Federal gaugcrs arc beginning to use their measuring instruments in some of the eighteen distilleries in thin revenue district. Their activity is not the re sult of orders from Washington Tt is by tbe request of the distillers tbem elves who thirA vnrtime prohibition wilt end soon. Local officials of the Internal Revenue Department admitted that gangers are lcsumins their tu-tivitie There nre eighteen distilleries in this district, which coveis tncntj three Pennsyl vania counties. One distillery is in this litj. Morrow to Pay Ta Retailers of "hard" liquor arc hope ul, and many are borrowing money from their banks to nenntier to ult tillcra for the tax on liquor now in bond. They don't mean to be caught nap ping for a split -second if President Wil son suddenlj opens the floodgates for a liquor tidal wae. The outlook of the "wets" took two deSnlte twists today. Saloonmeu nntic ipato three months of snappy liquor selling that will give a jellow-baek tin ing to their poiketbooks. Aspiring con sumers, who failed to stock up before July 1, are placing orders for bottled SOods, deliverable when the ban lifts "There is hope," was the message flashed today to members of the Phila delphia Retail Liquor Dealers' Associa tion by James II. Pearson, the associa tion's president. Ho believes the Presi dent will end wartime prohibition as soon as the secretary of war annouuecs the army is demobilised. The War Department's announcement to that effect the other day proved onlj a flash in the pan. Secretary Baker said tbe statement did not represent his iews. It was given out by a sub ordinate in tbe department. Prices Increase Slightly Slight increases in the selling prices f domestic whiskies arc anticipated by local saloonmeu. These advances, it is 'Hewed, will cover their overhead ex penses since the end of June. But imported stock, including champagne, sherry, vermouths and cordials will be very scarce, it is predicted, with prices correspondingly high. The hotel bars are not counting on profits from a three-months' "wet" spell before constitutional prohibition '"becomes effective. Somo of the hotel bars have been converted into lunch rooms. But most of the salooomcn arc opti mistic and therefore prepared. Even somo of the ei-barkcepcrs arc beginning to long for their wbito coats and the feel of the bar-taps and narrow-necked bottles. MAY SUSPEND POLICEMAN Civil Servlco Commission Ready to Act Against Indicted Appointee "William H. Kreider, secretary of the Civil Scrvjco Commission, said today that tho commission would suspend Pa trolman Harry Hassell, now on duty at tho Twentieth and Federal streets sta tion, if the facts concerning bis indict ment on four charges, including lar ceny, receiving ttolcn goods and break ing into u freight car with intent to steal, were true. Hassell was certified as eligible for thp force by tbe com "nrfssion, and was appoiuted by Director Wilsotti of the Department of Public Safety, last Saturday. Hassell was arrested last May on a complaint by the Pennsylvania Rail road, for which he was working as de tective at the time. His case came to light -When John S. fcianlon, antl-Vare leader of the Thirty-sixth ward, with drew the bail of 55000 which ho bad put up for Hassell. Another bondsman was obtained. Powder Companies Coming Here Rapid expansion of the du Pont in terests in Wilmington bus resulted in one important industry deciding to re move to this city anil a disposition on tho part of another Delaware eoncern to do likewise.

Two fraternities, Delta Psi and Delta Fhl, for some time have been out of the interfraternlty agreement. Delta Pel was accused of violating the agree ment and was fined, the paying of the fine being followed by the withdrawal of the chapter. It is understood that the new agreement is suitable, to Delta Psi, which has urged less power for so small-a body as the council. This fact, In all probability, will mean the return of Delta Psi to the council.
