Austrian and German
Racing Horses Seized
By English Government

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Oct Next to the
German ships seized by the govern
ment since the outbreak of the war
probably the most valuable prizes of
war are the racing stables in England
formerly belonging to Germans and
Austrians but now the property of thu
Board of Agriculture and Fisheries.
Shortly after the war broke out a
London paper published a list OF
horses owned by Germans and Aus
TRANS and racing under their colo.s
on English tracks. Acting on this
hint and profiting by an old act which
allows private informers to claim a
share of the sale proceeds, a number
of citizens brought actions and horses
valued at half million dollars wern
seized.
Among the horses seized were the
stable belonging to Baron Springer and
managed by the veteran trainer But
tiers at Newmarket. In this stable are
Adular and Aides, bred by the Hun
garian government stud and lent to
Baron Springer for racing purposes
only. Adular valued at 100000, has
not yet been advertised for sale but
Aides and Bolond, another member Of
the same stable. will soon be sold al
auction at Newmarket.

Y. Sherman, the Republican candidate.
is no such citizen as Penrose, but he
is an oldline Republican. In Penn
sylvania the Administration is COM,
mitted to Palmer and must stand by
him. In Illinois the Democrats have.
nominated what half the Democracy
believe to be a bad candidate, yet he
is preferred to a clean Progressive,
who. although not a Democrat, is
Republican.
Thus 1t may be seen that politics
again is making strange bed fellows.
The mastery of Woodrow Wilson prob
ably never has been better shown than
in compelling to work tokether as
members of his Cabinet such irrecon-
cilables as Bryan and Burleson on the
che hand, McAdoo and Houston on the
other To save his own power as
President. Mr.. Wilson has given them
all their heads in the brief campaign
of 1914. satisfied that after it is over
all hands. including even Roger Sulh-
van, will pull together for the glory
of the Wilson policies.

was place of resort where intoxicating
liquors were kept and were drank. 1t
was resorted to for that purpose, in part.
But the defendant contends that they
were not kept or drank in any such way
as to bring the case within the teeth of
the law.
Its learned counsel argues that the
phrase, "any manner not prescribed by
law qualities and limits not only the
word dispensed" which it Immediately
follows, but also the preceding words.
kept, sold, given away and drank" and
that the phrase in that connection is
equivalent to lin violation of the law" or
'unlawfully" so that the statute should
be interpreted to mean that "all places
of resort where intoxicating liquors are
unlawfully kept or unlawfully sold or I'M
lawfully given away or unlawfully drank
or unlawfully dispensed, are common nui-
sances." Upon this premise, 1t is argued
that if the keeping, the drinking or the
giving away, etc. were lawful the place
where 1t is done Is not nuisance.
We think the fallacy of this argument
is patent when we consider that there is
no such thing as the unlawful drinking
or the unlawful giving away or the I'M
toxicating liquors. There is no statutory
prohibition of drinking liquor nor of Civ
ing it away. The qualifying phrase that
is used is applicable to liquor that is kept
or sold but not to that which is drank or
given away, and the statute should not
be construed SO as to make 1t applicable.
1t would seem that the Legislature, hav-
ing named certain specific conditions
which would make a place of resort a
nuisance, deemed it wise to add a sweep
ing clause to cover all contingencies and
to say that all places of resort where in
toxicating liquors are dispensed in any
manner not provided for by law" are
nuisances. BY this construction the sta
tute is rendered harmonious and effec-
tive. 1t is in harmony also with what
may be supposed to be the purpose of
the statute or one of its purposes. State
VS.. Papriesky, supra.
The evils which it seems this statute
seeks to remedy are not those of merely
drinking or giving away of intoxicating
liquors. They are rather the evils which
may follow from drinking or giving away
liquors at a place of resort to which
men commonly and habitualiy resort
where men socially inclined are apt to
congregate for that purpose. If each
member of this club drank his own liquor
end only his own, the clubhouse would
still be a place of resort where intoxicat-
ing liquor was drank. But the universal
conduct of men under such circumstances
goes to show that ordinarily drinking at
such a place is not so limited
The court is of the opinion that the
facts agreed upon describe a statutory
nuisance.
