Sergeants Michael Flynn and Pat- rick McAvay and Patrolman Edward Kiley made the arrests Saturday night at the corner of North and Willow streets, after they had received infor- mation that 60 gallons ©of alcohol had been concealed in hen crates carried on the trucks. They located that amount of pure grain alcohol at the home of John Barufi of Willow street, where it had been left. In police court this morning, the {two men accused entered pleas of not | guilty. Federal Officers to Prosecute. Prosecutor Woods nolled the cases of John Brychiel of Sheffield street, and John Mosko of Church street, both of whom were in court Saturday morning, and turned them over to federal authorities for arraignment on charges of manufacturing liquor.

Twenty. eight of the prisoners were taken in this city, BSeveral are alleged to have been leading organizers of the Irish Republican army, Sensation In England London, March 42 (By the Asso- clated Press)—The swift and silent in Great Britain has created something of a sensation here and developments are awaited with much curiosity. Judging from the customary retic. ence of the Free State it seems un- likely that much information will be glven out now that the prisoners are safely landed in Irish jails. The statement which is expected in the British house of commons today will perhaps fill the gaps in the story. Official announcement both here and in Ireland put the total number of prisoners at 98 but some of the press reports suggests a large num- ber, One of the features of the roundup was its widespread character. London, Glasgow and Liverpool, all of which have large Irish communi- ties, were the main centers of the raids but places very far from those cities furnished their quota of cap- tives. Prisoners were taken in towns on the east coast of England and Scotland as far north as Aberdeen. Mahoney Arrested “ Sean Mahoney a member of the Dail is said to be among the prison- ers. It is stated that the arrests in Eng- land were made under order signed by Home Secretary Bridgman. This order, issued under date of March 7 cited the defense of the Realm act and the restoration of order in Ire- land during and after the war. The arrests in Scotland were apparently made under the authority of an or- der signed by the secretary for Scot- land charging the suspects with “act. ing or being about to act in a maf- ner prejudicial to the restoration of law and ordér in Ireland.” PROHIBITION IN GERMANY Reichstag is Urged to Dispose of This Question and is Flooded With Peti- tion Signed by 460,000 People. Berlin, March 12.—(By Associated Press)—A move to dispose of the prohibition question in Germany by local option is being urged upon the Reichstag. A petition to this end, signed by 460,000 electors has been submitted to the parliamentary body by Dr. O. ¥\ Melle, president of the Methodist theological seminary at Frankfort-on- Main. ¢ Dr. Melle walked in on the presi- dent of the Reichstag, Paul Poebe, with a whole trunkful of signatures gathered in 200 German cities and towns from people favoring local op- tion. Piling about the Reichstag chief 46 volumes, each containing 10,000 sig- natures, Dr. Melle explained that this was merely the result of one week's work, and that it would be only a question of time for the enlistment of millions of other signers. PREMIERS I@TJESION Poincare and Theunis, With Their Associates, Hold Confercnces Today in Brussels. Brussels, March 12.—(By Associat- ed Press)—The premiers of France and Belgium met here today in what has been heralded as a conference of the greatest importance on the Ruhr occupation with a view to the prepa- ration of a plan of procedure when Germany moves for a settlement, as the Franco-Belgian allies expect her to do in the reasonably near future.

Alfairs RO Palm Beach, Fla, March 12.—A the houseboat Pioneer, carrying Pre: fdent and Mrs. Harding and their va- cation companions, steamed slowly southward today, indications increas- ed that the stay of the chief executive in southern Florida would not be all play and no work. Although the president has been devoting himself mostly to rest and recreation since he left Washington a week ago today definite periods each day have been set aside to attend to official business. Telegraphic cor- respondence has been maintained with the White House and at each important stop such as that made here Saturday and yesterday much official mail has been sent aboard the houseboat. On arriving at Miami proba v to- morrow the president will be joined two members of his cabinet, Attorney Gen. Daugherty and Secretary Davis. The former although still unable to| resume full charge of the affairs of his department owing to weakened condition resulting from his recent ill- ness is understood to have given some attention within the past week to the more urgent matters, including. the war frauds inquiries. It is considered probable that Mr. Daugherty will have several matters to take up with his chief. Intimations have come from the Pioneer as the party has cruised southward, that announcement of the administration merchant marine poli- cy might be made while the president is in Miami. Chairman Lasker of the shipping board is a member of the vacation party and announced on ar- rival at Ormond last Tuesday that he soon expected to discuss with the president ways and means of meeting the problem created by the defeat of the administration shipping bill. ENGLAND'S ARMY BILL London, March 12.—The army es- timates which will be up for discus- sion this week in the house of com- mons are expected to show a saving of 10,000,000 pounds. The general view is that the income tax and the beer duty will take precedence in any rellef from the present burden of tax- ation.

AIRGRAFT SERVICE IN'BAD CONDITION Situation Really Alarming, Ac- cording to Wainwright's Report Washington, March 12.—The situa- tion in the army air service is most critical, with its war surplus of equip- ment rapidly disappearing and the aeronautical authority fac- ing extinetion, Representative-elect J. Mayhew Wainwright, republican, New York, former assistant secretary of war, declares in a partial report to Secretary Weeks on turning over his office to his successor, Dwight F. Davis. Under the national defense act the assistant secretary is charged with responsibility for planning mob- ilization of the nation for war. The outstanding conclusion of Mr. Wainwright's two year study of the industrial situation a recommend- ation for a continuing aircraft appro- priation over five years at $25,000,000 la ¥y , $15,000,000 to be for procure- {ment of ‘reserve planes and $10,000,- 000 annually for current eperations. war-time the air service, Mr. Wainwright said: “What there is left of it is rapidly disappearing, due to deterioration and to the inevitable losses while in actual use. Its war time manufactured equipment has heen practically used up. The amounts of money appro- priated for new aft are so small that within two years it will have on hand less than one-half the number of aireraft nece: for its normal peace time work. There will be no aircraft to equip and expand the air service in time of emergency, no re- serve on hand and it will be impossi- ble in less than a year to expand the remnant of the r craft which may be left to create it “The situation is not only serious, but is actually alarming."” Referring to the present situation of | Any kind of wood kept perfectly dry, will not rot.
