Deluge of Dry
Law Cases
I Over 100 Alleged Violators of
Liquor Laws Congest
Federal Courts to
Enter Pleas.
Federal court resembled a league
of nations and a county fair all rolled
into one Monday morning when Fed
eral Judge Munger mounted the
liench to try persons arrested in raids
liy Robert Samardlck and agentE
working out of the office of U. S.
liohrer, district prohibition enforce
ment officer, on liquor charges.
The court room was packed to •ca
pacity with bootleggers and their
.'amines, and the crowd overflowed
.nto the corridors. More than a score
jf attorneys assembled inside the
railing in front of the judge's desk.
George Keyser, deputy United
States district attorney, called out the
names of those to be tried, to Which
'bey responded with a plea of either
.JStty or not guilty.
Due to the fact that all of the de
iendants were unable fa4#V‘o the
court room. United States District
Attorney Kinsler and Deputy United
States Marshal Thomas stood at the
door and repeated each name.
Attorneys for the defense waived
reading of the - informations against
tl f.r clients to save time. In several
.rfktances, however, in which the ac
cused had no attorney, the informa
tion had to he read, requiring nearly
10 minutes.
W. C. T. V. Were There.
In the front row of spectators were
representatives of the \V. C. T. U.
They were Mrs. Morton Zienot, Mrs.
Edith Johnston and Mrs. f■ H. Vance.
A demurrer was filed by Richard
^geffgan. attorney, asking continuance
In the cases of Dominick and Maria
Marino and Charles Green and
Charles Campus, claiming that news
paper stories and interviews given
by United States District Attorney
Kinsler referring to the present hear
ing as a legal slaughter, would be
prejudicial to his clients’ interests.
Rev. Frank H. Anderson of the
Plymouth Congregational church and
Rev. James Clyde Mahaffey were in
court with the VV. C. T. U. women.
Charles Borey of Columbus. Neb
pleaded guilty to the charges against
him, and placed himself at the mercy
of the court. His attorney declared
he lias a wife and nine children, and
►'commended that he be not given a
ail sentence.
Defendant Holds l(uh).
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Paulson. Mrs.
Paulson with a 2-year-old baby in
her arms, also pleaded guilty.
August Droze, aged farmer, en
tered a plea of guilty through an in
terpreter. The judge took all the
pleas under advisement.
When the name of Sebastlano Kop
ple was called someone said "he’s in
tail.” He was to be brought into
court this afternoon.
More than 100 defendants appeared
before the Judge during the morning
and only four pleaded guilty to the
cha 4^es against them. Attorneys for
lie accused are using a new means in
in efTort to free their clients. Nearly
ill ore filing demurrers claiming in
clent evidence, which, in any
vent, will delay trial pending hear

nern, 25, alleged girl forger, pleaded

her that he was in financial difficul

Stories
By THORNTON W. R! KOKHS.
Th# thinr that one# you wished to know
Pi oves hardly worth while llutenlna to.
—Peter Rabbit.
At last Peter Knows.
Hardly had Danny and Ntinny
Meadow Mouse got well started on
tlielr search for a new home when
they met Peter Habbit. I’eter saw
right away that something was
wrong. ‘‘Hello, folks"’ said he.
"Where are you goingT’
"To look for a new home." replied
Nanny.
“To look for a new home?" ex
claimed Peter in great astonishment.
"I thought you had a new home.”
“We did have, but we haven't any
more.” replied Nanny sadly.
"Why not?” demanded Petar.
"Hello, folks," said he, "where are
you going?”
"Because Mr. Blacksnake found It,
and we won’t dare go back there to
live," spoke up Danny.
Right then it popped into Peter’s
head that he never had found that
home, although he had looked and
looked and looked for it. "Since you
are not going to live there any more
I don't suppose you will mind telling
me where that home is which you
have left,” said Peter.
"Not in the least, Peter," replied
Danny, and his little black eyes be
gan to twinkle. “We don't care who
knows about it now. You have sat
under it two or three times."
“Wha—wha—what’s that?” ex
claimed Peter. "Wha—wha—what’s
that?”
"I said you have sat under It sev
eral times.” replied Danny, and his
bright little eyes twinkled more
than ever.
"Danny Meadow Mouse, what un
der the sun are you talking about?”
Cried Peter.
"About that fine home of ours
which we have just left, ami which
you have hunted for »<i often,” re
torted Danny.
Peter scratched a iong ear with a
long hind foot, Htid he scratched the
other long ear with the other long
hind foot, and lie scratched his nose.
"I think you are talking Just plain
foolishness. Danny Meadow Mouse,”
he declared at last. "I haven’t been
in a hole in the ground for so long
that I can't remember when I was
in one last."
‘‘What has that got to do w ith It?"
demanded Danny.
‘‘Well, the only way I could stt
under a home of yours would lie to
be down In the ground.” retorted
Peter.
"Nothing of the kind. Peter; noth
ing of the kind," replied Danny.
“You see this last home of ours was
up in a bush.”
"What?” cried Peter.
"I said it was up in a bush,”
squeaked Danny rather sharply. "Do
you remember' the old nest of Red
wing the Blackbird in the alders?”
Peter nodded. "Of course.” said he.
"I used to see it every time I passed
this way last winter.”
"That Is where we have been liv
ing.” Danny said. Then be told Peter
all about how he had put a roof on
that old nest, and what a wonderful
home It had been. Peter had to
laugh himself when Danny told how
he had been In that nest right over
Peter's head, and heard Peter talking
to himself that first time he failed
to find the Meadow' Mouse home.
"But where are you going now?”
cried Peter.
"We don't know, but we are going
somewhere where Mr. Black$nake
won’t find us. Come on, Danny; we
ean’t waste any more time,” said
Nanny.

"I can't begin to tell how glad I
am that I started on the Tanlac treat
ment. for it has built me up ten

health." declared Mrs. Nettie Jenkins,

worst kind of misery from stomach
trouble, nervousness and headaches,
and sometimes indigestion made me
so weak I had to stay in bed. My
nerves were so excited that the street
cars passing the house kept me ail
unstrung. Then I had the flu and
that left ms in a worse condition than
ever.
"I had such astonishing results
from my first bottle of Tanlac I kept
right on until now I feel like an en
tirely different person, and my friends
often remark that I look years
younger. I Intend to take a few more
bottles of Tanlac before I stop, and
I simply can’t find words to express
iny gratitude to this wonderful medi
cine.”
