Escapes: Auto and Booze confis-
Gated

One of the largest consignments of
contraband liquor without the owner
brought into Weber county, Utah, &C
cording to an Ogden press dispatch,
since the state went dry was that
which was found near Ogden last
week by Sheriff Peterson.
The total amount of liquor seized
was about thousand quarts. A
seven-passenger automobile was also
taken in the raid.
This makes 1000 quarts of booze
Sheriff Peterson has seized since Oc-
tober /. 1t was by mere accident that
the sheriff and his deputies captured
this last big consignment of booze.
They were following another clue
when they observed a touring car
backed up to section house on a
railroad and man carrying sacks to
the car. On their approach the man
ran and escaped in the underbrush.
An inventory OF the house and the
automobile disclosed IL sacks of liq-
TOR. The automobile will be held,
pending an investigation by the Of

Lafayette Young, Jr., writing in the
Des Moines Capital of the liquor sit

clares that it is wise presumption
that these two countries will not go
back to the pre-war attitude with re-
spect to the use and sale of liquor.
Mr.. Young says:
1t is recognized now more as a de-
structive force than ever before in
both OF these countries.
Wines are not in such bad repute,
but whiskys and spirits they recog-
nize as positively inimical to eff
cheney and health.
Lloyd George is a very pronunced
foe OF liquor, and if he could have
had his way England would have had
absolute Prohibition.
III just the same way the amount
of alcohol was reduced in quart of
whisky, so the alcoholic content OF
the beer was similarly reduced, and
beer in France and England became
almost non-alcoholic.

known as "The Theater."

by the Police in Roundup

August Marxhausen, millionaire
owner of the Abend Post, Detroit,
Michigan, is again in court on a charge
of violating Michigan's Prohibition
laws.
1t will be recalled that a decision
was given Marxhausen some time ago
by the court when it ordered returned
to him quantity of liquor that had
been seized in his summer home.
The court held that this liquor had
not been seized by due process of law
Marxhauscn's present difficulties
came when he was arrested in COM
pany with Police Commissioner Mar
quardt and Third Deputy Commits
siner Sprott, having in his possession
seven bottles OF wine and four bottles
Of whisky. He pleaded not guilty to
the charge of violating the Michigan
state Prohibition laws.
His companion police officials were
fxonorated by the Assistant Prose-
cutting Attorney. They had been
guests of Mr.. Marxhauscn at his Calf
Island home and declared they knew
nothing of the presence of the liquor
in the car which belonged to Inspector
Sprott.
Mr.. Marxhausen will base his de-
Tense on the ground that Act l6l OF
the laws of 1917, prohibiting posses
sion of liquor, is void because super
seeded by Act 33S which does not con-
tain the possession clause.
Assistant Prosecutor E. S. Bartlett
who has charge of liquor matters, last
week filed his record in an appeal
from the decision of Circuit Judge
Dingeman in the previous c;5e against
Marxhausen, in which the court held
the act to be superseded and void.
Judge Dingeman quashed the COM
plant in that case, which was based
-un the seizure Of 5000 bottles of beer
and other alcoholic beverages by food
and drug inspectors on Calf Island
on the night of August and ordered
the liquor returned. The prosecutor
