grand jury instead of by the state
grand jury. for then he is guilty of a
violation of the federal laws, and this
he gets into the federal court The an
tbs feel that most men will not care
to take chances on getting into the
federal court on such a charge, for it
might mean a trip and term in the
federal penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan. This fear, they believe,
will keep many a man from trying to
run blind tiger or doing a little boot

to do so.

man has government license in dry
territory it will be prima facie evidence

has no government license and still is
found selling liquor he will be hailed
into the federal court. 1t is not a very
rosy prospect for the blind tiger man
and the bootlegger.
