Le Roy Corliss Gets 6 Months’ % Jail Sentence Ex-Creamery Head Imprisoned for Failure to Answer Questions of Referee in Bankruptcy. I-e Roy Corliss is in county Jail. He will be there for six months. Corliss, former president of the de funct Waterloo Creamery compnny, was sent there yesterday morning by Federal Judge J. W. Woodroufch for falling to comply with the order of the court with reference to produc ing certain books and records and answering questions before the ref eree in bankruptcy. 1 The judge declared that Corliss failed to show tho right attitude toward the receiver of the defunct company in answering questions; that thousands of dollars were at stake, and that it was his duty, as former President, of the concern, to give com plete Information. Attorney Asks Delay. Thomas Allen, attorney for Cor liss, asked a delay in the execution of the sentence, but the judge re fused, and ordered the marshal to take Corliss to jail. Corliss asked to use a telephone, and called a member of his family to come and get his car, parked outside tho Federal building. On February 10, Judge Woodrough ordered Corliss to produce certain shares of Alamlto Dairy company stork, valued at $104,000, and $10,000 worth of bonus stock. When Corliss failed to comply, the i^Udge ordered him to appear and Mlsow cause why he should not be held in contempt of court. The mat ter came up week before last and was postponed, when Thomas Allen, Cor liss’ attorney, appeared and said that his client had appealed the judge's order to the circuit court of appeals and that as Corliss wag out of town, he did not know the circuit court had decided against him. Bonus Stock Missing. Yesterday morning Corliss appeared and produced the Alamito stock. Wil liam Fraser, attorney for Herbert Daniel, receiver of the Waterloo com pany, told the judge the $10,000 worth of bonus stock still wns missing. Allen declared that his client had disposed of the stock. The judge gave him until next Saturday to produce It. Then Fraser appealed to the court to force Corliss to slate what became of his personal record in connection with his relations with the Waterloo Creamery company and the Alamito Dairy company, and to show what be came of the Perry Packing company at Perry, la., which Mr. Corliss pur chased ana resold to the Waterloo Creamery company. "Kails to Remember.” Mr. Fraser contended that Corliss bought the packing company for $13,000. sold bonds to the smount of $20,000. and then resold the company. Concerning Its sale, he said, two sets 11 of minutes existed. One chronicled Its *f*le to the Waterloo Creamery com V my for $300,000 worth of Waterloo Creamery stock, and the other its sale for $180,000 worth of Alamito Dairy stock. When Referee in Bankruptcy Dun ham asked which set of minutes was correct, Corliss answered that he failed to remember, and that the rec ords would speak for themselves. His own account, alleged to Involve more than $200,000, also was missing from the records, according to Fraser. At this point. Judge Woodroug’i adjourned court for half an hour to consider the request of the referee that Corliss be held in contempt of court. Appeal Rond Denied. "It is my impression that Mr. Cor liss does not realize the great im portance of telling what he knows about this matter,” said the judge when he returned to the bench. "I think he does not fully realize his duty to thousands of persons financially interested in the projects with which he had to do, and that he did not show good faith in answer ing questions put to him.” Corliss’ sentence to jail for six months followed. Kvcn if Corliss answers the ques tions, now. he. must serve his sen tence. Appeal bond was denied. Corliss will he brought Into federal court next Saturday to be questioned concerning the mlsRing $10,000 in V mus stock. It is within the power JAa’he court to Impose an additional eIS»Anoe if he falls to reval its dls P<\Jt(on. Oklahoma Guardsmen Ordered to Henryetta (By Associated Press.) Henryetta.

