Washington.— Following months of
continuous complaint from all parts of
the country that prohibition is falling
to accomplish Its purpose, the federal
government has decided to prosecute
violations to the limit.
From now on, a bootlegger's custom
er will he just as much an object of
federal enforcement as th& . .booUeg-
ger.
This decision, announced by Mrs
Mabel Walker Wlllebrandt, assistant
attorney general in charge of prohi
bition prosecution, recently, brings
into reach of the law countless thou
sands of purchasers of bootleg liquor
who have heretofore considered them
selves immune under the Volstead act.
For two years the dry forces, as rep
resented by the Anti -. Saloon league
and other agencies, have been flght-
ir.g to have the courts recognize the
| equal guilt of the buyer of booze along
with the sellers.
This new Interpretation by Mrs.
Wlllebrandt, which will bring the
prohibition law home to those who
halve flaunted the law without fear
of consequences, is not based upon
the Volstead act. Prosecution will be
based upon Section 117 of the United
States criminal code, wherein a max
imum penalty of two years' Imprison
ment and $KX00') fine is provided for
those who conspire to violate the
laws of the land. Hootleg liquor pur
chasers will be prosecuted as having
entered Into a conspiracy to violate
the laws. . T

applied to steady customers of boot-
IwRgers—Small violators will be pros

This distinction. It Is pointed out,

charge on a violator is the bootleg
ger's note book i and correspondence,
which hooks up.\he patrons with"the
salesman's illicit activities.

SERUM FOR STRICKEN NOME
Halp Reaches Hospital With Antitoxin
For Relief Of Inmates Stricken
With Diphtheria r
Nome. Alaska—Bringing to diphthe
rla-stricken Nome the vital antitoxin
expected to save the entire white col
ony here from death, Gunnar Kasson
arrived, riding into the city behind 15
dogs which had covered the last lap of
a race with death from Nenana, a race
that will take its place among the
great epics of the frozen north.
The last stage of the dash was made
through a blinding blizzard, which
had brought fears to this city that the
gallant musher and his precious 300,-
000 units of serum might be lost, as
he was on the verge of success.
A whole week was consumed in
making the trip. The antitoxin was
rhlpped by rail from Anchorage to
Nenana, where dog teams picked it
Up. Running in relays, the dog teams
-carried the serum over 650 miles of
wind-swept trail to Nome.
Gunnar Kasson had relieved Leon
ard Seppalla. Roth men are among
the most famous mushers of the north.
Kasson was virtually sheathed In Ice
and he unclencshed his bleeding hands
from the sled handles with difficulty.
Ice masked the reaving flanks, of
his malamutes as they dropped in the
snow after their record run against
death.
The antitoxin, strapped in a bundle
weighing scarcely twenty pounds, was
unlashed from the sled and rushed
Into the hospital. It was necessary
to.cut the frozen ropes with axes.
Men stared at the precious stuff as
it was turned over to Doctor Curtis
Welch, government physician. To the
inhabitants of Nome the serum Is
more precious than all the gold taken
from tbe sands of the beach in the
gold rush days.
Record upon record, established by
the famous dog derbies, major sport
of the territory, has fallen as the.
hardy mushers and their prize-win
ning huskies have plunged through
snow and sleet, surmounting difficul
ties which would down all but super-
tien and super-beasts.
The antitoxin was packed at the
government hospital at Anchorage.
January 27, and shipped by train to
Nenana, following receipts of mes
sages telling of Nome’s perilous plight.
January 27 at 8 p. m. It arrived
at Nenana. William Shannon tpok
It In charge and mushed 60 miles to
Tolovana.
There at 7:30 a. m.. January 28,
Shannon, after an all night drive,
turned over the serum to Jim Kalland,
one of the most famous of Alaskan
mushers. In an instant he and his
dogs were speeding away In the arc

miles distant.
Kalland reached Hot Springs at
4:45 o’clock/tttat same day. His hands

Washington Ignoring the Moses
compromise bill passed by the senate,
the house postofflee committee has re
ported out a new salary rate increase
hill, which carries with It rate In
creases enough to meet tho presi
dent's approval.
Working with amazing speed, the
committee drafted a bill \vhich It is
estimated will provide $60,000,060 in
additional revenue. Tire salary in
crease amounts to $68,000,000.
The house bill calls for the follow
ing changes.
1. Increase in second class rates in
zones 1, 2 and 3 to 3 cent* a pound.
This, it is estimated, will bring in an
additional $4,290,000.
2. A limit of X ounces on third class
matter. It is believed that this will
$'ield $18,000,000 more.
3. A service fee of 2 cents for
j>arcel post packages in addition to
regular charges. This is estimated to
yield $15,000,000.
4. A special “expedition” charge of
25 cents on registered letters.
5. The rate on postal cards raised
to 2 cents.
In the new measure the salaries in-

crease would be retroactive, to Jan
uary 1, 1925, instead of July 1, 1924.
The rate Increases would make the
bill acceptable to ITesident Coolidgo,
Representative Kelly of Pennsylvania,
champion of the bill, declared.
A provision was inserted in the bill
creating a commlslon of the house and
senate to study the general postal
rate structure.
The rate increases as contained in
the new bill have already brought pro
tests from newspaper publishers.
"The measube which has t>een re
ported to the house will not produce
a nickel of additional revenue from

)the American Newspaper association
declares. “It will only serve to drive
from the malls, without corresponding
benefit to the government, a great vol
ume of newspaper circulation.”

of the conference report already ap
