Liquor Violators Ask President for Judgment ^ iclim* of McGee Jolts to 'l ake Cases to Coolidge— $20,000 Was Highest Fine Imposed. Tinge sheafs of legal documents, containing the wails of Omaha boot leggers and distillers who suffered under the wrath of Judge John F. tTen-Year) McGee, are descending in a steady stream on President Cool idge, according to Information re ceived In Omaha Friday. Five liquor law violators, now serving time in Leavenworth prison under sentences Imposed by McGee, have already appealed to President Coolidge for executive clemency, it was learned Friday. Ten others now at Leavenworth are busy preparing pleas which will he forwarded to the president soon. It was said. Stiff Penalties. The sentences Imposed by McGee, which threw terror Into the hearts of Omaha liquor manufacturers and salesmen, ranged from a year and a day to four years and a $20,000 fine. Three of the appeals sent to the president were from men given tlie maximum sentence of four years in prison and $20,000 fines. These arc Kiladelfo Capello, Tony Michlotte, and Joe Machese. The other two appeals were from Sarafino Galll, and Sam De George, sentenced to two years In prison and $10,000 fines. In addition. Rose Ballono, sentenced to a year and a day In prison on her plea of guilty, has sent an appeal to the president declaring that she did not understand the judge's ques tions, and that she desired to plead not guilty. She asks that she be given a new trial by jury. I First to Pardon Attorney. The pleas for executive clemency, ^ according to Assistant United States H District Attorney- George Keyset-, will go first to the pardon attorney at I Washington, who will present a state ment of farts to the district atotrney, i the presiding judge and the prohibi tion director before placing the mat ter before the president with a recom mendation for his action. * Keytar declared that the chances for any of the convicted violators to . til,lain clemency are extremely small. Court officials say Judge McGee has been receiving almost daily letters from the hundred or more offenders whom he sentenced to county jail ’ lei ins. The writers constantly beg fer a shortening of their sentences, i promising to stick to the "straight and narrow" ir they are given "just ’ one more chance."

Most of the little people were not particularly Interested. Mr. uid Mrs. Garter Snake are such harmless people that only young Toads and young Frogs are afraid of hem. But when the news reached old tVhltetall the Marsh Hawk and his ■ousln Hedtall of the Green Forest, they were very much Interested. Whitetall at once began to spend more time than ever flapping slowly back and forth over the Green Mea lows, lie flew io*, and his sharp pyes were all the time peering down nto the grass. Kedtall also spent a ;reat deal of time sailing back and !orth over the Green Meadows and he edg% of the Old Pasture. Both were watching for young Garter ■Snakes. Botli are very fond of them. Mr. and Mrs. Blacksnake were in erested. Young Garter Snakes were much to their liking. So they also I’lsited the place where Peter Rabbit said he had seen that big family. Fortunately for the young Garter Snake* they had scattered In all di rection*. Tney were bnbies without a home. They had no use for a home. It was some time before Peter him self saw any of them again. Then one day Peter almost stepped on one of them. He was so busy swallow ing an earth worm that he did not even see Peter. As soon as he had swallowed that earth worm he glid ed on. looking for another. Peter followed him and saw him swallow another worm. “Is that what you live on?" Peter asked. “Chiefly." replied the little Garter Snake, "If 1 can find a toad small enough for me to swallow 1 have a change In my bill of fare. Little Toads are very good eating, very good indeed, I wish I had one now." “My, but you have grown!" said Peter: • “Earth worms have been plentiful and I haven't had to go hungry. Why a houidn't I have grown?” re plied the little Garter Snake. Juat then a shadow swept over them, Peter looked up. There was Whitetail the Marsh Hawk. Peter sat i>erfeetly still. He wus under a little bush, and he felt sure that Whitetail didn't see him. In thla he was right. Whitetail didn't see him. Whitetail wasn't looking for a Rab bit. He darted down into tlie grass where that young Garter Snake had been. Rut the little Garter Snake wasn't there. He had known what that shadow meant, and he had glid ed away to safety. Whitetail flapped up and away in disappointment. No sooner had he gone than the young Garter Snake appeared. ‘‘Speaking of Toads, nice, tender, baby Toads, you don’t happen to know where there are any?” said the young Garter Snake, Peter shook his head. "No,” said he, "I don't." “I’m sorry," said the young Garter Snake. But Peter wasn’t sorry. He w*« glad.
