KAISER WILHELM ALMOST CAPTURED BY CARS MEN
STORY TOLD But LACKS OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION
STATES APPEAL
In LATAH CASE
WAS UPHELD IN AN OPINION BY
SUPREME COURT IN CASE
AGAINST L. STAFFORD
Complex Question Was Decided in
Case Against Northern Pacific
COlOred Porter

Statesman, Boise: The status of La
tab county regarding the sale of liquor
has brought an interesting case for the
The county is dry" only because the
county commissioners have refused to
grant any licenses to sell liquor. The
matter has never come up for the vote
of the people, except as they expressed
their choice for the county commits
sioners.
The case under consideration and
upon which the court handed down
an opinion Wednesday is entitled the
state of Idaho against L. Stafford. The
action was brought in the probate
court of Latah county on charge of
selling liquor without a license. The
case was tried in the probate court
and Stafford appealed. His attorneys
secured an order from Judge Steele
of the district court, di4missing the
appeal on the ground that the lower
court did not have the right to try
the case and that Stafford hac had no
haering.
This decision was appealed from, by
the state. In the hearing in the SUI
preme court the attorneys for the de-
fendant argued that the state had no
right to appeal. The supreme court,
speaking through Chief Justice Sui
livan, holds that the state did have
the right to appeal and that the case
should not have been dismissed in dis
trict court, and it is remanded for
trial.
In answefsao the defendants argu-
ment that the state had no right to
appeal the case, the courts explains
that the terms Complaint" and 'in-
and information" are syn
1nymous, and cites statutes showing
hat the state is empowered to appeal
rom a Judgment for the defendant on
demurrer to the indictment or infor-
nation. The decision says:
"The case was dismissed in district
court on the representation that the
defendant had been convicted of sell
ng liquor in prohibition territory, and
hat the lower court did not have
in such case. The court |
inds that such was not the case, how |
,yer, but that the conviction was for
he offense of selling liquor without |
license, and the trial perfectly prop
# in the lower court"

rush in the second quarter and aided
by a 60-yard kick from Captain Phil

of the quarter The ball was in the
middle of the field when a forward
pass was called for; Phillips handled

FRANCE MOVING TO-
WARD PROHIBITION

Paris. Nov. 1S.-Permanent pro-
hibition of the sale of absinthe and
kindred alcoholic beverages through
out France may be a result OF the
war. When war began, transporta-
ton and sale of absinthe were for
hidden, but traffic in other intoxl-
cants was continued. The original
order CT the government has now
been supplemented with another for
bidding the sale of any alcoholic
drinks similar to absinthe. In all
parts of France there is marked
movement toward perpetuating this
prohibition. This country ha:
been rated as the largest consumer
of liquors, although the statistics
available do not show the amount Of
alcohol consumed in this form.

1t Is entirely natural and justi-
fable for a man to fight for his life
as long as possible, hence we don't
blame Leo Frank for appealing his
case eyerytime he gets chance.
But, all the same, to the lay mind
it seems to be absurd that Frank
should be permitted to invoke the
jurisdiction of the supreme court of
the United States upon the question
of his presence in the court room
when the jury brought in the ver-
dict. That certainly has nothing to
do with his guilt or innocence. In
an English court such an issue
would have no standing and Frank
would have been hanged or &C.
quilted long ago on the merits Of
his case.

If Speaker Farris Is now governor
pro tenn of Florida during the alb
sence of Governor Trammell and Of
President Drane of the State Senate,
we trust that he will be satisfied
with the distinguished honor of the
thing itself and not inaugurate any
rash policies that would imperil the
Ship Of State. Protein governors
have been known to exercise their
brief authority in very drastic ways.
but We expect nothing Of that kind
from a level-headed man like Mr..
Farris. He might with safety and
propriety appoint a few more no.
taries public, but beyond that we
would not advise him to 60. LET
