School Bootlegger
Being Sought By
Seattle Policemen
SEATTLE, Dec. 31.—At the re
quest of parents of two Lincoln high
school youths Seattle police today
are searching for a bootlegger who
is charged with having furnished
the toy flasks of moonshine whiskey
fcr a party of students at the home
of one of their number.
1 he fact that the boys obtained
the l.quor was brought out in an
investigation by school authorities of
a “party” at the home of one of the
students a few nights ago. Seven
teen students who participated in
the paity were suspected by the
scliot 1 board.
“We know who this man is and
are doing what we can to get him,”
William B. Sweryns, chief of policy
said today. “He has been arrested
before for violations of the liquor
law. We obfamed his name from
two cf the boys involved when their
parents asked the police to make
an investigation. As far as we
have been able to learn, the boys
obtained only two small flasks. None
of the students became intoxicated,
as far as we can learn. That doesn’t
alter the case, however, and we are
going to keep after this man until
we get him.”
The seventeen Lincoln high school
boys who were suspended by the
board admitted taking liquor to the
party but denied that there was
enough to make any of the young
people intoxicated.
“As long as some of the fathers
and mothers act as thought they
think it is smart to violate the li
quor law, we mustn’t be surprised if
the young folk do the things which
caused the suspension of the Lincoln
boys,” Thomas R. Cole, superintend
ent of schools, said today.
“The fact of the matter is, the
youths are becoming saturated with
the idea that it is smart to violate
the law. Their elders treat the illicit
obtaining of liquor as a joke, and
why shouldn’t the children?
“It is useless to talk about re
forming the young people as long
as they have that sort of an ex
ample,” said Mr. Cole. “If we are
going to do any reforming, the place
to begin is higher up. There must
be an entirely different attitude in
some of the horqes before we can
expect much more of the children.
“In our school work we are trying
to stress the importance of character
and all the qualities that make for
good citizenship but before we can
get the maximum results of that
effort we must have a little different
attitude in some of the homes.”
According to William R. Storey,
t whose home the party was held
with his daughter, a high school
IT UTri'.vri’.ir i.jry. w \.v IW'WW*
student, as hostess, he and his wife
had gone to lodge on the night of
the party. Some uninvited guests,
he said, had broken into the party
during their absence and had
brought moonshine with them. No
other liquor was in the house, he
said. Among those who appeared
uninvited, it was said, -were two
young menwho had been suspended
from another high school.
