BEER IS USED TO IRR|CAiE
 THE HILLSIDE
Result of Officers Raid Concluded by Emptying Beer Bottle at the
 Court House.

Beer, 2,4OO bottles of it, spilled and dribbled and poured itself, aided by United States Marshal J. M. Tan her, Ensign Hallidie McMicken, Bradley T. Fowlks, and several as sistants, over the yard of the Court House this morning, while onlookers enviously watched the sad rites.
 The bottles have been donated to B. M Behrends, president of the b. cal chapter of the Red Cross, for the Salvage Department of the Red Cross
 Such is the end of the beer found as the result of a raid made on the store house back of a second hand store at the Corner of Second and Franklin Streets by Special Agent J. F. Mcdonald and Game Warden John C. Lund Jr, last July
 Marshal Tanner says that he ex- poets to raise a splendid crop of lettuce in the back yard of the Court House next year. He is trying to forget that there are such things as hops and barley.

London, July 11.--The menace or enemy aliens living freely in Eng land has been the text of news2a- per agitation in the last two weeks more keen than any of the numerous anti-German waves of feeling which the country experiences at frequent lh- tervals since the war began.
 The subject was discussed in the House of Commons today. the House having received the report of the com mittee of six, which Premier Lloyd George appointed July to consider the question and make recommenda- tions.
 The home secretary, Sir George Cave, whose department has charge of aliens, said that the principal recommends lions of the committee will be carried into effect. The foremost is the wind ing up of German banks, which have been in the hands of receivers for more than three years, and the closing of which has been demanded by the newspapers for more than a year past.

Large Crowd Attends Lee ture at Capitol Park by
 Noted Author

Judge G. O. Nations of Washington, vice president of the Free Press Defense league. a noted lecturer and author, addressed an enthusiastice audience or several thousands people at Capitoi park last night.
 Judge Nation held the large audience spellbound while speaking of the prac- tices of the pope of Rome and the Ro- man Catholics of this country, stat ing they had attempted to get controt of this government.
 He said that he did not see how any fair-mfnded American offieeholder could have for private secretary ot stenoprapher any one who was mem her of the Roman Catholic church He stated that the secretary to the Pres- iaent of the United States was mem Der of this church. but yet. he praised the work of President Wilson and the administration for the great work that has been done since war was declared on Germany.
 "Another thing I cannot understand said the speaker. lis why Protestants send their children to Catholic con- vents. These inmates are locked up be- hind walls and treated as prisoners. These convents are secret places now. but will not remain so long. The peo- pie of these great United States are awakening every day to the menace of Catholicism"
 | Judge Nations denounced the mem lbers of Congress and the different states for subscribing to the Catholic Institutes of the country. He stated that millions of dollars of the peoples money was subscribed to these insti- tutes each year
 "Write to your senators and con- gressmen to see that no more money Is let out of the United States treasury
 for these institutions. If they cannot stop it. put some one in thei- places
 that wip stop this waste" said Judge
 Nations
 Shortly after 10 o'clock the meet
 ing came to close. but the crowd
 refused to leave the park. Tell us
 more, don't stop" was the cry from
 the crowd. Judge Nations talked about : what tho people of Europe would ex-
 pect of America after the war. They
 want to hear what America has to say when the peace council sits. they are
 looking toward Amria for the peace
 trms of this war, and not to the pope
