'olicemen Deliver Whiskey To' Thirsty. Chicago, Sept. 28.?Federal offi_ ials today questioned a score of >olicemen and private citizens in the investigation resulting from statelents by Chief of Police Charles 'itzmorris that 2.500 members iof ' f Chicago's police force were bootlegers. Tonight, however, with six perons under arrest, Charles F. Clyne, fnited States District Attorney, anounced there would be no more ar_ ests until he "had time to deteraine if he had a real case." The arrests today resulted in two eparate lines of investigation. In ne instance three officers of the orce were held by Federal authoriies on charges of illegally confiscatng whiskey. In the second, one offi_ er and two private citizens were .rrested on charges of extortion in onnection wth whiskey deals. Reports to Mr. Clyne that one poce station wt-3 the home of a nest if bootleggers who delivered whis ey in the patrol wagon, charging n extra fee of $5 if a uniformed uard accompanied the delivery, rented in fifteen members of the orce being called before the Disrict Attorney, but none of them fas held. In another case a policeman arested told Mr. Clyne that he had ot arrested a person he saw delivring whiskey because he had been J L' 1 A.1 - - ? LU oxa uiai/ nis uuuweuger was ootscu iy eleven patrolmen and that he did ,ot want to get his fellow-members f the force "in bad." Another patrolman questioned by Ir. Clyne told him that Chief Fitzlorris's statements that 50 per cent f the force was engaged in illicitly landling liquor were conservative, he figure really should be 85 per ent. Chief Fitzmorris said tonight he 'would get rid of the bootlegging poicemen just as quickly as it could be lone without endangering the safey of the citizens. The police force s facing the hardest winter in its listory and I intend to keep every nember on his toes. Prohibition enorcement is important, but the geniral safety of Chicago's citizens ?

Let's travel slower a while for tonight; We are so weary of automobiles, toot&wr and skidding and grazing our heels. Give us a horse and a 'buggy once more, such as we used in those dear days of yore. Let's amble onward with never a fear that there may b? something to get out of gear! No punctured tires or spark plugs to watch; never a throttle to let out of notch; not any danger of our patient steed. We needn't listen far fear of a smash; we needn't worry thetfe may come a crash. But with our sweetheart right there by our sid?, over the smooth country highway we'd glide. Hang up the ribbons and use either arm, hugging our girlie with no thought of harm. Give us a horse and a buggy, I say, such as we used in our grand-daddy's day. W? are too fond of this hustle and rush; we are too prone to get caught in a crush. Let's travel slower?we can't live but once; what is the sense of J these fool auto stunts? Too mray j joyriders out raising hob, anxious to give the grave diggers a job! Baekj ward, turn backward?let's travel j more slow, for why in Sam Hill are we worrying so? j j Washington, Oct. 10.?The United States shipping board has offer1 ed to lease idle vessels at $1 ? month to coal exporters to assist them in competing with England, it ' was learned today.
