WHISKEY CHANGED TO WATER
BUT PLAINTIFF LOSES

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. ga
verdict In favor of the defendant
was made this morning in the dis
trict court here by Judge Freeman
Woodbridge in a case which was
heard in court June 21, last. being
that of Wendell Smith. local saloon
keeper. of French street, against
Walter d. Hines. director general

of New Jersey and the Raritan Riv-
er railroad, for $500, the value of
barrel Of whiskey which, the plain
tiff claimed. proved to be water

ed at the June hearing that The bar
rel had contained Green River whis-
key while at Pier No. 10. North
river. and he claimed that the whis-
key was taken from the barrel and
water put in it's place during its trip
on the Central and Raritan River
railroads to New Brunswick.
In making known his verdict
Judge Woodbridge said: 1T is un-
disputed that the barrel when OPEN
ed contained water, but whether
this water was Ashokan water from
the mountain streams of the Cats
kills, Croton water from the river
of that name, New York harbor
water, Raritan river water. or Law
rtnce Brook water. does not appear.
but one thing is certain and that is
that it was not the well known and
in these days coveted. mountain dew
Of Kentucky"
The barrel of "whiskey" accord
ing to the evidence given in the
case, after being received by Smith,
lay in his saloon for more than
month before 1t was opened. Then
it was found to contain water and

FREU|NGHUYSEN
FOR ECONOMY
Constructive Program for Ma.
ton Given in Speech by
New Jersey Senator Today
BY Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23--In the
senate today Senator Frelinghuysen
of New Jersey. delivered a speech
setting forth his ideas of a construc-
tive program for the nation.
Declaring that in view Of the
overwhelming majority given the
Republican party at the recent elec-
tion the responsibilities resting up
on that party were grave and that
the present was time for the ut
most caution, the senator said that
II we practice economy. II we avoid
entangling alliances. and IL we are
guided by the constitution, Il have
no question but that we shall de-
serve to remain in power and will
remain long time"
The first constructive idea offered
by the senator is that the vast army
of government employees at WASH
ington be reduced. He condemns
the war risk insurance as a failure,
due to the fact that great major
ity of the former service men have
not kept 1t up. What Is left of the
system he would turn over to the
pension department.
The senator then SHOWS the oyer
tapping of the different departments
and recommends complete re-or-
ganization. He urges the encour-
agement of an American merchant
marine and to that end he would
sci all government owned vessels to
private interests. I'VE must have
more business in the conduct of the
government and less government in
the conduct of business" he de-
clared.
A navy equal to our needs is fav-
ored, but the senator would favor
entering into a disarmament agree
ment with Great Britain and Japan
that each nation reduce its navy pro
rata. I'VE cannot lessen our arma b.
ment unless they do likewise" he
said. "Our future safety on beth
the Atlantic and Pacific demand this.
Iiliteracy must be stamped out
through the public schools, but the
senator is opposed to the federal
government doing for the states
what it is the duty of the states to
do for themselves. The way the gov
ernment at Washington. can help, he
said, is through the proper regula-
ton OF immigration. The immigrants
should not be admitted faster than
we can assimilate them.

RUSSIAN REDS
PLAN CAMPA|
Concentrate Forces for Drive
Which Will Eliminate Re-
public of Georgia.

by The Associated Press.
TIFLIS. Dec. 21-Russian bolshe-
vik forces appear to be concentrat-
ing for a campaign. which will
eliminate the republic of Georgia
from the map of the Caucus re-
gion. Heavy soviet forces have
been concentrated ut Tuapse. a port
on the eastern shore of the Black
sea, and at Gagri, a port still fur
ther to the southeast toward the
Georgian frontier. Other bolshevik
detachments are reported at Kayak
to the southeast of 1iflis. while the
tenth Bolshevik army, which has
been operating along the Armenian
frontier Is said TO have passed
through karakass. moving through
the Georgia republic.
Soviet troops along the frontier
of Akerbaijan, planned an official
early this month against Georgia.
but the move was countermanded
upon advice from M. Shiemann, So
Wet representative here, who
thought the moment for an often
sive campaign had not arrived.
Hope is entertained that the drive
seemingly eminent at present may
be postponed at the last moment.
Independent Georgia has been
tolerated by the Bolsheviki because
Of the trade advantages offered at
Batum which has been regarded in
Moscow as corridor which permit
ted the Bolsheviki to bring in sup
plies from Europe.
Reliable information from Batum
indicate serious disturbances, the
Georgian garrison there having re-
volted. This resulted in n panic and
people stormed the ships in the har-
Dor to escape before the arrival
Bolshevik troops, reported in the
neighborhood. 1t is understood the
allies regard the situation so SER
iously' that they have considered the
dispatch of warships to insure
evacuation of allied missions in
Georgia.

ators and cars expire at midnight,
Dec. 81. and New York registration
