NEW LIQUOR LAW
DECREASES CRIME
Criminal Litigation. Prosecutor
Has Made Splendid Record.

Prosecuting Attorney Warner has Just
completed his semi-annual report to the
attorney general. During the six mouths
ending June 30 there were SO criminal
cases instituted in all the courts of the
county, in all of which there was not a
single acquittal, although there we're
three dismissals without trial and three
cases were settled. AS thls is the first
full six months under the working of the
amended local option law, it is a matter
of some interest to compare the report
with the first six months of 1909, that
being the last full half year under the
provisions of the old law. The official
report for that term shows there were
22l cases commenced during that time
in the several courts of the county, a
decrease 10 favor Of the present statute
of 1872 cases, just 60 per cent, which
means a saving to the people of the
county of at least $4,000. And the pecul-
iarity Of the matter is that the entire
decrease is IN the number of drunks and
dlsorderlies, there being exactly the
same number of other cases enumerated
in each report.
This is foe showing for the oper-
alton of the new statute and an equally
good showing for the public prosecutor.
Nobody is silly enough to believe that
any such showing could have been
possible if the people of this county had
voted to repeal the local option law and
permit the opening of saloons in the
county. 1t is likely to be a long time
before the majority of the electors of
this county will vote "wet."

TOWNSEND COMES HERE TODAY

Hon. Chase Townsend will tour Van
Buren County to day. He is scheduled
to speak in Paw Paw from 200 to 800
o'clock in the afternoon. 1t is probable
that he will make the address from his
automobile on the Dyckman House
corners. While there is very little
Townsend sentiment here, it is probable
the distinguished congressman will be
greeted by large crowd.

LOCALS LOST IN
PITCHERS BATTLE
Best Game of Season Won
by Bloomingdale at
Athletic Park.
ONLY ONE RUN IN THE GAME
BloomingdaIe Puts One Across in
Second. Neither Side Able to
Score After First Run.

Base ball history again repeated itself
last Friday at Athletic park, when
Bloomingdale crossed oats with the local
team. During all the years that Paw
Paw has been playing bail, there has
been no,team that the local fans would
rather see come than Blooomingdale. As
far as the games woD and lost is con-
cerned, the honors have been about even,
but win or lose the Bloomlngdale boys
are always welcome to Paw Paw. They
are a clean lot of sportsmen. No wrang-
ling or rag chewing" when they come,
and there is always ball game when
these two teams meet.
The game Wednesday, resulted in a
victory for the visitors by the score of l
to 0. 1t was the best game of the season
however, and the spectators were satis-
fed even in the face of defeat. it was
largely pitchers battle between KIM
ney and Rippey. The only run that
crossed the rubber was in the second.
Heider started the inning with base
hit, stole second, was sacrificed to third
by Davis, and scored on Rlppey's single.
Paw Paw fans were hopeful that the

there was faint ray of hope when Par

up, however, was an easy out Rippey'to

from that city explains the sit
uation: The suspension of the Nor
rell Packing plant has been averted.
The city council last night, by unani-
nous agreement, voted to petition the
board of supervisors to reduce the
assessment on the plant from s675,-
10000 to $45O,00000 This action was
taken up on the urgent plea of the
employees of the plant who were to be
laid off for an indefinite period by sus-
pension of the plant to-day and the
action of the business interest Of the
city in rallying through the CONNER
cial Association to bring about an adj
justment that would assist the operat-
ing of the packing plant. Mr.. Foster,
manager of the plant, states that the
plant will continue in operation as if
no misunderstanding had arisen.

Boys Turn Pool Room into a Prize
Ring and Batter Each Other
About the DrexeI Pool
Tables.
WAS A FIERCE CONTEST
Start Another Fight Saturday
and Encounter is Prolonged by
the Contribution of Twen-
ty-five Cents.

Quite bloody battle occurred in
the Drexel billiard hall Friday after
noon. according to reports. The place
is owned and operated by Thomas P.
Gray, commissioner of public safety,
and in view of the proprietor's alb
sence the place was converted into
a regular prize ring From what can
be learned, one of the combatants en-
gagged in quite a fierce fray with three
other young upstairs who habitually
frequent the place, and merry bat
tie was the result. Although set upon
things hum but the pool hall suffered
somewhat from the combat. 1t is
said one of the pool tables was be-
smeared with blood, chairs were up
turned and other articles of furniture
hadly misused. Quite number were
attracted by the fight, and the partici-
pants We're left hammering away at
each other and using profane Ian
guage, to the intense interest of the
spectators.
Minors Try Their Hand.
Saturday forenoon another fight was
pulled off at the rear of the Drexel
bowling and pool alley that was said
to have had its origin inside the place.
Two mere youths INDUCED in rough
and tumble fight, to the apparent sat
isfaction of many more of their kind
and tender age. and when there was
a lull in the fistic exchange a young
man who works about the Drexal al
ley threw a 25-cent piece on the
ground, with the taunt that it was
to go to the winner of the fight. This
magnanimous purse started things
again and the boys pommeled each
other until Officer Fuqua arrived and
took one of the combatants in charge,
and then the gang sneaked away. 1t
was a disgusting sight
