SCI ENTS OF MODERN TIMES
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13—Co-opera
tion between nations and between the

Denial Made Vancouver
Has 7,000 Bootleggers
VANCOUVER, B. C., Jan. 14
Straight denial is given by Inspector
George Sutherland of the dry squad
to the statement attributed to him by i
Officer Bremmer of the Provincial
Liquor Board police, who, recently,
in the witness box, in the New West
minister police court, declared that
he had heard the inspector say that
there were 7,000 bootleggers in Van
couver.
Inspector Sutherland said: “If
such a statement was made by a per
son, who knew absolutely nothing
about the liquor situation, it would
sound preposterous and ridiculous. Im
agine, 7,000 bootleggers would mean
that practically 7 per cent of the male
population of Vancouver were selling
liquor.
“If one allowed two dependents to
each bootlegger — which would be
but a fair average—it would mean
that 21,000 persons out of Vancouver
population of 100,000 were intimately
associated with the liquor traffic. No
person who knew anything about the
situation would seriously make such
a statement.”
WOMAN HIRES WOMAN
LARNED, Kas., Jan. 14.—Miss Nel
lie Cline, former state representative
from Pawnee county and recent Dem
ocratic nominee for congress from
the Seventh district, has been re
tained as counsel for Mrs. Mary K.
Eggleston of this city. Mrs. Eggles
ton was convicted in November of
mixing poison in wine with intent to
kill her 69-year-old suitor, D. A.
Ely. She was sentenced November
10 to serve five to twenty years in
the Kansas state penitentiary.
Ely, who has professed his belief
in Mrs. Eggleston’s innocence since
her arrest and who announced his en
gagement to the defendant while on
the witness stand in her trial, recent
ly made a trip to Topeka to inter
cede in Mrs. Eggleston’s behalf be
fore Governor Davis. He procured
a date from the governor for a hear
i ing of Mrs. Eggleston's plea for clem
ency. That date is Jan. 15.
Mrs. Eggleston asks for a pardon
or parole before she has served a
single day of her sentence. Her ap
peal to the supreme court also is
pending, and she is at liberty on $10,
000 bond.
Petitions asking the governor not
to extend clemency are being circu
lated in Pawnee country.
Pugilist-Lumber-jack To
Succeed Billy Sunday
BERKELEY, Calif., Jan. 14.—Fred
erick R. ("Kid”) Wedge, former lum
ber-jack and prize fighter and more
lately a student with professional
ambitions, has forsaken a chance
to get his degree as doctor of philos
ophy at the Unitersity of California
to "hit the sawdust trail.”
Wedge hopes some day to take his
place beside Billy Sunday and carry
on the work of that evangelist as as
sociate and perhaps as successor.
Left an orphan when 8 years old,
Wedge worked until well along in his
twenties in Wisconsin lumber camps.
At 22 re was unable either to read
or to write. Then he met a woman
who now is his wife and the "Kid”
began to live. He shelved for a time
the reputation he had earned as
heavyeight champion of the camps
studied at night and finally entered
the University of Nebraska. During
the war Wedge was boxing instruc
tor at Camp Grant, 111.
