NERVOUSNESS COST
EMRI HIS LIBERTY

Cops Visit Joint and Grab
New Evidence"

Just a few hours after Special
Judge Houlihan in the city Tuesday
morning had ruled that Emri Bur-
kus was not guilty Of possession and
keeping unlawful intoxicants for
sale in his soft drink establishment
at 552 S. Chaplin st, Detectives
Hamilton and Delinsli raided his
place and secured a quart and a
half of "moonshine."
Burkus' trial in the city court was
the result Of a raid made by the
same officers on Jan. % Of this
year. but due to several continuances
the case was not heard until yes
terday morning. Judge Houlihan
declared that the evidence of sale
secured by the officers in the first
raid was insufficient and therefore.
ordered the prisoner released.
Behind the skirts"
Tuesday afternoon when the de-
tectives visited the place Emri was
on the job and recognized them in
stantly. According TO Detective
Hamilton, Emri at once proceeded
to advise them that there was ab-
solutcly no liquor in the place. The
officers, however. failed to take his
word and went ahead with their
search
Just when they were about ready
20 really take stock in Emris claims
that there was no liquor IN the
place, they noticed Emri growing
more nervous and backing up to-
ward a couple OF old coats and skirts
that were hanging on the wall at
one end OF the bar. They continued
their investigation and on a shelf
behind the clothes they found the
"mOonshine." EmTi was once more

letters by Washington which speak
plainly Of two other love affairs. One,
written in 1749, to Dear Friend
Robin" speaks Of his passion for
your Lowland Beauty" Both friend
and sweetheart are unknown.
Another letter, written In 1852 to
William Fauntleroy of Virginia says !:
"Sir Il should have been down long
before this, but my business in Fred
erick detained me somewhat longer
than expected, and Immediately upon
my return from thence l was taken
with violent pleurise which has re-
duced me very low; but purpose, as
soon as recover my strength, to wait
on Miss Betsy, in hopes of revoca-
ton Of the former cruel sentence, and
see IL cannot win any alteration in
my favor. have enclosed a letter
to her."
George Washington was the John
D. Rockefeller of his day-so far as
wealth goes. John d. once said he
would rather lose a thousand dollars
than be cheated out Of nickel. Well,
George evidently felt the same way
at least his letters so indicate. Yet
he accepted no pay as a soldier, and
spent $4,000 Cat least of his own
money. He was generous as he was
keen to get what was his. He de-
lighted In a good bargain. AS for eff
cheney, it was his middle name. There
never was better farmer and bust
ness man, and Mount Vernon was a
model plantation.
George Washington proved himself
a regular fellow in these ways, among
others.
He played cards, and ordered a
dozen packs at a time one of his ac-
counts contains the item: Lost at
cards, shillings."
He drank wine, beer, rum and
brandy-always in moderation.
He loved horses, and imported fine
stock.
He was fond Of fox hunting; his
pack of fox hounds was famous; he
wore the latest and best in hunting
| clothes.
He loved to fish, to shoot ducks and
to hunt deer.
| He wore good clothes, and insisted
upon having them to his liking in
every detail.
In short, the real George Washing,
ton was not the mythical Washington
who has been foisted on the American
school boy of past generations. The
marvel Is that so human an American
was ever so mummified in land like
America. They couldn't do it to
George when he was alive. And 1t viii

better understanding of
the character of the Father Of His
Country"
And it is better understanding
For the earlier literature and history
relative to him threw about our mill
tary hero of the Revolution and our
first President such an atmosphere of
sa'ntliness and perfection that he
hardly seemed human being. There
was gasp of establishment when
glimpses Of the real George Washing
ton began to appear. Nobody's feel
lngs were hurt. The American likes
mis- national heroes red-blooded. The
public was soon asking for more of
the same, thank you. 1t got more.
And when at last it became evident
that George Washington had the MAX
ings of "a regular fellow" if all the
truth were known, the American peo-
pie were simply tickled to death and
the hero of the cherry-tree fable forth
with took his rightful place in the
great American heart.
Now we know lot about the real
George Washington, and every now
and then something new sees daylight.
There is now no danger that the awe
some mantle Of superhuman perfec-
ton will ever again be thrown over
him. The Americans of the future
can know the real man.
And this is the added Joy Of revela-
ton. The disclosure Of the mans
real nature but adds to his greatness.
With each disclosure the marvel of
the greatness of the man grows. That
he could be so human and so great
adds to his country's pride in him.
There is an old saying that no man
Is hero to his valet. 1t is one of
those -self-evident truths that we ac-
cept instinctively. Yet 1t is safe
wager that the written words of To
bias Lear are true. After Washing
toms service as President and his re-
turn to Mount Vernon, his corre-
spondence became so burdensome that
he employed Tobias Lear, a native of
New Hampshire and graduate Of
Harvard as his secretary.
George Washington is, l believe"
Lear wrote after two years at Mount
Vernon, almost the only man of ex-
allied character who does not lose some
of his responsibility by an intimate
acquaintance. l have never found a
single thing that could lessen my re-
spect for him. A complete knowledge
OF his honesty, uprightness and can
dor In all his private transactions has
sometimes led me to think him more
than man."
Uncounted Americans have Rugged
themselves for sheer joy upon reading
that General Washington got so ex-
cited over the disgraceful retreat of
Gen. Charles Lee at the beginning Of
the battle of Monmouth (177S) that
he cursed Lee to his face till "the
leaves curled upon the trees" and then
rode his beloved white horse to death
In averting disaster. George was the
original Sheridan at Winchester that
day. That George Washington could
see red and swear so completely that
the army was satisfied is pretty good
stuff In most parts of the u. S. A.
The truth is that George was con-
siderable of a fighter, and it's good
guess that ne wasn't exactly unhappy
during the scrap. He got his prelim-
mary education fighting Indians--and
