An official list of the o34 speak

seven-month period between septem-
Der. 1929, and April, 1890, on which
the now celebrated "speakeasy map" OF
washington was based by the Cru

turned over to the Department Of JUS

But what use the department pro-
poses to make of the list is Shrouded
in secrecy In fact, several officials
even denied that the department had
any interest in Washington speakeasies,
particularly those which had been
raided and closed by the liquor en-
forcement squads.
Clerk Got Original List.
It is known, however that a clerk IN
the Police Department got the original
list from the Crusaders and said he mad
been instructed to turn 1t over to the
Justice Department
The list of speakeasies was prepared
by the Police Department-and that s
not a secret. To tell the truth, the oe-
partment itself was rather proud OF II.

forcement squad could not have been

where a thirst could be quencheo IN
the pre-Volstead way.
But now. since the Department OF
Justice asked for the list, the police
decline to discuss it. And furthermore
no one could be found at the Police
Department who would admit that q
clerk had been delegated to get the
list back from the Crusaders for the
examination Of the Justice Department
Bean Asserts Ignorance.
Inspector T. r. Bean, in command OF
the liquor enforcement squad, said
one of his clerks had carried the list
to the Department of Justice. he didn't
know anything about it. Attaches IN
other ofices at police headquarters
who would handle such list, adopted
an attitude of silence when the list was
mentioned.
Nevertheless, there are well confirmed
reports that the Department Of Justice
has the list. and in the hands OF such
an agency it could serve but one OBJ
vious purpose-provid the basis for q
study Of the liquor situation In WASH

Midget Golf.

 We receive much from Amerca-our films, our songs many of our plays, and some of our idioms- that probably we might as well make up our minds to accept miniature golf with becoming humility. The new game apparently bears about much relation to real golf as ping pong does to lawn tennis; judge by the published descriptions, it is a cross between croquet and tiddywinks. wherein a player armed with butter tries to make his ball negotiate unheard-of obstacles and may find him self bunkered in length of drainpipe or diverted from his line by unSuSpected trap-door in the turf. In America the pastime is claimed to have two great advantages: it makes lot of money for the proprietors of the course" and it takes up very little whereas the real golf links is the most prodigal of all forms of exercise (except pos siby, Channel swimmng) and takes up very great deal The games invasion of England is said to be imminent; there is talk of miniature course in the neighborhood of Piccadilly CrcuS'-possibly we may yet live to the restored Eros presiding over this entertainment and even featured" as a form of bunker round which the diminished Duncans and Dieges must play their shots It does not seem at all the kind of exercise that would tempt the real golfer; he finds quite enough diff ficultes ordinary putting green without school more like part of a nightmare than serious round of golf. In the golfing it is clostered and fugitive virtue that is content to pit itself against ten-yard putt with a drain-pipe descent in the middle of it; your true golfer craves to hit them well pat them and when he finds his ball well underneath overhanging bunker he con- sders that he has little to learn from either art nature about obstructive devices and designs.

ILLUSTRATING A VALENTINE
 CHARACTERISTIC.

Many people recalling characteristic incidents in the life of Emery Valentine whose death cast a pail the community One occurs to the writer that illustrates the observation of this paper that he would not long cherish animosites, that he was always willing to forgive and cooperate with former enemies
 MT. Valentine and the late United States Mar shal j. M Tanner were brothers -in-aw and some times friends but occasionally bitter enemies. In many respects they were much alike. Both were intense partisans and it easy for them to become personal political business differences. Both inclined at times to carry differences of opinion far beyond the point of judicial fairness In 1912 Tanner and Valentine opposing candidates for the Territorial Senate. The fight character istically hot and lot of bitterness developed Tanner won the election and served in the first and second sessions of the Legislature. In 1916 a vacancy occurred in the office of United States Marshal that had to be filled temporarily by United States District Judge Jennings, and it was gen. orally understood that his emergency selection would in all probability receive permanent appointment from President Wilson. Judge Jennings sent for Tanner and told him that he about to give him an emergency appointment and recommend to the De- partment of Justice that the President nominate him for the position However Judge Jennings said there thing he wanted before making the appointment T wish you would get an en- QOrSenlen rom Emery VdleUllue Sdlu Juust JeH- nings He will give it to me" Tanner replied.
 When Tanner approached Valentine for the recommendation the first they had spoken for some time Valentine told his brother in-law that he was astonished at his nerve. You know" he said, T you nothing in politics You have always done all you able to do to thwart my political am- bitions and those of my friends Why do you ask for the endorsement2" Tanner then told Valentine that Judge Jennings said that he must get his endorsement a condition precedent to his ap- pointment as Marshal
 Valentine had also politically opposed Judge Jen- nings very bitterly Did Judge Jennings tell you that?" asked the political enemy of both. When being assured again that he had, Valentine wrote a letter in which he said that Tanner splendidy qualified for the place. He testified to Tanners fearless courage his honesty his experience and ability Valentine often said that the letter was absolutely true in every word. Tanner got the ap- pontment. The bitterness between the brothers-in- law had faded away before the interview had terminated It also intensified Valentines warm personal regard for Judge Jennings
