THOUSANDS FOUND
MAKING WINE, DRYS
ACT TO CHECK FLOW
Washington, N'ov. 23.—Prohibi-
tion enforcement officials have un-
covered an old-fashioned spigot from
which a large supply of wine has
6een leaking annually into illicit
trade, and they are shaping a plug
to stop it.
Several hundred thousand permits,
issued by revenue collectors before
prohibition became effective and for-
gotten by many officials, they found,
Have given the apparent authority of
the Government for production of
200 gallons of wine annually by
each holder.
The house ('loaning prohibition
forces have exposed these, permits,
and Assistant Secretary. Andrews,
the treasury's prohibition field mar-
shall, has drawn up a regulation rc-
coking all of them. It will be pro-
mulgated within 48 hours.
Andrews also is moving to stop the
leak of sacramental wine into non-
saeramental channels. He plans to
dry up these little rivulets through
an agreement he Has reached with
Jewish leaders, whose churches are
the largest legitimate users of sacra-
mental wine. New regulations under
'which sacramental wine may be ob-
tained are expected this week, per-
mitting withdrawal, probably, of
only about 2 or 3 per cent of the
amount heretofore taken out, for al-
leged religious use.

SQUIRRELS EMIGRATING
The papers say the Mississippi
river between Wisconsin and Iowa
is full of squirrels these days. In
Wisconsin the crop is a failure and
the mar* crop is short; in Iowa the
corn crop is much better and nuts
are more numerous; so the squirrels
are leaving Wisconsin in droves and
going to Iiwa. All along the river,
hunters and fishermen daily report
seeing colonies of the little bushy-
tailed fellows swimming the river,
and invariably, when seen, they arc
headed aWay from Wisconsin and
toward Iowa. The migration has
been going on for six weeks. Late-
ly, however, the squirrels seem to be
moving in greater numbers.
One duck hunter saw a group of
them in mid-channel, apparently
near drowning from exhaustion. He
stopped his launch and pidked sev-
eral out of the river. Iowa com-
mercial fishermen who have their
homes on the river banks see the
squirrels as they swim to shore und
tell how tired many of them seem.
Not ail of them are equal to the
swim, particularly on windy days,
when the water is roU’gh, for many
dead ones are washed up on the
Iowa shore, and can be seen lying on
the rocks along the river.
This is not the first case of squir-
rel migration jn history. Old-timers
who lived in Tennessee and Mis-
souri tell us that about forty years
ago all the squijrrcls left Tennessee
and swam the Mississippi river to
Missouri, on account of the drouth
that prevailed in Tennessee. They
tell us that one could go to the
river and kill all the squirrels want-
ed with siteks. One resident of
Honey Grove avers that he has seen
squirrels mount chips and ride across
the river, the squirrel's tail serving
as a sail for the little craft.
Gilmer, Texas, Nov. 23.—At
called meeting of the East Texas
Baseball League Sunday at Gilmer
a six-elub league was organized, in-
cluding Paris, Longview, Tyler,
Texarkana, Greenville and Mar-
shall. T. H. Fisher of Paris was
elected president and Ike Hoch-
wald of Marshall vice president.
A joint meeting of the East
Texas League and the Texas As-
sociation was called to meet at
Tyler the second Sunday in De-
cember.
T. L. Denman of Mount Pleas-
ant is to confer with Corsicana and.
Palestine on the possibilities of
forming an eight-club league.'
A good representative from all
the towns in the league was pres
ent at the meeting.
To say that Attorney tiepcral
Moody won his suit against the
American Road Company would not
duly suggest the magnitude of
his victory. The vernacular is
sometimes more adequate than the
formal language of the dictionary.
And so there is excuse for saying
that not only did he win his suit,
but that he mopped up with it. And
the virtue of the performance is
heightened by the great celerity
of it.
The confessed judgment yields
all that he prayed for, save that
it does not include the appointment
of u receiver for the American Road
Company. But that additional re-
lief there was no need of, mani-
festly. The confessed judgment
effects an annulment of the extor-
tionate contracts, the thing of most
importance. It effects a cancella-
tion of the company’s permit to do
business in the State. And it effects
a recovery of $600,000. Of this
recovery, $314,000 is to be in the
quitclaim of an approved and un-
paid estimate of work done by the
American Road Company and by
the payment of $286,000 in cash, a
contribution to the Highway Com-
mission’s exchequer that it seems to
he urgently in need of. A more
complete accomplishment of^his pur-
pose in filing the suit could not have
been reasonably desired. Nor does
this inventory fully appraise the
value of Mr. Moody’s victory. For
is evident that it greatly increases
the likelihood of his winning other
similar suits that he has instituted,
and so of recovering additional
amounts of highway funds that
have been improvidently outlayed.
It was a difficult and, one may read-
ily imagine, a disagreeable duty
which Mr. Moody undertook when
he challenged the contracts of the
American Rond Company, and he
has discharged it in a manner which
has earned the applause and grati-
tude of the people of Texas. He
has shown a courage and acumen
worthy of the high office he holds.
It is to be assumed that he has
accomplished the further result of
compelling a complete reorganiza-
tion of the Highway Commission.
It is not to be supposed that Gov-
ernor Ferguson will wish to retain
the present commissioners in

[DRY WAR RENEWED
AND WET OFFICIALS
BRANDED TRAITORS
Waxahachio, Nov. 23.—The Cen-
tral Texas Methodist conference in
its last business session Saturday
took action similar to that taken at
other conferences of the church by
condemning the pardoning record of
the Ferguson administration and de
daring renewed opposition to the
liquor traffic.
Judge T. F. Temple of Weather-
fopl submitted the report of the
board of temperance and social
service which wa's unanimously ap-
proved.
The temperance report stated
that “for 100 years Methodism has
been the uncompromising foe of the
liquor traffic, and so far as we arc
concerned there will he not let up in
this fight until the outlawed traf-
fic makes an unconditional surren-
der to the mandates of out Govern-
ment.
The report denounced “as unwor-
thy of membership in our church
those citizens who by patronizing the
bootleggers not only debauch them-
selves, but are also contributing to
the war chest of outlawed criminals
of the worst sort in their war on the
Constitution.

fairs who fail to enforce the prohi-
bition law were declared to be

offices they hold. Nor, indeed, is
it to be supposed that any of those
gentlemen will wish to retain their
places in the face of circumstances
which, it must be plain to them,
have impaired the confidence of the
people in their competence. Their
resignations have become .desirable,
and if it is supposed, as it should
be in deference to those gentlemen,
that they will be forthcoming, that
result must be added as an impor-
tant item in Attorney General
Moody’s splendid victory. The need
to reorganize the machinery of the
State Highway Corrynission has been
made plain, and not less plainly has
the need to reorganize the policies
of that body been shown also. This

lieved he would find only a super-
ficial resemblance, but found the
man who had committed suicide
Nov. 7 under the name of Edgar
Russell, was almost his exact coun-
terpart, even to a shortened left
leg.
“It almost floored me. If I had
owned a quart I’d down it on the
spot,” Russell said in relating the
experience.
