SWEEPING SHIFT LOOMS FOR DRY FORCE IN WEST Woodcock Arrives in' Denver, With Legion Clamoring for Shakeup. Bu Bortpps-Howard Xewspape? Alliance DENVER, Nov. 30.—With arrival of Amos W. Woodcock, federal prohibition administrator, this city, Colorado and the Rocky mountain west awaits a major prohibition clean-up. Actuated by the slaying of Melford G. Smith by Henry Dierks, federal prohibition agent, in a scuffle over three ounces of wine, indignation of the region is aroused and demand will be made upon Woodcock for ousting of John F. Vivipn, regional prohibition director, and wholesale dismissals among his force. The demands reached a climax Friday, when the Rocky Mountain News published documents showing the financial relationship between Vivian and Dierks prior to the latter’s appointment as agent. Tactics Are Assailed Instances of brutality, use of young girls and women in investigations, drunkenness, flagrant disregard for the rights of citizens, use of United States army officers’ uniforms in investigations, and numerous other instances of alleged maladministration will be laid before Woodcock. Names of scores of politicians and business men ani county, state, and federal holders have been revealed as having had financial dealings •with Vivian. The widow ~>f a former agent, Mrs. Charles Crooks, has disclosed that, following the appointment of her husband, Vivian borrowed in excess of sl*ooo from him. Borrowed Large Sums Federal investigators estimate his total borrowings at many thousands of dollars. Bank records reveal he had financial dealings with his deputy administrator, John C. Richardson, with Stephen A. Bonney, an agent charged in civil action with having opened fire wantonly on an innocent boy and girl, children of prominent Denver families; with C. H. Stearns, deputy administrator at Albuquerque, and C. L. Midcap, inspector in the United States bureau of industrial alcohol. In the matter of brutality, Dierks has admitted using his gun to "slap a 16-year-old boy in the mouth. The boy, Dierks’ testimony disclosed, was handcuffed to another youth at the time. The -blow knocked out two of the boy’s teeth.

SERMONS DEAL WITH ECONOMIC, SOCIAL TOPICS World Peace, Birth Control and • Politics Discussed From City Pulpits. A wide range of social and economic questions were discussed by local and visiting religious leaders in city churches Sunday. The fate of Europe, birth control, woman’s freedom and political leadership were among topics of speakers. "The fate of Europe will be decided by decisions made in Germany in the next two years,” said Bishop John Louis Nuelsen of Zurich, Switzerland, at Roberts Park Methodist church. "On one side of Germany stands Russia, building a civilization of materialism and mass effort, while on the other stand England and France, powerful nations representing centuries of development based to a great extent on the principles of the Gospel and the ideals of individual effort of the western world.” Sounds Birth Control Warning Birth control, like anything else, can be dangerous and demoralizing if not properly handled, warned Dr. Alfred P. Van Deusen, educator, at the Y. M. C. A. Big Meeting at B. F. Keith’s theater. Training in the home, school and church will assure protection of birth control, he pointed out. “The world, no longer exclusively man’s, has given women freedom, and unless she makes proper use of it there is danger,” said the Rev. William F. Rothenburger, pastor of the Third Christian church, to the Girls’ Federation class. “If she puts marriage on the basis of thrill and romance alone she is destined to be disappointed. "The safety of her home will depend on perpetuity of those stable elements in ideal marriage, namely love, intelligence, common sense, companionship and the rearing of children.” Cadle Flays Politics E. Howard Cadle at Cadle Tabernacle flayed “boss-ridden” political parties. “America is suffering because of the political mess into which spine-

less political leadership has led it,” he declared. “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, Alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced” was the subject of the Churches of Christ, Scientist. It was pointed out that mesmerism implies exercise of despotic control, and is much more likely to be abused by Its possessor than otherwise employed, for the individual and society. No failure need be final or fatal, stated Rev. B. Brooks Shake, pastor of the Grace M. E. church. “Hold His hand and you will have a hold on life, victory and progress,” he said. "Ability and opportunity are two great factors in achieving success,'* Albfert Wolf, vice-president of the State Automobile Insurance Association, told the boys’ big meeting of the Central Y. M. C.

FILM IS VIVID PORTRAYAL OF WILSON’S LIFE World War Days Recalled for Throngs Witnessing Memorial Picture. Throngs of Woodrow Wilson admirers, from grammar school children to gray-haired grandfathers, thronged Keith’s theater Saturday afternoon and night to see the life of the great statesman re-enacted in moving pictures. The Wilson Memorial film u T as presented in four showings by The Times for benefit of the made-work program for unemployed. Not since war days had those who viewed the film been stirred with

such patriotic zeal as when, in picture, they witnessed Wilson leading his countrymen through those tragic days from 1914 to 1918. Occupying front-row seats were twentflve children from the Indianapolis Orphans’ home. Their admissions were paid by kindness of County Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson. Scores of children, many with their parents, were treated to a vivid, enthralling lesson in history. They saw Wilson, the idealist, standing at the helm leading the world from beneath war’s dark clouds. With remarkable detail and continuity the film showed scenes of the great war, at home and abroad. Many voiced an expression that the picture is a more fitting memorial than any granite shaft or imposing monument. Sentiment throbbed deeply through the audience as it watched Wilson, the strong-hearted and triumphant, grow’ care-worn and haggard during his last days—days when his
