THE MORXIXG ORFGOXJAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1922 BUCKMJUL PLOTS FEATURE CAMPAIGN Bay State Scandal of Few Years Ago Recalled. NOTORIOUS RING BROKEN Man Who Routed Lawless Offi cials Xow Opposing Governor for Gubernatorial Nomination. BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNIXG. 'By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) BOSTON, Aug. 21. Some of those wicked deeds that cast their beams r.far in a good world are illuminat ing the political contest in Massachu setts, where the enforcement of vir tue by statute in the days of the Puritan blue laws was first tried and found wanting. It seems there has been consider able trouble hereabouts in enforc ing the Volstead act in high places, reminiscent of the difficulties 6f en forcing the colonial law prohibiting the connubial kiss on Sunday. One still hears reverberations among the prohibitionists of the up heaval caused by that dinner at the Quincy house a year or more ago. Governor Cox was the guest of honor and all the republican bigwigs- were on hand. An ample sup ply of liquor had been provided, an important republican politician transferring the stock to the hotel under a permit issued "by the local republican prohibition agent. A room adjoining the banquet hall constituted the refreshment parlor, so that liquor was not actually served at the table, but considerable absenteeism was noted at the board until the liquor supply suddenly gave out. Something: Tragic Happens. Xow the reason the liquor gave out was a tragic one. In the midst of the festivity, when political en thusiasm was running high, when the republican strategists were trooping back from the refreshment parlor with perfectly corking cam paign ideas, when the democrats were being doomed to extinction in the post-prandial oratory, right at that glorious moment the place was raided. In stalked Harold D. Wil son, field director of the prohibiton forces in Massachusetts, accom panied by what looked like a regi ment of piano movers. General Wil son deployed his forces, executed an encircling movement, occupied the' refreshments parlor, routed the en emy at his libations with unfeeling disregard of the unquaffed drink, and pinched the bar. The dinner was thrown Into an "uproar. Indignation ran high. Some wanted to give battle, but. in view of the presence of the governor, r:ore prudent counsels prevailed S on the piano-movers were filing out, each with a case on his shoul der, and the dinner was left high and dry. Well, the first thing Mr. Wilson knew he was fired by order from Washington and Senator Lodge was credited with inspiring the order. Wilson said he had been punished for doing his duty, maintaining that the liquor had been unlawf i:ly -sup- - p!:ed to the republican din:ier. Wllfton Cites II is Courage. ' Now Wilson is a candidate for the republican nomination for attorney general on a platform in which he . calls attention to his "unquestioned honesty and courage to carry on when In the right r.gardless of con sequences." The drys are strong for him for attorney-general. Governor Cox, who is a candidate for renomination. appears to have emerged from the dinner episode unscathed. He was only a guest and was ignorant, it is is explained, I. of the presence of liquor. Cox seems to have made an excellent record as . governor, one that his opponents have found it difficult to attack. The raided dinner, however, is furnishing a text for the campaign speeches of Attorney-General Allen, who is the opponent of Governor Cox for the gubernatorial nomina tion. The Cox faction has contented itself with the Issuance of a state ment informing the public that Mr. Allen was "the only state official not invited" to the dinner. Allen's Achievement Noted. But this is only a sidelight on the situation. It is his success in wiping out a condition of wickedness of far deeper dye that has furnished Mr. Allen with solid ground for his hid for the nomination. It w.-vs he who forced out of office the Massa chusetts law enforcement officials held responsible for the operations with impunity of one erf the most extraordinary rings of blackmailers ever exposed. The whole country heard of the movie magnate's wild party. at a , roadhouse not far from Boston at which, it "was reported, a galaxv of - Babylonish beauties staged a "dis robing act a party which cost many thousands of dollars to begin with and many more thousands .afterwards to avert threatened pros ecution. It seems that this was only one of Innumerable instances of black , mailing de luxe of which the .public never heard. Something like a reign of terror among rich Boston ians is said to have been created by the blackmailers, who operated fear lessly and almost openly for several years. The rascals made their rich est hauls with frama-ups on the principle of the "Badger game." Forelcn Singer Shocked. One of the victims was a foreign singer whose experience is related as typical of the mode of procedure of the blackmail gang. The singer, after his concert, had retired to his hotel room. He was undressing when suddenly the door of the clothes closet opened and out stepped a woman attired in nothing much more thana. camisole'or what ever it is. Tou can imagine how disconcert ing, nay, flabbergasting, this appari tion was, even to a foreigner who had heard much of the lavish, hospi tality of those Americans. "'What did the gentleman do? Why, he did or was about to do exactly wbat you or I would have done, when t something appalling happened. This was a case of the lady and the tiger.. The lady having stepped out of an inner door, the outer door burst open and in sprang the tiger in the shape : of a burly man professing to be the . lady's husband and pretending a . consuming wrath. He was accompa , . nied by several other glowering in dividuals wearing what purported to be insignia of the law. The singer paid the blackmailers to the tune of $40,009. I was in formed.

It is an unusual picture, remarkable for Illumination, elaborately staged and dramatically compelling. At the opening it ap pears complex, but as it progresses its power and charm seizes the spectator. The work of Miss Reed is excep tional. She assumes four distinct roles in this production, and she handles each splendidly. Scenically, it is a pretentious offering, being a scintillating epitome of Parisian life. The scenes leap from the peace ful episode of an English ride to the hunt to the barbarous splendor of a court of ancient Rome, running the scope from women of refine ment to the wild abandon of the Parisian Apache dancers. It is r. whirlwind of emotion and action. The picture Is big. broad- guaged and colorful. Its scenes are so numerous and so vastly far apart in conception and illusion laai con stant interest is excited, i Through it all a throbbing tale of iove and adventure, of environment and of destiny's control winds its way. Progressively, and particu larly toward the end, the action be comes dramatic to a point of in tensity that cannot be denied. Screen Gossip.

Golf Facts Worth Knowing. BT INNtS BROWN. Q. What is your decision In a case like this: A chain of sand traps runs along tha aide of the fairway, though each trap is. separated from the adjoin ing one by & narrow strip of turf. Player's ball stops In one trap. Player walks into one, Just beyond and takes a swing to determine the condition of the .and. poea he incur a penalty? A. This looks like a clever and suc cessful evasion of the rules. The rules place no restriction on what a player may do except In the hazard in which his ball lies. Q. What Is the ' advantage to be gained from the bulged-faced clubs which are becoming so popular of later A. The theory of the bulged-faced clubs, which are slightly concave at the heel and toe, is that this slightly round ed surface compensates somewhat for error in bringing the club face In con tact with the ball at exactly right angles to the deoired line of flight. Q. in a four-ball exhibition match A bets B that neither player In the match will go around in 76 or better. In the course of the match each of the four plpayers at one hole or anotner picks up after his partner has holed in as few or fewer strokes than h can. The re ports of the match the next lay credit two players with making '74s Can B collect the wager? A T3 In nn( ntitlfA tn nollert the) wager. In playing for a medal score a player must hole out on every green. Of course. A and B could have avoided the controversy by providing or pick up in advance. Q. In a recent maatch my opponent's ball stopped within a few inches of a woven wire fence. In playing his next stroke he had his caddie go to the other side of the fence and pull the wr as faraway as he could. Was he entitled to do that? A. Certainly not. He lost the hole by so doing. Q. is there any penalty if, on the putting green, a player lifts the ball to avoid casual water and then drops it instead of placing it? A. Yea. He loses the hole In match play and is disqualified in medal play. Ringside .Randoms. Battling Ortega may box Jack Reeves in Butte, Mont., Labor day.
