THE CAPITAL JOURNAL SATURDAY, JANUARY 31. 1920. PAGE TWO. flCOIiSfilaE MAKING HAS RAPID GROWTH IN VIRGINIA HILLS Ch&rlestown, W. Va., Jan. 31. The manufacture and sale of moonshine whiskey in the mountain of southern West Virginia is claiming the close at tention of W. S. Hallunan, prohibition commissioner, who with a large force of deputle continues to raid and ar rest almost weekly. Ther have ln times In the last few weeks when the officers have met determined resistance, and al ready two men, Preston Mullens, an alleged moonshiner, and John D. Kennedy, a deputy sheriff, have lost their lives in the campaign. This fight, the most serious In re cent years, occurred In the Panther creek section of McDowell county, on the Virginia bonier. Panther creek, tne prohibition authorities say. Is one of the most active moonshlnlng dis tricts In the stats. There, according to Mr. Hallanan, have been gathert-d some of the most famous manufact urers of moonshine from Buchanan county, Virginia. They know all that la to be known about the Industry, and some of them are famed for the qualities of their "Corn liquor." Us ually their stills are extremely diffi cult to locate, but gradually the pro hibition officers are hunting them out and destroying them. There Is another kind of moon shiner In that section who Is giving the officers much trouble. He makes his moonshine as quickly as possible, markets It with the least delay, and then moves his still to some other place. The country Is mountainous and rough with many fertile valleys. These valleys, the commissioner has discov ered, were this year used to a large extent for the growing of sugar cane, the high price of sugar having driven some of the old time moonshiners to producing; what they needed for do meatlo and moonshine purposes. LABOR LEAGUE ORGANIZES FOR CAMPAIGNING . - (Continued from page one) Egyptian Artistry QBS ZS ACHIEVEMENT DAY New York, Jan. !. Crown jewels- of the Princess Sat-Hathor-Iunut. daughter of Senuseret, who ruled Egypt 4000 years before the time of Christ, and which are on exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, apparently have set a new fashion in necklaces, brooches and rings for those who patronize Fifth avenue shops. The collection now on display was found In the tomb of the ancient roy alty which was unearthed by Profes sor W. M. Flinders Petrie In 1914. Al though only one blue bead remained on the sarcophagus as a reminder of the Egyptian king's daughter, yet the Jewel casket and contents inside were found intact. It was recently purchased by the museum for a large sum. - Among the costly baubles of the Princess are shining pectorals of the deepest lapis lazuli and dainty amu lets of dark carnelian popular In the years now lost In the misty past. Her favorite amethyst necklaces as well as smaller Jewel cases and ungent Jars are marvels of artistry and skilled workmanship. One cartouche containing the name of Sat-Hathor-Iunut's father and, ap parently a gift from the king to his daughter, might have been worn as a brooch. It consists of symbolical fig ures of two birds standing on a hiero glyphic base. Over the birds' heads are cobra de capellos, or hooded ser pents whose coils form a frame for a scarab or sacred beetle. Below them is the figure of a man kneeling as if In worship. New York Jewelry shop windows at present display ornaments of plat inum and diamonds patterned after the designs of some of the Princess Sat-Hathor-Iunut's trinkets. The craftsmen of the Twelfth dynasty, un der the Pharaoh Senuseret, however, have not been outdone In skilled workmanship by the Jewelry makers of today, say connoisseurs. tlon might be raised as to who would handle the cash, and what would be come of It; and that this fee would be regarded as too great, won the reduc tion of the fee to 50 cents a month, . In a strong plea for financial bark ing by worklngmen to. the plan, C. K Btead, of the Trl!e Alliance of Wash ington, declared omphatloally: "You've go to got back of the prln clples of this thing with your dollars or take the damndest licking you ever heard of. Do this. Rack up your or ganization wtlh solidarity and you can take over the reins of the government.' ' ' ltronlutions Passed. Several resolutions were adopted during the Friday afternoon and even ing session. One oalled for the com nellatlon by the people of Oregon to their senators and representative In congress to support all "measures ap proved by Oregon through Initiative and referendum Instead of their own personal whims." The work of the railroad brother hoods In establishing co-operative store and manufactories was endorsed in a resolution passed unanimously.

He censored the delegate fur "wastelng time" arguing single tax and republican and demo crats parties, "and doing nothing, really, toward accomplishing what you tame here for." In reply to Fred Weckerloy, Port land, who championed action from the start and the admonition of the dele gates as to what Ihey should do to pro mote the plan upon reaching home, J. C. Murphy, La tirande, said: "What shall we do? Why In La Orsnde we're going to send John Clif ford to the senate on the republican ticket, and we're going to place Walter Parka In the house on the same tick tt" Politic DlrtfUNNCd.
