III S. TELLS liberia
/ To- CLEAN HOUSE
Slave : Trading Accusation
Basis for Note Dispatched
by State Department.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The Negro Republic of Liberia. has
been told by the United states ito
clean house If it wants to keep the
worlds respect.
Slave traflc in which high officials
Of the government were involved had
been charged by an investigating COM
mission. The accusation was made the
oasis Tor note dispatched by the
state department through the Liberian
consul general at Baltimore, urging
tnat the trade In human beings be sup
pressed promptly and that those re-
sponsible be punished.
Inc American action only now has
come to light, but 1t was taken on Mo-
vemoer IL, two weeks before the resig-
nations OF President King and Vice
President Yancy were announced at
the Lioerian capital. Monrovia. The
Two had been directly involved in the
tramc ny the report Of the commits
sion. The latter was composed of
one investigator representing the League
OF Nations, another from the United
states and a third representing Lii
IBERIA itself. -.
The American memorandum was a
lengthy paper reviewing in detail the
charges against the African country 1t
tSaSheo doLIofld oeIore the reSlgna-
tions of the executives were announced.
AT that time the State Department
made known 1t had instructed its diplo-
matte representatives to proceed with
extreme caution as 1t viewed with un-
certainty the status Of that govern
ment and the legal succession to the
presidency.
The memorandum termed "inade-
quate" the steps taken by the gov
eminent up to that time toward COR
recting conditions, and pointed out that
no proceedings had been started against
those responsible.

SAYS Government
RUNS. SPEAKEASY
LinthiCum !. Charges That
Liquor Is Sold to Trap
Policemen.
BY the Associated Press.

0y tne ASSoClAted Press.
A dingy room at 1918 East Twenty
second street, indianapolis, engaged
the attention Of Congress yesterday as
Representative Linthicum of Maryland
charged the place was Government
owned speakeasy," used to trap police
men.
The leader of the House wet bloc
made his accusation on the floor dur
ing debate on q deficiency bill which
carries more than half q million for
increasing the Prohibition Bureaus
stan. He read Q letter from Director
Woodcock stating the Government paid
rent for the place, but that no LIQUOR
was dispensed It was opened, said the
letter, following many complaints of
collision between policemen and speak
easy operators.
Appropriation Plan Opposed.
Another letter from Russell B. Har-
riSon Of Indianapolis, son of President
Benjamin Harrison, termed the place q
pool room Speakeasy," and charged
the Government with buying and SELL
ing booze in order to trap policemen. -
The Linthicum attack was the OPEN
ing effort OF wet move to defeat the
PronlDlClon Bureau deficiency apprO-
priation. It was sufficient to cause House
leaders to change their plans for i'm
mediate passage Of the bill. The Mary
land Democrat told the House II the
fund were approved 1t would 60 to
establishment Of these speakeasies for
the purpose Of entrapping citizens and
police officers throughout this country"
WOOdcock Letter Read.
The ,Woodcook letter read by Linthi-
cum said in part:
THE records do show the allowance
Of small sum Of money for the rental
Of this particular room, which payment,
am advised, is entirely lawful. A place
for making such contacts Is apparently
necessary in the development Of these
cases Of conspiracy between public ON
cialS and those who violate the law.
You may rest assured, however, that
they will never be. used as q place In
which the law itself Is violated"
Operation of the place yielded q Fed
eral case, which ended In the recent
conviction of six Indianapolis police
men. Linthicum previously had charged
the policemen were positively persuaded
and enticed into the crime" and were
convicted on evidence of Federal oper-
ativeS who were, in fact, their accom-
plices." To this Woodcock replied that
neither his information nor the Justice
Department files disclosed that any evil
dence was secured against these ofhcerS
by unlawful methods"

VOLSTEAD ACTS
WINE LOOPHOLE
CAUSES FURORE
Misunderstanding Provision
Not Defined; Grape
Growers Get Loan.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES,
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Inter-
probation Of the Volstead acts ref
erences to home wine making to-
day became the center Of the re-
newed and bitter fight both pro-
hibitionists and anti-prohibitionists
are making against the so-called
grape concentrates" which are fur
nishing real wine in American
homes.
AS Federal Prohibition Director
Amos w. Woodcock returned to his
Office today to face the revived
clamor, it was revealed that the
Volstead act legalizes the by-pro-
duct for making wine in the home
The Volstead act, it is claimed,
sets up in Section % home OPP
ton" for manufacture Of wine for
consumption in the home. This sec
ton permits manufacture of mon
Intoxicating" fruit juices In the
home and other provisions prohibit
search of homes by federal agents
without evidence of a sale.
L0Op-hole Intentional
Section 20 is the only section
which makes no melton of the one
half Of l per cent alcohol limita-
tions. 1t merely says "non-intoxi-
eating" and does not specify what
Intoxicating might mean. It's only
restriction is that wine in the home
shall not be sold.
Since the most recent discussion
Of grape concentrate came up the
United Press was informed that a
representative of the grape industry
was present at the original drafting
of the Volstead act and that it spe-
officially excepted home wine manu-
facture.
But mention of wine was elimi-
mated, it was explained, on request
of senators who said it would be
necessary to substitute a synony-
nous phrase. The position of the
grape concentrate industries as out
lined here is that the Volstead act
deliberately permitted 'home OPP
ton.
Industry Gets Loan
The issue was re-emphasized to-
day by additional government loans
of $4,000000 to the grape industry
by the farm board. 1t failed, how
ever, to act on requests for loans
to Fruit Industries, Ltd, which
manufactures the grape concentrate
on a large scale and which previ-
ously has received loans. 1t is this
federal support which has drawn
the fire of vets and drys.
Donald Conn, managing director
of Fruit Industries, explained that
his organization had not yet de-
cided upon the amount of money it
needs and that failure Of the farm
board to act does not mean there
is any change of attitude.
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
counsel for Fruit Industries, is ex-
pected to defend the legality of the
grape concentrate with the same
skill and vigor with which she for
merly pursued bootleggers as assist
ant attorney general.
The grape industry position is
that the federal farm board, the
justice department and the prohibit
ton bureau are we'll aware of the
grape concentrate manufacture and
its use and that the farm board APP
proved the operations Of Fruit In
dustries in May, 1890.
