Central W Warehouse
fleeCed Out OF $5S.5S

Mr.. H. M. Dodd, manager OF
the Central wareho use, was
cleverly fleeced out of $58.5S
Saturday, and other warehouses
should take a lesson from his
experience, lest they too stun
Die upon the same trick.
1t happened like this: The
Central Warehouse received a
bale of cotton Saturday morning
which had been ginned at the
Farmers Union Warehouse and
sent over to them. The tag on
the bale bore the name Of w.
T. Cobb.
Presently a negro came in,
representing himself to t h e
warehouseman, Mr.. Martin Ro-
bitzsch, as Cobb. Mr.. kobitzsch
told him he had had bid on the
cotton and after being autho-
rized by the negro, sold it, Civ.
ing the negro a check for SIS. So.
During the noon hour, Mr.. Dodd
relieved Mr.. Robltzsch and the
real Mr.. Cobb came and inquir-
ed about his cotton and Mr.. Dodd
showed that the check book in
dlcated that Mr.. Robitzsch had
already issued a check for the
cotton. M r. Robitzsch W a S
called to the warehouse, and it
was readily seen TINT they had
been duped, whereas Mr.. Dodd
made another check for the
amount and gave it to the right
man.
Officers are looking for the
negro who drew the check, repre-
senting himself to be Cobb, and
when captured, he will no doubt
receive the limit of the law, and
it is expected he will implicate
Others in. the plot, as the negro is
not thought to be shrewd enough
to concoct such a scheme unassist-

IDAHO EX-SENATOR NAMED
LOBBYIST BY POiNDExTER
Fred T. Dubois, Says Washington Sen
ator, Approached Him as Worker
for interests Of Idaho Lead Pro-
ducers Though He Admits No I'm
proper Methods Were Used.

Washington-Ex-S Senator Fred 7.
Dubois of Idaho probably will be sum-
moned to appear before the senate
lobby investigation committee to ex-
plain the charge made by Senator
POindexter that he (Dubols) was a
lobbyist working in the interest of
Idaho lead producers Senator Poin-
dexter said Dubois had not resorted
to improper means to influence the
votes of senators on the lead tariff,
but he understood him to be employed
by representatives Of the north Idaho
lead producers working for duty on
lead and on that charge Dubois will
probably be called to explain.
Senator Poindexter made the COM
mittee sit up when he named sew
eral former members of congress
whom he believed might be found to
have practiced lobbying here. He

WEBB LAW is NOT A
CRIMINAL STATUTE
State Laws Will Operate to Punish
Interstate Traffickers in Intox-
cants.

Washington, June 19.-The Webb
law forbidding interstate shipments OF
liquor into dry" states, is not a Grim
inal statute, and violations of it can
not be prosecuted in United States
courts. Attorney General McReynolds
so declared in instructions sent today
to every United States attorney in the
country. The law merely prohibits
such interstate traffic and contains nc
penalty for instructions.
''Its purpose said the attorney
general, ''is to permit state laws to
operate in respect of Intoxicating
liquors moving in interstate COM
merce."
The law simply deprives shippers of
any privileges they might claim on the
ground of interstate commerce and per
mits the application of state prohibit
ton laws to interstate commerce in
liquors.
This is the first time the department
Of justice has construed the Webb law,
which was declared unconstitutional by
former President Taft and former At
torney General Wickersham.
President Taft vetoed the bill on the
ground that it made the interstate COZ
merce clause of the constitution null
1t was passed over his veto.
Attorney General McReynold's inter-
probation is said to mean that the fed
eral government is not called upon to
enforce a law for the violation of
which no penalty is imposed, and that
the interstate commerce forbidden by
the law is "outlaw" commerce in re-
gard to which the states are free to
apply their statutes. The attorney gen
eral did not attempt to pass upon the
penalty of the act, and it is believed
that this question ultimately may
reach the United States supreme court

RORAH SHOWS THE NEED AND
URGES RELIEF FOR SETTLERS

Washington-Senator Borah Tues
day read to the senate a letter of a
homesteader in Oregon, calling atten-
ton to his inability, and the inabil-
ity of many others, to comply with the
cultivation requirement of the three
year homestead law, because of the
rough and timbered character of his
land, and asking for relief. On tho
basis of this letter Senator Borah
urged the public lands commission to
take up and report his bill amending
three-year bill by permitting home
steaders, in lieu of cultivation, to show
improvements of their land to tho
average value of $3.50 for each acre
entered. Senator Borah will renew
his request unless the committee takes
prompt action.

