‘DRY' ENFORCEMENT
MAYBECHANGED
WASHINGTON,. May 28.—Declar
ing that the present prohibition en
forcement system is "ineffective,
wasteful and demoralizing in many
.of its aspects,” Chairman Penrose, of
the senate finance committee, an
nounced tonight that conferences
would be held next week between his
, committee and Commissioner Blair,
of the bureau of internal revenue,
looking to changes in enforcement
methods.
The whole subject of “rehabilita
tion” of the enforcement system will
be gone over. Mr. Penrose said, add
ing that the advisability of transfer
ring the prohibition unit from the
bureau of internal revenue to the de
partment of justice, the designating
of an enforcement superintendent for
each of the states, or for each judi
cial district, and other suggestions
would be taken up.
Senator Penrose said he personally
was in favor of the department of
justice taking over the enforcement
work. The question will be discussed
with Attorney General Daugherty be
fore the finance committee takes ac
tion. he said. Secretary Mellon al
ready had expressed approval of the
proposed transfer, and Mr. Blair is
to favor the step.
. “The present prohibition enforce
ment systetm is ineffective, wasteful
and demoralizing in many of its as
pects.” Mr .Penrose said, “and re
quires drastic treatment in order
that it may be rehabilitated and freed
of the scandalous conditions now sur
rounding it.”
The plan of the transfer and the
to which it would go, Mr.
tPenrose added, "is a matter of de
tail to be worked out on the basis
that theoretically the treasury ought
to have no police business to trans
*act.”
J Prohibition enforcement, he said, is
■a matter peculiarly in the province of
the attorney general, and the district
attorneys.
One of Mr. Blair’s first acts as
commissioner, it was said tonight,
would be designation of a new pro
"hibition commissioner in place of
• John F. Kramer. For this place,
Newton Fairbanks, of Ohio, has been
frequently mentioned.

IMPROVING, SAYS KRAMER
WASHINGTON. May . 28.—The
-country gradually is becoming drier
.'and the Volstead law easier to en
force, John F. Kramer, prohibition
enforcement commissioner. today
told the senate appropriations com
jnittee in requesting a deficiency ap
propriation. Passage of enforcement
laws by several states he said, had
improved the enforcement situation.
llr. Kramer asked the committee
to approve the emergency appropria
tion of $200,000 added to the general
deficiency bill in the house and was
said to have been assured of such
action. '
Says “Lone Wolves”
Manipulate Grain
WASHINGTON. May 28.—" Done
wolves”—big speculators who work
quietly and alone—are the greatest
■manipulators of the grain market.
Harry E. Smith, grain supervisor of
the bureau of markets, today told
the senate agricultural committee
considering the Capper bill to pre
vent grain speculation.
The market is controlled by grain
speculators at times no matter what
may be said, declared Smith.
Mr. Smith declared that limiting
the amount that one man could hold
jn open speculative trade to 1,000,-
000 bushels of grain would "cure"
market control and prevent "corner
ing.”
“What would prevent twenty or
more men combining to control the
market?” asked Senator Caraway, of
Arkansas.
. Mr. Smith replied that there were
few speculators who trade in 1,000,-
DOO or more bushels, and that severe
penalties should be imposed for pool
ing.

OBREGON WRITES FRANKLY
OF U. S.-MEXICAN RELATIONS
(There is no more important question
before the American people today
than the relations of. this country with
the governments, of Latin Amer
ica. Foremost .of these Latin-Ameri
ican problems is the relationship be
tween the United States and Mexico.
Today 'The Journal presents the first of
a series of occasional dispatches/ from
the administrative executives of our sis
ter republics as to their problems ami
as to their relationship with us. The
president of Mexieb states bis ease with
remarkable frankness.)
BY ALVAROOBRSGON
President of Mexico
'Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921)
MEXICO CITY, May 28.—How
could the relations between Mexico
and the United States be improved?
