RELEASES BIG BOOZE HOARD
But Federal Supreme Court Mus:
First Pass Upon Ruling OF
Judge Walter Evans.

LouisTille.-SeVenty million gal
of whisky, three-fourths Of which Is
stored in Kentucky, was ordered re-
leased from government bonded ware
houses by Walter Evans, federal
Judge, in a decision rendered recently
and within a few minutes after the
telegraph wires had carried an
nouncements Of President Wilson's
veto OF the Dry Enforcement Bill
Although the decision is regarded
by liquor men Of Kentucky as a big
victory for them, it does not mean
that this enormous holding of whisky
will be placed on the market now, be-
cause Judge Evans ruled also that it
must not be moved until the United
States Supreme Court passes on the
case.
Judge Evans held that the war time
prohibition act was unconstitutional
and furthermore, that the govern
ment could not confiscate or seize
private property without paying for
it, ruling automatically that the whis-

Washington. In plain, vigorous
language the President OF the United
States announced recently that the
coal strike set for November 1. can
not be permitted under the laws Of
the government for protection OF so
eiety: The government, he says, will
use every means within Its power TO
prevent the strike and keep the mines

The decision means that unless the

But the President hopes that such
action viii not be necessary and ap-
peals to the officers OF the union
and to the miners as individuals at
once to recall all strike orders, an
nouneing that he stands ready to see
that their differences with the op-
orators are fairly adjusted by arbftra-
ton.

MINERS DECIDE TO QUIT WORK
Strong Plea by President Wilson Falls
to Bring Peace at the
Coal Conference.

Washington.-The last government
effort to avert the coal strike set for
November 1, has failed utterly, and
half a million miners will quit work
on the very eve of winter, with the
Nations fuel bins running dangerous
ly low.
Even an appeal from President Will
son, sick in bed at the White House,
was not enough to bring peace to a
conference that was torn and on the
breaking point half a dozen times in
the day. Charges and counter charges
flew thick and fast as the groups OF
operators and miners filed out of the
meeting which began somewhat hope
fully four days ago.
While the operators announced that
they had accepted the Presidents Of
fer to wipe the slate clean and nego-
tiate new wage agreement, the min
ers charged that the operators had
bolted without the consent Of Secre-
tary Of Labor Wilson, the storm GEN.
ter Of an extraordinary fight to save
the country untold distress and suffer
lag.
Surrounded by a score of miners,
John L. Lewis, acting president of the
United Mine Workers OF America, hur-
ded out of the hall and halted long
enough to announce that the strike Or
der stood, and that the miners would
walk out after full days work on the
closing day Of the present month The
final breaking up Of the conference,
Lewis said, meant that official notice
Of the failure would be sent forthwith
to the unions everywhere to order the
men out OF the mines at the appointed
hour.
The Presidents appeal was made
through Secretary Wilson, after the
latter had exhausted every possible ef-
fort and had pleaded until his throat
ached. 1t pointed out what a strike
meant and urged the two sides to get
together, negotiate their differences,
resOrting to arbitration only in the
event that negotiations failed The i'm
portant point in the proposal, how
ever, was that the mines be kept open
and the miners stay at work.
Each side in the controversy issued
statements placing the blame for the
failure Of the negotiations on their op-
ponents.

MISSOURI EDITOR
FOUND NOT GUILTY
Richmond Jury Acquits Robert
S. Lyon of the Murder eft
Judge DiVeIbiss.
TOOK ONLY THIRTY MINUTES
Jtst Enough Time Was Taken to
Read Over instructions Before
Reaching a Verdict

Richmond, Mo.-Robert g Lyon,
editor Of the Richmond Conservator,
charged with the murder Of Judge
Frank P. DiveIbiss in the court house
here last April, was acquitted on the
first ballot in the circuit court here
by jury of Ray county farmers.
The jury was out but thirtythree
minutes. Il was said that they
reached the verdict IN twenty min
utes.
The trial OF the newspaper editor
was the termination of one of the
most bitter political feuds ever de-
veleped in Ray county, and because
ef the popularity of Lyon in the coun-
ty, the efforts of John 1. Williamson
and L B. Kimbrell, special pFoseeu
tors from Kansas City, were OF no
avail
Quick Verdict a Surprise
It was obvious that neither the de-
Tense nor the prosecution had any
idea that the jury would return a YER
diet in such a short length Of time
and but a small portion Of the large
crowd of political adherents OF the
two men, and the spectators were in
the court room when the verdict was
announced.
Lyon was sitting in the front row
gazing vacantly at the ceiling when
the jury entered. Judge Ralph
Hughes, successor to the late Judge
DiveIbiss, prepared to order recess
Of one hour to allow the jury to be
escorted to supper.
Gentlemen of the jury have you
reached verdict?' he inquired pre-
paratory to ordering the recess.
I'VE have" was the answer Of
Oliver Swinney, stalwart juror, then
recognized to be the foreman.
Editor Congratulated.
Lyon sat as If transfixed, and then
clutched the arms Of his chair nerv-
ously.
Then came the verdict: Not
guilty"
Lyon leaped to his feet and was i'm
mediately surrounded by his friends
who congratulated him warmly. Lyon
stepped up to the jury box and thank
ed each juror personally for his con-
fidence during the entire trial. He
was hustled from the court room to
a waiting motor car and rushed to
his home where his wife is seriously

Little Hope of a wet SPELL"
Nobody really had professed to
know that the President would veto

that had sorrowful1y watched the
passing OF the bars-thought it would
become a law without his signature.

Senate Follows House.
Washington--The senate passed the
prohibition enforcement act over the
Presidents veto the other day and
made Immediately effective mschin-
cry for preventing sale of beverages
containing more than one-half OF L
per cent alcohol.
The vote was 65 to 20. or eight more

over taking up the measure in plsce
Of the Peace Treaty, which had the
right Of way. there never was doubt
as to how the Senate stood It was
Overwhelmingly dry like the house,
which repassed the bill within three
hours after the President had vetoed
it.

Men Who Want to Continue at Work

Washington.-The miners decision
to disregard the appeal OF the Presi-
dent and to walk out of the soft coal
mines of the country at midnight Fri
day, will bring one of the bittsrest
industrial wars thu Nation ever has
witnessed, it was predicted her And
the government, fighting on the side
of the people, who are known to be
Overwhelmingly opposed to q shut
ting off of the fuel supply on the
eve Of winter, will make every eff;ut
to keep the mines open so that nj
lions may not suffer from cold, I'M

The first step to deal with the Sit
uation will be a drastic one.
U. S. to Take Charge of Mines.
The fuel administration will be re-
vived, together with it's powers of
price fixing, distribution and alloca-
ton And, because the fuel admin
istration made the wartime agree
ment with the miners, which they
seek now to have set aside because
they hold the war emergency ended,
it would, when restored, be given au-
thority to take charge of the mines
and keep them in operation.
Revival of the fuel administration,
it was said is only one of the sew
eral steps contemplated by the gov
eminent to prevent a tieup of the BIZ
luminous coal mines. The others are:
Ample police or military protection
for miners willing to remain at work,

Efforts to bring the strike to a
