The pageant, "The Spirit of Christ

Methodist Sunday School, Sunday

the best ever given in this church.
The decorations were all in white

not but feel the spirit of the Christ

a star in the background all lit ur

GUM-PLAY FOLLOWS
RAID ON THIS STILL
STATE POLICE BESiEGE ARMED
McoNSHiNEGS AND CAP.
TURE LIQUOR.

The campaign which the Virciria
State Police are directing AGAINST
inoonshinmg is not without it's gun
play. Several times during the past
few months State police have been
greeted by rife shots when they ap-
preached hidden stills in the noun
tains.
The most recent clash between State
Police and moonshiners almost as.
sumed the proportions Of an actual
battle. The troopers trapped four
moonshiners and one boy in a log
barn in Which they were operating
still and were engaged in a two.hour
fight before they captured the still.
Sergeant n. G. Rhodes and Troopers
Dooley. Johnston and Mounts raided
the still which was located eight miles
from War Eagle in Mingo county.
They reached the place at dusk March
4. Private Johnston pushed his head
through a hole under the wall and
called upon the moonshiners to sur
render. Instead they opened fire
without results.
Night found them still fighting.
Then the State Police. unable to find
a door to the barn decided to wait
until daybreak. Under cover of dark
ness however the moonshiners made
a break for liberty, firing at the off,
GERS as they ran.
The so gallon, still, 220 gallons Of
mash, 200 pounds Of sugar and fiye
gallons OF whiskey were destroyed.

1t Is claimed that the premises are oc-

I'm my opinion. the provision of the

the house Is occupied for dwelling pur-
poses means where II is occupied by
the tenant for such purposes and where
the premises are leased to tenant not
for the purpose of residence but for the
purpose of business OF subleasing to
others, the statute does not apply. In

COURT RENDERS NEW
RENT LAW DECISION

The Appellate Division in an opinion
recently handed down holds that where
a tenant rents out portions of residen-
tial space to others at a profit the rent
laws do not apply to such tenant and
that the latter can be removed by sum
mary proceedings just as was possible
before the passage of the rent laws.
The case involved an appeal by T. j.
Fletcher Jackson and Gertrude II. NJ.
Jackson. landlords. against Edna Grey
and others. the tenant respondents The
following Is a portion of the opinion or
Justice Page. in which the entire court
concurred
1.-THE facts are practically admitted.
The proceeding was brought TO dispossess
the tenant on the ground that she was
holding over after the expiration Of her
term. On November l. 1919. the land
lord rented to the tenant the second and
third floors in "A private house, known
at 1872 West Eighty-seventh street, New
York city, for the term of one month.
and the tenant remained in possession
from month to month until October /.
1920, at which time the term OF the
tenant expired by reason Of thirty day
notice given by the landlord to the ten
ant. This portion of the house was
rented to the tenant for the purpose OF

ers The tenant thereupon subleased por-
tions of the premises, furnished. TO four
