Washington, June 14. Folks
particularly those of you who have
not sworn off completely and those
who hope to get a beer prescription
for that chronic ailment meet your
t M . W-
new proniDllton commissioner, xur.
Roy A. Haynes, a rotund, pleasant,
genial yea, jolly, little man, but
earnest and conscientious, with all.
Mr. Haynes got on the job Satur
day and after surveying the situation
pleasantly, but formally, averred to
day that he intends to enforce the
prohibition law to the full extent of
his power and called on all citizens
drinkers as well as pro-prohibition
teetotallers to help him make the
country as dry as the law contem-
olates.
About that little matter of me
dicinal prescriptions of beer, he had
found on his desk some proposed
regulations for the dispensation of
beer for such purpose, purely tenta
tive regulations which he would
study and, after maturing his con
clusions thereon, would put in final
'form.
Efficiency Watchword.
But, if in the meantime, the com
missioner added, it should appear
that congress intends to pass within
a reasonably short time the Volstead
supplementarly prohibition bill, for
bidding the prescription of beer for
medicinal purposes, the beer regula
tions will be withheld. It would be
folly, likewise a cruel and unusual
punishment, to start a lot of brew
ing and prescribing only to deprive
the invalids of tehir medicine in the
end.
Efficiency is to be the watchword
of his administration, said Mr.
Haynes. who thereupon proceeded
to speak a little piece intended for
the soulful meditation of home
brewers, patrons of bootleggers and
others.
"Do they intend to be lawbreakers
or law-abiding citizens?" Mr.'
Haynes rises to inquire.
Law Should Be Enforced.
"In unmistakable language Amer
ica has spoken for prohibition. Fed
eral constitutional provisions have
been made for it. Laws have been
enacted for its enforcement. The
law should be enforced. The man
t or woman or agency which condones
its violation; or becomes a party to
its violations; or encourages a sen
timent f laxity in regard to its en
forcement, is helping to create, con
sciously or unconsciously, a very
serious condition.
"At the very outset of my admin
istration of this office, I want to
preach the gospel of the need of law
enforcement. If there was ever a
time in the history of America
when all good citizens should unite
on a program for law enforcement,
. . .t , , .

hurch and m the press, it is today.

another is unpatriotic and un-American.
On that basis, I believe former
so-called liberals will as vigorously
aid in the enforcement of the dry
laws as those who have always been
dry. Any other policy toward law
in general means chaos; means bol-shevism."
Madame Curie Earns
Salary of $40 a Week
Chicago. June 14. Mme. Marie
Curie, who gave to the world $16,
000,000 worth of knowledge, earns a
salary of $40 a week. The clothes
she wears would be scorned by the
ordinary woman and the wife of a
plumber or restaurant keeper would
not permit her servants tti wear
them, but today she was the center
of a vast crowd of enthuiastic ad
mirers in two great receptions one
at the Art institute and another at
the railway station when she ar
rived. Mme. Curie and her two daughters
have been spending a week in the
grand canyon of Arizona and the
famous woman is highly enthusias
tic over the formations and other
beauties of that resort. Her daugh
ters are in love with the United
States and expressed the desire to
live here forever. The party will re
main here three days and numerous
receptions have been planned for
them. .
Chicago, June 14. Mrs. Cora Isa
belle Orthwein was today pictured
by the state as a heartless vampire,
who had shot Herbert P. Ziegler in
the back as he was sitting down.
This theory, if sustained, will shatter
the claim of the defense that Ziegler
had burst through the door of Mrs.
Orthwein's apartment and was beat
ing her when she shot him in self
defense. Under rigid cross-examinations by
Mrs. Orthwein's attorney, Dr. Jo
seph Springer, coroner's physician,
admitted that the bullet had been de
flected by one of Ziegler's ribs, but
he maintained that the shot must
have been fired into his back. This
testimony is considered of the high
est importance by both sides and tlit
case appears to hang upon it.
In his opening statement Prose-,
cutor Heth denounced Mrs. Orth
wein as a scheming parasite and a
remorseless vampire, who deliber
ately planned the death of Ziegler.
He stated that Ziegler was giving
her $250 a month for her suooort
and that she had no right to lock
him out of the flat
Mrs. Orthwein sobbed softly as
the prosecutor reconstructed the
murder scene. Step by step he
traversed the route from the Green
Mill Gardens to the Rainbow Gar
dens and then to her apartment,
where the tragedy was enacted.
"The state will prove," he shouted,
that this woman, goaded by jeal
ousy and the fear that Ziegler was
about to abandon her and return to
his family, steeped herself in liquor
and with the liquid tire running

through her brain she sat among the
jazz queens and kings of the gilded
cafe and deliberately plannea the
killing of Herbert P. Ziegler."
"Mrs. Orthwein was not a para
site upon Ziegler," declared her at
torney in his opening statement. "On
the contrary, she was an inspiration
to him. She pawned her jewels to
Jielp him when ie needed money.
Time and again she dissuaded hin
when he contemplated divorcing his
wife. She pleaded with him to quit
drinking and on the evening of the
tragedy, while at her apartment, he
pledged her that he had taken his
last drink. Then she washed his face,
combed his hair and sent him away.
He went straight to the arms and
lip of the 'kissing blonde.'"

Houston Harper and Charles Krecl
yesterday in district court for $5,000,
alleging that on May 21 a telegram
was delivered at the hotel notify:n"
her of her sister's serious illness, but
that it was withheld from her for 20
days and then returned to the tele
graph company.
She did not learn of the telegram
until notified of her sister's death

anguish, she says, because she did
not get to see her sister before she
died. j