This question can be easily answered,
but I shall endeaver first to settle
this point: What is the present sat
us of the relations between Mexico
and the United States?
The peaceful intercourse of nations,
as well as of individuals, is possible
with the sole condition that the
neighbors—individuals or nations—
adjust their conduct to the dictates
of morality and law. Similar senti
ments of this mutual understanding
are naturally necessary for the ma
terial and spiritual interchange of
the common life, which, fortunately,
takes place, more or less, throughout
the civilzed world, and the develop
ment of such intercourse may even
come to transform the simple peace
ful intercourse of nations into a
friendly co-operation, not only bene
ficial to their own interests, but also
beneficial to the genera! interests of
humanity at large.
This would be the ideal state of the
world, under the rule—now unfor
tunately impossible—of an imper
turbable peace But wars, which are
plausible as crises of evolutionary de
velopment, and deplorable for their
methods of brutal violence, as a re
gression to inferior states of civ
ilization, either when confined within
the frontiers of a single nation or
when they pass beyond its borders
and involve several nations, are fac
tors that break the international
concert. They considerably disturb
the commercial and friendly rela
tions among nations. This is the
present status of the world, in which
are included, reciprocally—with the
special circumstances inherent to
their contiguity—Mexico and the
United States.
The relations between these two
countries are affected first, as a re
sult of the revolutionary convulsions
which during ten years have dis
turbed Mexico, and second, as a result
of the neutrality, in which Mexico
had to maintain herself during the
great world war.
Mexican Resolutions
Let U 3 examine briefly these two
points. Civil war is the evolution
ary and violent form produced in an
unavoidable manner in all the na
tions of the world, whenever the
gradual development of the institu
tions remains behind their time in
regard to the necessities or the as
pirations of a people. Naturally,
during the last internal war, as hap
pens in all civil and international
wars, there were not applied in
Mexico the moral and legal precepts
corresponding to peaceful times and,
in this regard, the episodes of the
latter could .have not been better or
worse than those of the European
wa r.
The Mexican revolution gave rise,
therefore, to incidents which deplor
ably affected the relations between
the two countries, and of such; not
only the United States can com
plain, but also the republic of Mex
ico. It is true, in fact, it could not
be otherwise, that several American
citizens have died, and many have
suffered damages in their proper
ties as a logical consequence of the
state of war, and of inevitable or
arbitrary acts of the revolutionary
government, such as the attachment
of the railroads and other private
property, the temporary discontinu
ance of payments of interests on the
public external debt, etc.
It is nevertheless also true that
in the United States the interests
injured by the Mexican revolution,
or those fearful of it. carried out
an intense campaign against it, and,
therefore, against the Mexican peo
ple, grossly exaggerating its meth
ods and its acts and unjustly pic
turing Mexico, not as a country
which struggles, to the point of sac
rifice, in order to win its liberties and
a place of honor in the civilzed world,
but as a band of outlaws incapable
of regeneration. It is also true that
the Mexican people, mindful, as it is,
of its sovereignty, suffered a viola
tion of sovereignty in the occupaA
tion by American forces of the port
of Vera Cruz and the “punitive” ex
pedition, which reached the heart of
Chihuahua.
As regards the second point, not
withstanding the pro-allied senti
ments of the thinking classes of
Mexico, the country had to remain
neutral during the great war, be
cause it was deeply engaged in its
internal problems and also because in
no case could it have taken part in
a sufficiently decorous manner. The
direct motives calling it to war were
not sufficiently important, nor was
its Contingent of forces so large as to
influence, even in an appreciable
manner, the course of the war.
From the time of the declaration
of war on Germany by the United
States, the neutrality of Mexico con
stituted another source of friction
between the two countries, besides
the fact that taking advantage of
these propitious conditions, the dam
aged foreign interests were able to
I intensify to the maximum possible
degree their hostile campaign against
Mexico.
