BIG CACHE OF
BOOZE RAlDED

A liquor "plant" containing 1886
quarts of Canadian whiskey and
five quarts Of moonshine product,
and thought by local officers to be
the chief cource of supply for Fargo
and Moorhead, was unearthed Sun.
day morning by federal prohibition
officers working out of Fargo, at the
home of Charles Schumacher, 521
Ninth street north, Moorhead.
The officers were tipped off that
liquor had been obtained there, and
accompanied by Chief Erickson OF
the Moorhead police, and armed with
search warrant, they invaded the
premise but it took a search OF
more than an hour before the liquor
was found.
The plant was hidden in a hole in
the ground under one of the bed rooms
with a carpet over the trap door and
it took two automobiles to haul the
liquor to the federal offices in Far.

dence.

900 to $1,000 and the authorities arc
Of the opinion that it is not entire
ly the property of Schumacher, but
that there are others interested
Schumacher is being held at the Clay
county Jail in Moorhead pending his
preliminary hearing, before the fed
eral court which has been set for
today.

Federal authorities who have inves-
tigated the case of the men captured
last Thursday by Sheriff Larson, and
who it was alleged had about 200
quarts of booze in their cars, have
turned the men loose. There seems
to be some kind of a hitch in the law,
which provides that the men must be
caught with the booze in their actual
possession before prosecution can be
pushed. Since it is said the men did
not have the booze in the cars at the
time of the capture, having hidden it
along the road, they could not be held
until further evidence is obtained.
Whether further action will be taken
is not known. The booze, however,
has been confiscated, and if this hot
weather does not shrink UP the visible
supply of booze now in the possess
sion Of the authorities by the time the
government orders it destroys, there
will be a funeral of this booze some
time in the near future.

CAN They GUAR :
ANTEE DEPOSITS

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 10-Can the
state of North Dakota constitutionally
guarantee the deposits Of the state
bank?
This question has been propounded
to some of the best legal minds in the
Northwest, and their answer is unani-
mously in the negative. H..
These attorneys reason that de-
post is an obligations debt of the
bank, which. if the bank should fail to
pay, would become an obligation Of
the state. In brief. in law it amounts
to debt of the state and is in direct
conflict with the constitution.
Mr.. Townley's new constitution pro-
vides for two million dollar unse-
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1920-08-12

cured debt limit without security
the state may not obligate itself to
pay more than two million dollars.
This limit was reached by the execu-
ton of the bonds for the capiral Of
the Bank of North Dakota, and since
these bonds have been placed as Sc
curity for loan from Chicago bank,
there can be no question about the
states obligation. It naturally fol-
lows that the state may not incur any
further unsecured debt.
To be sure, some several millions Of
bonds may be issued if secured upon a
physical property of state owned util-
tiles, or an unlimited number of mil
lions upon real estate esecured-farm
lands. E 1885, q
eve will assume" said prominent
Bismarck attorney, "for the purpose
of argument, that the Bank of North
Dakota becomes insolvent, and it de-
wolves upon the state to make good,
say fifteen millions Of deposits. Could
the state issue bonds for the purpose
of paying depositors of the bank? Ma
turally it could not. If it could not is
sue bonds, could the state board of
equalization levy a tax in excess of
the debt limit Naturally not. A debt
limit covers all obligations, and an
obligation evidenced by a statute in
stead of duly executed bond, is as
much within the debt limit as the
bond. The obligation of the state to
pay depositors of the bank fifteen mil
lion dollars under the provisions of
tho stat,1to &c within tho doht limit II,
the same manner. and to the same ex-
tent as to attempt to issue bonds for
the same amount"

The vaudeville play, "The Knut with
the Chicken" will be shown at the
Grand this evening. 1t is a short act,
lasting about eighteen minutes. A
live chicken of the feathered variety
is used in the act, and the funny an
tics of the popular chicken keep the
audience in an uproar of laughter. A
man is finally persuaded from the au-
dience to step up on the stage-then
the fun starts between the three peo-
pie and the funny chicken. It's good
cure for the blues. After the curtain
falls you will go out and say: "Well
how did he do it 2"
