
one as to whether the purchaser
Of liquor can he prosecuted under
existing law, and the other as to
whether a person ordering liquor
by telephone or telegraph can
not be prosecuted for conspiracy
to transport it.
Will Tighten Up
4. Congress is getting ready to
order the transfer of enforcement
from the Treasury to the Depart
ment Of Justice, and to create a
joint committee to tighten up
and codify some IS existing pro
hibition statutes.
5. The National Capital itself
is to be made the experimental
guinea pig Of enforcement en-
deavor. Attorney General Mitchell
has asked Congress to make every
patrolman on his beat a prohibi
tion agent, and provide two more
Federal judges to handle the pro
hibition congestion in the courts
Meanwhile, the storm of criti
ciSm blew on with scarcely dimin
iShed force, with the drys them
selves furnishing most of it anc
warning among themselves.

Americans Will Spend
3 Million for Hosiery

Hosiery during 1890 will prob

circles as step forward alternating

Reports that the rexae delegation in
Congress would initiate such legislation,
with a proviso that $5,000,00 of the
fund be allotted their State, followed
closely an announcement by G. L. Hoff-
man, head of the Federal seed loan
office, that his funds had been COM
pletely wiped out under barrage of APP
plications that was running high into
the hundreds daily.
Seed loans require no further secur-

farmer expects to produce, and the
farmer pays nothing more than the S
per cent interest assessed for the actual
number of days the loan is in effect.
Hoffman said nearly 80 per cent of

ferers In Georgia, Alabama, South