Nothing Now Backing
Fortunately, the Mexican revolu
tion and the European war are things
of the past. Both the Mexican and
American peoples daily manifest —
in various forms—their intention to
develop closer relations and friendly
co-operation to which they are moral
ly bound by their geographic pro
pinquity.
This would be to the advantage of
their respective countries, the Amer
ican continent and humanity at
large. The present government of
Mexico, which is the outcome of this
expression of the free will of its
peoples, endeavor to carry out its
high purposes.
What is lacking, then, for the ful
filment of that beneficial and friend
ly co-operation between the govern
ments of Mexico and the United
States, so much desired by the in
habitants of both countries? That
the American government, placing it
self above the unwholesome tenden
cies, transitory characteristics and
absurd impatience of a few material
interests, do justice to the people
and government of Mexico, by ap
plying the traditional policy initi
ated by Jefferson, in these memor
able words: “According to our prin
ciples, we must recognize as legal
any government constituted in con
formity with the will of a nation,
substantially stated.”
OBREGON AND SUMMERLIN
DISCUSS AMERICAN NOTE
MEXICO CITY, May 28.—(8y the
Associated Press.)—George T. Sum
merlin, the American charge d’af
faires, who recently returned here
from Washington, called at the
foreign office this morning, but it
Was explained his visit was merely
to thank Foreign Secretary Pani
for the courtesies extended incidental
to Mr. Summerlin’s return here.
With the memorandum of the
United States regarding recognition
of Mexico in his hands for considera
tion, President Obregon, it is stated
semi-officially, will communicate
with Mr. Summerlin early next week
regarding the document. Mexican
officials declined today to be quoted
on the subject, declaring the matter
was entirely in the hands of Presi
dent Obregon.
Last night’s conference between
President Obregon ana Mr. Summer
lin was hurriedly arranged as soon
as the foreign office was advised
that such a meeting was desired by
the American charge d’affaires. Mr.
Summerlin, accompanied by a
foreign office representative, met the
president in Chapultepec castle and
for more than an hour discussed the
memorandum with him. The con
ference is said to have been an ex
tremely cordial one and it is stated
President Obregon expressed the de
sire for an amicable arrangement.
Mr. Summerlin is understtod to
have told President Obregon that
Mexican affairs had occupied the
United States state department for
Some time and the especial concern
•had been felt in Washington over
rumored bolsheviki activities in
Mexico as exemplified by the recent
tragedy in Morelia and the invasion
of the chamber of deputies by radi
cals.
President Obregon.’ according to
reports, is declared to have assured
Mr Summerlin that the radical
movement was being watched closely
and that all safeguards were being
taken to prevent its assuming menac
ing proportions. Mr. Summerlin to
day maintained his policy of reserve
ana the only comment he would
make on his conference with Presi
dent Obregon was that “the meeting
was extremely pleasant, and the
president was most affable.”
As indicative that the government
is keeping a watchful eye on radi
cals is a war office order issued
last night directing the disarming
of all civilians ifi the state of
Michoacan, which during the past
week has been the scene of several
serious clashes between Catholics
and Socialists. The federal troops
also have been ordered to be pre
pared at all times to suppress out
break s.
Flash Light Causes
Gasoline Explosion,
Injuring Valdosta Man
VALDOSTA. Ga., May 28. —When
a flash light dropped to the floor in
J. H. Ray’s garage today it caused
an explosion of gasoline which set
fire to the place, ruining three big
trucks, a seven-passenger car. and
causing injuries to Mr. Ray which are
quite serious. Mr. Ray was filling
his gasoline tank preparatory to
making a trip in the country with
one of his trucks, using a milk pail
with which to convey the gasoline
from his big tank to the car tank.
He had the pail in one hand and
the flash light in the other, using
the flash light to see how much gas
there was in the tank. He dropped
the flash light and broke it, the
sparks firing the gas. Mr. Ray was
badly burned about the hands and
face, and his hair singed from his
head. The fire burned so rapidlv
that the contents of the garage were
ruined before the fire department ar
rived.
