NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Four Fail to Make Good in the Pro-
bate Court.

The State Temperance Union, which
is handling the latest temperance
scheme, that of taking the permits
away from all the Topeka druggists,
scored four hits out of a possible five
at their schutzenfest in probate court
Monday afternoon. The druggists were
E. Williams, proprietor of the Glenn
Wood pharmacy; B. F. Sim, 732 Kan
sas avenue; w. F. Lake, 528 Kansas
avenue, and Charles Kohl. 1901 Kansas
avenue. c. w. Mead, who was also
marked for slaughter, escaped with his
permit because the spoilers who testi-
fed against him were so badly mixed
in their statements that Judge Hayden
would not consider their alleged testi-
mony.
Attorney E. z. Marshall, of the State
Temperance Union, conducted the pros
ecution, and the defendants were rep
resented byAttorneys Hungate, Magaw,
Nichols and Steiger.
