Lansing, Mich, Sept. 13-—"We could not enforce the prohibition law in Michigan if we had the United States ariny,” Colonel Rey C. Vander. | cook, commissioner of the depart. ment of public safety and commander of the state police, declared today “So long the people maintain their present attitude toward prohibition the law is not enforceable.” ““A man cannot speak with eomplete understanding of this liquor situation from the office or pulpit,” said Col- onel Vandercook, “He must ride the ronds 24 hours a day in all kinds of | weather, eat and sleep along the)| river fronts, push on Into shacks and holes, when he does not know from one second to the next where a shot will come from, or careen along the roads at night op a chase wi the | motors roaring and guns Wrking. | Then he can begin to understand. “1 mention these things only to prove that we in this department know something of what we are talk- ing about. We have tried hard to enforce this law and are still trying and will continue, but with little suc- cess. “The trouble is that people do not want the prohibition law enforced and will not support officers who do their best to enforce it. “If an officer enforces the law he earns only unpopularity. There seems to be few men who do not buy liquor from bootleggers or desire the privi- lege of buying it if they happen to| want it.

J. Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. 13.—Firing of a Civil war cannon in Lafayette park at Waterloo yesterday to free the piece of three eight-pound balls that had been lodged in it, damaged two Waterloo vesidences, the Water®| loo hotel, and clipped several Mrge limbs from intervening trees. School children and citizens on their way | home for luncheon escaped injury on- ly because the cannon was aimed above street level. For many months the cannon had been stuffed to its mouth with balls| by mischievous boys and the park | commissioners have made several at- tempts to dislodge them. All were | removed but three and today Charles Cenung offered to do the job. | Pouring two ounces of powder into | the hold, and using a fire cracker fuse, Mr. Genung touched off the piece Ordinarily the amount of powder used would have been only sufficient to dis- lodge the balls, but evidently gsome powder remained in the gun from previous firing and the explosion was powerful snough to send the three | balls soaring over the {rées. One ball plowed Into the west side of the Genung home, cut through one of the upper rooms and lodged in a front wall. Aneother ball clipped sev. eral large limbs from ftrees in its path and ricocheted landing in the | yard of Charles Terwilliger. The third ball traveled nearly 5,000 feet and crashed through the second story of the Waterloo hotel.

When the Plainville fire department arrived at the fire, it was necessary to send two of the mem- bers, William Dunham and A, [, down to the town to stir them up. They met the truck near the center of Southington and three men were on the seats. Praise was heard today from all sides for the efficient manner in which Fire Chief Noble handled the situation. Arriving in the midst of & conflagration with all forces disor- ganized, he quickly organized the men, ably assisted by Chief E.
