CAN SEIZE LIQUORS
confiseation Legal When Shipment 70
Consigned to Fictitious Persons or
Places, According to Court Ruling.

Des lMoines, April 15.--The Wabash
railway will appeal to the district
court from the decision OF Municipal
Judge Meyer, who ruled yesterday
that police can seize liquor held by
the railroads il it is consigned to ficti-
tious addresses. Judge Meyer also con-
demned the twenty-nine cases Of
whisky the police seized.
At the same time the court held
| that eleven of the fourteen cases
seized at the Rock Island offices be
turned back, because he found that
the liquor was shipped to bona fide
addresses. Three cases seized at the
Rock Island Were condemned, one be-
cause the man to whom it was con-
signed has been found guilty of boot
logging and the other two because the
addresses were fictitious.
The Wabash contends that regard
less, to whom liquor is shipped the
city has no legal right to seize it
when it is held by the company as
bailee. The city prosecutors proved
to the satisfaction Of the court that
the liquor seized had been sent to
fictitious addresses and that 1t would

'We are pleased over the decision"
said Chief Jackson. IF the court rules
,, that we can not seize booze in the sta
tions it will hamper us greatly in our
fight against bootleggers. The plan Of
having booze shipped to persons who
do not exist and to fictitious addresses
is an old one of bootleggers. If ship
ment is bona fide it certainly should
come to a person living at an unques
toned address"

provsment to Benefit Tourists.

Detroit, Mich, April 15.-H. c. Oster-
mann, field secretary of the Lincoln
Highway Association, has just an
nounced plans for repainting and
standardizing the road markers on the
route of the Lincoln Highway all across
the country. This important step will
be undertaken in the immediate future
and will be of the greatest benefit to
the tourists making the cross country
trip. .Ef ~
1t is planned to send trained crew
OF painters over the route to paint all
signs and to standardize the system by
replacing the markers where necessary
to make it uniform. There will be eight
markers to- the mile and two at each
turn in all cities and villages.
The Willys-Overland Company has
contributed two service cars for the
purpose and the Lincoln Highway AS
ISOLATION will furnish all materials, the
communities along the route being
asked to contribute proportionately to
pay the salaries of the men doing the
work. The various localities have each
marked and painted the route individu-
ally up to this time, and while the re-
suits have been highly satisfactory in
every way, many of the signs are now
Weather-beaten and some are not
placed to the best advantage, there
fore the association has undertaken to
standardize the entire system.
Each community will have the work
done at a much smaller expense than
If It were to do the work locally, Mr..
Ostermann having figured the entire
expense according to the population,
territory to be benefited and the total
number Of markers to be used and
then making an equitable division of
the amount along the route.
