Police Find a Gunny Sack Of Beer Hid
den In Weeds When They Raid
Place on Eleventh
Street.
NEW BooTLEGGING WAY
The Latest camoufiage Of the Gentry
Here 10 Not 80 Effectual as
They Seemed to Think
IL Would be.

The activity of the Keokuk police
has driven booze outdoors in the
rain, hiding in the weeds.
Assistant Chief Pearson raided the
house at IA North Eleventh street
late yesterday afternoon and found
it entirely free from contraband
liquors. But his previous detective
work had made him confident that
there was some ON the premises
somewhere and he kept looking.
In some weeds in the side yard he
found . gunny sack full of beer in
bottles. The sack was very wet,
showing that 1t had been out in the
rain for some time. 1t was taken to
police headquarters where 1t reposes
in room In the dry now. Also some
prospective drinkers Of beer are dry.
A Futile camouHaee.
The latest move Of the bootleggers
seems to be to have the liquor out
side Of the house.
Then. the former method of search
Ing the house fails to find the booze.
and the hope Is that the police will
leave disappointed without Selling it.
Probably there Is the further hope
that this new method avoids the law
against keeping liquors in quantity
that raises the legal presumption
that it Is for sale, because everybody
has the habit Of thinking of premises
as being house or room.
But the Iowa law uses the word
premises, and the meaning of that
word is well fixed. 1t means the yard
and lot and even farm. The police
will proceed. when they find liquors
in a yard, exactly as when they find
1t in a room or house.

Some people are all mixed up yet
about the change of the clocks next

jeweler today.
What he said was easily verified

Even the sun dials show the cor

at all.
Nobody has much to do with

in Keokuk the clocks and the time
are never together.

east of Keokuk to make q time diff.

is further difference of a minute,
SO that the clocks there have always

Years ago clock time was fixed
arbitrarily but handily in the United

So, changing the clocks an hour
