TWILL TEST TOOLE BEER
BOTTLE OF ALLEGED BEVERAGE TO
 APPEAR IN COURT.
Judge Brown Rules That Interstats Commerce Laws Have Nothing to Do With tke
 Raid Case.

All doubt of the Jurisdiction of Judge Brown to try the Toole beer case was swept away Tuesday when the hearing evolved Into a trial pure and simple and the examination of witnesses be- gan. The latest plea of the defendants is that the conflscated beer Is guaran- teed protection under the interstate commerce laws by virtue of It's being stored for convenience pending nnai delivery to it's respective owners.
 Upon Solicitor Stern's demurrer on the grounds that the case did not in- volve interstate commerce. Judge Brown overruled the plea. The solic- itor said that the beer at the time Of its seizure was the joint property of the consignee. William J.. Toole, and the consignors, the brewery or liquor dealers who shipped the beer.
 An elaborate diagram of the Tooie premises at IA J6fferson Street was made by Solicitor stern with the as- sistance of the defendants attorney and Mir. Toole himself.
 Constables Jones and Wilson, who executed the warrant sworn out by e
 E. Sweeney before Judge Brown fol the seizure of the beer. were sworn al witnesses and they will testify Wed. nesday morning when the trial will bt continued. The court adjourned Tues day afternoon at o'clock and will bt called to order on the case again Wed nesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. A bottle of the confiscated beer vii be brought into the court room ant tested In order to prove that the seized property is beer.

Jack Farley's Flying Switch
By Cy Warman


Jack Farley was one of the old
timers 1t was through my old friend
Dick Hayes that / met him and it
was Dick who told me of his reputa-
ton.
He's an awful usher said he
Nobody knows why. and nobody'Ii
ask why, but the old man thinks more
of Farley than he thinks of any man
on the mountains If it came tc puIlin
the pin on Jack or that brass-bcund
kid O. his that's on passenger he'd let
the kid go and give Farley the punch
He's just wrapped up in Farley Train
masters fired him twice an the old
mans put him back
The "old man" was. of course. the
superintendent He was what mana
gers call hustler, and he liked Far
ley because Farley could hustle and
get over the road without -scrappingT
with the engineers
1t was as a result of one of his
usual sprees which came within an
ace OF wrecking a string of cars and
killing the entire train crew that Far
ley was discharged The sprees end
ed in case of delirium tremens,
which sent Farley to the hospital.
where he remained for several weeks
When he came out he was nervous
and pale The first time he went
down in the yards he entered his old
way car, opened little private cup
board that the carpenters had made
TO. him, and took out jug 4 few
minutes later Jack entered the Of
flee of the old man Anybody but
Jack would have asked an audience,
but Farley filed past the astonished
clerks and entered the superinten-
cents private Office Mr. Highway
said Farley, here's a jug OF bully
good whisky. / want to make you a
present of it"
The superintendent was amazed at
the mans audacity He knew that
