STATE AGENTS WILL BE
PROSECUTED IF GUILTY
OF VIOLA TONS- BROWN

Ii Charles Burton and Frank Davis,
state agents under arrest at Lakeview,
are guilty of any violation of the state
prohibition law they win be prosecuted
the same as any other citizen, accord
ing to Attorney General Brown who
has sent instructions to that effect To
L. 5. Mckinney, district attorney for
Lake county. There is no occasion for
any impression that the governors Of
lice or the attorney general are trying
to shield the state agents or to excuse
any offense against the laws of the
state of which they may have been
guilty on the grounds that they were
in the employ of the state, Brown
states.
Ii the men, who are charged with
distributing liquor to whosoever would
drink, including women, are guilty as
charged the fact that they violated the
law in pursuit of their duties as state
agents and without any criminal intent
this explanation can not be used in de-
Tense of their actions but might serve
to mitigate any punishment that would
be meted out to them in the event they
are found guilty when tried, Brown
has advised Mckinney.
Information reaching the attorney
generals office is to the effect that
the trial of Burton and Davis is set
for Tuesday.
If the men are guilty of the COM
mission of crime within the spirit
OF the law they should be prosecut-
ed by proper officers but the crimin-
al law should not be permitted to be
used by persons to crafty revenge"
Attorney General Brown instructs T.
IS. Mckinney, district attorney for
Lake county in a telegram forward
ed today.
Reports reaching Governor Olcott
and Attorney General Brown here
relative to the arrest of the two state
|agents are highly conflicting. One
telegram signed by number of Lake
view citizens states that the men have
been guilty of distributing liquor.
This is counteracted by a telegram
from s. f. Shonyo, deputy sheriff of
Lake county to the effect that the
ARREST of the men is due to enmity
aroused against the activities of the
agents which has resulted in the cap
ture of whiskey still. The district
attorney, the message states, had re-
fused to sign the complaint and the
prosecution was being pushed by S.
"A. Jetmore, Lakeview attorney. Sher-
fff e. e. Woodcock also telegraphs
that the agents have been doing good
work, confirming his deputy's report
relative to the capture Of the whiskey
still which is said to have led up to
the arrest of the men.

Refusal OF Holland To Sur
! render Fermer Kaiser First
Question Considered By
Ambassadors Council.

Paris, Jan. 26.-The reply to the re-
fusal of the Dutch government to COM
ply with the demand of the allies ror
the surrender Of former Emperor
William was the first subject discussed
today at the initial meeting of III
council of the ambassador, created to
carry on the unfinished routine work
of the supreme council Of the peace
conference, which disbanded last week.
1t was decided that the French legal
experts available should go into all the
aspects of the case and prepare the
reply, which probably will be submit
ted for approval of the council early
next week.
Wallace Attends. -.
The council was presided over by
Premier Millerand. Hugh G. Wallace,
the American ambassador, was pres
ent with tho other members of the
body. After d;sposing for the day of
the extradition question the council de
cided to give the representatives of the
Jugo-Slavs four days additional time
to reply regarding the proposed COM
promise on the Adriatic question, in
Guiding the disposition of Fiume. This
carries the question along until We'd
nesday.
The council received a letter from
Stanislas Patek. Polish minister of for
eign affairs, calling attention to the
possibility of a strong aggressive move
ment by the bolsheviki against Polish
territory and recommending that a
plan be adopted for defensive meas
ures. The letter asked that the ques-
ton be called to the attention of Mar
shall Foch.
German Protest Heard.
The council also had before it a note
from the German plenipotentiaries
raising certain points regarding the
make up of the boundary commission
provided for by the treaty of Versail-
les. The questions will be raised by
the Germans because Of the non-ratifi-
cation of the treaty by the United
States and the consequent lack OF
American members on the commits
sions as provided for by the peavs
document. The absence of the Amer
leans also raised question as to the
presidency of the commissions to con-
troll the plebiscite in the Teschen ter
ritory, on the Czecho-Slovak-P P olisl,
frontier. 1t was pointed out that the
French member would act, pending the
qualification Of the American member
