in the past few days. The Ohio has

TURNED LOOSE
Sam Mulllkln Found Not Guilty by
Judge Whitaker In Police Court
Yesterday Afternoon.

In Police Court yesterday afternoon
Sam Mullikin was tried for selling
liquor in local option territory and af-
ter hearing the testimony Judge Whit
aker pronounced the defendant not
guilty. Only two witnesses were in.
trcduced in the entire trial.
Corlis Weaver, witness for the pros
ecution, said that on Sunday, Febru-
ary 4, he had met Mullikln and asked
him about getting some whiskey. Null
likin told him that he did not know
where he could get any. Weaver then
said that he would give $1.50 for a
pint of whiskey and Mullikin told him
to give him the money and he would
get the whiskey. About an hour later
he saw Mullikin in the lobby of the
Central Hotel. Mullikin told MIN
where to get the whiskey and he went
to the spot and procured 1t.
Mullikin on the stand denied that
Weaver had given him money or that
he had left any whiskey for him az
any place. He said that there was Ill
feeling between the two as Weaver
had lost pocketbook and accused
him of getting it. When he replied
that he knew nothing Of the money
Weaver said that if he did not get
the money back he would have war
rant sworn out against him for boot
Logging.
The only other case in the court
was against John Wright for convert
ing property of another for his own
use. A farmer claimed that he had
given Wright $1.25 to purchase him
some whiskey and that Wright had
failed to deliver it to him. Wright
said that he had not had time to de-
liver the whiskey to the man before
he was arrested. He said that he had
cached the booze and that during mis-
incarceration some one had stolen ii,
He was given 80 days in Jail for petit
larceny.

FLETCHER TO START
FOR MEXICAN POST
Report Gains Credence in Washington
That u. S. Troops Will be
withdrawn Soon.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-When the
American members Of the Mexiean-
Amcricam joint commission had fin
iShcd consideration Yesterday of Gen.
Carrauza : reply failing to comply
with their demand that the protocol
providing for Withdrawal Of the Amcri-
can troops from Mexico be ratified,
there were indications that efforts to
enter into an agreement with the de
facto government through the commits
sion would be abandoned For the first
time an official admission was made
that Carranza had refused to sign the
protocol. The commissioners said they
expected to draft their. response to
Carranza today.
The failure Of the commission to
give 10 MeNican-Ameriean relations Il
brighter aspect was offset somewhat
by official limitations that Henry =.
Fletcher, confirmed as ambassador 20
Mexico almost a year ago, was about
TO start for his post where American
interests now are represented by a
clerk. The report that Gen. Perish
ing's expedition soon would be with
drawn regardless of Carranza 5 atti
tude also gained fresh impetus, and
il was understood the administration
had this move under very serious con
, sidcration.

dent Wilson after Yesterdays cabinet

done everything he has been called
upon to do. and has done it in master
ly fashion. 1t is not his fault that he
has failed to meet Frank Moran. This
is the test that many contend Fulton
should be put to. In justice to the
gopher giant, however, it must be ad-
mitted that he has gone more than
half way in seeking a match with
Moran. The signed agreement of Full
ton for this bout has been in the Gus
tody of the Cream City A. c. of Mil
waukee, for many weeks past, but all
overtures to Moran have been side
stepped. The question of the money
to be paid Moran at one time was
definitely agreed upon. when it came
to signing articles he and his manager
refused the bout. If Moran will not
fight Fulton, therefore. then, there is
no other barrier to Fulton's right to
battle Willard.
