TO STOP LIQUORS Al
DRY STATE BORDERS.
Bill Restricting Interstate
Shipments is Introduced
National House.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. B.
Representative Langley. of Ken
lucky, has introduced the Interstate
liquor shipment bill prepared BY the
Anti-Saloon League of America to
obyiate the objection of unconstitu-
tionality urged against the Little
field bill.
The objection to the Littleheld
bill was that 1t made Interstate
shipments of liquor subject to state
laws Immediately upon crossing the
boundary, which was claimed by It's
opponents to be an attempted delega-'
ton of congressional power and,
therefore, unconstitutional. The
new measure provides for direct ex-
ercise Of congressional power by It
self prohibiting the shipment of or
transportation of LIQUOR to any
state, territory or district of the Uni
ted States, or part of same, where
such shipment could not legally be
made within same. 1t is designated
to protect both prohibition States.
and dry territory within local option,
States.

LA WFUL LOBBYING
WAUGH BILL SEEKS
To Establish and is Misnamed
When Called Anti
Lobbying Bill.
(By Charles Brooks snlith.)


CHARLESTON, Feb. delegate
Roy Waugh, of Upshur county has
been successful in getting his anti
lobbying bill up to third reading in
the House. 1t was the first bill In
troduced in that branch when the
legislature convened. Strictly, 1t is
mis-termed when designated as an
anti-lobbying measure. 1t is not
against lobbying, but seeks to legal
ize, legitimatize and regulate that
much-belieyed-to-be remunerative
employment. If this bill passes,
lobbyists will be classed as registered
live stock, stamped with the great
seal by the Secretary of State, adorn-
ed with tag and permitted to lob
by to their hearts content. They
may button-hole legislators, hold
levees and hang themselves on the
pegs in the galleries.. But they
can't go on the floors of the legis-
lative chambers, tagged or untagged,
unless especially invited by former
action of whichever body pines for
their presence. To your average
lobbyist that would be no painful
hardships, nor putting an embargo
against him entering the Capitol
would interfere with his business to
any alarming extent. For your av-
erage lobbyist who has the brains
to deserve the complimentary deslg-
nation, doesn't do business under the
dome of the big building. The right
bang-up ones never enter its portals
from the beginning of session to
Its close. The Waugh bill seeks to
compel their resignation. showing
by whom they are employed and for
what, and to do away with the soft
pedal practice of the gum-shoe art
list, and to compel the certification OF
an itemized salary and expense &C.

POLICE OFFICIAL CONDEMNED
NJ. Lopukine Sentenced TO Five Years
for Giving Away Secret to
PlOtters.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.-M. Lopu-
kline, a former director OF police, who was
arrested in ST. Petersburg last January
on the technical charge that he was a
member Of the revolutionary organization,
was today condemned to five years i'm
prisonment at hard labor.
NJ. Lopukine asked to be admitted to ball
pending an appeal. 1t is reported that
Emperor Nicholas has decided to remit
the sentence OF Imprisonment, considering
that NJ. Lopukine has been sufficiently
punished by his preliminary confinement
in a fortress and the loss of his rights as
a nobleman.
The trial developed nothing sensational.
M. Lopukine was found guilty of know
ing of the existence Of a plot aiming to
overthrow the state by armed uprising,
terrorism and ~resicide, and of participat-
ing therein by betraying the official
secret of Azef's connection with the police.
thereby removing an obstacle to the Grim
lnal activity of the plotters- and rendering

HORN MINE NOT A BONANZA
Arizona Mining Engineer Testihes In
Fraud Case at Kansas
City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 1S.-Dr, w. w.
Lewis, a mining engineer of Prescott,
Arlz., who examined the ore of the Two
Queens mine in Arizona before the prop
erty was developed, testified today in the
case against Horn Bros, Raymond p.
May and s. H. Snider, who are charged
with using the mails to defraud in exploit
ing the mine.
DR.. Lewis testified that the samples of
ore which he found in the property justl-
fled an investigation, but that the develop
ment Of the mine early showed discourage
ing results. He said the mechanical work
of development was of a high order, but
that much of the work done was ill-ad-
vised. Judge Crum of the defense objected
to the methods OF the district attorney in
asking IL certain work done on the mine
was advisable on the grounds that the
opinion of the witness should not be ex-
pressed in this case. Judge Phillips decided
that as the issue in the case was whether
or not the defendants were doing a legiti-
mate mining business or exploiting the m ne
by making false representations the wit
ness as an expert could state the facts as
to whether the work done In development
was justified. The witness said about two
fifths of the work vas ill-advlsed.

