Mrs. G. 2. Thomas, proprietor OF

sided, which the state sought to have
read from the preliminary hearing.
Mrs. Thomas is at present at Min
nesota sanitarium where her son
underwent an operation. Judge Cole,
however. gave the state additional
time to present legal arguments before
ruling finally. Mrs. Thomas evidence
was regarded by the state as among
the strongest it had to present.

the entire day in presenting evidence
against Mrs. Jesse James and Goldie
Gordon, was indicated on the opening
Of the third delivery OF the wonen's

AUTOS WITH BOOZE
MAYBE CoNFISCATED
And Even Buildings in Which Liquor
Reposes Illegally.

In the confiscation Of every auto
mobile caught in the transportation
of liquor in any quantity, the ancient
law of Moses and the Athenians will
be used, revenue agents of the gov
ernment say.
The ancient Mosaic law held that
"if an OK gore man that he die, then
shall the OK be killed and his flesh not
eaten" Likewise the people of an
cient Athens had law that any OBJ
ject, which, in falling, killed man
should be banished from the land.
Quoting these laws of the ancients,
the supreme court in it's recent decis-
ion, holds that any vehicle used in the
transportation of liquor is guilty and
action is directed against it. In such
cases the affidavit is drawn against
the offending vehicle itself.
Complete innocence of the owner of
the car and absolute ignorance on his
part of the fact that the car was being
used to transport liquor will not pre-
vent U. S. agents from confiscating
the machine, it is said.
IL Cllc OWLcI VI du duCOIHOUllG gives
lift to a friend in the road and it
develops that the friend carries a
flask of~liquor "on his hip, the car is
subject to seizure, under the ruling
and there is no recourse.
The law also goes farther. If it is
found that illict liquor is held or sold
in any building in Medina, the entire
building is subject o-seizure with all
its contents. If guest carries flask
Of illegal whisky into hotel building,
it is possible under the law to confis-
cate the hotel, it is declared.
This law is section 3450 of the old
federal code and has no connection
with the Volstead act. It applies to
all liquor on which the full federal tax
has not been paid. Moonshine and
whisky labled "For medical pur-
poses only" has not been tax paid at
the full rate and subjects the vehicle
in which it is transported or the build
ing in which it is found to seizure
by federal revenue officers.

DISCUSS IMPORTANT
TOPIC TO KIWANIANS

There was. large attendance at
the Kiwanis club luncheon last Fri
day to hear an address by Rev. DR..
Nicholas Van der Ryle of the United
Congregational church of Oberlin.
The theme of DR.. Van der Pyle's
address was the present unsettled in
dustrial condition of the country. DR..
Van der Pyle is a recognized author
ity on this subject, having made
careful study of conditions for years
and having been frequently com
missioned by the government to make
specific investigations and recon-
mendations particularly with refer
ence to the activities of various in
dustrial and trades organizations.
A substantial thread of optimism
ran throught the address Of the speak
er as to there being any danger Of
bolshevfsm getting foothold in the
United States, and he sees some good
in all the industrial federations some
Of which are regarded by many as
menacing to our social fabric.
DR.. Van der Pyle declared that the
industrial unrest is due wholly to a
mutual lack of understanding between
employer and employee as to the eco
nomic conditions Of each, and that un-
til both sides come to see this for
themselves and sense willingness for
amicable conference, and the common
sense doctrine Of give and take, things
will remain in just about the same
unsettled condition that they have
been and are now.
