_?rtan?n to "strike and be damned"
,Aere would he less trouble, wages :

?"Strike and be damned' would be

more money is one thing that is keep

From the Outset
Seen bv Officials
Enforcement Machinery In?
complete in Some States, |
They Say. but Scrutiny!
Will Prevent Violations!
Sew York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON'. Jan. 15.?While the
enforcement machinery of the Federal
government is incomplete in several
states, national prohibition officials to?
day declared that, no great difficulty !
is expected in the enforcement of the I
prohibitory amendment, which becomes j
effective to-morrow at midnight.
John F. Kremer, Prohibition Com- j
missioner, declared to-day that in most
of the states the government's organ?
ization is perfected, and where the
organizations are incomplete depen?
dence is placed on the collectors of
internal revenue to continue the en?
forcement duties now prevailing under
war-time prohibition.
Supervising agents have been ap?
pointed in the ten districts of the coun?
try, except the New York district, and
in all of these the organizations have
been perfected. Colonel Porter, who is
now in charge of the work in the New
York district, which includes the great?
er city. Long Island, Connecticut and
Rhode Island, will continue in charge
until a new super%-isor has been se?
lected, it was said to-day at Commis?
sioner Kramer's office.
The enforcement officials will keep
the liquor traffic under close scrutiny
at all times. Each state will have a
Federal prohibition director with in?
spectors under his direction. These
Wiil have charge of the legal use of
liquor and keep check on physicians,
druggists and dispensers of soft drinks.
Augmenting this force, will be the
internal revenue agents, who will seek
to control the illegal use of intoxi?
cants. Cooperation is expected between
the two enforcing agencies to the end
that the nation will be kept absolutely
bone dry.
Both Daniel T. Roper, chief of the
Internal Revenue Offices, and Prohibi?
tion Commissioner Kremer to-day ex?
pressed confidence that the provisions
of the Eighteenth Amendment would
be obeyed. Both discredited the state?
ment that there will be a continuous
run on doctors' offices for "wet" pre?
scriptions. If doctors are found to
disregard the law in issuing prescrip?
tions?a pint every ten days is the
maximum that can be prescribed to
any individual?their Federal permits
will be withdrawn.
The safety of the 60,000.000 gallons
of liquor in government bonded ware?
houses is threatened unless Congress
appropriates $2,000,000 to establish a
guard of 2.500 watchmen over this
property, Commissioner Kramer said
to-day. He presented his request tc
the House Committee on Appropria?
tions yesterday, stating that the per?
missive withdrawals after constitu?
tional prohibition become effective
would be so tew as not to pay th?
expenses of maintaining the guard.
The law provides that it is unlaw?
ful to sell liquor for beverage pur?
poses. Permission is given to indi?
viduals, however, to have intoxicant!
in their dwelling for the use of theii
families and guests.
Individuals holding intoxicatinj
liquors for nnn-beverage purpose:
must give a bond and procure a permi
before January 27, setting forth to th<
Federal government complete details o
the kind and amount of liquors held oi
January 17.
Liquors found in storage warehouse:
or places other than private dwelling:
after February 1, and no report of th?
quantity having been made to th<
government, will he considered primt
facie evidence of illepral possession.

WASHINGTON, Jan.? 15.?Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood, commanding th
Central Department of the army, wh
was deprived of overseas service b
the War Department and therefore i
not entitled to wear the mueh-dis
cussed Sam Browne belt, would hav
the army equipment regulation
amended to make tne belt a part of th
uniform, the War Department ar
nounced to-day.
General Wood, with other officer
present at the conference of genert
officers now bein<r held here discusse
changes in uniform at the session.
"I rind that in the Central Depar
ment practically all the officers war
to be authorized to wear the Sai
Browne belt." General Wood said. '
think the belt gives the officer a litt:
better dress uniform, especially if v
are going to have this (olive drab; un
form."
Later General Wood moved that tr
belt be adopted as a part of the un
form, and the unanimous vote of tl
officers present agreed to recommer
to the General Staff that the belt 1
authorized.

