POLICE MAY ACCUSE DRUGGIST OF MUfUDEECHECKINGSALES OF

ALCOHOL!Prosecution of a prominent

downtown druggist for fur-nishing alcohol which causedN illiinkeii orgy resulting inthe murder of Roberjr BaneySaturday evening at 't-'i< "im I), was threatened byPolice Chief Harry N. SmithMonday.Evidence will Vie introduced at

the Inquest Tuesday morning.Chief Smith announced, showingthat 16 empty alcohol bottles, allbearing the label of the same•tore, were found In the roomwhere the murder occurred.

Indiscriminate purchase of al-cohol, and the terrible effects ofthe raw liquor on the human sys-tem, are said to have caused fivepersons in the house, including awomati, May Funk, to lose theirsenses.

When Mrs. Funk became affec-tionate with Baney early in theevening, Frank (logerty, who wasengaged to marry her, jerked outa Jack-knife and stabbed Baney Infour places, killing him almostinstantly.

Woman Disappears.Gogerty was insane from the ef-

fects of the liquor all day Sun-day, and could not believe Mondaythat he had committed the crime.Both men were longshoremen.

They drank grain alcohol, di-luted with water.

iMrs. Funk has disappeared, andpolice detectives have been unableto locate her. "Big Kd" Taylor,Daniel McVicker and "Little Ed"Taylor, longshoremen, who werein the house when the murder oc-curred, are all held by the police.The place was rented by "Big Ed"Taylor, but formed a meetingplace for a group of friends, whohad nightly debauches with alco-hol, all the men say.

Host of KriendN.Baney and Gogerty had been In-

timate friends and companions foryears. They bad 'lived and workedtogether, and were inseparable.

"They tell me I killed Bob, butI can't believe it," said Gogertyfrom his cell Tuesday.

"I remember starting to drinkalcohol Saturday afternoon, buteverything is a blank from thattime until I woke up here In jailSunday. I have one flash of mem-ory—something about taking outa knife to defend myself from aman who wanted to strike me.But that's all. Poor old Bob! Hewas the best friend I ever had."

Baney is survived by-his mother,Mrs. Ella Houston, 3330 No. Vll-lard st., and a brother, Hale Baneyin Tacoma.

His funeral willbe held Tues-day at 1:30 from Huckley-Klng'stinder the direction of the long-shoremen's union.

Check l'p Malstrom.Two police detectives were as-

signed Monday to checking upsales of alcohol in the drug storeof Victor Malstrom, nth andBroadway. Detective Huekaba wasstationed at the door of the drugstore, with instructions to prohibitany saleß of alcohol. A uniform-ed officer will be put on dutythere Tuesday, Chief Smith an-nounced. Other drug Btores willbe investigated.

Malstrom was given orders Sun-day not to sell any alcohol withouta written permit from the police.

A man who entered the storeMonday to buy alcohol was arrest-ed by Officer Huekaba and takento police headquarters, where he•was released after explaining sat-isfactorily what he wanted theliquor for.

PHOTOGRAPHIC COPY OF A CIRCULAR SENT OCT,PROMISING ENORMOUS PROFITS TO THOSE WHO ENTER APROPOSITION TO HOED EGGS OFF THE MARKET, THEN SEELTHEM AT HIGH PRICES.

By Basil M. ManlyCHICAGO, May 28—In my tour

of the vital food center for TheTimes 1 Wave heard reliable re-ports that in addition to specula-tion In foodstuffs carried on bydealers, large syndicates are beingformed to corner markets andreaj) large profits from Hie diningtables of the people.

Advertising matter put out byWood & Denman of Minneapolis,tells the whole story of many suchsyndicates, planning to buy enor-mous quantities of eggs no"w, stor-ing them until next winter atprofits that may run as high as

250 per cent.It is said formation of this

"syndicate" has been conductedwith great secrecy and circularswere sent only to persons whoanswered an advertisement innewspaper classified columns andwho were believed "safe."

In the circular the "syndicate"offered td advance 60 per centof the purchase price of any num-ber of cases of eggs and led "in-vestors" In by promises of ap-parent profits of $3 00 on an in-vestment of $180. •"Is it possible," asks the

circular, "to find any otherInvestment that Is sur- .rounded with absolute safety,in'wlilcb you ran invest andreceive such enormous re-turns on your money?"The answer is "No!" But the

person who falls for the game willfind, say those familiar with thiskind of "investment," that he willnot have $.100 profits.

Before he gets started he mayexpect to find there is a commis-sion to be paid on the purchase ofthe eggs, a commission and Inter-est to be paid on the 60 per centadvanced by the "syndicate," stor-age charges to be paid on the eggs,and other charges and commis-sions, to be paid to the "syndi-cate." flk

Thus, a large part of the expect-ed profits may be taken b> the"syndicate" before the "investor"gets into the game.

The evidence In this particular

case has been turned over to theMinnesota committee of safety,which has almost plenary powers,and brought to the attention ofthe federal district attorney.

But there is evidence thatthis Is only one of a chain of"get-rich-qnlck" schemes tocorner food markets and trim"slickers."As the law stands federal action

against such schemes can be hadonly under the Sherman act, withall the delays and technical loop-holes for which It Is famous.

Protection against such schemescould be provided if the presidentwere granted by congress fullpower to control food distributionIwhich he has asked.

"Wife," walls the weary oldvoice/over and over again, as Mrs,Carnegie tries to soothe lilm,"has the war ended yet? When—iWHEN, willl peace come?"

No man tried to do more for In-ternntlonal peace than Carnegie.After the commission which befinanced had reported on Balkanwar atrocities he pledged himselfto a world campaign against war.

When, in the last days ofJuly, mi l. Europe fated Ar-mageddon, Carnegie toiledlike a Titan. As ultimatumsflashed back and forth, Car-negie worked, tense withanxiety. He was sending ca-bles 1,, ministers of stalewhen lit itiiin's midnight dec-laration of war against Ger-many reached him. Strickento He heart, the veteran'spen fh-opped from his hand.An hour later Mrs. Carnegie

knelt by his side striving to com-fort him. "My great dream none.My great dream gone," he urn modendlessly. "If I could weep."

Weeks passed, with their inva-sion, rapine, atrocities, each fall*ing upon him as a physical liloek

"The dream of my life Is end-ed," sobbed Carnegie.

"General paralysis," said thescientists. They ordered quietand change of scene.

Almost from day to day hid con*dltion changed for the wors*aSeldom did he show any Interestin money-getting or girt giving.

"How long will the war coatttnue?" he pleaded constantly andpitifully. "I would give all Ihave—my last dollar—to shortenhostilities by a week."

But the great fortune of thamaster of Bethlehem has slippedfrom his grasp. He is the rialwho was Andrew Carnegie, wall'lug now and then out of shadow-land. "Wife, whei will the wanend?"
