Brews Liquor, jailed;
President Pardons Him

In granting a pardon to John w.
Schwensberg, of Cincinnati, yester-
day, President Wilson established
a precedent which, IL is predicted
here. will go a long distance toward
limiting the prosecution of persons
found making beer or other intox-
icants In their own homes for do
mestic consumption.
Schwensberg was recently sem
fenced to six months in the State
penitentiary of Ohio for distilling
whisky from corn mash in his own
kitchen. His case was appealed to
President Wilson, who granted a
full pardon on the ground that
Schwensberg was apparently max

own use, that he .was a laborer
with a wife and four children who
would suffer II he was confined in
the penitentiary, and that his previ-

D.C.LUNCHROOM
MILK INSPECTED
Sanitary Chief Has 100
Samples Of Product Sold
Recently.

More than 100 samples of milk
taken from District lunchrooms are
being anslyzed by chemists of the
District health department, DR.. r
R. Ashworth. chief sanitary inspec-
tor of the department, said yester-
day.
Although eating houses undergo
their most rigid inspection in the
summer months, health department
officials do not intend to reduce
their vigilance to any great extent
during the winter.
The health department several
weeks ago began a campaign to as
certain the sanitary conditions OF
local lunchrooms. The analysis OF
the milk probably will conclude the
drive, but the department will con-
tinue to keep a watchful eye on
lunchroms. nevertheless. Proprie-
tors of eating houses are liable to
prosecution IL the milk served in
their establishments fails to meet
the requirements of the department
The department continues to wait
for action from New York state
milk producers, 80 of whom were
denied permits to brink milk into
the District two monts ago, because
the department was not satisfied
whether the New York cattle were
free from tuberculosis. The appli-
cations for permits were made by
the Merrill Soule Company of New
York City. representing the produc-
ers. Health officials expected the
New York producers to bring about
a test case to determine the depart
ment's authority in ordering the
tuberculin test for cattle.

G. 0. P. League Alarms
England and France

Both England and France Are
greatly alarmed over the possibility
Of an entirely new association Of
nations being formed as suggested
by the Republican party platform.
and are willing to make any DOS
sible concession that will induce the
United States to enter the present
league, according to an Official close
to the French Embassy, last night.
All nations realize that the powers
OF the league council. either to pre-
vent war or even guide diplomacy
are very small SO long as the United
states holds aloof, he said.
A new association, IL formed. how
ever, would. he was convinced. bring
the United States into immediate
conflict with the organization al
ready under way at Geneva.
The pursuance of such a plan %
ne continued, would create two
rival world organizations, each
seeking to express the morI sense
OF the world and each inevitably
coming into constant collision with
the other. As result, neither
would be efficient and both would
be discredited." -

OBREGON RULE
WINNING FAVOR
Colby Dispatches Note,
Officer as Unofficial In
augural Observer.

Prior to the departure of Roberto
v. Pesqueira, confidential agent OF
the Mexican government, yesterday
for Mexico City, it became known
that Secretary of State Colby was
working on a new noteNto Mexico
stating in more specific terms the
conditions to which the United
States would have to adhere in ex-
tending recognition. Inasmuch as
the Colby note will come as a Sc
quence to conversations between the
Secretary of State and Mr.. Pes
guerra. who was a dinner guest at
the Colby home Tuesday. the COM
munication was regarded as likely
to go a step farther toward recogni-
ton.
Mr.. Pesqueira left Washington to
attend the exercises incident to the
Inauguration of General Alvaro
Obregon as president of Mexico. His
mission in Washington has been
far more successful than was be-
lieved possible when he permitted
himself to accept the tutelage in
diplomacy Of George Creel, and IL is
conceded generally that he has ad-
vanced the Mexican cause consider
ably.
Although 1t has been stated by
competent authorities that Gen. oh,
regon would not reappoint PesqueirA
to the Washington post, the latter
assured his friends here he expected
to return. He is to be married in
Tucson, Ari., to a Mexican girl re-
siding there.
What is regarded as a further in
dication of the State Departments
desire to impress Gen. Obregon with
its friendliness toward him was the
departure from Washington of Col.
Harvey j. Miller, U. S. A, who will
attend the inaugural exercises as an
unofficial observer. Gen. Obregon
made special request that Col. Mil
Ter be detailed for each duty, be-
cause of personal friendship grow
ing out of an association when the
Presidept-elect toured the United
States few years ago. Col. Miller
was summoned to Washington a
week ago from his post at Douglas,
Ariz., where he was in command of
an infantry unit. After he obtained
transportation. his orders were coun-
termanded by Undersecretary of
State Davis, because of a fear the
ofiicers presence might be taken as
indicating formal recognition. The
matter was Strengthened out and
Col. Miller left Washington on a
late afternoon train. He will be the
guest of George T, Summerlin,
charge d'affaires at the American
Embassy.

SAY She TAUGHT PARROT
TO 'tCUSS" HER HUSBAND
Witnesses Back Up Sergeant's Di-
vorce Plea-"Bird's Language
Worse Than German Cas-"

ATLANTIC CITY. May 15.-If wife
teaches a parrot to "cuss out" her
husband. is it sufficient grounds for
divorce?
This issue has been put UP to Spe-
cial Master in Chancery Slack In the
suit. brought by Maltby H. Messick. a
city fireman and overseas veteran,
against Mary r. Messick.
Mrs. Mamie Allen, a relative of the
defendant, testified that during a
visit to her home in Philadelphia
Mrs. Messick had a parrot In the room
with her constantly and 1t received q
regular schooling in modern cussing.
Mrs. Messick, according to Mrs. Al
len, said she was teaching the bird
to cuss and swear so it could express
her opinion of her husband when he
got home"
Messick, who was a top sergeant in
Battery d, 112th Artillery, admitted
the bird had an entirely new line
that was worse than any German
gas he had bumped into Capt.
Hiram Steelman, his old commander,
now his counsel. pins his entire case
on the linguistic parrot.
