"STOOL PIGEONS" TO GO ABERDEEN MAYOR CALLS ON PUB LIC TO ENFORCE DRY LAW. HUGHES HEADS LEGAL AID Society to Aid Worthy Litigants Chooses New President. NEW YORK, Dec. 28. Charles E. Hughes today was elected president of the Legal Aid Society to fill the va cancy caused by the recent resignation of Arthur von Drlesen. Mr. Hughes has been a member of the organization for many years and in 1911 became an honorary vlce-prealdent. The purpose of the society is "to ren der legal aid. gratuitously if necessary, to all who may appear worthy thereof, and who are unable to procure assist ance elsewhere, and to promote meas ures for their protection." . Cyizens Are Not Co-operating to Sup press Root leggrri, but Should Do So, He Says. ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 28. (Spe cial.) The use of "stool pigeons" or secret agents In securing evidence against bootleggers will be abandoned by the city administration on January L Thereafter citizens who want the prohibition law enforoed will be asked by the administration to aid In building up a public sentiment that will drive bootleggers out of business. This will be the new policy of Mayor J. M. Phillips, according to his statement made today. He said the dry law was not being enforced as well as it might be, due to the fact that the citizens were not co operating with the administration in seeing that the law is enforced. "I have never believed in stool-pigeon methods, so after January 1. 1917, no man shall be used in any way secretly to obtain evidence against any of these violators of the dry law. I shall ex pect the people to assist In enforcing the dry law. It Is their law." The Mayor declared that all who try to enforce the dry law should be abso lutely dry. No member of the police force should touch a drop, he said. "I have not touched a drop of whisky. brandy or beer since the dry law went Into effect. said Mayor Phillips. "I have not suffered. We are all better off without booze." gal opinion on the subject the Secre tary of State assumes that the amend ment is broad enough to restrict the Legislature in its appropriations, but declares, at the same time, that the budget estimate can be pruned so as to meet all of the necessary require ments and not cramp the needs of the state. In his interview on the subject, Mr. Olcott said: No Suffering; Likely. "From a careful review of the numer ous items constituting the budget I am clearly of the opinion that none of the state institutions or departments need suffer severe curtailment of the appro priations necessary for their proper maintenance. Wnlle the total of the estimates submitted is 1716.000 above the visible revenues, this Is but in keeping with the total Of former budgets which have, always been greatly in excess of the amounts actu ally appropriated. "It must also be taken Into consider ation that many of the estimates a. based upon a maximum of operation. Further, there are many requests for new buildings, improvements, better ments and equipment; for exploitation, for ihvestlgation of the natural re sources of the state, for enlargement of the scope of departmental activities and for other purposes, the accomplishment of which can well be deferred. Misapprehension Held Needless. "It Is by the elimination of such items and a careful investigation of every request for the appropriation of public moneys for any purpose, com bined with the consolidation of such boards, commissions and departments as are feasible, and that will make for greater efficiency and economy that I believe every 6tate activity can be ade quately provided for without exceed ing me limn or tne e per cent tax limitation amendment. "I cannot but feel that considerable misapprehension exists in the minds of a large number of our citizens which is not warranted by the facts and be lieve that a careful analysis of the items of the budget will convince the Investigator of the soundness of my statements. "As I view it, the people enacted thle constitutional provision for the express purpose of limiting the expenditures of public moneys and a general re trenchment, and believe that no serious obstacles will be encountered by the members of the incoming Legislature in adequately providing for every nec essary state requirement within its limitations." Dark-eyed Indian maids and a awar- thy chief, the last of a famous Dakota tribe, are headlining an excelent holi day bill that opened yesterday at the Hippodrome Theater. Chief Little Elk and the two girls are among the few i American Indians on the stage and are really people of talent. A dance cen turies old was presented by the chief. They are all singers, too, with fine voices, and their costumes are unique. Queer Indian music and an outdoor set ting are also features. Gymnasts, and unusual ones at that. are the four Milanos, whose closing of fering is an oddity in acrobatic acts. They are strong people, the girl and three men. Jack Lamey has a lot of fun and gives the audience a lot more. He's a nig, bright spot on the bill, and his smile is a gloom-chaser. He sings and trips about the while he teases the audience and everyone seems to like him. . The Arthur Guy blackface trio pro vides an act of minstrel mirth and songs. They dance and sing and Joke. A blonde, vivacious and comic, and singer are Gladys Van and. Arthur Pearce, whose fun and song are ap preciated. "Getting a License" and much ado about a party are their specialties. The thirteenth episode of the thrill ing serial. "The Shielding Shadow," is holding the interest of the public and rapidly approaching the great climax that has been promised by the pro ducers.
