2 DEATHS BLANED| * ON POISNLIQUR Two Dealers Arrested, One on Homicide Charge, in Buffalo, N. Y. By the Assoctated Press. [ BUFFALO, N. ¥, July 26.—Thirty deaths have been reported in Buffalo and vicinity from wood alcohol, pre- sumably sold at soft drink stands. Two dealers have been arrested, one on a homicide charge. The police to- day were seeking James Volker as the distributor of the liguor. Acting Chief of Police John S. Marnon sald he would ask at least five indictments for murder. Over the week end the death toll in Buffalo was 13, while an equal num- ber died In Toronto and other Ontario mw{!s. and four died in Lockport, Twenty soft drink parlors in Buffalo had been closed yesterday by the po- lce. Carl Maischess, soft drink dealer, was arrested on an open charge after police were informed he had sold liquor to Nellle McCarthy and Charles Lennon, who died after a party at Miss McCarthy's apart- ment. Two others who attended the party were taken to a hospital dan- gerously ill. Joseph Banos, alleged middleman for Volker, was held on a homicide charge. Banos sald he re- turned 240 gallons of liquor to Volker when he found it was not fit to drink. ie0 Regan, acting prohibition ad- ministrator, sald he was almost cer- tain the liquor that caused the deaths in Ontario had been smuggled from Buffalo.

BRIDGE DEATH TOLL NOW PLACED AT 6 Collapse of Structure in West Virginia Laid to Over- " crowding at Carnival. By the Associated Pross. CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 26.— The death toll in the collapse into Coal River of a footbridge at Whites- ville, 40 miles from here, remained at six today, but officials sald further search of the river bed might reveal additional victims. An investigation ordered by Gov. Howard M. Gore shortly after the collapse of the bridge Saturday night, indicated a turnbuckle had given way before the combined weight of the more than a hundred persons packed on the bridge to witness a water car- nival, precipitating them into the shal- low waters of the river, 20 feet be- low. Checks and rechecks made by of- ficlals have placed the injured at more than 65, five of them in a serious condition. Reports which have fixed the dead at more than six have not been borne out by the search thus far, authorities said, while admitting there was a possibility that additional bodies might be recovered. Scenes of wild confusion followed breaking of the steel cables at one end of the bridge, sliding spectators into the river bed, where they lay stunned, a mass of tangled flesh. Rescue work, however, was quickly organized, Gov. Gore himself taking charge of relief operations. Special - |trains, carrying doctors and nurses, were dispatched from Charleston and more seriously injured were brought here. ; TR CHARGES CRABBERS 5 the basement of the Presbyterian Monday ever August 9. 1926. af p.m., will hear all parties interested n e work herein proposed.

LONDON, July 26.—The visit of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to FEurope was the subject of several questions in the House of Commons today. Members of the House ques- tioned the government as to whether Mr. Mellon has expressed the inten- tion of visiting London for any of- ficial purpose and whether Chancellor of the Exchequer Churchill would have an opportunity to meet him. ‘Ronald McNeill, financial secretary to the treasury, replied that Mr. Churchill had ' no information con- cerning the movements of the Ameri- can of the Treasury beyond what has appeared in the press. He added that the British government had no reason to believe that Mr. Meilon’s visit had any official signifi- cance, The next question was whether it would not be conducive to better un- derstanding between the United States and Great Britain if Secretary Mellon were invited to the British treasury to make himself acquainted ‘with the real facts of the Anglo-American debt settlement. It was suggested that this would be. advisable in. view of reiteration by = the TUnited States inaccurate con- cerning the Mr. McNeill answered that was a matter into which obviously he could not go. .

CANTON, Ohlo, July 26.—Reaching deep within Canfon’s “jungle” today detectives are believed to be groping closer to the sinster figure who plot- ted the murder of Don R. Mellett, newspaper publisher, shot to death on July 16. Word came from the underworld, where illicit ring leaders conspired to do away with their foe, that the mys- tery woman, regarded as the key to the investigation, will surrender to police today. Sought for ;several days, searchers were told she arrived in'the city last [ night prepared to face inquisition. Arrests Thought Near.

