District Attorney Has Another
Federal Jurist Mol Pros 80
Liquor Indictments.

VALDOSTA, Feb. 12.-District At

over" Judge Emory Speer here
when he secured an order from
Judge w. B. Sheppard allowing the
mol pros of the 80 indictments against
liquor dealers whose dismissal Judge
Speer had previously refused to sane
ton.
Declaring in his statement to the
Congressional Investigating Commit
tee at Savannah that it seemed that
Mr.. Alderman was in league with
''business houses of evil influence"
meaning the liquor companies Judge
Speer further stated:
IF / remain as judge, and Mr..
Alderman does not remain as District
Attorney, these cases will be tried
Judge Sheppard, of Pensacola, con-
vened special session of the District
United States Court here for the trial
of criminal cases. Among the first
cases presented to him were the in
dictments against the liquor dealers,
whose dismissal the District Attorney
asked. Judge Sheppard granted the
order without discussion.
District Attorney Alderman stated
70 the court that each of the dealers
had already settled with the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, and that
he was authorized by the Department
of Justice to mol pros the cases. The
indictments were for violations of the
internal revenue tax act.
When Judge Speer refused last year
20 permit the dismissal of the cases,
Mr.. Akerman mol pressed them any
way, but the clerk. acting upon in
structions from the judge. declined
to make them the order of the court.
Mr. Alderman contends that there is
ample precedent for a District At
torney to dismiss cases even against
the judges wishes, and that in SO do
Ing he merely carried out the author

with the Cultivated Appetite.

stance Harrell, the 9yearold daugh-
ter of Manager Frank Harrell OF the
Winecoff Hotel, Fritz's preceptress,

dainty dishes for his canine highness.

be tempted by dog biscuits, bones and
such trucl1-he demands real food for
his gastronomic endeavors. He will
eat anything on the bill of fare, from
consomme to the la stuff.
One "Low- brow Taste.
And yet, with all his striving tc
reach the nth" degree of epicurean
cultivation, Fritz reverts to type
long enough to crave, with craving
that seems never to be satisfied, just
one dish, which is considered low
brow" by the high brows Of the art
Of feasting.
And that is German Noodles!
For German Noodles Fritz has "ze
grand passion!" They have become
almost an obsession with him. For
German Noodles Fritz would forsake
his hopes of entering dog heaven, and
he'd follow a German Noodle from
Greenland's icy mountains to the tor
rio sands of the Inferno.
The cultivation OF the cultivated
appetite has been going on since lit
