American Bootleggers
Only, Decree of House
Washington.—The bootlegging in
dustry is to be completely American
ized. Alien hootch venders must get
n aturalization papers or quit business.
The proud privilege of selling liquor
illegally will be reserved exclusively
for 100 per cent Americans.
By a vote of 222 to?7!i the House Mon
day passed the bill for the deportation
of aliens who violate the prohibition
and narcotic laws. The bill was put
through after some lively debate in
which a few of the less fanatical “drys”
joined with the "wets” in an effort to
make the House realize what a ridicu
lous action it was taking.
The measure bore the Anti-Saloon
League’s approval^ however, and its
passage was therefore a foregone con
elusion.
Representative Hill, Maryland, re
publican, facetiously charged that the
measure was designed to create a mo
nopoly for American bootleggers.
“This bill,” he said, “is to make the
United States safe for American boot
leggers. For the first time we have
the bootleggers' union fighting under
the banner of the Anti-Saloon League.”
“T don’t care whether a bootlegger
is an American ore foreigner—I want
to get rid of both,” shouted Repre
sentative Cramton, Michigan, repub
lican.
Representative Stafford, Wisconsin,
republican, made numerous ineffectual
attempts to modify the bill. All his
amendments were voted down. He
• characterized the measure as a “legis
lative monstrosity.”
“This is a rather frank effort,” said
. Representative Walsh, Massachusetts,
republican, “to reserve: space in the
I jails for the American violators. We
might expect such legislation in Kan
sas, where they fix the length of the
bed sheets by law, or in Texas, where
the senior senator was sailed upon to
write a letter that unless the State puts
a certain organization-out of business
it will destroy the State.
“Wayne Wheeler, in- the man who
made bootlegging possible. He is not
the enemy of the bootlegger; he has
made it possible for the bootleggers to
ply their trade.”

Suicide Notes Sensa
tions as Death Nears
New York.—After “38 years of fail
ure” Eugene K. Martin turned on the
gas in his bedroom at 522 Third ave
nue, at 11 o’clock last night, adjusted
the receiver of a radio telephone to his
ears, and noted down the sensations of
his suicide on a pad of paper in front of
him.
His body was found Tuesday lyii
beside the table. His wife, Alice, s
not in the city.
The notes began in a clear hand.
“Listening to wireless while under
going process of destruction,” they
began. “It is midnight, but I am stiii
on my feet, though starting to get
dizzy.
“One o’clock. I am weaker.”
The next note was fainter and tin
timed. It read: “Goodby, Alice, and
God bless you. I love you.”
There was an undecipherable scrawl
further down the page.
In a note apparently written before
he turned on the gas, Martin said:
“I am the result of 38 years of one
failure after another. I am tired, so
tired. There seems to be a thought of
cowardice connected with a deed of
this kind, but that is a mistake. I am
not a coward. 1 have given life a fair
trial, but failed to find interest therein.
So why should l be a burden to myself
and others'”’

Crabshaw—The next generation will
probably see descendants of smugglers
turn up their noses at newer Ifamilies

ness —New York Sun.