(Continued from First Page.) interfere with the right to distill li- quor or brew beer for shipment out- s¥le the province. The result is the eRistence of many brewerles and dis- tilleries, which are working full time withina _province wnich prohibits the sale of their wares. The act passed in 1916 described liq- ours fas any drink or combination of drinks which are intoxicating, and laid down a legislative definition that any liquor containing more than 2% per sent proof spirits “shall be conclusively deemed to be intoxicating.” The act did not go so far as to prohibit the im- portation of liquor into the province, as the government felt that such mat- ters as manufacture, exportation and importation should be left to the Do- minion. The law allowed the sale of native wine, permitted home brewing and the use of gtocks in domestic cel- lars on the ground that a man’s home is his castle and what he does there is his own affair. In the same year, however, the_Dominion government passed a law prohibiting the importa- tion of liquor into Ontario in contra- vention of the O. 1. A. That is, it prohibfted the impertation of liquor for sale, but there was nothing to pre- vent a man from importing all he wanted for his own ase. War-Time Law Abolished. In 1919 the temperance forces set up a howl for more and better regu- lations. They wanted to cut off importation of liquor into Ontario for any and every purpose. The Canadian Parliament decided to let each province settle the matter and arranged to hold a plebiscite in 1921 to determine whether the importation of liquor for beverage purposes or for sale should be prohivited in provinces which prohibited its sale. In the same year—1919—the government of On- tario decided to find out how the peo- ple liked thelr temperance act, so they put it to a popular vote. The vote carried In favor of its continuance by a majority of 400,000. The drys were sitting pretty. But two years later, when the Dominion government's plebiscite on the importing question was held, the majority had dwindled to 167,000. This decrease was proclaimed by the wets as indicating that the people were getting alarmed over further regulation. When a man could go down In his cellar and get out a that land bottle, and when he could send to Montreal Tor more if he wanted it, he was Immensely in favor of prohibition. He-preached it on the street corners and from the soap boxes, then went home to his castle and drank a Scotch highball to prohibition. But when he found he could no longer import his whisky legally when the stock in his cellar became depleted he ‘began to have his doubts about the efficacy of prohibition after all. His majority decreased from 400,000 to 167,000. Bigger Slump . Follows. Nevertheless, the law against im- porting became effective and in 1923 there was an election. The Conser- vative party came into power in Ontario and made a pledge that there would be another plebiscite on this liquor business. It was held and the majority in favor of the témperance act was 33,000. First, the majority of 400,000 had gone down to 167,000 when the question of importing liquor was put up to a vote. Then this majority of 167,000 decreased to 38,000 two years later, when the people were asked how they liked it. The wets were beginning to rejoice. The wails of the drys filled the air. The wets were clamoring for more modification; the drys were downright alarmed lest there would be any modi- fication. The Conservative party set about trying to please both sides and execute the will of the people. It found, according to the party’s spokes- man, that difficulties of enforcing the law were intensifying.. The people of the du“lwhe“ }’;l;lwlmg about their personal rights. e rural ulation was satisfied and wanted ng more modification. ~The complaint was voiced that the temperance people had ceased preaching temperance and gone to%:flslfl.t!“ lngl about it. e situation regarding the dispen- saries where medicinal liquor :Euld be obtained on a ‘doctor’s prescription had become quite a problem. Indica- tions were that the people were stead- ily returning to the use of hard liquors. At first the doctors had been allowed 100 prescriptions a month. Subse- quently the number was reduced, but | still there was a strange wave of sick- ness sweeping the province. In 1919 $2,026,000 worth of liquor had been sold through these dispensaries on doctors’ prescriptions. In 1924 $5,028,- 000 worth was issued to a sick and suffering populace. In 1920-21 there were 588,000 prescriptions; in 1923-24 there were 810,000. A lot of sickness. As {llustrating the scope of the epi- demic around Christmas time in 1924, on December 16 of that year $22,000 worth of liquor was sold on doctors’ prescriptions; on December 18, $27, 000; on December 20, $34,000; on De- cember 23, $55,000, and on December 24, Christmas eve, $50,000 worth. Christmas day the dispensaries were closed and the day after Christmas the epidemic had broken. Only $11,000 worth of liquor was sold. Doctors Hit Bar-Tending. The doctors were demanding that the burden of bartenders for the province be lifted from their sagging shoulders. The complaint was going out that prohibition applied only to the poor—that the rich could get their lquor ‘through the dis So the the last year the same time put more mm?“.'.‘."‘?n?' latter | ear decided to cutting down the prescriptions and stiffening fines for violations of the law. The drys set up a howl which was heard from one end of the prov: ince to the other, They immediately visualized the good people of Ontario swilllng the 4.4 beer and reeling from one side of the street to the other on their way home from the beer hells. The wets, on the other hand, cavorted in glee. They dug up old pictures of foaming steins of beer and gloated at the prospect. The honest working- man would have his beer after all. The government, however, knew what it was about. Its experts read deeply into the subject of alcohol by volume, proof spirit content and welght. They studled medical /au- thorities on the amount of alcohol the human system could take aboard with- out trying to climb a lamp-post. They announced at the end of long and con- centrated thought that 2.5 per cent proof s-irit content, as allowed by law, might be raised to 2.5 alcokolic con- tent by volume without affecting seri- ously the sobriety of the human race. Two and onehalf per cent alcoholic content by volume was equal to 4.4 proof spirit. The act was amended to allow the sale of this beverage. Drink Wet—That's All. Almost immediately, however, the érys stopped shedding tears and went into hysterics of uncontrolled laugh- ter. The wets, at the same time. halted their paeans of joy, stopped the welkin from ringing and began to sob plaintively. It was found that a man could not get drunk on this 4.4 stuff. Some of them tried it and were shot down for balloons. A man might drink it and drink it, but he only swelled and swelled and became sadder and sadder until he burst into tears and wept his way home—cold sober. So the drys were appeased for the time being, but the wets hailed the appearance of the 4.4 beer as no modification, but rather as an insult to the taste and capacity of a man who held it his right to get drunk on beer if he chose. / The government, meantime, is in- trusted with the enforcement of the act as it stands today, and regardless of what the government believes in, the British characceristic of rever- ence for the law is indicated in the manner of its enforcement. It is strict. Even the wets admit that. The way of the transgressor is hard, indeed, if he is caught. Many of them, of course, are not caught. At the same time, the government has its ear to the ground and a moisten- ed_finger in the air to catch the change, if any, in public sentiment to- ward prohibition. This change may be for stricter enforcement. It may be for abandonment of the present O. T. A. Any change could be effected overnight. An election and another chance for the peopie to express their views must come within a year. Briefly, the law at present prohib- its the sale, importation or transpor- tation of intoxicating liquor. Beer which contains 4.4 proof spirit, how- ever, may be sold by hotels, restau- rants, shops and clubs under permits which are issued and which are re- vocable by the attorney general. Per- mits are immediately revoked if the law is violated. A man may brew in his own home any amount of beer he wants to of any strength so long as he does not undertake to sell it. Hard Liquors Available. Hard Hquors, such as whisky, wines, gin, ale, bitters and rum, with all the oclassifications theréunder, may be pur- chased at government dispensjries on a_prescription from a duly authorized physician living and practicing medi- cine in Ontario. Liquors of the same sort may also be purchased on pre- scription at licensed drug stores in quantities not exceeding one-sixth of a quart at a time. A physician is limited to 30 prescrip- tions a month and drug stores are vis- ited regularly by inspectors who are as rigorous as bank examiners in see- ing that the law is not being violated and that too much liquor is not going to one person. Native wines are sold subject to regulations enforced by the attorney general through the board of license commissioners. Native wine is manufactured: from grapes grown and produced in Ontario. ~Anybody can buy it from the manufacturer in wholesale quantities only or not less than one b-gallon keg or one dozen bottles of a pint and a half each at one time. No-permit is required to purchase the wine, but if a purchaser buys too much of it and arouses sus- picion that he is selling it, he is im- mediately investigated. This wine, by the way, is powerful seuff. The pro- hibition against the importation of hard liquors or their sale does not ap- ply to sacramental liquors, nor to that needed for industria) purposes. ‘The matter of huw much prohibi- tion is actually brought about by the regulations outlined above, with the conditions ulting in Toronto, will be discu in a subsequent letter.