Many Leap to Escape
Fire That Kills 2 Men
300 Trapped in New Haven
Blaze Jump Into Nets or
FigbJ Way to Street
Special Correspondence
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 15.?
Trapped by an explosion and fire which
barred every avenue of escape 300 ten?
ants of the Chamber of Commerce of?
fice building here this afternoon fought j
for their lives and escaped only by j
leaping two or three stories into fire ?
nets, descending fire ladders or crowd?
ing down a single fire escape to the
ground. Two persons were killed and
fifty partially suffocated by the smoke
that penetrated thickly into their
offices.
The dead are State Senator Charles
W. Everts, health officer for New
Haven County, and Nicholas Everli,
the engineer in charge of the building.
Everts was overcome by smoke and
was taken unconscious in an ambulance
to Grace Hospital. He died on the
way. Senator Everts wa3 a Yale grad?
uate and considered a brilliant lawyer.
His home was in Milford, and he leaves
a ?amily. Everli was a victim of the
explosion which caused the fire. The
boiler burst because of lack of water.
Everli, it is believed, had discovered
this condition and was endeavoring to
remedy it when the explosion occurred.
Twenty-five young women were
taken from the building unconscious
from fright or smoke, but all were
revived after being taken to their
homes. Mrs. James Thompson, of
Blohm Street, West Haven, was taken
to St. Raphael's Hospital. She recov?

Inventor Exhibits
Helicopter in Flight
Test of Model With Revolving
Wings Is Witnessed by Fly
ing Club Committee
A demonstration flight of a model heli- !
copter was made before representatives j
of the American Flying Club contest]
committee in the laboratory of Will-1
iam J. Beach, 125 East Twenty-third
Street, yesterday.
The model is a departure from all
proposed types of helicopters and has i
been placed before the War Depart-1
ment by the inventor, who was born
in Australia. In yesterday's demon- j
stration, the model was equipped with
small motors driven by compressed
air, which caused it to rise vertically
about two feet.
Mr. Beach said he hopes to build a
full-sized machine shortly capable of!
lifting a man and flying at will in the (
air, in order to compete for the $100,- i
000 prizes offered by M. Michelin, the |
French aviation enthusiast, for the
first successful flight with a helicopter, j
The machine invented by Mr. Beach
has two revolving wings. These lift
the machine directly into the air and
support it. It is in the application of ?
th? power to turn these wings that the
patent lies.
Cole J. Younger, vice-chairman of the j
American Flying Club contest com- j
mittee, who witnessed the demonstra- i
tion, said the model showed very prom- !
ising results, and if it could be de-!
veloped to fly horizontally while sup-1
ported by the revolving wings, might ?
have an important bearing on the fu- ;
ture development of aviation.

Tabor Accuses Mother
In Death of Daughter
She Chloroformed Mrs. Virgo
and He Hid Body, Police Say
Statement Declares
KALAMZOO, Mich., Jan. 15.?Walter ;
Tabor, brother of Maude Tabor Virgo, j
whose body was found buried in the !
cellar of the Tabor homestead at Law- '
ton last November, was arrested to- ?
night after he had given a deputy j
sheriff a signed statement implicating I
his mother, Mrs. Sarah Tabor, in the
death of her daughter. Van Buren
County authorities announced. He is |
being held as a witness.
According to the, officers. Tabor's j
statement declared his mother, now '?
eighty years old, chloroformed Mrs. j
Virgo, and that he had removed the body
to the cellar, where it was placed in
the woman's "hope chest" and covered
with lumber. The motive, Tabor was
quoted as saying, was his mother's de?
sire to prevent division of the daughter's
property with Joseph C. Virgo's child.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.-Harry New1

