ALCOHOL RACKET HITS LOW LEVE Big Syndicates Broken, Small-Time Operators Plague Officials. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, November 18.—Tllicit | alcohol rackets, reborn since prohibi- | tion days, are nourished by “the little | business men.” E. C. Yellowley, alco- hol tax administrator, said today, rather than by the “big syndicates” of a short time ago. That the alky cooking business had been revived was impressed upon Chi- eagoans when, within 24 hours last | Thursday and Friday, three hoodlums were killed with pistols and shotguns. All were small-fry gangsters with | eecords of minor crimes. The “big business” alcohol distiller with equipment costing tens of thou- sands of dollars has been supplanted by a repeal variety, moving from place to place with a small and mo- bile still. Of an estimated 2.000 alcohol plants confiscated since repeal in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. the average had a capacity, Yellowley said, of 300 to 400 gallons a day a year ago. Those uncovered recently have averaged less than 100 gallons. “The ‘big fellows’ are gone because they can't afford to risk large invest- | ments,” Yellowley said. “The small operator is hard to find, sometimes his still is small enough to hide a eloset, but we get him eventual BY NINA CARTER TABB. | COLD, drizzily rain was falling | A meeting on Saturday, but that | did not keep the thousands of been arriving for days to attend this event, so & rain, no matter how pene- them from the Glenwood course.

Hitt and Mrs. Thomas Davis that night. From this event the rain kept no one away. A large platform, inclosed, | lighted and heated, had been erected | off the living room of the house, which gave ample room for the hundreds of dancers from New York, Baltimore, Washington and all over Virginia. A supper was served at midnight, and this delightful race ball continued until almost daylight.

Among those at Mrs. Sloan’s were Mrs. Harold Talbott, Mrs. Cam- eron Clark, Mrs. Frank Gould, Mrs. Amory Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Gaines Gwathmey, Mr. and Mrs. William C. Langley, Mr. and Mrs. James Van Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur White, Mr. and Mrs. George Howe, Mr. and Mrs. Chauncy Parker, Mrs. Philip Benkard, Mr. Doughlas Page, Mr. E.obert Jennings and Mr. Taylor Har- in. The guests sat at small tables in practically all of the downstairs rooms, including one bed room. Mrs. Sloan also gave an amusing dinner party on | Friday night for a number of people. All of this gay throng of neighbor- hood people and their guests will fox hunt with the different packs today | and Tuesday and be all ready for/ the second day of the Middleburg race meeting on Wednesday. Post | time for the first race is 2 p.m. Piedmont Hounds met at Five Points Friday morning at 10 o'clock, one of the best meets in the country. It was | a damp, coolish day, with lush going and all seemed conducive to good scent. About 70 persons were out, they drew Hubert Phipps' big field and a fox was started almost immediately and ran fast and straight away north- ward. It was killed within 2 miles on the Phipps place. Ten minutes later another was started which ran straight away southward nearly to Rector- town, where it turned and went back, crossing the sand-and-clay road onto the Edgar Woolf place, where after circling he was lost. This was a long run and very fast over lovely open country and beautiful turf the entire way. Some of the fences were high enough to write home about. Every- body had a thoroughly enjoyable time. It was all over by 12 o'clock owing to the fast pace, which tired both horses and hounds. Hunting Log, Tomorrow’s Meets. Virginia. Loudoun Hunt Club—Miss Nancy Rust, William H.
