Alleged German Spy Loses in Habeas
Corpus PROCEEDINGS.

NEW YORK. November 2O-Federal
Judge Chatfield today denied an appli-
cation for a writ of habeas corpus on
behalf of Ignatius T. r. Lincoln. for
mer member of the British house Of
commons. who is wanted in London on
charges of forgery and obtaining secu-
rites through false pretenses.
Lincoln, who claims that the real OBJ
ject OF the British government is to
put him on trial as German spy,
based his application on alleged insult
ficient evidence and Identification.
Charles Fox, counsel for the British
authorities, ridiculed Lincoln's claim
that he was being extradited in order
to be tried as a SPY. He declared it
would be impossible for the English
courts, under treaty obligations, to try
Lincoln on any other charges than
those under which his extradition was
demanded.
Counsel for Lincoln stated they would
fight the case up to the United States
Supreme Court.

HALF PINT LAW Is LEGAL
City Law Limiting Sale Quantity of
Liquor Valid, Decides Attorney
General w. c. Owen.

Madison.-An ordinance by the
city of Stoughton forbids pharmacists
to sell, even on physicians prescrip-
ton, more than half pint of liquor.
The state law does not make the limi-
tation and Secretary Edward Will
Jams of the state board of pharmacy
asked Atty.-Gen. w. c. Owen if the
Stoughton ordinance will hold water.
In an opinion the attorney general
puts the seal of approval on the ordi-
nance, saying it is o. K.
Another feature of the ordinance
which forbids the sale of liquor ex-
cept upon prescription of a Dane
county physician, the attorney gen
eral has some doubts about, but holds
that even if this will not stand the
test, it's failure will not affect the
half-pint provision.
Stoughton is a dry city.