Dan O'Brien Dead,
Dragged by Cow
Eight Year-0ld Son of Engineer
o'Brien is Victim of a
Peculiar Accident

Daniel O'Brien, the S-year-old son of
Patrick j. OBrien, an engineer on the
Union Pacific, residing at 1891 Webster
street, was fatally hurt in an accident
about $50 yesterday afternoon. He was
taking the family cow home from
q small pasture where she was
kept and, It is thought, tied the rope
around his wrist. The COW started to run
and pulled the little fellow down, drasging
him for about two blocks over a rough
cobblestone pavement. When picked up
he was unconscious and so ~entangled in
the rope that It was with difficulty that
he was freed.
DR.. t. j. Dwyer was called and at once
ordered that the boy be removed to st.
Joseph's hospital, where an examination
was made. 1t was found that he had re-
ceived serious scalp wounds and the skull
was fractured. The boy died at l o'clock
this morning.

Juror Tried to
Borrow from
Lawyer in Case
Simply Commits an Indiscretion,
Nothing More Serious, the
Judge Decides.

Frank Dworak, a juror In the suit Of
Jarecki against Franek in district court,
was discharged from consideration OF the
case at the eleventh hour and for a few
moments came very near being held under
a grave charge.
Dworak was indiscreet enough TO try to
borrow money from Alvin F. Johnson, at
torney for the plaintiff, during the progress
of the trial.
johnson promptly reported ii to Judge
Sears, who, after a consultation with all
the attorneys in the case. dismissed
Dworak. 1t is the opinion of the court and
the attorneys that Dworak was simply in
discreet, but the lndiscretion was grave
enough in the circumstance to e%ndanger
for a time Dworak's liberty.
Dworak declared that he wanted 81 for
car fare in a telephone message to At
torney Johnson. who told the man at once
that his trying TO borrow money when en-
gagged on a case from an attorney therein
was the most serious sort OF mistake.
1t appears that AL Keenan's arrest Tues
day afternoon disconnected Dworak, who
hoped to get an advance from keenan, on
his warrant. Failing to find keenan, he
telephoned in the evening to johnson and
when court convened the next morning
"wednesday Judge Sears called In john
son, who had told him of Dworak's action,
and Attorneys Hamilton and Pancoast,
who represented Franek. the defendant.
with the attorneys agreeing that the case
should go on with Dworak out Of 1t the
case proceeded until noon, when the eleven
men left found a verdict for plaintiff.
Dworak was not dismissed from the
panel. 1t is said that he has borrowed small
sums from a court house official since he
first appeared on the panel. The mans
past record is a clear one.

JURY HUNG ON CHINESE

On AIl-ImpoFtant OseuIatOry cues
tIOn He Ayers Roy Harris DID
'KIssee Mexican GaI"--GirI
Involved Denies II. 81

HALLS, he kissee Mclean gal"
So declared Llu Wing, defendant in the
great AngL0-Mongolian damage suit, in
county court, which ended yesterday even
Ing with honors easy, the jury having
disagreed. Liu's testimony Is in contra
diction to that the the Mclean gal in
volved. who in the morning deposed that
Harris simply tried to kiss her, did not
land, so to speak.
1t might not appear at first sight that
the question of Roy Harris osculatory
endeavors had aught to do with the oues-
ton whether he was entitled to damages
from Liu Wing, All Sue, Sing Lung, Chop
Suey and the other defendants in the case.
However. the Chinese claimed that Harris
was not the best waiter iE the world the
morning they bounced several things at
the Golden Ea gle observation-disclosures from
his Job and a pie plate on his head. 10
say nothing of several pairs of Fiowery
Kingdom fists which impinged on the Har-
rs Uranium with telling effect.
The defense maintained that Harris had
looked on the cup which cheers, and also
inebriates. before he came late to work
that morning. and that he did everything
Dut wait on guests at tne CeleStlal care
terra. Hence the importance Of the al
legged kissing Of one or other of the two
white girls, who also worked at the, res
taurant.
Rose Hamilton, young and at least as
good looking as the average waitress, tcs-
titled for Harris and was quizzed as to
whether she had been kissed. He tried
TO, but did not succeed was her answer.
Asked II Harris Rugged her, Miss Hamil-
ton admitted that Harris attempted to ex-
ecute a clutch, but she broke the hold.
Thus the matter stands. Liu Wing is
OF unimpeachable veracity. but It must
be admitted that Miss Hamilton is in a
better position to know, and possibly the
Oriental mistook the endeavor for the
achievement.
There were four men on the jury in
county court, two of the six, which is
the total in county court cases, having
been excused, There were shut up for
several hours in the afternoon and they
deadlocked tight. Three thought that the
Manchus had not used more than justifi-
able energy in impelling Harris out the
door and the other man was firm that
Harris ought to get the $1,000 asked for
being beaten up by the Tartars,

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. May 1S.-The
Missouri house OF representatives adopted

Because of the rush of business that will

A majority of the joint committee is be-
lieved TO be in favor of eliminating the
senate tax rider. but whether the uppe
house is in a mood TO recede from this
feature is a big question. Its previous
action would indicate that IL is not.
Likewise the lower branch seems as
