RICH BUYERS OF BOOTLEG DRAW SHUMAKER FIRE Charges Officials Fail to Do Duty in Enforcing of Law. Some officials are ‘‘falling far hort of doing their duty” in enforcing the eighteenth amendment, the Rev. Edward S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Saloon League superintendent, declared Sunday night at Broadway M. E. church. “I believe there are some mem-F-ers of the police department who i'e getting graft, but I do not say that about the whole police department a a whole,” the dry leader said. Dr Shumake's voice was weak and he lacked some ot the 'punch” he had before serving the sixty-day term at the Indiana state farm for contempt of the Indiana supreme court. ‘ The higher class, so called,” who have their “private bootleggers,” were flayed by the dry leader. Indifference Chief Foe “Men high up haven't been able to . ee that the eighteenth amendment applies to them the same as to the poor man. They have made more trouble in the enforcement of the prohibition act than all the underworld characters of the tenderloin district and the foreign element. When they learn to respect the eighteenth amendment we will have passed.an important milestone.” Dr. Shumaker predicted that the country will “face the greatest peril” within tire next four years. “We must stand by the course. Ciod pity us if America ever again is under the heel of John BarleyCorn. Prohibition at its worst is infinitely better than the saloons at their best The trouble now is ‘old man indifference.’ The liquor interests have never given up. The trouble in the future will be that the youth of this country may be deceived by such allurements as the Canadian governmental control system.” Appeals for Money The dry crusader referred frequently to his experiences "down there at the farm,” and announced tjiat his “husky voice was due to conditions down there.” “1 was solicited for counsel on nearly every subject imaginabletheology. law, philosophy and divorce cases. Thank God for those experiences, they have made me stronger in Christ Jesus. They that live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer presecution,” he said. Dr. Shumaker closed his address with a fervent appeal for money. “This cause needs the hearty, liberal enthusiastic support to weather the storm that will rage before another four years. Curious crowds will not always come to hear a man like Shumaker. Help the noblest reform movement of all time.” Dr. F. Scott Mcßride, superintendent of Anti-Saloon League of America, spoke at Roberts Park S K. church Sunday night. “Prohibition is here because tii: people wanted it and voted it into the constitution. The sale and use of liquor must be destroyed before prohibition can be a success.” BISHOP OF BALTIMORE MAY BE NEW CARDINAL Fight New Princes of Church to Be Named In May. Hii Unitat Pn aa ROME, April B—Michael Joseph Curley, archbishop of Baltimore, may be one oi the eight new cardinais to be nominated by Pope Pus XI during the mid-May conftstory, it was understood in high ecclesiastical circles here today. Should the archbishop of Baltimore be honored with the red hat it was pointed out it would be a final mark of acceptance on the part of the Vatican that the south of the United States should have a representative in the sacred college, particularly in view of the fact tha T the diocese oi Baltimore is the priAiatial of the North American see The beliet that Archbishop Curley would receive high consideration at the consistory was strengthened bv the knowledge that he was the successor at Baltimore to the late Cardinal Gibbons, whose name is one of the most illustrious in American ecclesiastical history. Os the eight new’ cardinals to be chosen in May. it was understood, only four will be Italian. uUDENDORFF’S MARRIED LIFE BARED IN BOOK First Wife to Describe Marital Failure in New Volume.

Statehouse Employe Once ‘Lost in Action

Returned From No Man’s Land to Find Self Listed ‘Dead.’ “Lost in action in the fighting in he Meuse-Argonne sector.” This was the rating given Fred S. Hockett, 852 North Tacoma avenue youth, who was one of the first to enlist here at the entrance of America into the World war. But today he is piloting the east elevator at the statehouse. Evidently there was some mistake. Hockett explains it by recalling the dark night that he got lost while on a water detail and found himself so close to the German lines that it was necessary to seek shelter during daylight. I.istcd as “Lost” When at last he arrived back with his company he found he was listed as “lost.” “The worst of it was that they had reissued ail mv clot hi ne and equipment to a recruit,” he declared Hockett is one ot several ex-ser-vice men who have secured employment at the statehouse recently. Although it has not been made an announced policy, Governor Harry G. Leslie has passed the word around that he favors giving the former soldiers jobs whenever possible. In Three Offensives Hockett fought in the three major offensives of the Americans—Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne. He was a machine gunner in the Third division of the regular army. Nearly all of his squad members and his corporal were killed in action, but the Indianapolis youth escaped with just a touch of gas. His Victory Medal carried every bar possible—“defensive sector” and one each for the three outstanding feats of American arms.

Bn United Press CHICAGO, April B.—The federal reserve board's policy to curb stock speculation is illegal usurpation of power, in the opinion of Congressman Frank R.

PARIS PROVIDES NUDITY_SHRINE Seine Island Gambols to Be Hidden From Vulgar. PA*RIS. April B.—lie Platais. a little island in the middle of the Seine, soon will contain a shrine to nudity, where those who feel so inclined may gather to dance and gambol in true terpsichorean style, j hidden from the gaze of the vulgar. I The cult of nudity as an aid to J health, which gained so much strength in Germany following the war, has spread to France under the guidance of the Societe Naturiste. The rites consist of throwing aside cumbersome clothes—and 1 even those which are not cumber- j some—and dancing as the Cretans did in olden times. One sex mingles with the other without even so much as a blush. There was quite a turnout Sun- j day, but as the proposed nudity stadium has not yet been completed the dancers were forced to wear

MOVE FOR BEER IN WISCONSIN Bill in Assembly, Seems Certain of 0. K. MADISON. Wis„ April B—The foaming beer mug appeared to be just around the corner today for* thirsty Badgers. Demanded by Wisconsin voters in a referendum last week, a bill to repeal the state prohibition enforcement act and erase penalties for beer making, starts its legislative course Tuesday with few if any snags showing above the surface. The state senate, where drys had hoped to block the act. appeared safe for the wets, a poll showing nineteen of the thirty-three of the members ready to vote for the measure. The house is considered overwhelmingly wet. Just one stretch of shoal water appeared in the course of the wets —Governor Walter J. Kohler, who before his election was known over the nation as the originator of tinted bathtubs.
