BORAH READY WITH PROOF IN DRY RULE WAR Idaho Senator Expected to Present Startling Facts of Inefficiency. BV PAUL R. MALLOX United Press Stuff Corr**< pondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Evidence in support of his charges that open saloons are operating throughout the country and that the alcohol permit system of the treasury department is questionable, is held by Senator Borah <Rep., Idaho) the United Press learned today. The Idaho dry leader has been accumulating data for the last six months, it was learned, and may make it public when he deems it the proper time, probably when the issue is raised on the floor of the senate after the Christmas holidays. Conditions in the districts of seventeen United States attorneys are understood to be challenged by this information, which led Borah to issue the most sensational attack on enforcement made by a prominent dry since the prohibition law was enacted ten years ago. Three Charges Made As they now stand Borah’s charges are three: 1. Prohibition enforcement personnel must undergo a checkup "from top to bottom,” If prohibition is ever to be enforced. 2. Practically open saloons are running under the noses of district attorneys throughout the countryarid not only in New York and Chicago. 3. The new system under which permits are issued for manufacture and release of industrial alcohol constitutes a scandal for which enforcement headquarters In • Washington is directly responsible. When Borah made Ills first charge last Monday, he was met with immediate answers from AttorneyGeneral Mitchell and treasury officials, who said a shakeup in personnel was then under way. His next two char ges, made Saturday while his dry friends in the senate were urging him to "stand by the President." brought no comment over the week-end from the White House, Justice or treasury departments. Proof Is Demanded The usual way such charges have been handled by Washington officials is to demand the author of the charge prove his assertions. Three Washington newspaper men recently spent thirty-five days in Jail because they refused to amplify their charges that nearly fifty speakeasies were being operated in Washington. The issue has raised such a furore among drys and wets over the holidays that extended debate on the subject is anticipated when the senate reconvenes Jan. 6. At that time reports may be ready from the President’s law enforcement commission regarding remedial legislation to be recommended for improvement of conditions. The vets have been silent during the holiday controversy. A statement was issued Sunday night by Representative John J. Cochran (Dem., Mo.) denying there was any friction among wet bloc members. He said a meeting of the bloc would be held soon to agree on procedure. .FAKE BILLS CIRCULATED Government Agents Watch for Appearance of Counterfeit Money. Government agents in Indianapolis watched diligently during the holiday season for the appearance of counterfeit money. None appeared except a dubious concoction of two fake confederate bills, with the backs used as advertising, pasted together. The outside showed a facsimile ten-dollar bill of the Confederate States of America, dated 1861. This was given on a purchase of a 98cent chicken at the city market, and found its way into the hands of secret service officials today.

City Barber Has Array of Antiques Used for National Figures. BY TRISTRAM COFFIN A collection of twenty-nine shaving mugs is the pride of Mac McMurray of 722 Edgemont avenue, Negro barber at the Board of Trade barber shop, evidence of the three generations he has shaved. The name in glittering gilt on these treasures of bygone days include those of Arthur Baxter, Elijah Martindale, Judge Reatus Hatch, Fred Joss, W. H. Howard and F. W. Wasson. With pride Mac shows the mugs and then tells how men who first came to him, now send their grandchildren, one man in Richmond sending a telegram for appointments for his son. Daily Mac shines up the mugs, relics of the days when long haircuts were in vogue and when he practiced the tonsorial art at the Denison hotel. He snipped the shears and used the forming brush on such famous men as President William McKinley, President Benjamin Harrison, Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks, Attorney-General W. H. H. Miller, Addison C. Harris, ambassador to Austria-Hungary; James Whitcomb Riley and ex-Governor James P. Goodrich. “Let me see,” he recalled. “President Harrison liked his hair long and he loved to have it rubbed real hard. I can hear him now, booming out in his deep voice, ‘rub, rub, Mac.’ “Riley liked his hair short on top and long on the sides. Senator Albert J. Beveridge was most particular. When he first came In here, I can remember, he brought a large picture of himself and placed it on the table. He told me to cut his hair like the picture showed. “We had the most fun out of Riley. He would come in at. the Denison, sit down and spin all sorts of yarns about ‘Frank,’ a character he made up. Unless you knew Riley you would think him crazy to hear him talk about Frank and Fairground Fan, another of his characters. Any exciting thing that happened, Riley would say ‘Frank did that’ and tell a big story about it. When Riley and Bill Nye were together the shop patrons had a lot of fun.” McMurray started as a barber in Indianapolis, twenty-three years ago. HOUSE Move In Radio for Occupancy in Absence of Family.

We expect to continue with the same high standard of feeling between the police and sheriff's officers.” “Radio as it stands at this time appears to be one of the best things that has been added to police work in years. It is not worked out fully, but time will not develop it and make it a great instrument of police science. “Traffic always is a problem, but we expect to make streets safe for pedestrians, as well as to curb fast driving and driving by intoxicated motorists. The accident prevention department will be retained and possibly enlarged.” u u a Chief Worley said: “'VTEWs of the appointment of ii Jerry Kinney as my successor comes to me with a large degree of satisfaction, because for a number of years I have worked with him and as head of my detective department, we have had complete harmony. “With his long years of experience I am quite sure he will continue on the present policy of a high grade progressive police department. “It will be a pleasure for me to co-operate with him in his entrance into this office and to assist him in every way possible as my successor. “I leave the chief’s office with a feeling of praise for co-operation the men have given me, for their

Dec. 30.—Failing in an effort to commit suicide by slashing his right leg, Charles Mock, 48, a prisoner in the Wells county jail here for violating the prohibition law, dead, after starting a hunger strike. Pneumonia brought death in a hospital. Mock cut himself while in the Jail bathroom. He is believed to have used a safety razor blade. A trail of blood led back to a cell he occupied.

Booze Plan Is Attacked byW.C.T.U.

Mrs. Ella A. Boole

Bv Vnited Press EVANSTON. HI., Dec, 30.—As Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president of the W. C. T. U., sees it, the ultimate goal of American “wets” is the establishment of government sale of .inuor. She predicts direful results should that come to pass, basing her forecast on her interpretation of a report of the Canadian government on the sale of liquor in the seven provinces where it is legal. “A tremendous drink bill; increasing consumption of whisky; evidence that government sale does not promote temperance, moderation, or sobriety, nor that it prevents the establishment of drinking places nor the operation of bootleggers; sn increase in drunkenness; on increase in convictions for drunken driving.” In that paragraph she summed up in a letter to state W. C, T. U. presidents today her analysis of the Canadian report. “We know that the American flag will never float over a system of liquor selling,” she wrote, going on to state that the wets “claim that the government sale of alcoholic liquors is free from the complications which they say have accompanied prohibition.” “The Canadian official report on the results of government sale in the various provinces will disprove these claims and will effectively put an end to any such campaign in this country,” her announcement said.
