(Paris Times Correspondence) New York, January 2. When Mr. William C. Durant, the millionaire automobile manufacturer, offered a prize of $25,000 for the "best and most practicable plan to make the Eighteenth Amendment effective," he did not imagine the deluge of ink that would be released by the eager competitors, nor could he imagine the extraordinary fund of ingenuity that he had tapped. Such
the extraordinary fund of ingenuity that he had tapped. Such flights of fancy as the competition evoked left no doubt of the fecundity of American imagination. But, strange to say, the best solution offered was of little use, in the opinion of the present Prohibition Commissioner, Dr. Doran. Mr. Durant announced his offer on August 27 last. Soon afterwards he augmented the offer by announcing a prize of $5,000 to the high-school student who would submit the best plan. Of the $5,000, the student was to receive $1,000 and the remainder would go to his school. The committee which judged
remainder would go to his school. The committee which judged the entries was strictly non-partisan; it consisted of such prominent Americans as Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House, Chicago, Dr. William H. Allen, of the Institute for Public Service; Senator Borah, Mr. Bruce Bartlett, the Rev. S Parkes Cadman, Mr. William G. McAdoo, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Mr. George Gordon Battle and several others representative of every shade of intelligent opinion in the United States. Twenty-five Thousand dollars is a lot of money and 23,230 persons made an effort to win it. These eager contestants submitted 30,000 suggestions and 19,000
win it. These eager contestants submitted 30,000 suggestions and 19,000 formal plans, accompanied by charts and blueprints. They represented every State in the Union and practically every walk of life. Professional men, school-teachers, farmers, widows, soldiers, sailors, policemen, cowboys, cloak-and-suiters, hot-dog vendors, even bootleggers entered the scramble for the automobile magnate’s twenty-five thousand "grand." The entries ranged from long documents expounding in detail a pet theory to the shortest of all, a telegram from a wag in New York City who suggested two words: "A Repealer." The entries swamped Mr. Durant’s office. Fifty clerks were necessary to help Mr. W.
Durant’s office. Fifty clerks were necessary to help Mr. W. O. Herrmann, his assistant, to sort, classify and arrange the entries for the consideration of the jury. It was several months before the jury could decide the winners, whose names were announced on Christmas Day. They were Major Chester P. Mills, former Federal Prohibition Administrator for the New York District, who won the major award, and Malcolm D. Almack, a fifteen-year-old student at Palo Alto High School, in California, the hometown of Mr. Herbert Hoover. The mass of the contestants advised some sort of modification of the present law. There
advised some sort of modification of the present law. There were 6,996 suggestions urging more effective use of the Federal organization for enforcement, including 3,388 persons who wanted to depend upon existing forces and 3,608 who proposed creating new ones. Only 774 wanted to modify the Eighteenth Amendment, but 5,340 urged a modification of the Volstead Act, including 1,536 who favored Government sale of intoxicants and 400 who wanted light wines and beer. Better State and local cooperation was urged by 2,569; better cooperation with foreign countries was recommended by 1,392, including 613 who wanted a closer watch of the
1,392, including 613 who wanted a closer watch of the United States boundaries and 416 who urged liquor treaties with other nations. Many replies came from abroad, from missionaries in remote parts of the earth. One contestant is a general in the Brazilian Army, another an official of the Chinese Government. All these were disqualified, as it was felt that only those who had connection with the Volstead Act at first hand should be entitled to suggest a method of modifying it. Some 1,171 ardent "drys" urged the use of the Army and Navy to enforce Prohibition; 4,222 were for
the Army and Navy to enforce Prohibition; 4,222 were for Prohibition enforced by a "dictator." There were 15,520 who suggested penalties for violation, ranging from the administration of castor oil to the death penalty, recommended by 187. Hanging was urged by many Southern women; whippings and other stern measures also were advised. Seventy-one demanded that all aliens found breaking the law should be deported; 161 advised Congress to "Christianize the nation"; others, getting further away from practical methods, advised the abolition of poverty. There were 1,588 who wanted the consumer of liquor to be punished equally with the seller; 5,369
of liquor to be punished equally with the seller; 5,369 urged the use of every kind of publicity. Major Mills suggested the application of the plan which he put in force during the last months of his term as Prohibition Administrator in New York—the prevention of diversion of industrial alcohol at its source, which he held to be mainly responsible for bootlegging. When he took charge of Prohibition enforcement in New York 900,000 gallons of industrial alcohol were being withdrawn monthly; he reduced the quantity of it to 350,000 gallons. In the same period he reduced the withdrawals of sacramental
