POLICE CLEARED
IN REPORT ON
BOOTLEGG|NG
Hazen Told Most of IL Cases
Reported Already Known
And Being Prosecuted

Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
revealed today that the conf
Dental" police report on "a
dozen" bootlegging establishments
said to be operating in the District
absolved the police force of blame.
Proprietors of the establish
ments, he said, are under indict-
ment now fer liquor law viola
tons.
Names Were Given
Commissioner Hazen several
days ago received information that
large quantity of bootleg liquor
was being sold in the District.
The information gave the names
and addresses of IL bootlegging
establishments and specifically
stated the amount Of liquor that
each one of the places had on
hand.
The District head turned the
information over to Police Lieut..
George Little, of the vice squad,
who reported that all of the cases
were known to police and that a
majority of the offenders we're
under indictment for liquor law
violations.
Report Kept Secret
Commissioner Hazen refused to
make the report public on the
ground that it would jeopardize
prosecution of the illicit liquor
dealers. He said:
MANY Of these cases are be-
ing worked out by the depart
ment right now, and 1 feel that
nuhlicity will hurt the cases.

F UNDS SOUGHT.
IN MEMBER
CAMPAIGN
Protective Association Out
To Unite Communities for
Old Anti-Liquor Laws

MT. RAINIER, Md, July II.
Opposition to the sale of alcoholic
beverages here has crystallized in
a drive for funds and members by
the Citizens Protective Association
of Mt. Rainier, a newly formed
group, whose objective it is to
make Mt. Rainier dry.
For some time there has been
considerable opposition in several
towns in Prince Georges and other
Maryland counties to the issuance
of liquor licenses.
Many of the towns were dry be-
fore prohibition, and the town
charters, as well as the deeds to
property, specifically prohibit the
sale of alcoholic beverages.
Repeal View Disputed
When the Eighteenth Amend
ment was repealed, many persons
assumed that the repeal auto
maticaly nullified the liquor
clauses in the town charters.
Most of the citizens, however,
still believe the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment did not
affect the town charters. Since
the town charters and property
deeds in several of the towns
prohibit the sale of liquor in the
community, these citizens believe
that their towns should remain
dry.
In Mt. Rainier, which is taking
the dry lead in Prince Georges
county, the citizens have organ
lied the Citizens Protective AS
ISOLATION.
Legal Steps Taken
Bird H. Dolby, attorney for the
association, has taken definite
legal action, in test case, to close
up the existing establishments
selling beer and wine, and to pre-
vent the issuance of new licenses.
Mt. Rainier does not contain
package stores selling hard liquors.
The oeSt case, expected to come
before the court in August, has
aroused interest throughout the
county. It is expected to bring
decision as to whether the repeal
of national prohibition restores
to the communities the power to
deal with this problem under the
authority of the town charters.

OPENS
NEW ROOMS IN
ALEXANDRIA
Dedication of Addition Marks
Growth of Institution
From Modest Start

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July II.
Dedication of the new addition to
the Alexandria Hospital at 3 p. m.
today will mark progress Of the
institution from it's beginning in
a private dwelling in 1872 to the
present modern plant with more
than 100 beds.
Miss Julia Johns conceived the
plan for a hospital here and on
December %, 1872, a charter was
granted by the Virginia General
Assembly to the Alexandria In
Urinary, which later was renamed
the Alexandria Hospital.
Miss Johns opened the infirm-
airy first at the home Of DR.. Fran
els Murphy. Later it was moved
to King Street and then to build
ing on Upper Duke Street.
In 1917 the hospital moved into
the present structure and it was
then that Edward Dangerfield do
mated his brick home as a nurses
home for the institution.
P. Mcknight Baldwin is listed
as the largest single contributor
to the hospital. A legacy of ap-
proximately $4,000 was estab-
lished by Mr.. Baldwin to benefit
the hospital without racial or
religious" favoritism. The new
addition, which cost approx
mately $4,000, was made possible
through the donations of $4,000
each by the late Robert S. Jones
and Mrs. Annie l.. Smith, supple
mented by a loan of $4,000.

In defense of collectors, Anatole
France, great French novelist, wrote:
People laugh at collectors. who per-
haps do lay themselves open to rail-
lery, but that Is also the case with
all of us when in love with anything
at all. We ought rather to envy COL
lectors, for they brighten their days
with q long and peaceable Joy. Per-
hapS what they do a little resembles
the task of children who spade up
heaps of sand at the edge of the sea,
labOring in vain, for all they have built
will soon be overthroWn. and that. no
doubt, is true of collections of books
and pictures also. But we need not
blame collectors for it; the fault lies
in the viciSSitude Of existence and the
brevity of life. The sea carries off the
heaps of sand and the auctioneers dis
perSe the collections, and yet there are
no better pleasures than the building
of heaps of sand at 10 years Of age,
and of collections at so. Nothing OF
all we erect will remain, in the end,
and a love for collecting is no more
vain and useless than other passions
are"

There seems to be confusion as to
the meaning Of the word fused" as
applied to stamps. But the post Office
Is in position to decide. The only
stamps 1t will accept for postal duty
to carry letters or parcels from one
point to another-are those which
have not been Cancelled or defaced.
1t would appear to follow that a
used" stamp is label which has
performed the service for which 1t was
intended. namely. that of indicating
the payment Of charges for transpor-
tation by the postal system. All stamps
not so classified are. from that point
Of view, mere pictures" But it must
be conceded that. in theory at least,
they have been paid for and are valid
for postal employment. The payment,
not necessarily the cancellation. is the
important factor as the post Office re-
CARDS it. Possibly philatelic law
yer might provide an acceptable solu-
ton for the problem. Meanwhile, some
collectors will specialize in used"
stamps. some in unused" and the
rest Of the philatelic fraternity in
both kinds.

BONDAGED WOMEN
REVEL IN DIVORCE.
Mohammedan Wives al
Sarajevo Become AddICts
Under Law.

SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia CP.-Post-
war laws; freeing the Mohammedan
women of this region from bondage in
which they we're held for centuries,
have also given them the right to de-
mand a divorce. right previously un-
known to them.
The new Mohammedan matrimonial
Laws are very liberal and to some ex-
tent favor women, who have taken
due cognizance Of this fact. A simple
statement before q Mohammedan mag
istrate is all that is necessary to con-
clude marriage. Another such state
ment Suff1ces for divorce.
Numerous are the reasons for which
a divorce can be obtained, foremost
being mental cruelty and verbal in
suit. II am tired of you" remark
dropped by the husband in the heat
of a quarrel, is sufficient, if brought
to the attention of the magistrate, to
get the wife a divorce and alimony
from the husband.
This accommodating divorce law. 1t
is reported, has proved a great attrac-
ton to the shrewder girls OF Sarajevo,
with a Mohammedan population OF
about 10000 These girls marry elder
ly, well-to-do men and subsequently
demand a divorce on the ground of
verbal insult.
Statistics indicate that approx
mately 1000 such divorces were grant
ed to Mohammedan women during
1884, and that some Of the women
involved hold records OF 10 and IL
marriages and divorces, some with ali
mony.
