Impatient at Leniency

Patrolman Daniel Sullivan, of the
Oak Street police station, arrested
Frank Weisinger, twenty two years old,
Of 141 Stanton Street, yesterday while
he was driving truck at Rutgers and
Water streets. According to the pa
trolman there were two cases Of sherry
in the truck.
Patrolman Sullivan, instead Of book
ing his prisoner at police station on
o charge Of violating the Mullan Gage
law, took him to prohibition headquar-
ters. There he was held for violation
Of the Volstead act, and thus was
brought under the jurisdiction Of the
Federal courts. Chief City Enforce
ment Agent Chris Fortman accepted the
case for the government.
Wesinger said that he had been en-
ployed by Jake Written, rabbinical
wine merchant, Of 81 Rutgers Street
and that he had been working only
since last Monday. He said he believed
he had a right to deliver the wine, and
"'''''~N :" p~i ii''S' "hiti was SdiO " De

Suilivan's action in turning his
prisoner over to the Federal authori-
ties, it was said may become the gen
cral practice Of the police in dealing
with liquor law violators in the future
Although no official statement could
be obtained from the Police Depart
ment, it was said unofficially that in
dividual policemen in most cases were
anxious to get prohibition cases out
Of their hands and into the hands Of
the Federal authorities with as little
delay as possible
One of the reasons given for this
attitude is said to be the disposition Of
llquor cases by the magistrates The
record of these cases in magistrates
courts show that convictions result in
less than 10 per cent of the cases. and
then ONLY in cases where the officers
have spent days in gathering evidence.

arrests.

Noll Street. Brooklyn. on a charge of

FROM TIE T"ih'pte'S WASHINGTON Barcca
WASHINGTON. April THE posi-
tion Of tho coal operators of Indiana
was explained at length to-day before
the House Committee on Labor by Al
ired NJ. OGle. president of the Nandalia
Coal Company. of Tcrrc taatc. and a
vice-pres sidcnt -;hc National Coal As
sooation,
Blame for the situation was placed
by him upon the United Mime Worke rs
Of America. He declared that that or
Ganj2aton "in open and illegal viola
ton Of the two-year contract entered
into on March SO. 1920. at New Yori;
caused the miners in The spmrocr OF
1890 TO strike in Indiana. Illinois. Ohio
and in other union Gelds for an advance
IN wages beyond that fixed by the p
tumipots Coal Commission, and upon
which the wage contract agreement had
been based.

deliberate and unlawful violation Of

increaso was obtained, he said
N.Y.. Ogle told the committee tnat TIE

lon& tho present supply would last, he
rep ed:
''1ndednite,y. The country need have
no concern about tne co9l supply.
There is very l2rgc supply of stock
on hand in the coal bins. factories
and in non-union fields"
The non-Union fields produce approx-
!moteiy 40 per cent OF the total pro
dGStoN. according TO OgIc and this
percentage, he said, can be increased
to go or - per cent.
Discussing the responsibility for the
trlEe. he said:
"The miners have been oubbling
about this whole wage conference mat
ter. ApparcntlY there is q serious mis-
understanding throughout the country
as to the supposed obligation on the
part Of the operators to meet the
miners in Joint conference. The reso-
lution adopted at The time the wage
contract was negotiated in New York

expression Of hope that the miners and
operators would be able to negotiate

MEET MT. PLEASANT HERE

Coach Carlson's Alma high school
team will battle her old Mt. Pleasant
rival on Republic field Friday after
noon and real battle is being looked
forward to by local fans.
Mt. Pleasant shows real strength
again this season. A week ago the
Isabella county aggregation stopped
the Ithaca high eleven which pre-
viously had won from st. Louis by a
81 to score This makes the Mt.
Pleasant eleven look to be one of the
best in this part of the state, outside
Of Saginaw and Bay City.
Starting the year with a compar-
atively green eleven the local team
has not been making bad showing
when all things are considered and it
is a certainty that each week during
the season has seen the squad advanc-
ing by leaps and bounds in football
knowledge and in capabilities for
playing the game. The eleven will
be in fair shape for the Mt. Pleasant
game, and while the locals are not
making any claims whatever as to
what they expect TO do to Mt. Pleas
ant, one thing is certain and that is
the eleven can be depended upon to
fight from start TO finish and Mt.
Pleasant will not be able to walk off
with the long end of the score with
out having earned every point that
she collects.