In the same period he reduced the withdrawals of sacramental wine from 3,000,000 gallons a year to 60,000 gallons; the withdrawal of whisky for medicinal purposes by drug stores from 500,000 gallons a year to about half that amount— all this in his own area. BEGAN “DRY” CONTEST IN PARIS AND THE PROVINCES Two of Accused in Hanau Case Accuse Each Other of Stealing Mcray Already Stolen. THE TALK OF LONDON Political Activity Increases in Britain — Preparations Being Made for Elections. What has come to be known as the “Hanau case” — the failure of the Gazette du Franc
“Hanau case” — the failure of the Gazette du Franc and other scandalous companies connected with it — was carried one stage further yesterday with the questioning by a magistrate of two of the accused, Mme. Hanau, the “president” of the Gazette du Franc, and M. Arnard, described as a banker, who was associated with Mme. Hanau in a number of her operations. The questioning resulted in the accused accusing each other. After “Madame la Présidente” had dictated a statement in which she protested against “the press campaign against her,” declaring that if the persons who had invested in her
declaring that if the persons who had invested in her schemes acted at once they would lose nothing, she gave her version once again about the sum of one million francs which, she said, was intended to silence the newspaper Journal. This sum, she declared, she had handed to M. Arnard. M. Arnard, on the other hand, declared that he never saw the money, but that Mme. Hanau gave him a cheque which he delivered as requested to M. Audibert, the editor of the Gazette. M. Arnard contradicted himself, and corrected an earlier statement as to the date on which
corrected an earlier statement as to the date on which the circus had been given. Mme. Hanau said that it was impossible that she had given a cheque from a small cheque book, and that her cheque book was large and was to be found in the centre drawer of her desk. As she declared that she never issued the cheque, the matter of its dimensions seems unimportant. But she refused to say yesterday what she did with a sum of 200,000fr. which she had in her possession on December 3, except that it was not intended for M. Henri
3, except that it was not intended for M. Henri Dureay, another editor mentioned in the Other swindle, that of the pig breeding company known as the “Porcheries Françaises” was described before the Paris Correctional Court yesterday. Gustave Hassas, and Leon Lizeray, the founder and manager respectively, of the enterprise, are charged with swindling the public of some 11,000,000fr. The public was invited to buy pigs at 600fr. each. The pigs were to be fattened and sold at a huge profit by the company, the profit to be divided between the owner of the pig and the company. Actually there
the owner of the pig and the company. Actually there were one or two pigs owned by the pair, but where the money has gone is the mystery. Hassas spent yesterday in court proclaiming and affirming his innocence and his honesty. Alleged Swindler Fled Bolshevists. A Russian merchant named Hildebrandt missed death from the rifles of the Bolshevists only to be accused of swindling in a Paris court. He stood up before a Revolutionary firing squad in 1920, and after receiving two bullets in his body was left for dead. The wounds were not fatal, and Hildebrandt succeeded in fleeing
The wounds were not fatal, and Hildebrandt succeeded in fleeing from Russia to France. Now together with a compatriot named Orlowsky and three other merchants, he is charged with acquiring by fraudulent means goods which he sold at a low price. Disappearance “Faked." Imagination seems to have been included generously in the character of Jean Paté, a Rumanian, who conducted a garage at Suresnes (Seine). He had borrowed 50,000fr. from employees. When the time came to repay, he left by automobile for Pithiviers (Loiret). No word came from him for many days. Then simultaneously his automobile was discovered abandoned in
many days. Then simultaneously his automobile was discovered abandoned in the Bois de Boulogne and a friend received a letter announcing that he had taken two men as passengers on a return trip to Paris. Fearing foul play, the police began an inquiry. In the Quai de la Rapée, in Paris, two officers encountered Paté himself. He admitted that the “foul play” was to his own making. He received a reprimand in the police court for his false disappearance, but since no actual injury was shown he was released. BOY PILOT KILLED AT START OF TOUR SAINT RAPHAËL (Var) Sunday.—Pierre
PILOT KILLED AT START OF TOUR SAINT RAPHAËL (Var) Sunday.—Pierre Fiesbach, a noted French aviator although he was aged only eighteen years, was killed in an accident yesterday not far from here. The accident occurred soon after he had taken off from the Fréjus aerodrome bound for Rome in the course of an attempt to fly to India in a light airplane. He was passing over Le Trayas, when his machine dived to the rocky coast and he was killed. His mother had come from Paris to watch him leave and she saw him fall.