PATENTED NEW PLOW
Invention Of Idaho Man Which Will
Be Help to Farmers

Cambridge, Ida., June 19-Lem
Brown, dry farmer Of this vicinity,
is just completing a patent for re
versible gang plow which promises in
large measure to revolutionize dry
farming in the hilly districts. The
plow can not possibly be upset even
in turning around on a steep hill for
there is sharp rim around the whee
and the rear furrow wheel always runs
solid. 1t is built low, being but five
inches higher than the ordinary gang
plow.
E. H. Swisher, one of the largest
dry farmers in this vicinity, is inter-
ested in the new patent and is aiding
in securing patents in seven foreign
countries. Mr.. Swisher thinks the in.
vention will give big impetus to
dry farming in all districts where it
is necessary to turn the soil down hill.

Washington, June 13.-Rather than
engage in personal encounter with
ex-senator Fred Dubois of Idaho Sem
ator POindexter yesterday went be-
fore the lobby investigating committee
and publicly retracted chargeshe made
last week that Dubois was a lobbyist.
When Poindexter's charge was
brought to the attention of Dubois
he camped on PoindeXter's trail and
finally found him night before last.
He accused Poindexter of deliberately
lying about him and demanded of Poin
dexter whetherhe knew personally that
he (Dubois) was a lobbyist. Not only
did Poindexter admit that he knew no
such thing, but said he had no proof
of his charge and had based it merely
ON hearsay.
Dubois then told Poindexter in pain
fully plain language that he had stated
before the committee something that
was untrue, and told him it was up
to him to publicly retract.
Poindexter sought to get off by tell
ing Dubois that he could when sum-
moned tell the committee he was not
a lobbyist and could prove that Poin-
dexter's charge was unfOunded and
that would clear up everything. That
was not satisfactory to Dubois. He
said he would not go before the COM
mittee to do any such thing but that
Poindexter having made the charge
could go back and publicly retrac,
what he had said and explain that he
did not know what he was talking
about when he accused Dubois of lob
bying, "and remember" said Dubois,

our way who make a practice of lying
about others. You retract what you
said about me or I'll hold you per-

Dr.. Bauah vindicated BY Jury


The jury in the case of the State
against DR.. Baugh for alleged sale or
intoxicating liquor returned a verdict
of mot guilty." The case consumed
four days and was delayed somewhat
by the absence of the States witness
es. The State was unable to identity
some of it's exhibits and the defendant
refused to put on any testimony stat
ing that man was presumed to be
innocent until proven guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt. After argument to
the jury by the County Attorney and
the defendants attorneys the court
instructed the jury by largely quoting
the exact words of the statute and
the law, the jury being the judges of
the fact. Sometime since his arrest,
DR.. Baugh received letter from some
one in Portland, signed and with the
residence address offering to give the
detectives hired by the State employ
ment in California SO that they would
not appear, but instead of accepting
the offer, DR.. Baugh refused to an
swer tho letter and the same has
been delivered to the sheriff's office.

Through Army
Road to Tybee
Plan Is Revived
Chamber of Commerce VIII Be
Asked to Urge Federal
Appropriation.

SAVANNAH, July 5.-The PROPOSE
tton to build a through highway from
Savannah to Tybee, making 1t a mill
tary turnpike, doubtless will be re-
vived at the July meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce. Arthur w.
Solomon, director in the Chamber.
and secretary of the Savannah Auto
mobile Club. will bring the matter up
for consideration.
Two routes were considered a year
ago. One was via Wilmington Is
land, making the turnpike contin-
uation to Tybee, with a ferry as a
means of crossing Wilmington River.
The other scheme was to have the
road parallel the Tybee branch Of the
Central Of Georgia Railway, which
would reduce the number OF streams
to be crossed and make 1t possible for
the same bridges used by the railroad
to be used for the highway.
Under the old scheme IT was plan
ned to have the road built by pr1-
vate parties in cooperation with the
Federal Government. 1t now is
planned to have the matter taken up
by Chatham County's Representatives
in Congress. with the idea OF secur-
ing the passage OF bill appropriat-
ing money to defray the cost Of con-
structtng the road.