Pails, June 30.—Ail France will pay tribute on tlio Fourth of July to the forerunners of the American expeditionary forces—the American volunteers who fought from 1814 to 1818 under the French flag, in the Foreign Legion, in the Lafayette fscadrille and aide by side with the French poilus In the trenches. On the Place des Ktatsl'nls, a little spot of America in Paris, will be delcated a monument to these men, “to show the Pniled States that France's recognition of Ameri ca's volunteers is ust as sincere as America's recognition of Iarfayette and his soldiers.” Many of the volunteers died for France. Their names will he chiseled on the base of the monument. Among others, the following nnmes will be inscribed: Allen Seeger, Norman Prince, Victor Chapman, Kenneth Wepks, Klffin Rockwell, Russell Kelly, Richard Hall and Earle Fisk. Slightly higher on the monument is represented the figure of Humani ty, before whom a French poilu and an American soldier are cordially grasping hands, symbolizing the per fect union of the two realized at the front. Surmounting the whole is the sta tue of an American— the likeness of the soldier-poet, Allan Seeger— dressed In a French uniform and beckoning to his countrymen to join him in helping France. The monument la the work of the noted French sculptor, Jean Boucher, who came in contact with the Amer ican volunteers when he, too, was at the front during the war. Three years of work In gathering subscriptions to the total of 400.000 francs are represented in the monu ment. Only strictly French subscrip tions werp accepted and several large sums given by Americans were re turned to their donors.

Enforcement of the iirohihitlon laws produces a "profit" through the collection of fines, taxes, and penal ties and from the sale of confiscated property, according to prohibition , agents. ' I wish I could have as my salary just 10 per cent of the lines col lected through enforcement of the boose laws after all expenses of en forcing the laws are paid," said tl A. Brunson, federal prohibition director for Iowa , It has been estimated that Hubert I’. Sainardkk, star booze sleuth, ha* obtained enough fines and penalties in Omaha to pay the expenses of prohibition enforcement of the whole state. According to figures prepared by Agent Bunson, fines imposed in the federal courts o flowa for the tirst four months of 1923 totaled 158,780 and the taxes and penalties rcc-om rbended for collection during this period were $272,311.76. lie said that in 1322 a total of $88, 645 in fines and $890,560.88 In taxes and penalties Was collected as r re sult of the enforcement of the pro hibition laws. Fine* Not All Collected. "These fines and penalties are not all collected, because of the leniency of the courts In many instances," said Mr. Brunson, "but ample money Is collected to outbalance all costs of chasing down the violators of the booze laws and bringing them to Justice." Recently In Sioux City. Brunson brought out, a federal Judge named Scott fined 22. bootleggers $6,650. Twenty other wiases of bootlegging and moonshlning brought average fines of $200 each, or about $4,000 in all. during a recent term of court at Fort Dodge, fa., he said. Here are the expenses of enforcing the prohibition laws in Iowa during 1922. as presented by Agent Brunson: Prohibition director's office force Hnd salaries .... 114.244 Salaries of field saenla 24.*42 Tr.ivejlmt expense. - 774 *!!• cltanemw expenses us stamps. evidence etc. 7 41 Total exper.ae 444.726 As tabulated to offset this, there were fines and penalties assessed and taxes collected totaling $979,205. plus $20,230 ■ htained through the sale of confiscated automobiles, or nearly $1,000,000 In ail. Cost Is Offset. .State officials of Iowa supported the thought that the collection of fines totaling $292,072.70, imposed in dis trict courts and fines imposed and collected in police and Justice of the peace courts, easily would offset the cost to the slat-- of enforcing the pro hibition laws. In Nebraska and many other mid dle western states where inquiries Were made, the work of gathering data In regard to the collection of fires and penalties and the costs of enforcing the booze enforcement laws ha* not been completed, but every indication points toward similar totals as in Iowa. Htate Enforcement < ifllcer Thomas Carroll of Nebraska is now collecting figure# which will show whether (he tines and penalties obtained through liquor convictions In this state will offset the costs of operation. 1.10 < ases Pending. Ha mar dick now has 150 cases pend ing In federal court. The lines and penalties will total more than $100. 000 State and the. city authorities also have been very active. Fines and penalties obtained from all the-' ai rests total many more thousands of dollars The judge* of both the higher and - lower courts of Nebraska have b*"-n Just as strict In enforcing the prohi bition laws as those of Iowa, federsl agents said. Htate Agent Carroll said that h* hopes to have his figures compiled within a few days.

Even so, state authori ties claim the figure would 1* swelled many times if tho fines <-o|)e< ted in all the courts of the state were add' i. "Enforcement Worth Costs." The state enforcement ,<>ut the enforcement of the prohibition law *, said: , "It is th» feeling of the at> rne-y general and myself, both of us having been prosecuting attorneys in the past, that the result of this law is so advantageous that the enforcement of the law is worth all It costs."
