New York, March II P-The New York World today quotes Henry Ford as saying that the big money interests of New York are back of the bootleeging in this country. and that liquor interests are concentrat- ing near his factories in Dearborn, Mich, because they know he is a dry.
 The World sent staff representa- tive to Dearborn to establish, it eX- plains, how much comfort and pros perity the eighteenth amendment has brought to Dearborn. The mis- sion was inspired by Ford's telegram last week to the house judiciary committee describing the amend ment as the greatest force for con- fort and prosperity of the United States.
 DO you think I don't know who is back of the bootlegging in this country?" Ford is quoted.
 Tt is the big money interests in New York. You don't think that the bootlegser. could finance these big liquor deals themselves, do you'

 Why are the New York news papers so interested in prohibition ? I'll tell you why. It is because they arc controlled and they do what they are told. Everybody wants to aI, ,,,, Iat,rx, Ecrd'a A

OCHS TALKS WITH
 BYRD OVER RADIO
Publisher and Explorers Con-
 Yer@tion RebroadCast Today

New York, March II tUP) )-Rear Admiral Richard F. Byrd carried on . radio conversation from Dunedin, N. Z., today with Adolph $. Ochs of the New York Times, who spoke from the United States.
 Ochs, speaking through Station WGY, the General Electrc's power- ful short wave station at Schenec- tady, N. Y, congratulated Byrd on his successful expedition to the South Pole.
 You have won a place among the immortals," Ochs told the flying admiral. You have added an empire to the territory of the United States and the American flag is now flying at the North and South Poles"
 Explorer Thanks People
 Byrd. in response, thanked Ochs, the millions of Americans who have become interested in his explora- tions, and those who made the visit successful. He said he was ''over- whelmed' at the reception being planned for him and the interest shown in his voyage.
 This great tTo-way broadcast carrying two conversations more than 10000 miles-was put through with a minimum of effort and re- broadcast to millions of listeners through the United States and even Europe. In tho United States the conversations were robroadcast by the National Broadcasting company and a short wave station st the Schenectady plant of the General Electric carried the conversation to England and Germany.
 It was literally today talking into tomorrow. Ochs started talking at 7:351s, F. S. T., which correspond ed to 12:351s a. m. Wednesday, March r, in Dunedin. In connec- tion with this Byrd was reminded by another speaker that March 1o is Ochs' birthday and Byrd was given opportunity of being the first to congratulate the publisher, the congratulations reaching Ochs be- fore his natal day.
 Ease Amazcs Listeners
 The case with which the call was put through amazed listeners. An employe Of the General Electric company started the lineup in hearing of the radio listeners in the United States-by calling in Sydney, Australia. Just as he might put in a long, distance telephone call, the en- ploye said he desired to talk with Dunedin and the Australian opera tor first connected the United States with Wellington, New Zealand, and finally the call was placed through to Dunedin.

REMOVAL OF REFUSE
Department ASKED
Dawson Urges Measure to Provide
More Room in District
Building.

With q view to providing more office
space In the District Building after
July /, Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Dawson is investigating the feasibility
of moving the city refuse department
and several of the other smaller ones
to District-owned quarters elsewhere in
the city.
He proposes to house the city refuse
personnel in the stable and repair
shops maintained by the division in an
alley in the vicinity of Thirteenth and
D streets southeast. This plan is not
particularly pleasing, 1t was said, to the
employees themselves, on account Of the
location.
The stables, where wagons used by
the department are repaired and
housed has a loft which Mai. Dawson
believes could be renodelled into Offices
for the force.
His plans also contemplate removal
of the insurance and playground d.
visions and the office of the superin-
tendent of weights and measures to the
Fendall Building, which the District
owns. Mai. Dawson said he has made
no recommendations to the Commits
sioners in regard to removal of these
various Offices and is merely studying
the problems which they entail in the
hope that removal eventually may be
effected. After July l many of the
larger departments OF the District will
need considerable more space, and the
District Building Is crowded enough as
1t Is, he explained.

.PARALY S|S INQUIRY
STARTED BY DORAN
Dry Head Visits South to
Study "Ginger" NAL
ady Causes.

A more intensive investigation into
the cause of the lake" paralysis prev
alent in many parts Of the country has
been instituted by Prohibition Commits
Sioner Doran.
Returning to Washington after q
two-week trip in Mississippi and Louis
lana, he said the connection consisted of
creosote, carbolic acid, alcohol and gin
ger havortng and contained some i'm
purity which was believed to be causing
the malady. He expressed the opinion
that the tmpurity was contained in the
creoSote.
The commissioner said that on the
Southern trip he received direct infor-
nation as to the activity of the dis
tributerS OF the connection.
Doran said that the drive would be
directed particularly against persons in
Northern Louisiana and Mississippi who
had been selling the bootleg Jamaica
ginger. He said there probably had
been as many as 5000 or 1000 cases Of
paralysis all throughout the South and
Southwest from the bootleg concoction.
Many victims show no Improvement
in this condition, said Commissioner
Doran. A few of the very mild cases
seem now to be recovering very slowly,
he added.

Those Who Already Have Es-
tabliShed Homes Elsewhere
Are Not Affected.
LEGISLATION IGNORED
UNDER WAR CONDITIONS
Fire Department Always Has Ad-
hered Strictly to Dis
trict Code.

Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent
Of police, has issued an order enforcing
a long-ignored District law requiring
members of the police force to reside
within the District of Columbia.
Hereafter, under the order all men,
berS Of the force must live within the
metropolitan district" except those
who have already established homes in
nearby Maryland and Virginia as the
result Of the war time housing condi-
ton"
The act of Congress establishing the
police force designated a "metropoli-
tan district" as the only place Of resi-
dence for members of the force. This
had always been interpreted as the
District of Columbia, but when houS-
ing conditions became so acute In
Washington as a result of the war, the
letter Of the law was not observed.
Like other Washingtonians, many po-
hcemen were compelled to seek resi-
dences outside the District.
Now that conditions have changed,
Maj. Pratt has restored the old law to
good graces, and present and future
members of the force must reside within
the District, except for those who have
previously established homes outside.
The real reason for enforcing the law,
however, is because Of the inconvenience
Of getting in touch with policemen when
they are needed in emergencies.
Maj. Pratt estimated approximately
200 policemen out of total of 1913 in
the entire force as maintaining resi-
dences in nearby Maryland and Virginia.
These, Of course, are unaffected by the
order, he explained, but new members
of the force must show q District resi-
dence hereafter.
Firemen Must Take Oath.
The Fire Department always has ad-
hered strictly to the law requiring fire.
men to live within the District, and
members joining the force must take
an oath that they live within reason
able distance of the fire quarters.
There are few isolated cases, how
ever, Of f1remen residing outside the
District. These are men who acquired
their homes during the housing elner-
gency, and which, for good reasons,
are being permitted to retain them.
1t is understood that those who do
reside outside the District limits are
located within very short distance
Of outlying fire stations to which they
are attached.
The Fire Department, 1t was said
rigidly requires all its members to live
inside the District.
