A MICHIGAN woman has recovered by
law all the money that her husband had
spent in liquor saloon for six years. The

LIQUOR as ''property," and the woman re-
covered the money on the ground
that it had been paid to the liquor
yender without consideration. After this
verdict gets to be well understood through.
out the State very few men will be found
courageous enough to undertake the retail
LIQUOR traffic within its limits.

y Special to the Union and American.
WAsHNGToN, April 9.-Gov. Senter was
