BOOTLEGGING
TRAFFIC HAS
CAUSED A WAR
DKXVKK. Colo.. April SO — Colo
rado's first company of state con. tabu
la! \ is making “bootlegging,” the il
licit trade m liquor from wet Wyom
ing into dry Colorado, de«*ided!\ un
popular for the “bootlegging mag
nates.” many of who have bee »me
) i< h since C olorado went dry two
years ago.
“War to the death” on boot leg
ging was the order of Colonel Crank
Adams, superintendent of the tor.
stabulaiA to the first company when
it t »ok the field January T. Already
it has made its effect felt ami whisky
which oootleggeis formerly sold in
Denver for *2.00 a pint has jumped to
<:i and •> ;.*»<> a pint because of the add-,
ed'danger to its importation. Dozens
oi men have ueen arrested, as many
:i' eleven autombilcs being stopped
and their occupants arrested in one
aignt. All these aitomobihs tarried
dozens ot cases of illicit liquor.
Before the constabulary decia ed
war and took the tu hi it also was pos
sible in Denver for whisky di inkers
to choose their brand, s*> plentiful was
the supply. Now it all is classed as
‘‘bootleg’* and those that drink have
no choice as to what brand.
One man alieudy is dead through
action of the Constabulary. He was
>not near the Wyoming line in Colo
rado one n'ght late in l ebuary when
he refused to halt when ordered to do
so by a squad of state police. He
died a few hours later In a Cheyenne,
Wyoming hospital.
The man was Ray l). Harrigan, an
automobile man of Denver. Harrigan
before had been arrested by the Den
ver police charged with bootlegging
and was suspected by the constabula
ry of “running" whisky from Cheyen
ne to Denver. However there was no
liquor found in his automobile after
the shooting. The Constabulary
charge Harrigan this night with act
ing as a pilot for another machine
and that if he made it through would
return and tell the other the coast was
clear.
A coincidence of the Harngan case
a as that less than two weeks later
his brother-in-law. in Hamg.ui’s au
tomobile. was arrested by the same
members of the state* police within
two miles of where Harrigan was kill
ed. This time the automobile carried
(*»:*. gallons of whisky, according to »he
squad which made the arrest.
As soon as the men can be re
cruited there will be four companies ot
constabulary. Each will consist of 47
men a car.tain, lieutenant, ~c>gecnt
and two corporals.
But fhe standards of the service
are high and men are hard to hnd
since the war was declared b\ thn
t'nited States on Germany. Most of
the members are former soldiers or
sailors, cowboys, Texas ranchers or
men who long have lived in the We t
All must meet the highest physical,
mental and moral requirements.
The constabulary was made pos
sible through action of the last Colo
rado legislature as a war measure t >
guard and police the state during
ot .ivjtiuis souq uo pouLioj si jr un.w
the Pennsylvania s»ate Aonatahular>
and its members can bo cal’ed for
duty in any part of the state.

S
GREAT FOREST
MUST GO FOR
THE MILITARY
PARIS. April ‘TO — Will the forest
of Fontainebleau have to be sacrific
ed military purposes? I hat ques
tion is agitating French historical
artistic and literary circles. There is
little of these questionings in the prac
tical military mind and it is believed
l-robable that before long the ancient
forest will resemble a lumber camp on
the Ottawa or .he St. Maurice rivers.
The drain of lumber during the
present wa** has been very great.
With the difficulty in transportation
growing more and more acute the sup
I ply of timber has had to be obtained
! from local tracts instead of from the
virgin forests of Northern Canada.
There is a pang of regret in artis
tic circles but it is remembered that
Kngland has sacrificed without mur
mur the beautiful trees in the Koval
I Park of Windsor and it is believed
that unless lumber can be obtained
e sewhere under as favorable condi
tions. Fontainebleau is doomed.

MORATORIUM
RENT CASE IS

PARIS, April ‘10 — The remarkable
illegalities resulting from the French
moiatorium of rents, which has been
jin *lfect ever since the war, is seen
' bi cas- which has come up in the
i courts here. An aged Frenchman,
whose only source of income was a
large house, rented it jest before the
■war to a tenant who was mobilized
land is still serving. Consequently h*'
i> not obliged to pay rent. His wife
mcunvhile is occupying the house,
which she sub*lets to a number of
veokly tenants at a good price. The
poor landlord, deprived of his only
source of i« venue, lives on money
which he borrows at a high rate of
nterest, the lendei being the tenn t’s
wife. He is trying to obtain some
adjustment of his hoi rovings thru the
French courts.

' Chas A. Sulzer
Candidate For Re-election as
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primal ics as a candidate for Delegate to
Congress from Alaska, I feel impelled to make a brief statement to
the people of the territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated
in the House as Alaska's representative to congress. During the rr ost
of this time the United States has been engaged in a world war, and
every resource of the nation, including money and man power is oe
ing devoted to the single purpose of winning this great war . Every
member of congress in considering legislation for the nation, has
placed the country's war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military estaDlishment of ’he
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation's call. She has gi’ en
her share willingly and unstintingly. When the democratic party
went before the people of Alaska in November, nineteen sixteen, it
stood for a certain constructive program which embodied as its prin
cipal elements a wider measure of home rule for the territory, and a
sane and rational policy in the development of natural resources and
every posible aid to the pioneers of the country.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress
which I am pressing for passage- as opportunity affords: Ji
“Granting Alaska full territorial foirn of government with home I
rule the dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair
to all and the protection of the ?nlmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eigiity
rod reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws &o as to give the people a better oppor
tunity to use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
i
“F,<tcnding the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the Territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the
needs of the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the
war some measure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted *u
passing a law’ which helped the prospector by suspendi lg assessment
work on claims du*ng ihe year* nineteen seventeen and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the w'ireless and cable system in Alaska has
bee n accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appoint
ments to the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts
w’hich prevented the fanners of the interior from supplying army
posts with cheir vegetables ait* cancelled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of
Alaska have come to me from A'arkans all over the territory. Reit
eiating my desire to serve the best interests of Alaska, I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nomination for
Delegate to Congress.”
