BLIND TIGER
DAY OBSERVED
IN CITY COURT
Hard Fight Made in Behalf
of RObinOwitz, Owner
of Building.

It was blind tiger day in city court
today. Five alleged tenders of Illicit
liquor faced the judge.
Some attorneys appealed TO Judy ga
Walter Pritchard for sympathy for their
clients because of "the conditions Of the
family" Other attorneys fought for their
clients freedom on technicaHties OF law.
One of the bitterest legal fights was
waged In the case of Herman Robino-
WITT, proprietor Of a building Mt 500.
S5G5, S5S, and S58A South Meridian
street The hearing was on a petition
tending to show that the search warrant
called for only the store room at 800
South Meridian street. Evidence was In
troduced to show that RobinoWitz, while
he owns the entire building, has a store
Mt S56 South Meridian street, and lives
at S5Sb South Meridian street, and that
the forty gallon still nine gallons or
whisky, 100 gallons Of mash and stove
were found In two rear rooms at SJ61a.
R0binowitz denied all knowledge of the
liquor and still and claimed he rented
the apartment where the liquor was
found to a man named Morris Green
burg, whose present address is unknown.
Judge Pritchard refused to discharge
him but continued the case indefinitely,
suggesting to the officers that an
affidavit be issued for Greenburg and
a search be made for him.
FINE AND JAIL
TERM GIVEN.
Earl Chapel, 726 North East street,
was fined 500 and costs and sentenced
to serve thirty days in Jail. His wife,
Opal Chapel, was tried at the same time
and charges against her were continued
indefinitely.

IT'S WORLD TASK

IT'S WORLD TASK
By COL. EDWARD NJ. HOUSE.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29-The
Washington conference has clearly
developed the necessity for another
conference with a wider scope. It
has become evident that If the world
is to have limitation of armaments
and International understanding that
are satisfying, all nations must be
included and not merely q group Of
victorious powers.
Those nations now represented at
Washington could maintain peace for a
while 10y their own prowess. but they
could not maintain it Indefinitely. Look
ing into the future. We can see the pessi-
biIity Of Germany and Russia disputlng
the right Of the powers now assembled
az Washington to make laws and deci-
si0us which would also bind them. To
assume to do this merely invites future
trouble.
It IS often stated that Great Britain
and the United States could OF themselves
maintain the peace a. the world il an
agreement could be reached To do so,
and IN truth they could for q while. but
such an alliance, even If made for the
highest and most aItruistic purposes and
for the general good. would bring about
q feeling q resentment throughout more
than half the world. This feeling would
gather impetus year by year until the
time was considered propirious TO give
Il vent and then there would be another
clash Of arms such as we have just passed
through. Therefore, those who have this
A1l-meaning plan IN mind had best give
up, for our condition with II would
be verse than without IL Even as il IS,
we find some annoyance felt az the gen
eraI accord which IS evldeBcinc itself IN

the United States. The Latins do not ike

STATUS OF SMALL
POWER GROUPS.
It was inevitable that the world War
should leave 6 smaller group o. powers
than before It began, and 1t was also
inevitable that in the victorious group
there would be two powers left greater
