HAzEN WILL WAR
ON BO0TLEGGERS;
WILL CALL FARLEY
Aroused by Receipt of
Names and Addresses From
Confidential Source.
HIGH POLICE OFFICIALS,
JUDGES TO BE CALLED
Commissioner Will Urge Stricter
Inspection to Keep Policemen
on Beats.

Aroused by the receipt from a
confidential source of a list of a
dozen bootleg liquor establishments,
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen an
nounced today he will call pep
meeting of the high officers of the
Police Department and Police Court
judges within a week or 10 days.
IF persons outside the District
government can find out about boot
leggers. why don't the police know
about them. too?" he inquired irately
Il am going to ask the precinct cap
tains how such places can operate
right under their noses without their
knowledge"
Names and Addresses.
Hazen said the list contained not
only the names and addresses of boot
leggers, but the approximate size of
their businesses. He refused to say
who furnished it, but hinted it may
have come from an internal rev.
enue official. The list was turned
over to Lieut.. George M. Little, COM
mander of the headquarters vice
squad.
The police judges will be asked to
attend the proposed conference in
order to have available their knoWl-
edge and advice as to proper presen-
tation of cases in court, the CommiS-
sioner declared.
This conference is not going to be
for the purpose of any further re-
organization or shake-up," Hazen
said, "but to try to smooth out diff
flculties and impress on the police
officers the necessity of greater effort.
They ought to be able to catch more
of these fellows who break our laws"
Seeks Stricter Inspection.
Hazen made it plain he does not
place all the blame for lax law en-
forcement on the higher police Of
ficials, however, but emphasized the
need for stricter inspection system
to keep the man on the beat" on
his toes.
Policemen ought never be seen
in stores and soft drink places, loafing
and playing slot machines" he de-
clared. They are on duty only
eight hours a day and they ought
really to work those eight hours.
Il am going to make it plain at
the conference that it is up to the
officers-sergeants, lieutenants and
captains-to keep their men on the
Job.
I've tried to be nice to all police
men, but it doesn't seem to work. I
guess you've got to be firm; kid gloves
won't do"
Lettering Place for Drunks.
He told of licensed on-sale liquor
establishment ION Georgia avenue"
where drunks loiter every night, max
ing it disagreeable or even unsafe for
women to pass.
That's the kind of thing which
shouldn't exist" he declared. If
the policeman on the beat were doing
his job properly he would know of
the situation and be on hand to pre-
vent it."
Hazen said he recently conferred
with Chairman George w. Offutt of
the Alcohol Beverage Control Board
and recommended there be no in
crease in the present number of liquor
licenses. He indicated he thinks
there are now sufficient liquor stores
and that additional places would
only tend to encourage disorderliness
and also would be harmful to the
business of existing establishments.

The American Legion has donated chairs, Wo- mems Club members and Wrangell Institute have donated sewing ma chimes and the Institute is also sending a cutting table. The sew ing room was made available through the courtesy of Mayor Kirtland and L. B. Chisholm, city clerk. A list of children for whom sewing is to be done will be fur nished by James Nolan, Red Cross Relief chairman.
 More machines are needed and simple patterns for children's gar ments, sizes 1 to 14 years. Anyone able to loan either a machine or patterns is asked to notify one of the members of the welfare com mittee, Miss Marjory Major, Mrs. Z. M. Bradford or Mrs. o. R.

Sumption To Take New Boat South Saturday

George Sumption plans to leave tomorrow for Seattle aboard his new boat, Wesley, which was built for him in Wrangell by Walter Rudolph.
 The crew for the Seattle trip will be composed of L. D. Moore, captain, Orie Harris, engineer, Bud Rogers, mate, Mrs Harris, cook. Gus Johnson, so Sumption says, signed on as deck hand, and Sumption, himself, as Johnson's assistant.
 The Wesley made trial trip to Petersburg last week and MT. Sumption was highly please with its performance. The new boat is 46 feet long with 12foot beam. It is powered with 45 h,p. Atlas Imperial diesel engine and is the first Wrangell built diesel boat. A number of other Wrangell build boats now have diesel but were first powered with gas engines.
 MT, Sumption built the Wesley to use for his shrimp fishing for the Reliance Shrimp company, the cannery of which is owned by himself and Neil Grant. The new boat replaces the Edrie and is about double the capacity of the | Edrie.
 Sumption chose a diesel on ac count of the difference in cost operation. During his last six weeks of shrimping before the sea son closed, the Edrie's gasoline bill was $17 a week. The Wesley, he states, will operate the same 1 time and mileage on SPA a month. Mrs Sumption who went south two weeks ago will return home on the new boat.

The trip was made in four days. The running time was 85 hours, but stormy weather caused them to anchor twice for a few hours.

It's length overall is 57 feet, but its registered length between perpendiculars is 1895 feet to bring it under the 50 feet seine regulations. The beam is fif- teen-siX.

 The 3-cylinder, IUU n.p. Superb or diesel engine which powers the boat. was installed by E. Reid, who has spent the winter in Seat tie. An 800-watt full Delco pro- vides electric lights. The oil tanks have a capacity of HOO gallons, giving a cruising radius of 1900 miles. Provision is made for 250 gallons of fresh water. There are six comfortable berths and unusually generous locker space, The galley, of good size with a pump installed at the sink, full built in features, Is most convenient and comfortable.
 A radio telephone was installed on the boat to keep the Gunder- sons in constant contact with the Nakat Packing company cannery, to which their fish are delivered. Both Fred and George Gunderson took examinations at Seattle and received licenses as 3rd class operators.
 The boat will be in port here until the end of the month, when the owners will leave to spend the summer at Johnson's Cove,
