BIG HUN GUNS SOLD
TO MAKE MACHINERY

CoBLENz, March 20. Correspond
enee Of the Associated Press,--Elghty
big caliber German guns refused by
the United States receiving commits
sion because they did not meet certain
modern standards have been sold to a
Coblenz foundry and are soon to be
made into farm implements and other
peace time machinery.
While some OF those cannon were
cast as long<ago as 1870, all had been
used at some time or another In the
recent war, several Of them having
done duty against the Americans In
the Argonne drive In November. After
the guns had been refused by the Amer
leans, members OF the German deliver
Ing commission requested that they be
permitted to dispose OF the wal ma
terial to q foundry. The request was
granted with the understanding that
the cannon would quickly be melted
into pig iron and that none Of this In
any way would be used for the manu-
facture of n kind Of firearms.
Virtually all the material which the
Germans were to turn over to the
Americans according to the terms OF
the armistice, has been delivered.

ACT WOULD PROVIDE FOR
SEIZURE OF BOOZE CARS

Henry ]. Livingston, city attorney,
is drafting a bill for introduction in
the legislature which will, II enacted
into law, give arresting officers the
power not only to seize autos or other
vehicles used In the transportation of
c~ontraband liquor, but to sell them.
He Is taking this action at the sug-
gestion OF 8. II. Trezevant, United
States marshal, and o. H. Perry, sher-
iff, both of whom believe that such a
law would aid state officers in enforce
Ing the liquor law, Or at least would
cost the b0otleggers something In adj
dition to the loss Of their stocks Of
liquor.
Mr.. Livingston will model the bill
On the law now in force in Arkansas

quite possible that II such a law were

South America will object to this on the
ground that the United States should

Of her n~eighbors, but this may be held
TO be a matter for special treaty ar
rangements between the United States

the pan-American treaty Of 1914 which
was being negotiated when the Euro
pean war broke out.

from Paris Is documentary proof Of the

AGENTS
OPENLY SOLICIT
Banks and offices Worked as
Drummers Canvass Many
Country Stores.

Liquor stocks r SO heavy in Mem
phis that during the past few days
c~anvassers for the big whisky ring have
begun to work the banks and big bust
ness offices just as drummers do for
any other line Of business. In many
instances the whisky agent is not ever
known to the man whom he ~solicits
as a customer, while In others the
seller and prospective purchaser are
acquainted, Pbut in either case the 80
~licitation is open and devoid Of any
element Of secrecy.
The agent OF the whisky ring as
sllres the business n that he has
all standard brands and quotes prices
stance, for old Forester, while other
brands are cheaper. Positive assurance
Is given also OF delivery at once by
taxi at any point desired by the pur.
chaser.
Only one person was indicted on a
day by the grand jury; only two on
Tuesday, making a total Of three in
dictments for this offense In q week,
and only seven last week, making a
total In two weeks Of 10 persons in
dicted for violating the liquor law. And
all OF them are supposed 10 De nalt-
