Iniehsamg rtthe question, of federal
*iq 'ci* Chicago so that it can get rid
of, gaageter government,, the New
York Herald-Tribune says: j
“One may like to think that- our
cities should be ahle to handle their
owji crime problems wihtout recourse
to,aid from Washington, but, since
their local autonomy was removed
with the passage of the Volstead Act,,
It js only just that the power which
removed it should be called upon to
help meet the consequences.
“Inevitably, however, the situation
assumes an ironical aspect because
national prohibition, as we know it,
is : essentially hypocritical. Coinci
dentally with its drive to rid Chicago
of,beer and ‘alky’ runners, one learns
thqt the federal government, as the
result or a handsome lieanhythe fed.
erql farm board to: the Caifornia
grape industry,. ia interested^ in* the
distribution there of-grape juice con
ceetrates,. whichv. are easiy/ quickly
and conveniently*, transformed into
hope-made wise. In fact,'it seems
indirectly te have been poaching on
A l CapsneV liquor preserves, caus
ing the ‘Big Shot' to threaten the
concentrate distributors and, in ef
fect, to start a grape feud with, the
fBffiffifllffifllffiffifhffiff :c:ff rafw fw ww
Department of Justiee.
“Meanwhile, two, at least; of* our
raqre prominent dry protagonists
hayc ranged themselves on opposite
sicfes in the conflict. Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebfandt, as attorney for
thq California grape growers, is en
thusiastically supporting the cause
ef ,wine and Uncle Sam. Dr. Clarence
Trqq Wilson has aligned hiraaeif with
r
Capone. That ia to say, he has issued]
a diatribe against Mrs. Willebraarit'
personally and certain officials, of'the
recently organized prohibition, bitareau.
based on their tenderness fo*> - the
concentrate trade.
“It is all, a bit confustagand, »o(t
exactly edifying. Butt possibly the
federal government is ropers ting - in
this instance on thfe principle that it
takes a racketeer to catfh jacK
eteer.” I

RECOUP SHER FORTUNE
CHICAGO-t^-The^wsridow ,of J. ,Og
den Armour. had pillions again to* .
day.. The(iaifct> pf Jhe millionaire
packer in the. Pubfes “oil cracking!*
process,. owned, by. the Universal Oil
Products. Company, enabled Mrs. Lo
fi ta §he|don Armour, to salvage $8,
*10.068 .from. the wreck of her hus
band’s estate. , j
The Universal crmpiuiy was sold
at a .midnight conference last .night
to the Shell Union,and Standard Oil
of California, -and Armour’s widow
received more than a third of the
purchaae price gf $22,343,999. Ar-,
mour’s name was .linked with the
proem* invented by Jesse A. Dubbs
in 1914 when he . became convinced
that it was more than a dream, put
up about $3,000,000 and helped or-;
gani.zp the Universal company.
There were not many who shared
his. high hopes for the process, and
when the.estate pf the former mhlti
millionajre was settled, (he Universal
shares were passed over by the bank
ers representing the , creditors as
Worthless. A year^go the Armour,
estate was closed,in probate court,
showing an insolvency of $1,8(15,000
in contrast with his reputed .one-time (
wealth of $150,OQQ,Q0O- ,
Since her husband’s deatly.Mrs,. Ar
Jurt h sbaeen living, in 4 email 9he?-f
tuan road apartment—reminiscing of
the wealth that was pnee theirs. j
The end of the.Jjfaxld war .trimmed'
the Armour fortune to insolvency.!
The Armour company lost a million.
dollars a-day for 100 day* from the.
stoppage of meat contracts by for- j
eign nations. Armour personally, lost
millions in sugar aad currency specu
lations. The widow sacrificed her
rights for creditors. ..
Now she is wealthy., again—but.,
will stili li,ve jn he£. %mall apartment,
among her .
Others who profited in the transne-1
tion completed last night were Car-.,

WOLVES ARE NUMEROUS *
IN ■MCIN1TY OF FAIRBANKS
(Fairbanks New6»Miher.>.
Wbhw». so thick lth*t, they. htnre
made for tbnmaelves well-defined,
hard trails, so hungry thjtt they con
stantly harass moose, audsa hold
that they approach the habitations
of human beings in.,efforts to kill
their dogs, are reported ..on .Washing
ton creek, a short distance , from
Olnes and the surrounding country
by Pat O’Connor and Frank jO’Far
rell. They returned to town yester- j
day from the creek, where they are
interested in prospecting operations,
and told pf their experience with
predators,
A couple of nights .ago s dog out
side their cabin started to growl and
Mr. O’Farrell and Sylyes.ter .Howell
ran out to. investigate, Mr, O’Fgrtell
taking a rifle, with him. ,.
Not, more than 125 feejt away a
wolf stood and there ware several
others pot much farther away. Mr.
O’Farrell fired but missed in the.
darkness. The pext morning they dis
covered that the wolves had. , been
within ten feet of.-, the cabin.
The fact that caribou^srje^scarge is
given as the reason for their excep
tional boldness. TThe . moose . are
being chased so much by wolf packs
that it is said they have little time to .
stop and eat.
, Mr. Piper, living near Olnpss, .told
Mr. O’Farrell and . Mr, 0’.Connor that
he had.had an. experience similar to
theirs. The .barking, of , his dogs
aronsgji hipi and he.went put to. see
several.wolves .near,, hi? cabin. They
ran when he fired at them.
Everyone, in .fchAt. Bastion,,; it; is said, \
is in. favor of havjng,a large bounty
pbicpl on wulves.. They: are so wily
it is almost:impossible to trap them,
andlipnljr bx, making jt worth a man's
while to .go out and shoot them and
raid thgir dens in the spring can the