Big Sugar Cane Crop
Is Planned in Florida
TAMPA. Fla.. May 28. —Practically
all the preliminaries for the plant
ing of a large acreage of sugar cane
in this country and the erection of a
sugar refinery near Tampa have been
made and it is expected that the
planting will start as soon as the
season is favorable. Two thousand
acres have been secured by-Colonel
M. Herrera De Hora, of New York,
and F. L. Cleveland, and James E.
Bruce, of Tampa. The concern will
be known as the Tafnpa sugar estates
and will be capitalized at a million
dollars.
JINGO UTTERANCES
DECRIED BY SENATOR
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE THLEB
WASHINGTON, May 28.—Decry
ing jingo utterances in both coun
tries, Senator William J. Harris told
the senate during the debate on the
naval appropriation bill that he saw
no prospect of trouble between the
United States and Japan, and that
a “military clement” in each country
seemed primarily responsible for
vast appropriations for armament.
Senator Harris supported the Bo
rah resolution asking the president
to call a disarmament conference, and
in so doing he directed attention to
statistics showing that out of every
dollar expended by this country to
day 93 cents go for past wars and
plans for future wars. The remain
ing 7 cents per dollar go to such
peaceful things as administration of
the government, public health, public
education and internal improvements,
including rivers and harbors and fed
eral buildings.
With taxes what they are today,
Senator Harris contended, it was al
most criminal to add $150,000,000 for
naval vessels.
The Georgia senator referred to
his recent visit to Japan and said he
found there agitators who further an
anti-American sentiment, just as in
this country there are found persons
who are always predicting trouble
with Japan and stirring an anti-Jap
anese sentiment.
In his speech Senator Harris said
in part:
States His Position
"I have supported the Borah reso
lution most heartily, and it seems to
me that every senator would gladly
vote to bring about disarmament be
tween Great Britain, Japan and the
United States. I cannot understand
why there should be any necessity
for the increases in appropriations
provided by the senate naval com
mittee over the bill as it passed the
house, until we have the opportunity
for the conference between the coun
tries referred to in the Borah resolu
tion to meet and see if we can not
get an' agreement to disarm, and
save the already burdened taxpayers
of our country more than a hundred
and fifty million dollars annually.
"I spent several weeks in Japan
last year, and investigated conditions
there as best 1 could. That country
is going through exactly the same,
conditions we have here. The mili
tary party there, through their news
papers and propaganda, are doing ev
erything they can to frighten the
people about what the United States
expects to do, in a matter similar to
that referred to by Senator Lenroot
when he called attention to an article
in a Washington newspaper. Their
only hope to tax the people and bur
den them as the world has never
known of before in time of peace is
by just such alarming statements to
prejudice their people.
"Those opposed to the military
party in Japan are increasing in
numbers all the time, just as those
opposed to it in this country. Ninety
per cent of the people of this coun
try are opposed to such appropria
tions as are provided for in the bill
reported by the senate committee on
naval affairs, and a like number fa
vor an agreer ent between all coun
tries to disarm.
Doesn’t Deal' War.
“I do not think we are going to
war with Japan. I believe they want
to be our friends, and I know a ma
jority of the people in this country
want to be friendly with Japan. I
think all the discussion about trou
ble between this country and Japan
in certain sections of this country
are unwise, and I think if ‘there
should be more discussion to the ef
fect that those people are our
friends, and we are their friends,
it would be far better than the de
nunciation of Japan all the time by
some people.
“Congress will be tn session sev
eral months. If we can not get a
disarmament agreement as provided
by the Borah resolution, then it will
be time enough for the senate to
appropriate the money carried in the
naval bill now proposed.
“With the people of this country
burdened with taxation as they
are today, I think it almost a crime
to burden them with $150,000,000 ad
ditional to be spent on the navy.
“We only appropriate about $40,-
000,000 annually for agricultural pur
poses for the entire country, and
some senators who oppose those
items for agricultural advancement
vote for four times that amount of
increase in the appropriations of the
naval bill.
