RACED HORSES
DOWN HIGHWAY
LIKE THE WIND

ii f 49,
Thomas J. Gallagher and nephew,
Thomas Gallagher, mounted two
horses and tore down the road west
of Reedsburg like mad. The two
riders dug their. heels into the sides of
the beasts and the animals went
snorting down the highway through
thick and thin, stones flying and
lose garmets fluttering in the wind.
The more they cudgeled the flying
steeds the more they seemed to be
possessed, just like demon Old
Gunpowder, with Ichabod Crane on
I Sleepy Hollow on that fatal night,
when the headless horseman was hard
| pressing his heels.
| The Gallaher race resulted in the
most valuable horse daShing into an
automobile driven by Earl Wadleigh,
the machine being owned by the F..
M. Finck & Henry Scholtz garage at
Reedsburg. Mr. Gallagher was thrown
about fifteen feet but fortunately es-
capped serious injury. The horse he
was riding was stallion valued at
about $3.50 and for this amount he
brought action against the Reedsburg
firm.
A car had stalled west of Reeds
burg and Wadleigh went to give as
sistance The stalled car was behind
the one which had given aids Wadleigh
testified that he was running slow
, and got his car almost into the ditch
before struck by the horse. The acct
dent happened at a slight curve in
1.-The highway.
I Soon after the horse was injured DR..
R. G.. Coulson, a veterinarian, came
along and advised the horse be killed,
which was done.

DRY AMENDMENT
NOW UNDER FIRE
NEW JERSEY QUESTIONS THE
coNSTITuTIoNAlITY OF THE
PROHIBITION MEASURE.
Supreme Court Hears Arguments by
Representatives of Brewing Inter
este, Who Claim Personal Rights
Have Been Ignored.

Nashington.-A possibility that the
supreme court might pass final judg-
nIent on prohibition questions before
IL by the middle of April was seen by
some observers in the announcement
on Monday that the court recess Ia
be taken after arguments on these
eases would extend to April 10 in
stead of April II. The opinion was
expressed that IA decision might be
rendered immediately when the court
reconvenes.
Further argument on questions
touching ON validity of the constitu-
tiona amendment and the enforce.
ment act was presented on March 20,
They were in connection with the orig
inal suit brought by New Jersey as
well as appeals from that state and
from Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Ken
lucky and Massachusetts cases have
already been argued and will be con-
sidered at the same time.
Elihu Root, representing Christian
Feigenspan, brewer of Newark, n.

Gran of New Jersey, in opposition to
the constitutional amendment, and
Assistant Attorney General William l..
Frierson for the government addressed
the court.
Mr.. Root characterized the prohibi-
ton amendment as new legislation.
made under "cOlOr of an amendment"
affecting personal rights. If its wax
idity was upheld, he said, the effect
would be that the court recognized
in addition to the legislative powers
of congress and the states a third leg
islative power, enactment of legisla-
ton by consent of three-fourths of the
states, which, he said, would be IA
perversiOn net only of the word but
of the whole tone of the constitution"
Attorney General McCran contend
ed that the amendment was legisa-
tive in nature and revolutionary in
character and was not adopted by
two-thirds Of the membership of con-
gress nor ratified by three-fourths of
the states, owing to referendum pro-
visions in various state constitutions.
On the governments behalf Mr..
Frierson reiterated arguments made in
the Rhode Island case that the ques-
ton of the amendments validity is
not justifiable. The eighteenth
amendment could have been inserted
in the original constitution and for
that reason, he said, he could not see
the force of arguments that 1t cannot
be inserted by amendment. It's effect,
he said. was merely TO give congress
authority to enforce prohibition.

GERMANS ACCUSED
OF EVADING TREATY
ovERSuPPlY OF ARTILLERY is
FOUND IN THE VICINITY OF
BERLIN BY COMMISSION.
Discovery Causes Skeptieisn as to
Reason Given for Permission to
Send Troops Into Neutral and
unoccupied Regions.

Paris.-Three thousand five hundred
three-inch field guns have been found
by the interalied commission In the
vicinity of Berlin alone and altogether
1000 OF these guns have thus far been
discovered throughout Germany, as
well rs GOO0 airplanes intact
According TO the terms of the treaty
of Versailles The German army should
now have only 2O4 three-inch guns and
no airplanes whatsoever.
These discoveries and other informa-
tion have caused consideration skepric-
ism among authorities here as to the
reason given for the request of the Ber-
lin government that il be permitted TO
send troops into the neutral and oc-
cupied areas.
The fact that the request came be-
fore the Germans had executed any
material clause of the treaty, although
the time limit has expired on some
three score of its provisions, is de-
clared in French official circles as lay
ing the Germans open TO suspicion of
treaty provisions.
Particular significance is attached
by the French to the discovery of the
guns, since the Germans In a COM
munication To the allied commission
TO which their excess of war material
should have been delivered by March
10, said it made no difference whether
this material be delivered or destroyed,
and that they preferred to destroy it.
Thus far, however. on March 81, no
evidence had been obtained by the com
mission of any destruction of material
by the Germans. Lists have been fur
nished, II was said. but 1t has been i'm
possible to verify them up to this time.
Premier Millerand declared Saturday
In the chamber Of deputies.
Germany has done little or nothing,
the French declare, toward execution
of about thirty-six clauses Of the treaty
on which the limit has already expired
The only provision, so far as France
Is concerned, that has been duly exc
cuted is that providing for the deliv-
cry of seeds for the spring planting
in the devasted regions. 1t is admitted,
however, that something has been done
regarding some of the general provi-
sions, such as reduction of the military
schools

Berlin.-Conditions in Germany are
described by the minister of defense
as extremely serious.
You cannot paint the situation
throughout Germany too black" an
official mt the ministry declared.
The situation In Berlin itself was
characterized as bad" In one case
a company of volunteers had been
overpowered by Spartacan forces, its
officers killed and their bodies mu-
tilated.
The marine brigade and the Baltic
troops, which occupied Berlin during
the kapp regime, have been cleared
out from Charlottenburg and have
Joined the other military units at the
Doeberitz camp, where all are refit-

tors of Berlin. Neukolellen and Tenn

quarters in the suburgs, where disor-
ders occurred Saturday, have been
quoted by government troop activi-
ties.
1t is openly predicted that it needs

is the opinion of every well-informed
person who has recently been in
touch with the German situation. The

FL Paso, Texas.-It has been learned
here that an entire Mexican farm set

than fifty men. women and children
and burned their homes and crops.
Angered because small party OF

These survivors, there is reason to
believe, would have escaped with their

with grief over the loss of his wife and
family, attacked Villa and attempted
to wrest the rebel leaders gun from
