MAN STUMBLES UPON FOUR
KEGS OF GOOD OLD LIQUOR

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Richmond Road, Texas, Oct. IA
Deputies from Sheriff Binford's office
had "raidp literally thrust upon
them Friday afternoon, when they re-
ceived telephone call from Leonard
Rice, Negro of this place.
The call told of stumbling on four
kegs of liquor, carefully hidden in tall
weeds near the junction of Richmond
and Fondren roads. Deputy Rogers
and McCullum Immediately hied them
selves to investigate and upon arrival
found four small barrels of good quail
ity moonshine and part of a still.
This they took with them. No arrests
were made.
According to Rice who discovered"
the still, he was working on a fence
at the time and stumbled on the bar
rels. Officers said that the liquor had
been placed there several days ago.
undoubtedly by someone who intend
ed coming back for it after he had
found a more hidden location than the
one he previously operated. Officers
are confident. Rice had nothing to do
with the contraband and Friday were
praising his honesty in reporting the
matter to officers.

JUDGE BEN LINDSEY
RATHER LENIENT WITH
PETTY BOOTLEGGERS
Especial To The Tribunel

Denver, Colo, Oct. 14-on the
ground that "it would be unjust to
punish lesser offender against the
bootleg laws, while wealthy social
leaders of Capitol hill are allowed
to have their wine cellars without
fear of molestation," Judge Ben B.
Lindsey, of the juvenile court, today
freed Chester Lasater and Clete Hin
ton, accused Of giving young girls
liquor to drink.
In statement read in open court,
Judge Lindsey charged that ga con-
spiracy exists among the rich to have
the laws enforced only against the
poor"
IF we are to have Jail sentences"
said Judge Lindsey. ~ would recon-
mend that the prominent men in
volved in the delivery of thousands
of dollars worth of flrst-class booze
free of the poisons that in the booze
of the poor are punishment enough
lie followed, prosecuted and sent to
Jail.
Il would recommend that the socie-
ty leaders and women of prominence
who are interested in getting these
laws enforced send their investigators
into the homes of the rich with
search warrants to inspect their cell
ars and then have the courage to go
after them.
81 would recomm end that they call
one of our leading business men and
social lights before their boards and
committees and if possible make him
tell what he had to do with thousands
of dollars worth of first-class booze
found in his garage this week.
When the uplifters and upheavers
will do a little more work of this
kind it will do more to encourage
the courts to enforce the laws we
have than sentencing the poor devils
to jail and the penitentiary.'
Judge Lindsey also said from the
bench that he expected to be con-
demned at a mass meeting to be
held at the state house tonight for
the purpose of working up public
sentiment against enforcement of the
prohibition laws as result of his
statement in open cour+ tod9v. but
that he felt justified in refusing to
sentence the men before him to Jail.
II shall put these young people on
probation as the law permits me to
do" said Judge Lindsey, "and think
even directs in cases of this kind.
81 will not even sentence them to
go to church. What good would that
do? Many of the prominent men in
booze and sex cases in this town are
not only members of the church, but
pillars in the church This is also true
of some of our leading gamblers. Then
why should we expect that sentencing
them to church is going to do for
them what it hasn't done for some
of the pillars of the church? This is
not any reflection on the church"
The court room was crowded when
Judge Lindsey read his statement.

How they must. envy, as they con-

BLACK Magic, you know. owed his
repute to his power OF walking on
the water. Once a year he gathered
the Seneca tribe about him for an
exhibition of the miracle. The people
would gather in their thousands at
the lakeside. and after they had
waited patiently for some hours
Black Magic would appear in all the
splendor- of his medicine man ward

".Brothers.' he would shout. stand
