Ellison had questioned the en-
gagement Of Harry Maynard and
Frank Shore, both Of whom were
convicted under the prohibition
law, in the present-day liquor
business. Regarding Shore, Mr..
Offutt declared he had inquired
Of q local oyster house in which
Shore was reputed to have had
an interest and employment, but
found he had neither.
Maynard, the Offutt 1etter
stated, is generally understood
to be one of the best chefs in
washington" and is employed as
such by Sadie johnson, licensee
for a sea food place bearing
Maynard's name in the 14OO
block l st. N. w. The letter
pointed out Maynard's convic-
ton under the prohibition law
was longer than five years from
the date Of the enactment Of the
liquor law and he qualified for
employment.
In his letters Chairman Offutt
repeatedly invited DR.. Ellison or
any other persons interested to
aid the board in passing upon the
qualifications Of applicants for
licenses. He declared that none
of the board knew either by repu-
tation or through patronage any
one who sold illicit liquor during
prohibition and added the board
regretted no one had assisted the
board by furnishing information
Rt hearings on qualifications.
He pointed out the applications
are published and advertised both
in newspapers and by signs over
the doors Of establishments to be
licensed.
Similar letters regarding the
Killeen case were written by Mr..
Offutt to Wilbur LARoe, jr., chair
man Of the District parole board.

EKiu00n Beer License
Issue Explained

Chairman George w. Offutt, Of
the District Alcohol Beverage
Control Board, today made public
a file Of correspondence he has
had with DR.. Everett M. Ellison,
president of the United Dry
Forces Of tlse District, in which 1t
was explained how Edward v.
Eddie" KilIeen, slain gambler. OBJ
tanned q wholesale beer license.
This action was taken by the
ABC head in response to an attack
made upon him last night by DR..
Ellison at a dry meeting. In Addi-
ton to explaining the Killeen case,
the correspondence revealed that
DR.. Ellison and members Of his or
ganiZation repeatedly had been in
vited by the liquor board to COM
plain against any questionable IL
censee or applicant for a license
Regarding the Killeen case.
Chairman Offutt wrote DR.. Eli
son that prior to enactment Of
the liquor law. Killeen obtained
a license to wholesale 81 beer
and had built up a $4,000 or
ganization. When the liquor
board was created, Killeen made
application for q wholesale
license and a hearing was con-
Quoted on his fitness.
Record Found Clear
The letter stated:
The board, having heard some
thing Of the proclivities Of Mr.,
KilIeen, made inquiry at the
District Attorneys office. the Cor
poration CounSeIs office and OF
the Police Department to ascertain
if anyone was in a position to tell
them Of anything which would
in any wise affect the moral
character Of Killeen. In response
to our questions the only thing
we could obtain directly was the
police record of Killeen. which
indicated that since 1908 no
conviction of any kind was had
of him in this jurisdiction"
The letter continued that Lieut..
George M. Little, head of the
police vice squad, was called in
and testified "he had heard Kill
leen was a big shot gambler. "
but he had no facts to back up
this assertion and admitted Kill
leen had conducted his 80 beer
business in good shape.
Killeen lost his license through
q transfer to the Northampton
Brewery, the letter stated, after
it was discovered Killeen had
given the brewery a mortgage on
all assets of his business. The
letter added the brewery was
made to pay. a $1,000 license fee.
Prior to the transfer Of he
license. John F. Costello. Demo
cratic national committeeman for

1 MEN ESCAPE
BOWIE BLAZE

BOWIE, Md, Dec. 7.-Explo-
sion of a gasoline cook stove
caused a fire that destroyed one
building, threatened others and
endangered the lives of four men
and eight race horses at the Bowie
race track shortly before 8 o'clock
today.
A frame building used as the
track cook house was razed by
the flames. The men. employees
Of the track, were sleeping in the
building. They escaped unhurt
but a bull dog pet of one Of the
men was burned to death.
Speedy arrival of the Bowie vol

the flames before they spread to

eight thoroughbreds were quar-
tered.

