Prosecution of Cold Storage
People for Selling Liquor.
Judge Dana Takes Cases Away
From jury.
NO EVIDENCE OF SALE
Only Thing Proved Was That
Beer Was Stored.
Attorney Drenning's First APP
pearanee as City Prosecutor.

The Acknowledgements liquor trial
did not reach the jury When the evil
dence for the prosecution had all been
submitted Judge Dana took the case
from the jury, stated that there was
no evidence whatever to show that the
defendants were guilty of violating the
law, and ne discharged them. The
prosecution failed to prove anything
except the existence of a cold storage
warehouse, the storage of beer and the
fact that r. F. Hodgins and Vincent
kaczynsld are proprietors Of the stor-
age plant.
This was the first legal battle the
new city attorney. 4. G.. Dreaming. had
to fight in the district court.
This trial gave Frank Stahl, inter
mittent city marshal of Topeka the
first chance to take a prominent part
in the affairs Of the world since he re-
tlrcd as head Of the force. It was he,
Wnlie chief OF police, who charged
Hodgins and Kaczynski, proprietors of
the Topeka ice and cold storage plant
with the illegal sale on liquor Stahl
and his officers, had seen ear loads OF
beer delivered at the storage plant.
Arrests followed and Hodgins charged
that the action was simply spite work
and retaliatory.
The case came UP for trial in the
district court on an appeal from the
police court, and Dreaming was fanked
by j. K. Codding, attorney for the
State Temperance union.

TO LOSE A TRAIN.
Passenger Service on Missouri Pacific
May BE Discontinued.

On May 1, the only Missouri Pacific
passenger train which now runs out of
Topeka. going at $3.50 a. m. to Carthage,
Nc, viii be discontinued because of a
lack Of business. A mixed passenger
train leaving here at II a. m. will be
substituted.
Fred Nipps, Missouri Pacific agent
here, said this morning that he did not
believe that the change would be made,
but that he could not say definitely.
1T is stated" he said that the line
does not pay. But 1 hardly believe that
the officials will take the train out Of
service on that account, but I have no
definite information concerning it. In
case the change is made, a mixed pas
senger Will leave here at II O'Clock in
the morning to take its place"
Secretary Anderson, of the CONNER
cial club. was asked about the matter
this morning and said: Some time ago
President Holiday took up the rumor
with the Missouri Pacific officials and
about three weeks ago Since that
time talk has been very insistent that
the train would be removed, and I am
confident that it will. It is a shame if
the Missouri decides on such a course
of action. If they do it, the business
men of this city ought to give that
concern the marble heart. We voted
them $4,000 when they came here, and
what have we received in return. Now
they want to take off the only passen-
ger train which they have running out
OF here. I do not know whether the
Commercial club win take any action
in regard to the matter"
The train in question has been in op-
Grafton for about six months. In addi-
ton to il, the Missouri Pacific daily
sends out a freight, which also carries
passengers.

ENJOYABLE RUN
California Club Members
Are Well Entertained
on Santa Cruz Outing
TOURING THE COUNTRY
They Visit the Fish Hatchery
at Brookdale and Many
Other Points of Interest

SANTA CRUZ, June 1.-THE members
of the California Automobile Club have
been having delightful time as the day
has been perfect one and ideal for the
many side trips. There was no special
programme in regard to runs. but all day
parties have been leaving the headquar-
ters at the Sea Beach Hotel for the ia
nous cliff drive. A favorite resort was to
the new fish hatchery at Brookdale.
Many went to FELTON,, Tuxedo, the
Big Trees, Ben Lomond and Boulder
Creek up the San Lorenzo Canyon and
enjoyed a luncheon in the woods Short
runs were taken to Capitola, Laveaga
Heights and the heights surrounding the
city. There was plenty of entertainment
provided for the guests at the Sea Beach,
where the Royal Hawaiian Orchestra
gave a concert.
At the Casino a big programme was
given. Benefits Band gave an open air
concert this morning from II to II and
also this afternoon. The plunge and surf
were also eagerly sought, as were the
launches on the bay. At night there were
illuminations of the Casino, the electric
pier and the esplanade. concert by Ben
nett's Band and a display of fireworks,
closing with a concert on the roof garden
by the Royal Hawaiian Orchestra.
The purple of the Elks who are here
from San Francisco was conspicuous and
they shared in the festivities. A number
of the automobilists are to remain over
until tomorrow. Many returned home
to-day, leaving in the morning in order to
enjoy their luncheon on the way home.
The favorite way of return was over the
mountains via Hotel de Redwood. Some
took the coast ride via Pescadero, Half
moon Bay and Colma along the route of
the proposed ocean shore railroad. A
few went by way of Watsonville, San
Juan and Gilroy. The verdict of all Is
that the run was the most successful in
the history of the club.
