cation of reported Migrant violations

Low with arrests If the situation war

Attorney General Palmer said that
the department of justice would pro-
coed with test cases in states where
the act Is being violated. but said he
should think 1T In up to congress to
provide a DEFINITE law under which to
proceed.
As to congressional action there is
indication that the respite which light
beer is now enjoying may continue.
Dry leaders in congress today decided
determined upon yesterday to rush
through separate legislation for the
enforcement OF wartime prohibition.

content"
The attorney called atten-

Officers OF the Second precinct are
pulling over the darkest mystery to
confront them in recent years. This
mystery is not concerning the disap-
2earance Of anyone. murder. or the
whereabouts Of culprit. The police
feel satisfied that the guilty man Is
safely locked in one of the modern cells
Of the station.
The puzzle is. why was the crime
committed. With the thermometer
soaring towards the top Of the tube
and the husky enforcers of the law
mcpping perspiring countenances, De-
tective- Sergeants Tilier and Waymack
appeared at the station with young
negro between them The desk SER
seant took his pen in hand and
promptly spilled ink on the book when
informed that the negro. Oliver Nor
ton. by name, was charged with the
theft OF two overcoats. The desk SER
geant shook his head wonderinEly and
expressed the belief that nothing could
beat 1t except the arrest Of someone
for stealing Ice from the canal next
winter.