NEW YORK RUM POLL DEFENDED BY MILLS Representative, Answering Borah, Says Object Is to Remove Scorn and Contempt for Law. By the Assoclated Prees. NEW YORK, July 25.—Representa- tive Ogden L. Mills today issued a statement replying to charges by Sen- ator Borah of Idaho that the New York State prohibition referendum is a move toward nullification of the eighteenth amendment. Mr. Mills said that something must be done to make prohibition, *“if not popular, at least not an object of scorn and contempt as it is today to millions of patriotic Americans.” “T am very confident,” he said, “that an enforcement act permitting the sale of 3 or 4 per cent beer, coupled with the knowledge that we're no longer overrun by a horde of fre- || quently corrupt agents, would so alter || public opinion as enormously to facili- || tate law enforcement and greatly im- prove conditions.” New York voters will express their opinfon at the polls this fall as to whether States should determine which beverages are non-intoxicating in fact. Mr. Mills said the referendum. is designed to bring about adjustment of the eighteenth amendment to “the general structure and spirit of Ameri- can institutions.” SCOTT NEAR DESPAIR, TELLS WIFE IN LETTER Would Welcome Death. But for | Innocence of Slaying and Loved Ones, He Says. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 26.—Russell Scott, condemned murderer of Richard Maurer, clerk killed in a drug store robbery, has written to his wife that he is so tired mentally and physically that but for two reasons he would welcome death by the rope, now set for October 15. In the nine-page letter to Mrs. Scott, given to newspaper reporters for publication before being mailed, Scott set down one of his reasons for lack of entire readiness to die as in- nocence of the slaying, and the other as reluctance to leave Mrs. Scott and their children. Scott thrice has been sentenced to death, defeating the gallows once. when he was permitted to withdraw & plea of guilty, and plead not guilty, and again when a jury found him in- sane. He recently was found sane by another jury. “It is like a swimmer in the middle of the ocean, so tired that every ef- fort and movement is increasingly harder, who at last gives up to the irresistable impulse to seek peace and rest by Jjust sinking,” wrote FLAT TIRE?
