RESOLUTION
TO BE INTRODUCED
Judge Pollock Has Written Joint Res
olution for Legislature-Thinks it
of National Importance.

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 14.-Judge
Charles A. Pollock of Fargo, promi-
nent national prohibition leader, has
a joint resolution, ratifying a propos-
ed amendment to the constitution of
the United States with reference to
Intoxicating liquors, which he favors
having adopted at the special session
of the state legislature, set for Janu-
airy %.
II believe it would be fortunate if
the coming special session of our leg
islature would adopt the proposed
constitutional amendment" said
Judge Pollock this afternoon. "Such
action would help in other states hav-
ing regular sessions at this time.
North Dakota was among the first to
adopt state constitutional prohibition.
We ought to be equally early in help
ing to adopt national prohibition,
which can be done by adopting the
proposed amendment to the national
constitution. Our failure to adopt the
measure now might be wrongly in
terpreted.

SIXTY SEVEN QUARTS
OF ZINE OLD BOOZE
SEIZED RY THE POLICE

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 14.-Sixty-
seven quarts of good five-year-old
whiskey, worth on the local market as
high as 500, was seized by local po-
lice authorities last Saturday evening,
and Frank Kuntz, who is alleged to
have been the owner of the valuable
cargo, was thrown into jail to await
the pleasure of U. s. Attorney Melvin
Hildreth.
A few days ago, two innocent look

CHANGED to stroll into the freight
house, and he detected familiar
odor. The odor came from the 68th
quart, it was discovered after the
shipment had been seized. But for
the breaking of this one bottle, the
shipment, in all probability, would
have reached it's ultimate destination
and a number Of Bismarck men to-
night would be lighter of heart and
purse.
