M0RANGE GUILTY Is ]URY'S VERDICT Heflin Rules Against Con- tention That Liquor Seized Was an Interstate
 Shipment

Frank Moragne, we'll known about the city, was convicted on three counts yesterday on an indictment charging a violation of the state prohibition law by d jury in the second division of the criminal court before Judge Harrington P. Heflin. A fine of $500 on each count was assessed by the jury, which was out only a few minutes.
 When the verdict came in MoraGne sat unmoved as the clerk read off the fine of $500 against him. His attorney, John w. Altman,s at once served notice of appeal to the supreme court and Judge Heflin set the bond at 5000. Al late hour last night Moragne had not made bond.
 Assistant Solicitor Walter $. Brewer announced last night that when Mor- agne came up for sentence this morn
 ing he would request that penalty of 12 months on the county roads be added
 The case of Moragne has attracted wide attention. He was arrested sev- eral weeks ago With an automobile loaded with about 70 gallons of liquor. At the time of his arrest Moragne con- tended that he was shipping the liquor through the state an interstate ship ment. This brought about an interesting legal question in the court yesterday which Judge Heflin decided against the contentious of Moragne. The state was represented by Solicitor Hugo L. Black and Assistant Solicitor Walter $. Brower

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Pink Lady"

It frequently happens that in the sec ond. third or fourth year of a musical comedy success there is a marked de- terioration in the companies sent on tour.
 One of the most delightful musical pieces of recent years, '"The Pink Lady," as presented at the Jefferson theatre yes terday afternoon and last night, is an example The bewitching music remains, but the company falls below the stand ard set by organizations which have pre- sented "The Pink Lady here before this season. Only one number, the justly pop ular waltz song, Beautiful Lady, achieved so much as a single encore last night.
 In justice to the prma donna May belle Mcdonald, it should be stated that she apparently suffered from hoarseness, which made singing difficult.
 Some parts of the performance rose above the dead level of mediocrity but in the main talent of the sort required for the successful presentation of the sprightly episodes of ''The Pink Lady. '' as well as the song hits of the piece, was conspicuous by it's absence.
