PROHIBITIONISTS LAUNCH
ATTACK ON HEAD OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION
WASHINGTON.—The prohibition
.enforcement suggestions advanced byj
George. Wick-creham, ,chairinair> of the
Hoove law enforcement commission,
in a.-, letter to Governor • Franklin D.
Roosevelt of. New York, .aroused the
vigorous objections of one. section of
the dry group, which says Wicker-,
i sham has sacrificed his usefulness by.
j suggesting that the responsibility of
('prohibition enforcement be divided. •
between the state and federal, gov
ernment.'.
Senator Oat a way.,, of Arkansas,
Democrat,, said he “hepes -he resigns.”
Caraway, long a prominent advocate
and defender of prohibition, nolds the
letter brands the dry law as unen
forceable, gives encouragement-to the
crime world and is the “utmost blow
prohibition has suffered.’’- ’
The Senator declared that “Unless
Hoover acquiesces in the letter,” he
expected Wicker sham to resign soon.j
“The usefulness of the- commission
already is. destroyed if Wickersham
continues at-its Hoad " Caraway Said.
“Nobody belidves. it V, ill be a capable
and impartial survey of tire prohibi
tion question.”

SOUTH AMERICAN GIVES
HEENEY A SEVERE BEATING
BROOKLYN. — Victorio Campolo,
the Argentine giant, weighing 223
pounds, battered his way into the i
heavyweight picture last night at the;
expense of Tom Heeney.
Compono was. awarded the fight on
a technical knockout in the ninth
round o* a scheduled ten-round go
when. Heeney, after taking a hard
drubuing, staggered into the arms of
Referee Tom Crowley.
AI ASK A COLLEGE IMPRESSIVE.
Col. Stewart, formerly head of the
Standard Oii Company of Indiana,
passed through Ketchikan a few days
ago. He made a round trip to In-1
terior Alaska. Man of might that he
has been and is, brainy executive who
after, being thrown out of the chair
manship of the board of the company ,
which he did so • much to build, was
voted- an annual income of $5®,000, a
judge of materials and of men, he
was.-most impressed in the Territory
by-.the Alaska Agricultural College,
and by its head. Dr. C. E. Bunnell.
He -is but one of many, important per-'
sanages who. has been so impressed. <
Under other -guidance the college, ;
would have amounted to little. Under
Dr. Bunnell it has- made rapid strides,
has interested men of power, vision
aud importance. The President of the
institution may . feel complimented
that these men are taking an interest .
in the work he is doing and planning
to dp.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
Giving the Game Away.
Assistant Attorney General Gollo
way said in a brilliant after-dinner
speech- on evidence:
“Then there 4s • the witness who
seems unable to-open his mouth with
out putting .his foot in - it.
“‘Do you understand the nature of
an oathV’ a lawyer once said to such
“‘Yas, sah. Ah swahs an oath fo’
to tell-the truth, sah.’
“ 'And do you know .what, will hap
pen if you don’t tell the truth?’
“ ‘Weil, vsah,” said the witness, ‘Ah.
expecks, our side- wouid win da case,
sah.’ ”■ '
The Shocked Husband.
Senator Moses said in Washington
during an argun.oni about a new bail:
“We.must iook at these appropria
tion -bills unsetf.shly.. Selfishness - in. .
this matter would -shock the world
like—wall, like the story. 1
“A owing husband sat at his wife’s -
side while a palmist read her palm. -
“ ‘This line here,’ the'palmist said
to her, ‘tells me that you are doomed,•
alas, to wean widow’s weeds.’
“‘Oh,-my gracious!’- she moaned,^
‘foi*. how, • long ?.’ ’* "