FARLEY STARTS

GOSS|PS
BY EARL GOODWIN


Chairman James A. Farley, Of
the Democratic national commit
tee, calling on the Young Demo
Gratis to make Jackson Day on
January 8 great success" starts
political gosSipers in washington
asking this question:
Does Roosevelt know what
he's up against in the way Of po-
litical opposition"
1t may interest the weather.
wise to know that one Of tn e
Presidents intimate friends. q
man who has considerable con-
fab with him. answers the ques-
tiOn this way:
''Mr. Roosevelt knows he has
opposition: but he Is sure it Is no
greater than he had in 1882. ex-
cept that so-called Big Business
is now feeling its oats after the
resuscitation given 1t by Roose-
velt."
Reason for Optimism
II the President feels that way.
then there Is some reason also
for the amazing optimism Of
Chairman Farley. who will not
concede more than an inch or
two Of territory-and that only
in such tough spots as Ohio.
James Farley Is the chairman
but there is evidence that the Man
Behind the Gun Is Franklin D.
Roosevelt; and, his friends say.
why not? This election campaign
to come Is going to be almost a
personal matter-the Republicans
are out after that man RooSe-
velt." and the Democrats will
match this attack with q liberal
presentation Of the Roosevelt per
sonality which, in turn, the Re
publicans will try to depopularize.
Continued attacks on the Ad-
ministratiOn by groups such as
the National Association Of Manu-
facturers have ShelLshocked more
than one good Administration
Democrat who is convinced that
the coming campaign is going to
be he toughest battle Of this or
any other century.
Farley Far Ahead
These are the follows who won
der whether or not Chairman Far
ley is adopting the right course
In being so optimistic; and. really.
no one who hasn't talked person
ally to James A. Farley can real
ize what political optimism is.
Jim" Farley right now is as far
ahead of other optimistS as the
new China Clipper is ahead Of
the old Covered Wagon. Whether
or not this is right or wrong from
a political standpoint. there are
those in his party who think this
optimism will induce Democrats
not to fight as hard as they
should.
There is a story abroad that
Mr.. Farley may change his tao
ticS-juSt to please these shell
shocked boys: but. be hat as 1T
may, there seems to be no pesSi-
mism either in the Farley or the
Roosevelt completes these days.
Fight Not Started Yet
But as bad as the bombardment
against the Administration has
been, you amt seen nothing
yet" This winter is going to be
cluttered up with dinners, meet
ings. conventions, ETC., Of organ
izations that want to drive the
Administration out Of Washing
ton.
1t is understood that q large
number of anti-RooSevelt Demo
Gratis will be dragged in to attack
the President. The impression
will be made, if possible, that the
old war horses of the party are
against Roosevelt.
1t must be remembered, though.
that the Administration has not
vet begun to fight Plans Of the
opposition are being exposed from
day to day; but the Big Chief at
the White House is silent - and
until he gives the word. the cam
paign battle will not start.

her in bewilderment as though
he expected her the next min
ute to produce rabbit out OF
thin air. Won Guerdon's eyes,
steely, critical, suspicious, never
left her face.
IF you can arrange to raise
any such sum-" said Madame
Hubert, "I'll see that you get a
nice bonus and, of course, you
will continue on with us. AS I
said before, the whole PROPOSE
ton is pure business with me.
Instead of being a liability you
can become an asset. Frankly,
we would show you our graft
tude most substantially"
This reversal of attitude
seemed to cause the Madame no
embarrassment at all. It was,
indeed, cold expediency - me-
chanical, emotionless, decisive.
II should think sol" barked
O'Hara. "She's saving the
whole thing from collapse. The
money will give us a breathing
space and she has probably got
other smart ideas, too. If the
truth must be known, we've let
ourselves get old-fashioned and
the parade is passing U.S."
His words we're like a slap in
the face to the Madame.
CHAPTER XXI
''Don't forget, O'Hara, it was
my ideas that built the whole
thing" she said throatily. 1T
isn't likely that this young wo-
man has better ones"
There was a sarcasm in the
old woman's retort that needed
answering. Juliet, by a reck-
less statement had turned the
tide and was swept forward
dizzily.
my ideas would revolution.
ize your whole business!" she
plunged on, stimulated to a high
pitch of invention. "I've already
told McSpadden about my plan
to market cosmetics in small
packets through the chain
stores"
"A splendid plan, too," said
McSpadden Loyalty.
1T means big sales with
small profits that will pile up
enormously and O'Hara agrees
with me that these heavy
scents in the cosmetics are 10
years behind the times. But
that's only starter. You've
totally neglected the market for
perfumes under an established
trade name. This is a vending
machine age-why can't we put
out perfumes in small vials,
enough for one application, in
five-cent slot machines all over
the country? The country is
overrun with broken-down Rus
sian nobility"
Dozens of 'em," agreed
O'Hara.
"We can pick up one Of these
titled persons, name a line of
cosmetics after him or her, and
stamp a genuine coat-of-armS on
the bottles and packages. In.
telligently done there is a for
tune in that one idea alone.
Our bottles and packages look
too much like old-faShioned
patent medicines. We ought
to get the best bottle designer
in the world to give us things
that are works of art in them
Sleves-something that will ap-
peal to the eye and the imagi-
nation, and make the custom
erS believe they are getting ex-
quiSite preparations direct from
Paradise. Oh, there are hun
dredS Of marvellous ideas in ex-
istence and we can spring ahead
and lead the race, if we stop
Stewing around in our own stu
pidity!"
Juliet's voice had mounted
with excitement, her eyes had
flashed and sparkled, until the
three men watching her and
listening were convinced she
was the claverest, most faSci-
mating woman on earth.