participated in "John Barleycorn's
Funeral Ball," which gained "press
agented" fame because William g. [
Anderson, state superintendent of the j
Anti-Saloon League, didn't go. Invita?
tions to this $5-a-cover affair were
edged with mourning borders, and in?
vited attendance in connection with
the "last rites and ceremonies attend?
ing the departure of our spirited
friend." The souvenirs for the women
mourners were small vanity cases in
the form of coffins.
Guests Must Bring Their Own"
At the Bowman hotels, the Commo?
dore, Biltmore, Vanderbilt, Manhattan,
Ansonia, Belmont and Murray Hill,
there will be celebrations to-night.
There wont be any special dinner, but
many thousands of reservations have
been made. It was said yesterday that
the diners would be permitted to bring
their own liquor and that the manage- !
ment had been unable to figure out any
scheme to prevent their patrons from
continuing to drink after midnight.
Similar conditions are true of the
du Pont hotels, which include the Wal?
dorf-Astoria, the McAlpin and 'the
Claridge. New Year's Evfe these hotels
gave away a pint of champagne to
each pair of diners, but it was said
yesterday that this would not be re?
peated. The alcoholic store was ex?
hausted New Year's, it was said. The
guests will have to bring their own,
and with dawn Saturday the menus I
will bear a printed request that pa?
trons obey the law and refrain from?
introducing alcoholic beverages into
the dining-rooms.
At Maxim's there will bt. another of
those "original" affairs, a funeral for
John Barleycorn. Waiters ana bartend?
ers, the announcements said, would
be dressed as pall-bearers. This party
does not start until half an hour be?
fore midnight, which gives just thirty
one minutes for a strictly legal cele?
bration.
The Hotel Majestic was one of the
places which started its wind-up cele?
bration last night. It was a dinner
dance that began at 6 o'clock and last?
ed for a full round of the clock. There
was a special check-room where those
carrying bundles of liquor could leave
them with trustworthy and teetotaler
attendants.
Climax of Funeral Ball
The climax of the funeral ball came !
when six waiters, garbed as pall
bearerB, entered with a real casket.
Jack Davis, impersonating "the public,"
stalked 'behind as chief mourner, 200
waiters trailing behind him in slow
procession, keeping step to the strains
of the "Funeral March." Dan Healy
wore the sombre costume of the car?
toonist's "prohibitionist," but from his
hip pocket a tell-tale bottle protruded. !
Each patron of Relsenweber's was !
presented with a flask, containing what ?
looked like perfectly good whisky. |
Amusement and disappointment were j
the mixed emotions when, sampling \
it, they found the flasks to contain j
cold tea.
Increases in Rentals,
Prices and Taxes in
This City Seen by 'Wets'
New York Tribune
Washington Bureau j
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.?In a state- i
ment showing the prospective increases
in municipal taxes which are expected
to result from national prohibition, the
publicity department of the anti-prohi?
bition forces here to-day said:
"A big increase in municipal taxes
appears to be the means most gen
trally adopted by affected cities" in
meeting the budget problems produced
by national prohibition. Virtually all
that have replied to inquiries indicate j
the license taxes on other businesses I
have been or are going to be boosted, j
in some cases as much as 400 per cent, j
In a great many, substantial increase
in the general tax rate has been made
in order to make up deficits caused by
the loss of revenues produced by pro?
hibition.
"In the State of New York the total j
revenue received from liquor tax cer?
tificates, transfer fines, penalties and
volume tax for twelve months ended |
September 30, 1918, was $22,616,442.77. ?
New York City alone derived a net rev- j
enue for the five boroughs of $8.333,- I
612.72."
The statement predicts that as a re
suit of this loss New York City is in j
for increased taxes, increased rents j
and a general increase in the already i
high cost of living.
Two Grounds Left
On Which "Dry" Law
Will Be Attacked \
Hugh Fox, secretary of the United j
?States Brewers' Association, said the I
I prohibition amendment was due to be !
'? attacked on two more points before the ?
liquor interests gave up the legal fight. !
The Supreme Court, he explained, has j
! yet to pass on the question of whether j
Congress had the right to define intoxi- !
! cants, and must decide on the scope and i
; meaning of the proviso in the amend- I
i ment that "Congress and the several :
: states shall have concurrent power to ?
' pass appropriate legislation for enforce- ?
ment."
"If the Supreme Court," he added, |
: "should finally uphold the right of Con- .
'? gress to establish a definition of one
I half of 1 per cent for the purpose of i
: enforcing national prohibition and that
the states have no power in the matter,
the effect would be to put cider and many
1 .?so-called 'soft drinks' under the ban.
"Meanwhile," said Mr. Fox, "the en
i forcement measure, which is now known
; as the national prohibition act, will, if
! sustained by the courts, deprive accused
1 persons of a trial by jury and make
them prove their innocence. No physi?
cian will be able to prescribe alcohol in
\ any form without submitting to vexa
| tions regulations which will take so
! much time and trouble that a busy doc
! tor could not afford to be bothered with
j them."
Mr. Fox predicted that regulations to

PROVIDENCE, Jan. 15.?The Provi?

feat for reelection any candidates who
were instrumental in bringing about
prohibition and all new candidates for

"The amendment was put over on us
at a time when any murmur of pro?

