STATEMENT OF FACT IN
CASE OF INSPECTORS

Because NJ the widely divergent ac-
count Of the arrest and conviction o.
prohibition inspectors Oliver ana
Chase. at Amelia Lewis Fl, Nachen,
general counsel for the department
81. pEahthit{Qps Ne.sterday made the
following statement OF facts concern
ing thS case
Tho two INSPECTORS on the night
81 oct. 70, seeing man leave a
garage carrying a hanbag, which
he turned ever 10 another man. under
circumstances which excited their
suspicion, approached the second
man and asked h1a whether he had
liquor In the hsg-lThe inspectors
say the man replied he had quart.
The man says he answered that he
had nore The inspectors say the
man held out tn them the bag,
which one of the inspectors shook
and then told him he could go. The
man said the bag was removed from
his hand by the inspector. shaken and
returned to him The man was not
put under arrest He was informed
that the inspectors were duly author
ICED agents of the department of
prohibition. The next morning one
of the men who handled the bag frst,
and who was a brother to the man to
whom he passed the bag, came to the
Office of the commissioner OF prohibi
ton TO learn whether the men whe
represented themselves as inspectors
were really what they claimed to be,
He was told that the men were in
spectore. Subsequently warrant
was issued charging the inspectors
with highway robbery. Later the
charged assault.
al the
commonwealth and his associate
counsel contended that though the
inspectors had a right without a war
rant, 10 arres. man whom they
had cause TO SUSPECT was transport
ing liquor. they had no right to in
spect the baggage of a man who was
walking along a street by taking and
shaking a handbag. unless they drst
out the man under arrest.
The position of the department. is
that there is difference between the
inspection Of baggage by shaking and
feeling hf the weight. and the search
ing OF baggage by opening 1t, and that
the law provided for such inspection
in order to prevent the arrest Of in
nocent people. The justices one of
whom was a cnlored man, decided
that the inspectors lad no right to
inspect the baggage under The cir
cumstances and imposed a fne and
a jail sentence OF ono day
The case was appealed. because
the department has always acted
upon the belief that the inspectors
had the right and that a prior ar
rest was not necessary. That is
whar the inspectors have been in
structed since the department was
organized three years ago and the
baggage of thousands OF people has
been inspected In that manner. n
the department is wrong. It wishes
tho court TO pass upon II, which one
would have supposed they would
have done before this IL the position
of the department had not been IN
conformity with the law"

clared that people generally become decrepit-
feeble, aged-yearS and years before their time
--that , person ought TO live well over hun
dred years. He proved that the toxic poisons
which form in the intestines and cause auto
intoxication had more to do with shortening life
than Anything else. Clean out these poisons
and there ia no reason why human beings
should not live, hale, hearty, strong and vigor-
ous, huncred years or more. Such 10 the doc
trine a. taught by the noted Metchnikoff.
What causes those toxic poisons- where do
