Z‘ lAW LEAGUE SEEN " ASNEW “RACKET” Federal Attorney Claims Chi-| gago Organization Punished | Persons Refusing to Join. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, November 8 (#).—The | Government believed today it had un- | covered a new racket under the name | of the South Side Business Men's Law and Order League. Among members arrested by prohibition officers yester- day were Willlam Payne, organizer, and Mrs. Lena Wichrowski, 60-year-old widow listed as president. Daniel Anderson, assistant United Btates attorney, said the league's pur- pose apparently was three-edged: It gerved to punish those it opposed, it re- warded “customers,” and it collected } money for law and order, “using u\e‘[ onny for the “overthrow of law and. order.’ Anderson said the Government was ) dnformed that the league sold alcohol and provided a degree of protection to its customers. To saloonkeepers -who refused to buy alcohol from it, the Jeague is alleged to have retorted with raids. An office was maintained at which subscriptions were received from | persons interested in prohibition law | enforcement. Payne, known as a professional re- former, called the arrest a frame-up. “I've been fighting liquor and vice for 10 years,” he said. Mrs, Wichrowski was surprised at the charges and Federal men were con- vinced she was made president as a blind. She said she believed the league ‘was all that its name implied, and told of having written many letters herself msking funds for the league's work. DEMOCRATIC VICTORY NEXT YEAR FORECAST Representative Byrns of Tennessee Says G. 0.'P. May Lose Con- trol of Both Houses. The prediction that the Democrats would recover House seats in North Carolina, Missouri and other Southern and border States in next year's elec- tion is made by Representative Byrns of Tennessece, chairman of the Demo- cratic congressional campaign commit- tee. In a statement made public by the Democratic national committee, Byrns said that “the results in Virginia and Kenfucky leave no doubt that both States are normally Democratic by sub- stantial majorities and make certain the yecapture by the Democrats next No- vember of the congressional districts in those State that we lost to the Re- publicans a year ago. “Ren?mre of normally Democratic congressional districts in Southern and ‘border 'States would bring our House membership up to approximately 200, s0 that only 18 or 20 districts would have to be gained in other* sections of the country to give us control of the Lower House.” Byrns saw in the results gf Tuesday’s el:ctions a drift which if continued might result in an overturn next No- vember “givi the Democratic party control of both the House and the Benate.” FERRAND WILL RETIRE AS FARM BOARD COUNSEL ‘Will Be Succeeded on December 15 by Stanley Reed of Mays- ville, Ky.

NEW PROCESS DESIGNED TO MAKE STAMPS STICK | Product Is Allowed to Beconmie Thoroughly Dry Before Gum Is Applied. In an effort to improve the adhesive- ness of stamps a slightly different proc- ess has been employed in their manu- facture, and some of the new stamps | aré now on sale in this city. Formerly the paper was slightly dampened, and then the stamp was| printed and gummed in the same proc- ess through one machine. Now the bureau is printing one day, allowing the stamp to become thoroughly dry. and then applying the gum later. This is believed to leave more gum on the surface of the stamp. No change has been made in the ingredients going into the stamp, Carries Cane for Dear 01d Rutgers. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., November 8 (#)—John M.
