14 _THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1921. ° POLCEINGHEARD FACE B SHAKELUP Wholesale Dismissals Ex- pected to Follow Chief’s “Wet Revelations.” By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 26.—Dismissal of Chicago policemen in wholesale lots was presaged in official circles today in connection with the federal investi-; gation of violations of the prohibition laws. Following announcement Satur- day by Chief of Police Charles Fitz- morris that he believed half the police force of more than 5000 may be in- volved in liquor law violations, Charles F. Clyne, United States district attor- ney, promised his co-operation to Fitz- Tiofris and today is to furnish a list of all officers who have fallen under fed- eral investigation with whisky running and_bootlegging. Chief Fitzmorris has announced his intention of dismissing every man im- plicated in liquor deals, and claims he has a list of men that can replace hundreds of policemen if it becomes necessary to dismiss that many. In a statement issued last night the chief termed prohibition a failure until the liquor was cut off at its source of supply. Hundreds Transferred. Yesterday hundreds of policemen were transferred and reassigned and _the transfer order, it was predicted, will hit the detective bureau in a day or two. Four police sergeants now out on bonds in connection with the alleged extor- ticn of bribes in liquor cases have been questioned by state’s attorneys. It is believed a number of other officers have been implicated. Harry Brin, as- sistant state’s attorney, was expected today to begin an extensive investiga- tion into_this angle of the case. Chief Fitzmorris has expressed a belief that others outside the police department, including several poli- ticians, have been ~implicated in liquor deals, and federal authorities today began an Investigation of this report, promising the chief the fullest co-operation in unearthing the al- leged law violators. Must Stop Liquor at Source. In his statement last night Chief Fitzmorris declared that prohibition was a failure, not only in Chicago, but in every city of which he had knowledsge. “In Chicago there is more drunken- ness than there ever was—more deaths from liquor tkan before prohibition— more of every evil attributable to the use of liquor than in the days before the so-called prohibition laws became ‘cffective’,” he declared. “Prohibition enforcement in Chicago is a joke. “Chicago is like a dry farm needing the prohibition enforce- of men 1d be who tried to stop the rain and prevent the ground from soaking up the moisture. The only way to make prohibition an actuality here or any place else is to stop the liquor at its source.” —_—— PLANS IRISH BOND SALE. D. C. Society Takes Up Program for Raising $100,000. Plans for the disposal of $100,000 worth of Irish bonds in the District of Columbia, the amount apportioned to local Irish societies in the drive which starts in the United States November 15, were discussed at a meeting of the Padraic H. Pearse Council of the American Assoclation for the Recognition of the Irish Re- public at Gonzaga Hall last night. A telegram was read from the Sinn Fein undersecretary for foreign af- fairs to Irish diplomatic representa- tives In this country, cautioning against unauthorized sollcitation of funds_ostensibly for Ireland. Joseph A. Daly, vice president of the organ- ization, ‘presided. A program of Irish dances by chil- dren featured the meeting of the George Washington Council of the association at 318 Pennsylvania ave- nue.

A friendly game between these two clubs came off yesterday after- noon on the grounds of the National. The Pythian. although a junior club, evidenced a thorough knowledge of the game and proved that ere long they will make the older clubs look well to their laurels. 'The following is the score: NATIONAL Onts Runs PYTHIAN Runs 1 7 Wi 5 i 4 8 o i 1 E } Runs in each inning: 4¢ 6 7809 National . 9 68 5 4 1—46 Pythian 02600 832 Scorers—National, eCormick; Pythian, Morgan T. Ogden. Umpire—Mr. John Digger of Potomac Club. If the Nationals of today, with their great array of stars, were to score 46 runs in ten games they would undoubtedly be praised very highly. Babe Ruth, with his all-time record for home runs and runs scored, has never approached the scoring of 8 runs in a single game, like Mr. Dooley, second baseman for the old Nationals. Probably no other line of endeavor has experienced such a marked advancement as base ball. Back in 1860 the pitcher was a pitcher, in every sense of the word. Walter Johnson’s great speed, the wide-sweeping and sharp-breaking curves used today | were never dreamed a possibility. If one of those “old- timers” could step into a modern base ball park today— see the great seating arrangements, the well kept and spacious playing grounds—imagine his astonishment, LIKE BASE BALL—storekeeping has improved with the passing of years. Starting 'way back in the days of 1860, the house of Lansburgh & Brother has been steadily pushing forward with Washington, grow= ing with the Capital city, keeping step with its every bl movement, coming in closer relation with its people, treating them fairly and with honor—and consequently gaining their confidence. + .
