Poopre For TrotSky.

HELSTNGFORS, Oct. 2S-Lieut.
Col. Lestrang Malone, a Liberal
member of the British House of Com
mons has returned after a daring,
unothc1al visit to Petrograd. He told
friends here that he was convinced
after an investigation of the political
and military Investigations of Russia
that it is improbable that P~etrograd
will fall this winter. He said that
reports of dissension among the Boil
sheviki were untrue and tina Lenine
and Trotsky appeared to be working
In entire accord.
He saw Trotsky review thousands
of soldiers who enthusiastically hailed
him as a divine leader"
Col. Malone said the Bolsheviki
asserted that General Denikine had
lost the confidence and support of
the allies and had reached an under
standing with Gen.. Won Goltz who is
heading the so-called Russian army,
composed largely of Germans in the
Baltic provinces.

Drivers All Silent

Subsequently all of the truckmen
upon being asked questions bearing
on the subject of transporting intox-
icating liquor refused to answer and
each was held to the grand jury on
the same charge. The judge then
took occasion to rebuke the lawyers
representing the truck drivers for ex-
pecting him to return their property
to the truck men in view of the fact
that they dared not answer for fear of
getting into trouble under the Grim
inal law.
"You are coming here presumably
with clean hands appealing to con-
science of the court to give you back
your car" he said to witness, then
turning to his lawyer he said, "And

Wiil Educate PeopIe

One OF the things planned to be
done /. to go before the people of the
United States in public meetings and
explain to them the provisions OF the
constitutional amendment and the en-
forcement act, concerning which
great deal OF misnformatlon, most OF
1t promulgated by the ioes oil Pro-
hlbition, has been circulated.
Americanization or foreign ele-
ments, it was felt, would accomplish
two results: first, the inculcation OF
proper respect for law and authority,
the teaching of persons hitherto used
to Intoxicating beverages that such
beverages are not only unnecessary,
but absolutely harmful; and in the
second place, SO showing to them the
benefits of Prohibition in the United
States that they will be anxious TO aid
and lend their influence toward bring
ing about Prohibition among the peo-
pie of their native lands.
1t was declared by officials of the
Anti-Saloon League of America that
at the present time fifteen men sent
over by the League are in foreign
countries working with the temper
ance forces of those countries in cam
paigns to make the countries dry and
that just as soon as the new program
of the League becomes known and
resources are available, other men
are ready to go into still other coun-
tries on the same mission.
1t was made apparent that in formu-
lating the worldwide program the
League is not attempting to thrust
itself and its activities upon unwilling
peoples, but that the determination to
aid in the worldwide fight has been
reached largely because of the Mace
donian cries that have come from
other nations for help and that have
been uttered for years, notably at the
recent worldwide conference in
Washington.

program and the intensive effort re-

Drivers Held to Grand Jury

The first indication at the hearing
before Lands would develop into
something entirely different from the
simple question of a disposition of
the trucks came when one of the driv-
ers refused to answer a question
asked by Judge Lands. Instantly
after the judge asked the truck owner
whether he did any business from
Wisconsin points, attorney Remus in
terrupted to say that the witness had
been instructed that he need not an
swer. He brought out the fact that
the man on the stand was under GRIM
inal charges in Lake county. Mr..
Remus announced to the court that
he had advised the witness that he
need not answer the judges question
because by doing so he might incrim-
mate himself. Upon the witnesses
continued refusal to answer the Judge
ordered him held to grand jury under
a $4,000 bond charged with violating
the United States law against the
transportation of Intoxicating liquor
into dry territory.

.gaged. III interstate traffic and thus
immune from prosecution under state
laws according to the contention OF
the truck attorneys who apparently
were not quite up to date on liquor
laws.
Various drivers upon being ques-
toned asserted that they had no
knowledge OF where the beer they
were hauling was to be delivered.
They stated that they received no
shipping directions and that the ship
ments they carried bore no marks or
labels identifying the cons;gnee. One
witness testified that another man
went with him to give directions as to
the destination of his beer cargo.
The judge called attention to the fact
that it was rather unusual for an extra
man to accompany common carrier
for the purpose of giving directions in
the absence OF labels OH the goods to
be transported.

