CONTENTS OF BOTTLE
PUZZLES LOCAL POLICE

An unusual and perplexing problem
was placed before Assistant District
Attorney Archer today by the police.
The latter could not solve it; conse-
Quently it was left to the court off,
cial.
The problem is: What charge can
be placed against a man who tried to
climate whisky bottle? The con-
coction doesn't have the penetrating
odor of alcohol, nor any other smell
with which the police are acquainted.
And yet they were afraid to sample
it, Therefore they could not charge
the alleged bootlegger with violation
of the Volstead act.
The alleged bootlegger is George
Cox, colored. who was arrested by
two policewomen last night. when. it
is said, the colored man tried to sell
them the unknown connection for SIS.
They brought Cox to police head
tempting to obtain money under false
pretenses.
However when the colored man
was brought to Police Court today
for trial there was a debate between
the police and court officials as to
whether he could be convicted on
that charge. suppose the bottle con-
tanned more than one-half of l per
cent alcohol" queried a. court Of
fetal Then" he said. I'VE could
charge him with selling liquor"
might be the case. So the bottle
containing the mysterious connection
was turned over to chemist to
analyze Until a report is received
from the chemist Cox will not know
on what charge he is to be tried.

PLEA TO PRESIDENT
MADE BY OPERATORS

Efforts to get President Wilson to
interfere in the coal strike now tying
up lines in Illinois and adjoining
states were renewed today by a COM
mittee of operators which called on
Secretary Tumulty and discussed the
situation with him at length
Neither party to the conference would
say what might come out of il. but it
became known that the operators
suggested a definite plan which they
hope President Wilson will follow.
They agreed on this plan last night
following a talk with Mr.. Tumulty
yesterday.
F. c. Honnold, secretary of the ILL
nois Coal Operators Association, on
leaving the White House specifically
denied that the operators were in
clined to treat with the day laborers
at the mine who were demanding an
increase in pay. He said that these
men were working under one of three
contracts made between the operators
and the miners and that it would be
against public policy to allow the
miners to break such Il contract when
ever they saw fit.
In a memorandum left for Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday, the operators
said they did not feel bound except
through some government action to
depart from the existing contracts
with the men, which contract was
based on the wage scale fixed by the
government commission named by
President Wilson last December