“The per capita tax in the United
States has increased from $6 an
nually to S4B. The percentage of
disbursements annually by this coun
try show 67.81 per cent for past
wars; 25.02 per cent for plans of fu
tffi-e wars; 3.19 per cent for the leg
islative, executive and judicial
branches of the Government; 1.01
per cent for public health and edu
cation; 2.91 per cent for public
works, deluding rivers and harbors,
the Panama canal and public build
ings.
“It is the duty of congress to
reduce the expenditures of our gov
ernment and save our people the
great burden of taxation now upon
them. As long as I am a member
of this body I shall do my best to
bring about this condition.”

_______
THESE LITTLE HOMES WILL BRING THE BIRDS TO YOUR
YARD.
Dan Beard Is national Boy Scout
commissioner of America. He has
spent his life in work in the inter
est of boys >and has written many
books about them. This is the third
of six stories on "Summer Stunts
for Boys,” written by him. *
BY DAN BEARD
(National Boy Scout Commissioner)
A CHAP who is handy with tools
can find no better occupation
than to devote his spare time
to the making of bird houses.
He can have a lot of fun out of
building these homes for the feath
ered folk, and he can have a lot
more fun putting them up in the
yard and watching the birds build in
them.
Even the boy who is not handy
with tools can share in this delight
ful occupation for there are numer
ous simple methods of building bird
houses that are just as successful in
attracting desirable birds about the
house as the more elaborate bird
dwellings.
Book for Hollow Dimb
Any boy can find a hollow limb or
two in the woods near town. It
doesn’t require much genius to saw
one of these limbs off and cut it up
into sections about eighteen inches
long, fill up each end and drill holes
in them, as in Figure 1. Houses of
this type serve well for bluebirds,
woodpeckers, flickers (if the holes
are made about two and a half inches
in diameter), nuthatches and a va
riety of desirable birds. Bird logs
are always welcome dwelling places

Questions Answered
1 q. Has a patent ever been tak-
en out on a. perpetual motion ma
chine? _
A. The views of the patent office
are in accord with those of the scien
tists who have investigated the sub
ject, and are to the effect that me
chanical perpetual motion is a phys
ical impossibility. These views can
be rebutted only by the exhibition of
a working model. Many persons
have filed applications for patents on
perpetual motion, but such applica
tions have been rejected as inopera
tive, and opposed to well known phys
ical laws, and in no instance has
the requirement of the patent office
for a working model been complied
with.
2 q. What does the word penny
mean, as used in referring to nails?
A. The term penny in connection
with nails is always used in com
bination with prefixed numerals, such
as fourpenny, tenpenny, etc., to form
an adjective. These adjectives now
denote certain arbitrary sizes. Origi
nally. they denoted the price per
hundred of nails.
3 Q. When was ft first proved
that the earth revolved on its axis?
A. Until the early part of the
sixteenth century, it was a common
belief that the earth stood still.
About that time Nicolaus Copernicus,’
a Polish astronomer, issued scientific
papers explaining his theory which
proved that the earth moved in
space, and revolved on its own axis.
4 Q. What is the value of church
property in the United States?
A. According to the latest statis
tics available, those of 1916, the val
ue of church property in the United
States was $1,676,600,582.
5 q. How did biscuits come to
be called by that name?
A. This word is a compound of
the French word “bis,” meaning
twice, and "cuit,” meaning baked.
Originally, the bread for use on ship
board, made in thin flat cakes as
now, was baked twice, in order to
secure the requisite hardness and
dryness.
6. Q. —What does the word Chau
bunagungamaug mean?
A. The lake near Webster. Mass.,
has the Indian name Chaubunagunga
maug, which is a shortened form of
the old Algonquin, Chargogagog
maunchaugagogchebunnygunghmann-
mang. Its meaning has been much
discussed,, but many authorities have
decided on the translation “large
water-where-many-blackbirds - make
their-chatter.”
