REPEAL WILL OPEN CELLS OF HUNDREDS Convicted Liquor Violator! to Be Freed. ’ * Washington.—Before Christmas day dawns and as soon after December 6 ats It can be managed there will occur an exodus of “prohibition prisoners” from federal penitentiaries throughout the country without parallel since a Paris mob threw open the gates of the Bastile and tossed a monarchy Into the discard. It Is more than a possibility that the governors of many of the states which have been 'narking time ao far on the release of prohibition law of fenders will follow In line with orders from Washington and free every man and woman convicted of crime under the wording of the Blghteenth amend ment The repeal of prohibition law Is no longer a possibility but as certain as death or taxea. By December 0 the last of the necessary state ratifications will have been made—and a new leaf will be turned over where the book has lain open for 1.1 years. According to Attorney General Ho mer Cummings, “a common sense at titude will be maintained in the de partment” In the matter of federal prisoners. He added that It might not be advisable to issue a blanket or der for release, as many cases have other sides to them over and above the simple breaking of the prohibition law. Repeal also will bring demand for issuance of Presidential pardons for the thousands who have been sen tenced over the last 13 yer-rs and who now are on parole. Already a numl>er of those states which have voted to throw the Eight eenth amendment out of the Constitu tion have freed the men and women held in accordance with that law. In Michigan, Governor Comstock let out everybody. From Indiana, where there was until last November, a bone-dry law equal ing that of Michigan in severity, comes word that Governor McNutt has re leased all persons held on simple liquor charges and Is giving consideration to all transport and traffic charges. Lsnlsncy In Texas. “Ma” Ferguson, governor of Texas. Is, on the advice and counsel of hus band Jim, who led the wets to victory, following In the footsteps of Indiana and promising consideration to the graver liquor charges after repeal Is an actual fact Such leniency does not mean that the federal government Intends to let up on the arrest and prosecution of bootleggers after the Twenty-first amendment becomes effective. Beating the law after repeal means beating the tax lawa, Mr. Cummings has gone to some pains to make plain. The history of prohibition over 13 years shows the following violation tallies as far as the federal govern ment alone Is concerned: Persons to the number of 539,173 were convicted and fines of $75,358,000 were assessed. Since 1920—records before that time wer^ not accurately kept—152,510 persons received Jail sentences. Ten millions went In at torney’s fees, court cost and loss of wages. The federal government padleeked 48.911 places, aelr.ed 75.517 automo biles and destroyed 32G.308 stills at an estimated coat to the owners of $32.- 000,000. From 1920 to 1029, 1.300 per sons were killed In connection with en forcement. The bill for trying to dry America ran Into an avfrage of $40.- 000,000 a year, or a rough total outlay of $520,000,000. DuriHg that period America’s Illicit drink bill has been figured at $2,848,000,000. Church Built in 1804 Is Philadelphia Landmark Philadelphia.—The historic old brick CTnirch of Kensington, erected In 1804 by 00 dissenting members of St. George's Episcopal church, still stands today. The structure has been a tradition In the neighborhood, and In spite of Its modern Improvements, still bears the quaintness of past generations. Ita.church records contain the his tory of some of the oldest families In Philadelphia, some of whom can trace their line back to ancestors who lived In that part of the city more than 21X1 years ago. School Has Own 3.2 Cambridge, Mass.—Almost anywhere else 3.2 means beer, but at the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology It Is a mining engineering course In "Ad vanced Ore Dressing.” f Hobo Pigeon Rides Switching Engine Moncton, N. D —There’s a hobo pigeon In the railway yards here. Its favorite roosting place Is the tender and cab of a switching en gine. Upon this mobile roost it will ride the length of the yards, but It supplies Its own motive power for the return trip. It flies back to the starting point and awaits the return of the engine. Then It goes for another ride. With a number of switching en gines busy in the same yard, the pigeon always picks the same one for Its trips. The pigeon Is jealous of Its prerogatives and will fight away any other pigeons that at tempt to usurp Its “right a FOOTBALL! FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24XH 3:00 P.