and she saw him fall. (Paris Times Correspondence) London, Sunday. Political activity becomes greater daily in Great Britain. With the general election approaching and with several by-elections due to precede it, party organizations are doing their utmost to raise enthusiasm which the freezing weather is liable to destroy. A broadcasting experiment will be carried out during the week after next, with a view to testing the amount of public interest in the use of radio for campaigning in the general election. The British Broadcasting Corporation will relay a debate by speakers of the three Parties on the de-rating and local
speakers of the three Parties on the de-rating and local government proposals of the Government. The case for the proposals will probably be presented by Sir H. Kingsley Wood, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health. The Liberal speaker will probably be Mr. Ramsay Muir and it is hoped that Miss Susan Lawrence will speak for Labor. In the meantime, several by-elections are engaging attention. There must be one in South Battersea, consequent upon the elevation to the peerage of Viscount Curzon. Candidates will be chosen during the coming week. Mr. James A. Pringle K.C. will not stand again for
Mr. James A. Pringle K.C. will not stand again for Fermanagh and Tyrone, a seat which he won without difficulty at the last general election. A Joke Shoots. Mr. Lewis Spence, the Scottish Nationalist candidate at the by-election in North Midlothian on January 29, does not take at all seriously the shooting affray which occurred after he spoke in West Calder. He was driving with his wife when a man fired half-a dozen shots at him with a revolver. He was not hurt, and he believes that the cartridges were blanks and that the whole thing was a practical joke.
blanks and that the whole thing was a practical joke. Mr. R.B. Cunningham-Graham, the ardent Nationalist, was in a motor-car following and he is of the same opinion. Neither man gives credit to the theory of a belated counter-attack by some follower of Edward II. It must not be imagined, however, that enemies of the Bruce are the only dangers to political candidates. There are indignant widows from the Channel Islands also. Such, for example, is Lady Houston, whose defense of her husband’s fortune and whose dealings with Mr. Winston Churchill in the matter of death duties are now classical
Churchill in the matter of death duties are now classical in State finance. Recently Lady Houston gave £30,000 to the Lord Mayor’s Fund for destitute miners. With the gift she added advice to miners to rid themselves of trade unions. This is not at all the kind of thing that labor leaders like and Dr. Hugh Dalton, present Labor Member for Camberwell and prospective candidate for Bishop Auckland, wrote as much in a newspaper. Now Lady Houston is saying exactly what she thinks of Dr. Dalton. Dr. Dalton’s wife is contesting the Bishop Auckland by-election in an endeavor to “keep
contesting the Bishop Auckland by-election in an endeavor to “keep the seat warm” for her husband at the general election. It seems that no fund can be raised for those in distress these days without bitterness and backbiting in connection with it. In the matter of the Rye Harbor lifeboat disaster fund there now comes another delay. No more of the £35,000 collected is to be distributed in temporary relief until the Mayor and the other trustees have considered their legal position. Meanwhile, the widows of the seventeen men who lost their lives are more than impatient with the Mayor,
lost their lives are more than impatient with the Mayor, who keeps the money from them and who has expressed a wish to embellish his township with it. He is taking Counsel’s opinion. Of course, Counsel’s fee comes out of the fund. Comrade Cook Reprieved. But reverting to the Miners’ Federation, which Lady Houston so much dislikes. It seems as though the Federation will be embarrassed considerably in the coming election when it is called upon to present its candidates. By now, it has forty representatives in the House of Commons, but times are hard in the coalfields and money
Commons, but times are hard in the coalfields and money is tight. It seems improbable that it will be able to keep them there. Meanwhile, the insubordination of Comrade Cook, Secretary of the Federation, is being overlooked. It was to be come up for discussion at the last meeting of delegates. Consideration of it was delayed, however, and may be again delayed until after the general election. In the meantime, the differences between the National Union of Railwaymen and the Transport Workers’ Union do not seem to be any nearer to solution. The two unions are still at loggerheads regarding
to solution. The two unions are still at loggerheads regarding the status of those road workers who are employed by the railways in the “railroad war.” So far, the proposed amalgamation of the two unions has not found favor.