lCl > 6OlllllllllGCS
A flve-year permanent financial
campaign was agreed upon. i'll which
there will be raised twenty-five mil
ION dollars for state, national and
world work on a graduated scale, run
ming from $2.375,000 the first year to
more than ten million dollars the fifth
year.
In addition there will be put on an
intensive drive for twenty-five million
dollars or more to be used in the
Americanization OF foreigners and in
the worldwide Prohibition hight.
working in foreign countries through
the cooperation OF the World League
Against Alcoholism.
The Chicago conference was an ad-
journed SESSION of the conference re-
Gently held in Washington at which
Ernest Cherrington, secretary OF the
Committee on Financial Management
of the Anti-Saloon League OF Amer
lca, submitted tentative program for
the future activities of the League.
At the Washington conference the
general provisions were agreed upon
but there were some details upon
which the representatives of the state
organizations sought more intelligence
and which they wished to take up and
discuss with the folks back home.
At the Chicago gathering these de-
tails came up and were threshed out
and by unanimous vote it was decided
to take up and develop the program of
the Committee on Financial Manage
ment as a partnership effort in which
the state and national organizations
will work together.
Ground work of the intensive spe-
cial drive will be begun at once. A
special organization to direct the work
will be made. However, the real Pc
riod of the financial drive is expected
to be the week beginning January 10,
the date on which the constitutional
amendment becomes operative.
1t has not oeep decided whether the
drive will be accomplished in one
great national effort or in a regional
effort.
During the conference every speaker
made it plain that the next duties of
the Anti-Saloon League are along the
lines of law enforcement and educa-
ton of the American people, Ameri-
canization of foreign-born residents
and their children, and world Pro-
hibition. Everybody believed that
Prohibition had come to stay. but
there was an insistence that the work
of the League in America itself would
not be completed until after enforce
ment and due respect for the law had
been doubly assured.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1919-09-26

This is the genus of the Anti
Saloon League. 1t explains why
the League has always been sue
cessful. In the conference there
was more or less OF diversity of
opinion, especially regarding de-
tails, but no diversity OF opinion
regarding the main line OF en-
deavor. After thoroughly thresh-
ing out propositions before them
ior two days and arguing back
and forth over details, the mem-
9ers OF the conference voted unan-
rlously on the propositions before
them when they came up for hnal
decision.

Defiance of Law

fused to testify for fear of incrimin-
ating himself, the judge said, Il call
the attention of you gentlemen sitting
around here that you see disclosed in
this court what put this country dry

Again when Mr.. Remus objected to
certain question the judge said,
"Ths question here is not how many
TRUCKS he owns, but what he has been
doing in open defiance of the law.
When plea was made to reduce the
$4,000 bond which the truck drivers
were compelled to give, Judge Lands
refused same saying, 81 have a clear
cut conviction that this amount is not
excessive in the case of these men

fame Of the law. They simply made
up their minds that this law was not

Warrant Not Needed

Warrant Not Needed
The first move by Mr. Remus, chief
attorney for the liquor interests, was
a nattempt to prove that the warrant
under which the truck drivers were
arrested was insufficient. Earl Cas-
person, Zion City constable, who
made the arrests had testified as to
the mode of procedure. After consid-
cradle argument during which Mr.
Remus pointed out that the search
and seizure section of the Prohibition
enforcement law required the serving
OF a warrant for each lot of liquor
seized, Judge Lands ruled that under
another section of the Illinois law the
constable acted within his legal
power. Having captured the men in
the act of law violation transporting
liquor) it was not necessary to have a
specific warrant. (This ruling by
Judge Lands was contrary to ruling
made several weeks previously by
Municipal Judge Stewart when he de-
cided that a Chicago policeman had
no right to arrest men who were
caught in the act of transporting
liquor.)
Claimed Beer Intoxicating
The next move by the attorney for
the beer truck men was an attempt to
prove that the beer captured was nom
intoxicating. Chemists who tested
samples testified that the alcoholic
content was over three per cent. Tes-
timony relative to samples of beer
brought out that the beer transported
from Wisconsin was of certain brands
manufactured by the Pabst, the Blatz,
and the Miller Brewing Companies of
Milwaukee. There was considerable

Brewery President Testiies

The president of the Miller Brew
ing Company was then called to the
stand He testified that since August
6, his plant had been manufacturing
beer containing from LIS to ESQ per
cent OF alcohol. He stated that the
brand captured with the trucks was
not a near beer, but contained the
higher percentage of alcohol. Off
cials Of the Pabst and BlatZ breweries
were also put on the stand and testi-
fed that in the process of manufac-
ture, more than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol was put into the beer
Of the brands captured by the beer
smuggling trucks. 1t was also
brought out that the beer in question
was sterilized at the brewery to pre-
vent fermentation from increasing the
alcoholic content.

discussion on the question of whether
the liquor was actually non-intoxicat-
ing. Judge Lands intimated that in
asmuch az the Illinois law set one
half OF one per cent as the maximum,
all testimony and argument as to
whether the beverage was actually in
toxicating was immaterial. During
this discussion attorney Remus ad-
vanced the theory that exposure to
the sun had raised the alcoholic con-
tent OF the beer beyond the legal limit
while it was in the custody of Zion
City officials.