Alma Grid Season
Opens Nth Ypsi

On Saturday of this week the AL
ma College football team will open
the local grid season and also open
the Michigan Intercollegiate series,
with the strong Michigan State Nor
NAL eleven as its opponent and rare
contest is promised as the two aggre-
cations are apparently about evenly
matched.
In its game with Assumption the
Teachers showed lots of power and
drive in spite of the muddy field on
which the contest was staged and had
little trouble in winning and look
very much like a bunch who would
make hot fight for the Michigan In
tercollegiate honors. McCulloch has
several veterans on his eleven and the
new corners are all men with football
knowledge, who are filling the few
holes in his team in highly accept
able manner.
Numerous changes have been made
in the Alma team since year ago
and as a result it has not been coming
round to shape quite as rapidly as the
Il
are that the team has been showing
enough improvement during the past
three weeks to make it foe that the
Teachers will be forced to excel any
thing that they have shown so far
this season to win.
The Maroon and Cream line is now
coming in good shape and can be de-
pended upon to put up a real battle
against the Green and Whites for
ward wall, and McCulloch will have
some rare line smashers if they sue
coed in breaking down the defense to
any great extent.
On the backfeld the Presbyterians
are constantly showing better form,
the work of Hickerson, Mcdonald,
Brackenberry, Tredway, Californian,
and the others being such as to in
spire some real hopes that Alma is
going to be real contender in the
association race as the various games
come during the next few weeks. If
Alma is to be contender for a title
however, she will be forced to stop
Ypsilant this week and that will be
no small job, as Ypsi apparently has
the strongest team that the Teachers
have ever put on the gridiron.
Coach Doc. McCulloch and assist
ant coach, Jack Dunn, are expected
to arrive in Alma sometime Friday
afternoon with a squad of 25 men
and truck load of fighting togs
The probable lineup for Saturdays
game will be, L. E., Anderson or
Williamson; l.. T., Crane, Welch, OF
Barrel; l.. G., Janousek or Ruggles
R. f., Dickie or Adrian; @. B., Pur-
dy, Gellispie or Spencer; Halves
Clarke, Schlaak, Colburn, Gregory OF
Davidson; Full, Gregory, Morse, OF
Ruggles. The teachers defeated AS
sumption, 13 to 0, Grand Rapids
Junior, II to 0, and are coming tc
Alma with full confidence of winning
the game, but they will find that
the Alma bunch is full of pep anc
ready for the fray. It promises tc
be a real opening occasion. Every
football booster should be on the
ground to see this opening game.

that of securing more contests be-

At the present time some of the coll

football. Adrian is playing no asso-

Great GreenUilIe
Team Slaughtered

Showing wonderful improved
form, which had not ben expected by
even the most enthused Of the high
school fans, the Alma High School
football team jumped all over the
Greenvile high eleven on the Green
vile field Friday afternoon, and when
the smoke of battle had cleared away
the conquerors Of Arthur Hill of
Saginaw had been smashed TO bits
and their statewide reputation
gained through winning over the Sag
NAV eleven had been torn to shreds,
and Alma stood forth in her place as
a real team from small high school.
Unbelievable as it may seem Alma
walked off with n to o victory, and
earned every point that was annexed
Before the game the fans would
not have taken a ten to one shot that
Coach Carlson's eleven would defeat
such strong aggregation as the one
that Coach Malcomson had at Green
Vile. The Alma eleven on the whole
was a comparatively green team, its
one victory in two starts being over
an equally green eleven, the Midland
High aggregation. Local fans could
hardly believe the score when it was
flashed to Alma following the game,
and not until the team returned that
evening and verified reports did AL
ma awake to the fact that it has a
full-hedged fighting aggregation that
knows that the bigger they are the
harder they fall.
The game had not been under way
three minutes before the Carlson
eleven put over the first counter, ii
tumble by Greenville paving the way
for the touchdown, which came by
way of a forward pass. Another one
followed this before the period had
ended, this coming on ne-smashing.
In the second quarter another touch
down was showed over.
In the final half Greenville braced
and held Alma far more effectively
than in the first half, but on offense
could do little. Only twice during
the game could the Greenvlle team
shove the ball into Alma territory as
far as the forty yard mark. The
last touchdown, the lone counter of
the second half, came on a beautiful
forward pass, Elias to Veeder.
Both teams tried large number of
passes during the contest, Alma
working ten out Of possible dozen,
while Greenville got away with only
two heaves into the air, and these
two only Melted total of eight yards.
Most Of her passes were grounded
but Alma intercepted two of those
that did not work
The entire team played splendid
game from start to finish and it
would be difficult to point to any par
ticular stars. Elias, Veeder and Pat
terson must be given credit for their
fine performance with forward passes
and Anderson for his great work,
however.