7. Q. —From what plant or tree is
the gingerbread fruit obtained?
A. The Doom Palm or Gingerbread
tree is native to Arabia. Upper
Egypt, and the central parts of Afri
ca. The fruit is about the size of an
orange and when the skin is peeled
off a spongy dry substance of insipid
sweetness is found. This substance
bears a remarkable resemblance to
gingerbread. A beverage made from
the fruit is used in fevers.
8. Q. —When were combs first used?
A. There are records to show that
combs have been used from the re
motest times. They were an article
of adornment in ancient Greece and
Rome. Ivory combs were common
among the Egyptians. Thev have also
been found in Anglo-Saxon graves.
9. Q. —Has Japan any new bat
tleships? How large ate they?
A. The four new battleships of
Japan are the Fuso, Hyuga. Ise and
Yamashiro. They are 658 feet long,
have a displacement of 31.000, and
a speed of 22.5 knots. Their main bat-
of house, and I have seen a capital
wren house made out of an old grape
basket (Figure 2). But almost any
form of bird house will do for the
wren, providing the entrance hole is
not more than seven-eighths of an
inch in diameter.
A hole any larger will permit the
entrance of English sparrows and
with these rowdies about, none of
the "better class” of American birds
will stay.
Don’t Need a Perch
It is best not to have a perch be
fore the door of the wren house. The
wren doesn’t need it, and if one is
there the sparrows are liable to sit
on the perch and plague the nest
ing mother bird inside, or fight off
the male bird, s>t» that the wren fam
ily will soon become discouraged
and quit the house.
A very desirable bird to Induce to
live in the yard is the purple mar
tin. These birds delight to live in
colonies and a capital colony can be
made out of an old nail keg parti
tioned off inside and an entrance hole
drilled to each apartment (Figure
3). The roof can be thatched to add
to the attractiveness of its appear
ance. The barrel colony house
should be elevated on a pole as high
off the ground as possible.
Some other simple bird houses
are shown above.
Here are some don’ts for bird
house-builders. Don’t paint a bird
house; paint is not found on a nat
ural house. Don’t use tin or tar pa
per forroofling, or sidewalls; it draws
the heat and the birds do not like
hot houses.

KIDNAPING CHARGE
ONST FARMERS
QUITMAN, Ga., May 28. —Quitman
and Brooks county are very much in
terested in the outcome of the trial
of Frank Bell. J. L. Williams, Otis
Beatty and J. L. Joyner, all success
ful and prominent farmers of Brooks
county, for alleged kidnaping.
All four of these men were indicted
by the grand jqry of Jefferson coun
ty, Florida, at Monticello, and this
is the first case of the kind to come
up in south Georgia.
It is said that on Wednesday Sher
iff Alman and Deputy Sheriff Gold
berg, of Jefferson county, came to
Quitman with warrants, and together
with Sheriff Clanton, arrested the
men and took them to Monticello,
where Quitman parties, who accom
panied the prisoners, made bond for
them in the sum of $2,000. The trial
will be held at the next term of the
Jefferson county court.
Tho facts behind the indictments
and arrests, as stated by the Jeffer
son county officers, are as follows:
A negro farm hand working for
Mr. Bell is said to have left him
owing him several hundred dollars.
According to their statement. Mr.
Bell, accompanied by Mr. Williams,
Mr. Beatty and Mr. Joyner, traced the
negro to Jefferson county, where he
was working on a farm. They
broughts the negro back to Brooks
county, it is said. It is also charged
that the white man for whom the ne
gro worked in Florida took out the
warrants for the Brooks county men,
gave them to the sheriff to serve, and
that the sheriff burned out a bearing
in his car in pursuit of the men as
they drove back to Brooks county
with the negro, failing on this ac
count to overtake them.
At the last term of the Jefferson
county court, true bills were return
ed against the Brooks county men,
charging them with kidnaping. The
Brooks county men claim that the
