SAYS PROHIBITION i IS HERE TO STAY Leading Dry Crusader Says Newspaper Dolls Do Not Represent Sentiment By Mux Buiklngham t United Press Staff t'orrespondent) Chicago, Mur. 13 Prohibition is hers to slay and tin- poll* being taken throughout the county by leading newspapers—polls thut show a majority of npproxxtmatcly in to 1 In favor of modification of the dry law -do not represent the sentiment of the American public in the opinion of Arthur Burrage Farwell, one of the foremost prohibition crusaders of the middfewest. I "The newspapers are making an honest effort to get the public sentiment,” Farwell told the United Press In an Interview today. “Hut the fact remains that most of the answers are coming from enthusiastic wets who full to recognise that prohibition is here to stay." \ Farwell declared that hid a similar poll been taken while the country still had the saloons, the drys would have won a commanding victory. Tito wets at that time would have scoffed at the ,I‘lea the drys could put through a pro‘,h I hit ion measure. The wets wouldn't have voted then, just as the drys arc failing to vote now, he said. “The youngsters, who really do not | know the issues Involved in this fight, are turning in many voles in favor of modification," Farwell said. "They have grown up since the saloon evil was wiped nut, consequently they do not know what betterment has been brought about through prohibition. Therefore they vote in favor of repealing the law.” The white-haired patrianhi.il ilry leader, is proud of the fact that he has been battling bcoze for 57 years. ■ He is nearly 70 now and still com- ' mands many of the dry forces in Chi- ( cago, while serving as president of the • Chicago ami Order League. J "A am proud that rny family name has been connected with the dry fight for -05 consecutive years." Farwell said. “My father was one of the first dry advocates in New England and I 'picked up the work where he quit.” j In the days of his father, he said [ that “rum was hell," in fact, just as much so as moonshine is tbday. • j The question arose as to whether . the United State, should finance a nationwide pal) on the prohibition j question, sire.h as has been advocated [in congress recently. Farwell chuckled at first, then grew serious. i 1 “it will ice n long time before the ■ government will spend a great deal of ■ money to break down the Oonstitui lion under which it works." The younger set is npt suffering , from the dire effects of prohibition such as wet advocates, Farwell said. ‘Why in the twelve yeati-t between 1906 and 1918, there were 50,812 barlicenses issued for places to operate between 3 p. m. and 3 a. m, in Chijeago,” he declared. "These bars were mostly dance halls and gathering places for tihe younger set. Isn’t that much worse than the present clay oondititnos.” o— V alparaiso Legionaires To Be Cited For Heroic Service In Fighting Fire Indianapolis, Mar. 13. — Recognition of heroic -service to community was contained»today in a recommendation , that members of Charles Pratt Post Mo. 94, The American Legion, at Valparaiso, Ind., be issued a Citation for Distinguished Service by National Headquarters of the organization. The citation is tlie result of the work done by Valparaiso Legionaires in fighting a fire which burned a portion of the j Valparaiso business section recently and in which two men wore killed, j About forty members of the Valparaiso legion Post assisted the eight Valparaiso firennent in combatting the flames, sticking to the job for twentyfour hours in zero weather. About twenty-five legionaires, under the direction of Charles 11. Gilliland, Commander of the Valparaiso Post, and Harvey C. Varner, 10th, District legion executive committeeman, were on the burning structure when the roof fell, resulting in the fatalities. One member of the Post was severely injured, but has recovered. Chinese Kidnappers Apprehended By Raid On Torture Chamber I Shanghai.— (United Press.) —That kidnapping is one of the best paying professions in China is being evidenced at the International Mixed court here where a gang of twelve men and women are on trial on a series of abduction charges. More than $50,000 in cash and aj

well storked miniature arssnut were seized by police of the Inierimllonul and French settlements in a series of raids conducted on the headquarters of the gang, and evidence lias already been given by one of the most tvcenl victims of this paiticulur band of outlaws thut be paid over to them s2no,bfto in cash in order to obtain his release after he had been abmluded. In one of the houses maintained by the kidnappers, the police found s3l. 000 In cash, a number of pistols arid a quantity of am munition, leg irons, chains, and various appliances for administering torture. The widespread operations of the kidnapping gangs In China arc mathposslble largely because of the terror which Uiey inspire. Only a minority of the abductions which occur are ever reported to th ( . police. In most cases, llie families of the victims know that the outlaws will show no hesitancy in carrying out their threats of torture and death, and the ransom money is landed over without question. CARD OF THANKS We wish in tilts manner to express our sincere thunks for the acts of kindness and words of sympathy shown us during tbo illness and death of our husband and father.
