Imprisonment which lsidor Sommerneld
through his father, as guardian, has
brought against Police Justice Tantor,
Is only one of several which 1t Is said

without proper evidence issued search
warrant, and that the arrest was made
at the same time.

Manuel Garcia Cigar Company induced
Justice Talntor some time ago to issue
seventeen warrants for the arrest Of
cigar-boX makers and label manufac-
turers, claiming that the Manuel Garcia
box and labels were being counterfeited.
out of that number one Indictment was
found. Justice Taintcr then issued TWEEN
ty-two search warrants for cigar dealers
stores, and In one of the searches young

again, until 1t seemed that nothing but
fun, wit and humor could be found in
such a proposition.
