The constitutionality OF the Webb
law, prohibiting the interstate ship
ment of intoxicating liquors, will be
argued before the court of appeals of
this state May Is in the case of the

Court Defines OBTAINING"

Securing the loan or hiring the use
of a horse and buggy by misrepresen-
tation does not constitute obtaining"
the outfit within. the meaning of the
statute defining the offense of obtain
ing property by false pretenses, said
the court of appeals, affirming the
Campbell circuit court in the case of
the commonwealth against Charles
McLain, in which McLain was indicted
for obtaining property by false pre-
lenses. According to the indictment,
McLain represented himself as a sales
man for concern and hired a horse
and buggy from NJ. A. Black, livery
man, declaring that the house would
pay for it. The statute requires that
the thing obtained by false pretenses
must be a subject of larceny, the court
said The use of thing is not sub
Ject of larceny. McLain merely OBJ
tanned the use of the horse and buggy,
and therefore could not be guilty of
obtaining it by false pretenses within
the meaning Of the statute.

he had a wonderful voice. Now

There are thousands of profess
sional baseball players in this
country. AS class they are just
as well behaved as any other class
of men in the community. There
is no need of the national COM
mission formulating any rules to
make "men behave before, after
and during the playing season"

CHARLES H. EBBETS, president
- of the Brooklyn club, severe
ly scored his former friend, Hor-
ace Fogel, the other night. 1t was
at the annual banquet of the Del
aware County league in Philadel-
phia. The toastmaster called upon
each of the big league officials
present to tell the young amateurs
present what the possibilities of
the game were.
All paid tribute to the youths Of
America who make the game what
it is today-that is, all but Fogel.
When called upon to speak, the
former Phillie president not only
accused everybody attached to pro-
fessional baseball, but went for
Connie Mack and said that when
Silk O'Loughlin made the famous
decision that many have claimed
cost the Athletics a pennant, Mack
said harsher things about the UNI
pire than he ever did.
Fogel was asked to stop. and
Ebbets became so boiling with rage
that he took the floor and asked
the toastmaster to have Fogel 81
fenced. There was pandemonium
for a short time, but Fogel finally
sat down and then Ebbets told
every one present the real facts in
the case. Connie Mack then in his
diplomatic way poured oil on the
troubled waters and asked the
young men to remember that Fo-
gel did not know anything about
the American league, anyway, and
that he was not competent to judge
of what went on in it's affairs.
Fogel wanted to reply to each of
the men who had answered him,
but the POSTMASTER told him that
his remarks were uncalled for, and
then the former president left the
room in a huff.
