Followers of the no booze PROPOSE

terested in the outcome of the inves-
tigation of Attorney General Bingham.
relative to the operation of so-called
social clubs in dry" territory It is
understood that there are number Of
such clubs organized in the dry terri
tory of Wayne county which includes
all townships with the exception Of
Wayne and Jackson A number Of the
clubs have obtained charters from the
state.
II the investigation Of these clubs
warrants subsequent action, suits will
be brought to compel the revocation
Of the charters Of the institutions, all
of which are being incorporated under
the laws Of the state.
A section of the corporation law
enables persons desiring to form them
selves into corporate body for social
charter, which carries specific rights.
1t is a question with the attorney-gen-
eral as to whether among the rights
conveyed is that of enabling the incor-
pOrators to evade the intents and pur-
poses of the remonstrance law by
bringing beer and whiskey into ter
ritory voted dry" and consuming it
at q common meeting place. however
careful the directors are to see that
no person except members have the
privilege of obtaining liquor at the
meeting place. Whether the officials
move to cause general revocation of
charters. will depend on the interpre-
tation Of the law and the practices in
the clubrooms.

BROKE ALL RECORDS
Last Month Busiest August
Police Have Had in
Many Years.
ONLY FEW ASSAULT CASES

August broke all records as far as
arrests were concerned. There are
always more arrests during August
than any other month of the year, but
last month there was total of SO vio-
lations and it was the busiest month
the police have experienced for sew
eral years. The raid on Proffitt's
pool room on Fort Wayne avenue last
Saturday night did much to swell the
total, as fifteen colored crap shooters
were apprehended and slated at police
headquarters. Intoxication, as usual,
leads the list at %. There were two
arrests for grand larceny, one of
which was released, and the other
bound over to the circuit court. There
were only five arrests for assault and
battery, a new record for August. when
the pugilistically inclined generally be-
come greatly peeved as a result of the
hot weather and are very apt to give
vent to their feelings in a forcible
manner, to their sorrow. The arrests
by causes, were as follows:
Drunk, %; assault and battery, 5;
insanity, 1; suspicion. u; gambling, s;
running automobile on side walk, l:
wife desertion, /; begging, 2; larceny,

Does Bible Force Believe In

Il might cite innumerable instances
from the scriptures of spirit commun-
ication. Christ himself talked with
Moses and Elijah on the Mount OF
TRANSPORTATION. St. Paul was lifted
into the third heaven and states that
he there saw and heard things unlaw-

Mr.. Duckworth states that he can
not imagine in what manner the COM

he can explain the mystery of tele-
pathy. the relation of one personality
to another, nor has he any idea Of the
spiritual bodies or whether they are
near or far, whether, indeed, space

sin are now either in the hands of. or
claimed by the big lumber companies,
railroad and traction companies, paper

in Wisconsin is more important to
that state than to many of the other

there Is now a war on between Chief
