Oakland.—“Foul brood can do a vast amount of damage in an apiary In a very short time,” says Simon Lear, Oakland apiarist, who has suc ceeded In ridding his colonies of this disease following advice he received three years ago from an Ames spe cialist who came to Pottawattamie county, to do some special work with John n. Allison, then county agent for West Pottawattamie county. “1 discovered foul brood in my hives,” said Mr. I^ear in a recent con versation, “and I heard that t tie Ames specialist was coming to give some instructions in bee keeping. I went to Council Bluffs and visited a diseased apiary with him and Mr. Al lison and saw them give the shaking treatment for foul brood. 1 was the only beekeeper present, and I asked them all manner of questions, and the5r always Iqul a satisfactory answer for me. Then I came home and went after my own apiary to get rid of foul brood." When foul brood first appeared In his apiary, Mr. Lear had more than half a hundred colonies. Before he could arrest the disease the apiary had dwindled to six stands. Now he has built up to 18 very strong healthy colonies again, and the Increase in numbers would be more rapid, if Mr. Lear were not so much in favor of stronger swarms and fewer hives. Bees seldom swarm in the Lear aptary for he tries to control tht-m. Success In beekeeping does not de pend entirely upon the number of colonies In (he bee lot, but mostly on the strength of the individual hives, Mr. Lear explains.

Washington, Oct. 3.—Disappearance of large quantities of seized liquors from the department of justice during the administration of A. Mitchell Pal mer as attorney general, was severe ly condemned by the regular grand jury of the district of Columbia su preme court Monday. * The grand jury declared that while testimony before it was insufficient to warrant Indictment of any persons, it discloses that the liquors in ques tion had been disposed of by of ficers and employes of the depart ment of justice “with the sanction and approval of those in higher auth ority at that time,” namely between April 4, 1918 and September 11, 1920. "Such conduct on the part of offi cers, agents and employes of the gov ernment, especially those of a depart ment charged with the administration of justice, is beyond our comprehen sion and cannot be too severly con demned,” the grand Jury report de clared. Examine 28 Witnesses. The giand jury examined 28 wit nesses, including employes of the de partment of justice and bureau of Investigation and a few private citi zens. The investigation reveals that a large number of trunks, suitcases, boxes, chests and other forms of bag gage containing liquor in varying quantities from a pint to several gallons, had been seized largely at the Washington union station by agents of the department of justice and stor ed in the department of justice build ing and rented warehouse space. From time to time quantities of the stored liquors were removed, princi pally between July 29 and September 11, 1920, without proper legal pro cedure. These liquors, the grand Jury declared, were appropriated by repre sentatives of the department of jus tice to their own use and as gifts to friends, relatives, physicians and hos pitals. The poorer grades of bootleg concoctions unfit to drink were de stroyed. None was sold, the report stated. Representatives of the- department of Justice concerned with the seizure, storage and disposal of the liquors, the grand Jury declared, were “sig nally lax in not conforming the seiz ure of this liquor by proper legal process, and also by permitting it’s disposition as herein before set forth." forth." Attack Started Recently. The disappearance of stored liquors from the custody of the department of justice was made the subject of attack a few months ago on the floor of congresss by Representatives Woodruff and Johnson at the time they were waging their fight on At torney General Daugherty. The pres ent grand jury investigation is said to have resulted from that expose to shift responsibility from the present administration of the department of justice. Capt. H. L. Scaife, former investigator of the department of Justice, who furnished Representa tives Woodruff and Johnson with much of their information some time ago, wrote District Attorney Peyton Jordan calling his attention to the liquor disappearances and offering to furnish him a copy of a report, giving names and dates, that he had pre pared and submitted to the depart ment on the subject. The present investigation was car ried on by the grand jury under Dis trict Attorney Gordon’s direction.
