At the sound Of that sharp snort and
the deep "Woof, woof!" from the great
windfall Peter Rabbit and Jumper the
Hare once more took to their heels, ana
this time they did not stop until they
had put a long distance between them
and the great windfall. Presently, find
ing that they were not being followed
they stopped
"if that wasn't Bear, then ! never
heard one," declared Jumper when he
could get his breath.
"But Buster Bear isn't in that wind
fall. and Buster is the only Bear in all
the Green Forest" protested Peter.
81 can't help that" replied Jumper.
"No one but bear can make any such
sounds as those we heard. Do you sup
pose Buster could have got back under
that windfall from the other side with
out our knowledge?"
"No, siree," declared Peter stoutly
II left him tearing an old stump to
pieces and came over to join you just
as fast as l could run. Buster Bear
isn't in that old windfall 1t is some
one else"
Lets 60 back where we can watch
that old windfall. We can hide far
enough away to be safe," proposed
Jumper.
Peter hesitated, but finally agreed.
He knew that curiosity would never give
him any peace until he had learned the
truth about that mystery in the great
windfau. So very slowly and carefully,
stopping every two or three hops to sit
up and look and listen. Jumper the
Hare and Peter Rabbit stole back until
they could see the great windfall. Then
they hid in a patch of young hemlock
trees and stared out at the great wind
fall.
They had been there but few min
utes when Peter poked Jumper in his
ribs. Look! Look there!" whispered
Peter excitedly.
Out from under the great windfall
a big head was thrust 1t was the
head Of bear! There was no doubt
about it, But it wasn't Buster Bears
head. This head was brown! Yes, sir,
it was brown! 1t was the head of
strange bear.
For few minutes the stranger mere
ly blinked and yawned, showing great
teeth the very sight Of which made
Peter shiTer Then with another sharp
snort i've stranger came wholly out.

TRENTON, March 10.-With the in
dictment to-day by Federal grand
jury Of Edmond J. Labrecda1e, of
Newark, Federal enforcement officials
believe they have uncovered one of the
most gigantic liquor scandals developed
since the prohibition law became ef-
fective. Labrccque has been summoned
to appear in United States Court to-
morrow and it is said that he will be
required to furnish $4,000 bail for his
appearance for trial.

:, The grand jury returned three in
alctments against Labrecque Each, it
Is SAID, covers transactions compared
with which all of the other New JERSEY
liquor scandals are insignificant.
According to government agents the
Newark warehouse of which Labrecoue
had charge was the principal source of
supply OF liquor for the entire north
ern part of the state and also for New
YORK City. 1T is asserted by the Off
ciafs that they have evidence showing
that the liquor flowed in almost unin-
terrupted streams from The warehouse
and Labrecque. it is charged, was re-
sponsible for the leak.

Peter gasped. The strangers coat was
wholly brown! 1t was unbelievable,
but it was SO. Both Peter and Jumper
rubbed their eyes, but all the rubbing
in the world wouldn't change the color
of that coat. 1t was brown. There
wasn't any black about it.
For while the stranger sat blinking
and yawning. Then after few long
stretches the stranger shuff1ed off
among the trees Jumper stared at
Peter and Peter stared at Jumper.
Now, what do you make Of that?" de-
manded Jumper at last.
Simply that there is a strange bear
in the Green Forest and that we did
see a brown coat under the old wind
fall" replied Peter. "The mystery is
explained, but in it's place is another
mystery. Where did that bear come
from and who is it? How does that
coat happen~to be brown 2"
1T is too much for me-" replied
Jumper. "a bear with brown coat is
too much for me. Do you suppose
Buster knew that that Bear was in
there?'
"Of course he did. Didn't he warn
me to keep away from that windfall ?'
cried Peter. 1--WE must find Buster
again. He can explain all about that
stranger. My, my, my, but this is ex-
citing news! l don't believe anybody
but Buster and you and I know about
that stranger. Let's go hunt for Bus

Daugherty Urged to
Reverse Beer Decision
Rer. ". F. Crafts and Dr.. Wiley
Protest against the Accepf.
at,ce OF the Palmer Ruling
from TIE Tribune. Washin oto,, r,

From The Tribune's Washington, Bureau
WASHINGTON, March TO- - The
overruling of former Attorney General
Palmer's decision permitting the pre-
scrlolng OF beer as medicine in un-
limited quantities was asked to-day Of
Attorney General Daugherty by the
Rev. Wilbur +. Crafts, superintendent
Of the International Reform Bureau.
"This unscientifc decision" said the
Rev. Mr.. Crafts, in his letter to the
Attorney General, "is not only peril
to the public, but threatens to shame
the honor of doctors and druggists" +"
He also cited the action Of the Amer
lean Medical Association in opposing
the use of alcohol as a tonic or stimu-
liant.
Signing himself yours for better
world here and now" Mr. Crafts in
closed statement dictated at his re-
n1er chief of the United States Bureau
of Chemistry.
DR.. Wiley's statement declared that
II the ruling stands, "the vitality and
morbidity statistics will be swelled by
such new multitude of sick and con-
va!escent as to try the capacity of the
printing presses of the Census Bureau.
Rated on the scale Of usage, there
fore. beer had not now and never has
iou any SthHulHS as recognized reme-
dial agent" said DR.. Wiley's statement.
What has been the practical result
OF placing whisky among remedial
agents which may be prescribed by
physicians? 1t has brought criticism
upon the ethical members of the med
lcal profession. So great has this
abuse grown to be that many people
look upon doctor as a caterer for in
toxicating liquors and upon the drug
gist as a barkeeper
us there any one in this country
simple enough to believe that should
beer go upon the prescription list it
would be drunk only by invalids and
convalesccnt3?
Already application has been made
70 start breweries for making medici-
nal beer. If the ruling of the forme,
Attorney General is carried into effect
the profits of beer brewing in this
country will rise to heights never
known before. Those who have the
welfare Of the medical and pharma,
ceutical profession at heart, and whe
want to see an honest and efficient ex,

"Gentlemen of the jury" he began,
King solomon was wise, wise man.
He had thousand wives. Solomon
said there was nothing new under the

In the criminal courts.
Gentlemen. l cannot do justice to
my client or to myself. There are

said:
Gentlemen, have heard Of lawyers
not. having much Of a case and in a
final effort to save their clients resort
Ing to camoufage. We have had enough
In this case. There will be no more.
The beauty of our laws is that when a
defendant cannot afford to engage
counsel the court has the power to
understand how some counsel can spend
so much Of their time without pay and
maintain home on Riverside Drive"
Bell was accused of having robbed
Henry Butler of $112 in saloon at
No. 2,192 Fifth Avenue on the night Of
December 10, last. Harrington Rey-
nolds, who was arrested with Bell,

Sullivan law and was sentenced to jail

After deliberating two and half
hours. with one intermission and that

the jury returned verdict of guilty of
grand larceny in the second degree.

time during the trial doubted the guilt
