|DRUNKS TO GO
 ! IN MONKEY CAGE
Woburn, Mass, Mayor Devises Harsh Treat.
 nlent to Clean Town

Woburn, Mass, Feb. 25-(UP)- Woburn drunks will be placed in 8 tiger cage on wheels and drawn through the city behind a police prowl car until they are sober, if Mayor William E. Kane has his way and he is confident he will.
 And don't think I'm not In ear nest" said the mayor, who does not drink or smoke himself. i've talked this situation over with the pastor of one of our biggest churches and he agrees with me that we need this example of drunks in the tiger cage. I'm determined to clean up our city and stop this drunkenness among our people"
 Today Kane planned to telephone John Benson, Hudson, N. H., animal farm proprietor, to arrange to bor- row a gaudily- painted tiger cage.
 And incidentally, maybe could get him to give me some free passes for his show, so some of the poor kids in Woburn could 90 up there next summer" added the mayor.
 Benson told newsmen he would be glad to cooperate.
 Anything for a good cause" he said. T have just the cage he wants. I'll be glad to let him have it any time he wants it-and to keep 1t as long as necessary"
 Kane, a bachelor, said women drunks will be given the same treat ment as their men companions. :.
 "At night we'll have the cage illu- minated" he continued. There will be no booking by the police. The hoosegow will be closed up. If ne- cessary, I'll go out with the police myself to see that the job is done properly.
 They'll put the drunks in the cage in plain sight of everyone, and then they'll drive around the city for all to see the people in the cage. This will work, I'm sure" But the caging of drunks was only one of the proposals advanced by the fiery one.tirne marine who as. Sumed office Jan. 3.
 He warned that the city will re- fuse to license any more beano games unless the organizations hold Ing licenses agree to turn over to the city $7,000 a year to buy milk for the needy. Should they refuse. the city will conduct municipal game, he said.
 Kane silenced his chief critic, Contractor Michael H. Wynn, by turning the mayors office over to him. For two days Wynn tackled city problems and listened to con- plaints of welfare recipients.
 Last night he quit with the ex- planation:
 Tt's too much for one man."

Does the prime minister realize that at the present. ime foreign affairs are a burning issue in this country and that if this house is to be shut down by not having foreign secretary to answer questions in this house it raises a very big constitutional is- sue."
 William Wedgwood Benn, Labor party veteran, supported Attlee.
 He said that for 25 years it had been the customs, with two excep- tions, to have member of commons as foreign secretary. He appealed dramatically to the speaker of the house, E. A. Fitzroy, for assist ance"
 We know that the prime minis ter is going to appoint 8 foreign secretary of another house and that he is holding up the announcement until this house has adjourned to- day." he charged. May I ask if you as 8 non-party man can assist us in any way in order that con- trol of the most important part of public policy should remain in the hanGS of elected members?"

 The last reference is to the de- nland of the Good Government As sociation on the board of aldermen at a January meeting which was tabled by a unanimous vote after various Republican aldermen had inquired as to what the status ot the city-ordered audit was at this time.
 Allege Greater Taxes
 The plaintiffs allege that they and all other persons paying tax es . will be called upon to pay their respective shares of said amount to the City of Waterbury by means of greater taxes which will have to be levied are per- sonally aggrieved and affected 2 If said sum is not repaid by the de- fendant. The complaint cites that the City of Waterbury has taken no action to collect this money for the alleged overdraftS from the for. mer controller and adds that "the plaintiffs have good reason to be- lieve that no action will be taken by the City of Waterbury to collect said sum therefore, any de- mand by the plaintiffs on the city that it proceed so to do would be futile, unavailing, useless"
 The complaint, as was the notice of attachment, is drawn by the plaintiffs lawyer, George H. Cohen of Hartford, former assistant United States attorney under Major John Buckley, old guard Republican lead CT, and associate of John A. Dana her of the Meriden Republican Danahers, brother of the incumbent mayor. MT. Cohen was associated with States Attorney Hugh M. AL corn, ST., when the latter went to Washington to obtain communication of Gerald Chapman's Atlanta sem tence from the late President Cool idge so that Connecticut could pro- ceed with the trial for murder of a New Britain policeman which result ed in the hanging of Chapman. Enumerate Interests
 The companies k which MT. Leary is cited as having interest and transfer of whose stock Is restrained by injunction are the Diamond Ginger Ale, Inc, Waterbury Brew ing Co., Inc, Gray Telephone Pay Station Co., of Hartford, the Buck ingham Oil company, the Waterbury Trust company and the Lux Clock Mfg. Co.
 It is complained, too, that the for mer controller within 10 days" has transferred a substantial portion oi his holdings, reference being the sale of a block of shares in the Waterbury Trust company, to Fran cis Peterson of Corpus Christi Texas, an official of the Bucking- ham Oil company, by report. The latter also is restrained by the in junction from further transfer oi the stock pending hearing on the complaint.

 Police checked the license num- Der of the car and woke up the owner.

 Enroute here by automobile, the pair were intercepted by police radio prowl cars in New York and told of their mothers relapse. Under po- lice escort, they raced across Man. hattan to the Newark airport, but found accommodations on the plane allowed only single passenger.
 Edward took the seat and his brother waited for the next plane They arrived at the hospital five hours before their mother died.

 With the return of MT. Alcorn to the scene of the investigation, it was deemed possible that an an- nouncement relative to the impanel- ling of a jury might be made short ly. Possibility of the entrance of a grand jury into the investigation has been the subject for much spec ulation during the past few weeks.
 MT. Alcorn looked the picture of health today, and Is apparently fit to conduct a very strenuous investi- gation into the most minute details of the local situation. During his three weeks vacation-cruise he was accompanied by Mrs. Alcorn and Chief Justice William M. Maltbie of the supreme court of errors.

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel,

Raleigh, July 14.-Just as one swat
low doesn't make 4 man drunk, North
Cardinals tax collections for the first
nine days of the current fiscal year
cannot be accepted as an infallible
index of what is in store during the
balance Of The :,criod.
If it could be, Governor Clyde r.
Eoey wouldn't leave on his vacation
and Commissioner of Revenue A. ].
Maxwell wouldn't doubtless be losing
several hours Sleep every night.
This because the collections thro-
ugh July 9 are far far under those
for the corresponding period of 1887,
with practically every item on the
tax lists showing marked and, in
many cases, drastic falling off.
For example, sale tax collections
through July, 9, this year, brought
in $87 ,059.12 as compared with $780,
O578O for the first nine days of July,
1874 decline of about 20 per cent.
Total revenue division collections
this year amounted to $443,459.16 a
gainst $517 ,O3151 last, drop of $751;
572.35, or nearly Is per cent.
In the Motor Vehicle Division the
declines were equally marked Gaco-
line taxes for the first nine days of
this July brought in $10,103.72 against
SIS, 1914, off@almost one-third; while
total from all items in the division
yielded SIS, 32698 as compared with
SOC, 1880 in the corresponding period
of 1881 decrease of more than 20
per cent.
These declines, if continued in the
same ratio through the entire year
would cut last years almost $780,
100000 in revenue to something like
100000.
Fortunately, as said at the start,
! next January.
