Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, field marshal of the Federal prohibition forces, today began to reduce his dry army by about 600, because of lack of funds. Administrators in “dry” States have been told to cut their forces to the bone. In “wet” States, regional chiefs were advised to cut their forces so as to reduce expenses. A few detectives of “quality” will accomplish twice as much as 100 agents of the “patrolman type.” Andrews said.

DISTRICTS IN CITY HAVE QUEER NAMES

Telephone Desk Man at Police Headquarters Tells of ‘Lost City,’ ‘Storm Center,’ ‘Rag Alley’ and Others.

“Anything doing?” an ambitious reporter asked Mose Church, telephone desk man at police headquarters recently during a quest for news. “Yep, we gotta a hold-up out in Lost City and a Negro murder in Storm Center," Mose replied between calls. “Lost City and Storm Center?" the reporter queried as he scratched his head, while wondering if he was a victim of a joke.. “Sure, didn't you ever hear of them,” Mose replied, “pull up a hair and I’ll put you wise to some parts of town you never heard about.” According to Mose, Lost City Is a Negro district in a little hollow northwest of the intersection of Indiana Ave. and Fall Creek and is so named because of its desolate location. In former years, while saloons flourishing, Lost City was a thorn in the side of the police force, due to the amount of trouble that occurred there. Storm Center, located in the vicinity surrounding Nineteenth St. and Columbia Ave., is and has been the scene of many crimes among the Negroes and is deserving of its name, according to Mose. Rag Alley Then there Is Rag Alley, now known as Toledo St., and Norwood, a district that extends southeast from the end of the Prospect street car line. South of Norwood lays Lovetown, a Negro district, and the territory in Norwood around the railroad yards is known as Nigger Hill. Indiana Ave., from Ohio St. to Fall Creek, has many names. The 300 and 400 blocks are known as White City; the 500 block as Bucktown and from the 500 block to Fall

SEE BEVERIDGE AS CANDIDATE —7 Believe Watson, However, Has Loophole. Bu Times Bpeein l WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.—Despite his recent denials, former Senator Beveridge is still considered a potential candidate in next spring’s primary for the Republican nomination for Senator, by members of the Indiana delegation and other Indianans here. His shadow on the wall became bigger and blacker, they believe, with his long letter praising Senator Fcrpald of Main for the latter's announced stand In opposition to the World Court. Should either Indiana Senator vote for the court, but more especially Watson, the action would leave a big loophole for Beveridge to enter one of his typical whirlwind campaigns, appealing to the strong anticourt sentiment in Indiana. From present indications It is not believed, however that he will find the loophole.
