Zealotry Fills Prisons
(Chicogo TribuueI

: = ffb bDD j : tPpN'
Federal Government reports
for the last statistical year show
that nearly sixty per cent Of the
convictions in the Federal courts
in the Chicago district dealt with
offenders against the Nolstead
act. The thing that overtaxes
the Federal Judiciary and
crowds the prisons is man 5 de-
sire for alcoholic beverages.
Purveying to this desire was
not criminal ofense twelve
years ago in this country, and
today this is the only great coun-
try in white civilization in which
produce a glass Of wine, a glass
Of beer or drink Of whisky fill
the penitentiaries only in the
United States. Elsewhere the
use Of such beverages is norm
Of life. Here it has been made
legally one of the heinous Of
fenses against the state. The
real laws are virtually the same
everywhere, but prohibition
causes the United States to fill
it's prisons with people who
would be free in any other coun-
try except Finland.
These are political prisoners.
The law which seiZes them is
similar to the Sectarlan laws
which made various dissenting
religious services criminal. When
Government falls into the hands
of moral or religious Zealotry
nonconformity and dissent will
be made criminal and victims
will be sought as sacrifices to
upon by the dominant sect for
the arbitrary standards insisted
its own qualification. The
United States is continuing the
record of such prosecutions.

ENTIRE FAMILY
 FOUND DEAD IN
 MATTAPAN HOME

Boston. Nov. 23.-UP).-The bodies of five persons-an entire family-were discovered to-day in their Maatapan home where they had been killed by carbon monox- ide gas poisoning three or four days ago.
 The dead: William Goodale, 33, teacher at Boston Latin school: his wife; Anna, 4; Mary, 2; William. Jr, months. A water heater In the bathroom which had consumed the oxygen in the small cottage house and caused the fatalities, was still burning when police smashed their way in this morning and found the victims.
 Mrs Winthrop Harrington, who lives across the way from the Good ale home at 25 Idaho street, Mat japan, became worried to-day when she recalled that she had seen no signs of life there since last Thursday. Police who went to the Goodale residence at her request found all doors locked. One was broken down. Officers found the bodies of MT. and Mrs. Goodale in the bathroom. The bodies of the older children were in bed in a rear chamber upstairs. Junior, the baby, lay dead in his carriage in the parlor.
 Authorities believed the tragedy occurred either Thursday night or Friday morning. Goodale, Junior headmaster at Boston Latin school, was a Boston college graduate, class of PA. Medical Examiner Timothy F. Leary was to perform autopsies later to-day.