Most of the saloons here will remain
open for the sale of such soft drinks
as the law, "such as it is," will allow,
until "the issue has been fought out to

"Be a Good Sport," Is
Advice of Anderson
William H. Anderson drove the water
wagon up to New York's door yester?
day, so as to have it ready for every?
body to climb aboard at midnight this
evening. He said there was room for
all. The Anti-Saloon League superin?
tendent endeavored to be gentle and
firm about it at the same time.
"Be a good sport about it," he said,
in an exhortatory sort of statement.
"No more falling off the water wagon!
Uncle Sam (Anderson did not hesitate j
to assume the prerogative of spokes- '
manship) will help you keep your
pledge. But he needs your help, too,
if he is to keep 100,000,000 respecting ,
the law. There may be some fellows '?
still sore about their so-called personal
liberty who hate to admit their old
iriend, John Barleycorn, has been
knocked out, but good sense and sports- |
manship will come to their rescue. We
took our medicine when we were j
whipped year after year."
Mr. Anderson closes with quotations j
from "Mr. Dooley" and Abraham Lin?
coln. ,
State Clears Roads
Of Snow for 'Wets99 \
Special Correspondence
HORNELL, N. Y., Jan. 15?Thanks j
to the humaneness of some one in the ?
State Highway Department all Western j
New York will restock its cellars with
wine to-morrow, the fateful day of the \
approach of national prohibition. Un- i
der a special permit from Daniel C.
Roper, of the Internal Revenue De?
partment, wine makers in the great
Lakes-Keuka sections were told to sell
their vintage direct to consumers.
There were 70,000 cases of champagne
in the village of Hammondsport alorte.
The news that the ban had been lifted
until the 16ch percolated through the
state, and automobiles began to come
from the distant cities.
On the heels of the order permitting
the sale came the worst snowstorm
this part of the state has known in
years. Hundreds of cars were ma
rooned and unable to get through to
Hammondsport, where the precious :
wine was to be had almost for the ask?
ing. An appeal was made to the State
Highway Department to get the roads
open. In a flash came the order. This
morning crowds of men and big trucks
went to work, and to-night the "all
clear" signal was sounded.

Mr. Mason says:
"To avoid, after the return to cor?
porate management, a protracted in?
terval of hand-to-mouth operation,
Congress must (1) extend the standard
of return until revenue has been ad?
justed to credit; (2) create a revolving
| fund for government loans sufficient
i for the roa_? to meet their obligations
: to the public in case the investment
conditions continue unfavorable; (31 j
, authorize the refunding of carriers' I
' capital debts to the government on
equitable terms."
The financial provisions of the Cum- j
mins bill, Mr. Mason believes, are not I
I sufficient to safeguard the road? in !
realizing a fair basis of earnings. Un- !
der this act, he contends, the Inter- |
state Commerce Commission could no*
use the discretion which would enal
the companies to realize a net ope?- ;
ating income of 5 V_ per cent upon the ;
value of their property. He believes
this would discourage investment.
Speaking of the labor features of the
Esch bill, Mr. Mason says:
"The House bill explicitly perpetu?
ates every wage increase and every
working rule or regulation made bv the j
railroad administration under pr?s
sure of war conditions and those re?
sulting from war. As conditions tend
toward normal the only recourse of
the managers in the direction of adapt?
ing labor conditions to such normal
status is to obtain the consent of the ;
employes as represented in adjustment
boards. The House bill recruits such
boards exclusively from the member?
ship of the several brotherhoods and
unions of railway labor who are recog- ;
nized by name in such a way that no
new organization of employes can be
formed and no employe not a member
of an existing brotherhood or union
can have representation. This legalizes
and codifies the closed shop."

British R?umen Accept
Wage Agreement in Part
LONDON, Jan. 15.?Delegates of
railwaymen's unions have accepted the
government's offer in settlement of ?
wage demands made by employees in j
the lower grades of the service.
After the close of this morning's!
meeting of the delegates, J. H. Thomas,
general secretary of the National j
Union of Railwaymen.?. said: "The con?
ference has decided by a very narrow
majority to accept the government's
offer."
The delegates of the railwaymen re?
ported the decision to Sir Eric Geddes,
the Minister of Transport. After they
had seen the minister their leader, Mr. I
Thomas, said: "It is settled. It has :
been a very difficult job, probably the j
most difficult of all our tasks."
The government's offer accepted by
the railwaymen maintains the sliding i
scale, and the wage is fixed on the !
average, not the maximum, pay. It
makes, however, further concessions in !
the form of bonuses for women and
some men, with an increase of a half
crown in a bonus to workers under
eighteeen years old.
