= The Betrayal

The present editor of the 4
Devils Lake World was a
pretty enthusiastic booster
5 for the 1. v. AS when he
went to work for .Milt Crary
before Billy Miller bought
II the paper. In fact he re-
signed an Office in the county
Nonpartisan League to ac-
cept an 1. v. AS money.
81 journal
While there is not word of
truth in the above, let uk admit
for the sake of argument that
It is .all true. We submit that
If it were true that loyalty to
sones employer il not yet consfats
cred q crime in this country, and
that there is some decency in a
man who would resign from one
political organization before ac-
cepting money from another.
OF course this is an old fashion
ed custom of the wild and woody
west quite beyond the compre-
hension of a New. York adven-
turer, who, by his own confess
sion, was disloyal to his employ
er, accepted his money while
secretly conspiring to undermine
and injure. his busines. Thu.
editor Of The World has t:+
faults, plenty of them, but he is
glad to say that ingratitude n
not one Of them, and that his
heart is SO constructed that it
would never permit him to be-
tray q man who had advanced
him money for his expenses from
New York to Devils Lake and ex.
tended to him every courtesy and
accommodation. No, no, not
that, thank the Lord. s

Municipal Judge Rules Sec
ton of Dry Law Putting
the Burden of Proof
on Accused Is Invalid
To Dump Beer Into Sewer
Jury Acquits in First Case
Tried in Brooklyn I'm
der Mullan Gage Act

Police engaged in enforcing the Null
lam Gage prohibition law yesterday
broke all records for seizures for any
twenty-four hour period since the state
law was enacted. Justice Leopold
Prince, in the Sth District Municipal
Court, rendered a decision declaring
one section of the Mullan-Gage law un-
constitutional. A jury, in the first case
to be tried under the law in Brooklyn,
refused to convict and other unusual
features served to make the day the
most eventful since state enforcement
began.
The police announced that they will
dump 600 gallons of several per cent
beer into a sewer, with an East River
beer, they charge, in 1000 bottles, to-
gether with a large amount of malt and
hops, in a basement at 446 East 123d
Street They arrested Peter Seller and
his son, Peter, of 2405 Second Avenue,
and the two were held under $1,000
bail each in Harlem Court The Sellers
say they are vinegar manufacturers.
10l Arrests
The record breaking seizures of the
police were made on the lower West
Side, where they found in cellars, gar
rets and private rooms much liquid
evidence. Among the seizures were one
automobile, cne taXicab, one still, 700
barrels. 1,407 bottles, 249 cases of two
dozen bottles each, sixty-eight cans,
ten jugs, four kegs and much other
material. Arrests for a twenty lr-
hour period were 101, bringing the
grand total to 2,071.
The regular grand jury returned ten
indictments yesterday. To-day thirty
cases will be presented and tomorrow
the regular grand jury will give is
entire day to liquor cases and sixty
five will be presented.
The decision of Justice Prince caused
much comment, mostly adverse, around
the District Attorneys offices and IN
court circles. The particular sect.rn
of the law that Justice Prince decla Led
unconstitutional is Sub division ) CT
Of proof on the person arrested for
possessing liquor. Justice Prince holds
that the mere possession of liquor is
not a crime.
The case in question was that OF
Toney Spinelli. owner of a teneme Mt
house at 800 East 18th Street, who
had commenced eviction proceedings
against Frank Morelli, holding a three
year lease. Patrolman Patrick Car-
arrested Pasquale de Perna, an EN-
ployee of Morelli, on a charge of violat-
ing the Mullan- Gage law, and the
custer suit followed. Justice Prince
dismissed the complaint against Dc
Perna and decided:

Cling up again, the horse ran another

second time.
Musgrave suffered an injured knee

Charles Brandt, driver of the wagon,
told the police later that the horse had
become frightened at an automobile

wagon. He said he had loosened the
bride in order to attach the horse s

Residents in the vicinity reported
that but for the patrolmans courage
many children must have been injured,

fered to eliminate immoral pictures
from the screen within thirty days if
the Governor would veto the measure
Paul d. Cravath, as counsel for the
producers, waved his hand toward a
small group of men seated with Will

"There are four men in this room
who can see to it and will see to it
that this promise is kept"
Mrs. Clarence Waterman, of Brook

The proposal Of the motion picture
producers was to appoint board Of

To supplement this work the screen
men suggested that the Governor ap-
point commission to investigate the

being conducted like ordinary large
