LIQUOR BUSINESS FLOURISHES HERE (Continued FY-om Page One) of the 470 brought before the court betwen July 1. 1920, a year after Federal prohibition went into effect, and June 30, 1924. Business Man Now When Federal Court places its stamp on q "bootleggger” he’s the same as vaccinated against future ills, so to speak. When a man draw * a Federal railroad pass, the return ticket generally has expired before he has time to use it. And the memory of Leavenworth or Atlanta sticks. The bootlegger no longer belongs to the proletariat—he is a flourishing business man. “The class of frequent violators of liquor lows is shifting from the | working people to the buriness man," | declared George Winkler, Federal prohibition agent. “Only recently a woman came Into the office and showed me canceled checks amounting lo almost S6OO which her husband, a business man, has written for liquor. Oiir Estimates In the old day* it was the laboring man’s wife who complained because her husband never got home with the pay. Now it is the business man’s wife." In Criminal Court, where the big mill grinds bootleggers Into small bits, there Is another distinct set of figures. “How many ‘loggers?’ you ask William H. Remy, county prosecutor. “I couldn’t say—except thers are too many. Maybe 200 or SOO ” Enthusiastically, Claude M Worley, special investigator for Ferny, ♦!ls you there are 5,000. A bootlegger for every seventy inhabitants. “Scofflaws" Numerous Criminal Judge Tames A. Colins ► brows no bouquets on bootleggers ac n os the dtizenry. “There aren’t any ready famous bcotteggers here,” he said ‘ There, are a lot of famous ‘seofl laws ’ though, If the truth wero known. I should say there are about 1,500 bootleggers In Indk napclte, ’ -ledge Collinu ventured Worley saw occasion to reduce his estimate, therewith, to 2,500. faking a rough guess at the amount of money collected in Criminal Court through liquor fines. Judge Collins estimated SIOO,OOO has gone into the school fund since April 1. 1918, when prohibition became effective in Indiana. With its omniscient eyes the AntiSaloon League took a medium course. “Divide the reports of the most pessimistic and the most optimistic dry advocate and you will arrive close to the truth.” declared E. S. Shumaker, superintendent. Quasi-Bootleggers Taking Shumaker's advise, there is nothing to disqualify the 1,000 figure. And that's giving the benefit of the doubt to the quasi-bootleggers.

She was a life member of the church and a Sunday school teacher there for years. the men who can get it through a "friend,” whose grandfather left a case of 14-year-old Scotch, or who knows a "good druggist.” Ungrammatically you ask, “Where does it all come from?” From Government warehouses? Nay, najA-from the hills of Indiana, from Chicago and from the basements of Indianapolis. The "MU” liquor usually rides in the tonneau of an expensive automobile. The driver gets SIOO for driving to some small city, say Clinton, and returning the next day. In the Right While the driver is asleep In a hotel at the moonshiners’ rendezvous, his car Is filled with the precious fluid. He returns to Indianapolis "utterly unaware" of his lading. And he gets SIOO for taking the chance, defense costs if he gets caught, and a handsome bonus for whatever time he may draw. The concocting Is usually done In basements. By the time the “experts" get through with a batch cf the stuff It may hear nil the resemblance to an honest-to-goodness bottle of White Horse Scotch—bottle, labels, revenue seal and everything. The buyer pays anywhere from $9 to sl2 a quart for it. Prices High It is hard to say how much of this stuff come* into Indianapolis daily, even when estimating it is being sold as fast as 1,000 bootleggers can take orders and deliver. Real liquor comes "high” because of its real worth. Cheap stuff comes high because of the greater hazard in its fabrication and delivery. If all stuff that is sold were “good stuff," it is an easy guess that $50,000 worth of it daily reaches the hands of customers. A botlegger who can’t deliver SSO worth of the commodity In one day doesn’t deserve to be called a bootlegger. unioiTto fight change West Virginia Operators to Be Pres. ent at Pittsburgh Conference.

PROBLEM IS MET IN PRINTING LIST OF AUTOOWNERS Where and When to Apply SIO,OOO Appropriation Gives Concern. Administration of the Nejdl bill requiring the Secretary of State to prepae lists of all nutomobile owners in the State for use of sheriffs and po lice officers, is causing State officials no small concern. The act. whi<;h has been signed by the Governor, carries a SIO,OOO appropriation for preparation of the lists and provides they shall be distributed at cost. George H. Healey, clerk of the State pinting board, has figured that the least the work could be done for would be $20,290.18. This figure would include composition. paj?e£ stock and labor, but not the preparation of copy which would have to be done by the State. Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeier. to determine whether it would be possible to apply the ap propriatlon on the total cost and pay the vest when a sufficient number of the lists had been sold, will ask Attorney General Gilliom for an opinion on the matter. Some officials doubt ths practicability of this plan. Allowing for the 760,000 motor vehicles in the State. Healey figured a bound list would be five times thicker than an Indianapolis tel ephone book. He said it W’ould take one linotype operator three years to set the type.
