COMPANY BOOTLEGGARS PREY
SALT LAKE CITY. By Mail) —
The gas company is the latest victim
of the bootleggar's art according to
officers of the sheriff's office here,
who assert tihey have uncovered
moonshiners making meter tappers.
The officers state the manufacturer
of illicit liquor has no desire to a
void an “honest"’ gas bill, but he
fears an excessive use of gas will
lead to suspicion and investigation.
Consequently the last word in 1923
model bootlegery calls for a device
that forms an emergency pipe a
round the meter, giving the opera
tor unlimited gas for his operations,
without a foot of gas being register
ed.
Deputy Marshal V. O. Green, of
the Koyukuk district, who went to
Anchorage several days ago. is re
ported to have entered the Anchor
age hospital for medical treatment.
V1ETAL WORKERS NOT UNITED
MEXICO CITY (By Mail)— For
mation of the “Federation of Mental
Producers” was one of the principal
ivorks of the recently held National
Congress of Writers. The conven
tion, called to formulate measures
to improve the lot of authors, dram
>tists and poets, invited the coopera
tion of the Reporters' Syndicate
which, however, has not yet been
tonceded.
Another project approved by the
tonvention was the formation of an
rlispano-American Associated Press,
iedicated to the idea! of hastening
the intellectual union of Spain and
ter former American colonies.
The clash of ideas during the
neeting however, created such ser
ous differences among the delegates
that no practical steps were taken
to carry out the convention’s resolu
tions.
