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.

French Honor
U.S. Bovs Who
Fought Early
July 4 Set Aside for Tribute to
American Volunteers Who
Fought Under Foreign
Flag.
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.
Soldiers, sailors, school children,
poor war widows, thousands of per
sons collaborated, giving at least one
or two sous each, if they were un
able to give more.
Such military celebrities as Foch.
JofTre, I’elain, Mangin and Weygarid
were associated actively with the com
mittees in charge of the monument
project. President Mlllerand, Pre
mier Poincare, former Premier Clem
enceau and Ambassador Jusserand
were represented on the honorary
committees.
Ambassador Myron T Herrick will
represent the T'nlted States al the
dedication exercises on the Fourth of l
July. France will he represented t.y
itR highest government officials Here
after the monument will he the renter
of a patriotic demonstration every
Fourth of July.
“Profit” in Enforcement
of Dry Laws, Say Sleuths
Fines, Taxes and Sale of Confiscated Property Bring
in Revenue Which Makes Prohibition Depart
ment More Than Self-Supporting.
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.
