KANSAS ANTI-DRUG STORE.
LIQUOR LAW TO BE TESTED
Missourian Applies for Injunction tc
Prevent Enforcement of Statute
Prohibiting Sale of Intoxicants


TOPEKA, Kas., Dec. 3O.-Samuel
Harrison of Kansas City, Mo-, who
owns drug store in Kansas CITY,
kas., today applied for an injunction
before Judge Pollock of the federal
court to prevent the enforcement of
the anti-drug store liquor law.
Inc drug store law prohibits the sale
of liquor for medicinal purposes by
druggists. 1t is claimed the law is
contrary to the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution of the United States
and in conflict with the constitution
of the state of Kansas, which provides
liquor may be sold for medicinal, scien-
titic and mechanical purposes.
The suit is brought to test the va
lidity of the Kansas drug store liquor
law, which was enacted by the last
legislature, and the fact that Harrison
is citizen of Missouri permits the
suit to be brought in the federal court.

PAROLED PRISONER
IS AGAIN IN JAIL
POLICE ARREST JOE DEM ON
TWO CHARGES
Young Man Who Was Principal IN
Sensational Diamond Theft Is
Accused of Robbery and
Forgery

After enjoying few weeks of lib
erty given him under suspended
sentence of three years on charge OF
stealing a $500 diamond ring from the
Angelus Jewelry company, Joe Den'
alias Joe Desmond, was again ar
rested yesterday afternoon ana
charged at the central police station
with passing forged checks and rob
bng the room of David West at the
Hotel Lelande.
Dem perpetrated one of the most
sensational diamond robberies in the
annals of the police of tins city last
summer. when he called at the An
gelus Jewelry company in a hired
automobile and represented himself as
Ernest A. Klokke, son of MAJ E. f.
G. Klokke, 2105 Figueroa street, stat
ing that he wished to look at some
diamonds. Several stones were shown
him, and the young man picked cut
one valued at 500, saying he wished TO
show it to his mother. The jeWeler
told Dem that he would go with him
if he took the stone from the store,
and Dem readily consented, saying
Jump into my ear and we will run
over to the house."
The jeweler unsuspectingly rode out
to the majors residence and waited
in the car while Dem rang the bell.
The maid appeared and after few
words the young man called down to
the merchant to come into the house.
The jeweer complied, and as he seated
himself in one of the chairs in the
parlor Dem excused himself from the
room, stating that he would call his
mother. This aroused the jeweler
suspicions to a certain extent, but
he waited until Mrs. KlolSke appeared
and asked him what he wanted. Dem
in the meantime had made his escape
through the back of the house.
He was captured several days later
in a pawn shop, where he had sold the
ring for $3.50.

JAPAN SUFFERING FROM
ECONOMIC DEPRESSION
Low Price of Rice After Record Har-
vest Causes Gloomy Outlook in
Empire of Mikado

TOXIC, Monday, Dec. 6.-The eco
nomic situation in Japan at present is
not encouraging and the looked for
business revival has not arrived. AS a
result, the depression in manufacturing
is great and the agricultural section
throughout the islands is gloomy. This
is due primarily to the low price of rice
following a bounteous harvest.
The weaving industry particularly is
hard hit by the depression A limit is
being put upon production by agree
ment among the weavers. Immediate
release from this embarrassment is not
looked for in economic circles, but on
account of the fact of magnificent
harvest and a good silk yield, together
with the recovery of the balance of
trade, which is being accomplished
rapidly, it is hoped that greater de-
gree of contentment will be brought
about by spring.
