From Decision of Judge
DuComb.

That the recently inauguratcd
practice or susrcndinr jail sentences
against liquor law violators by CITY
Judge Chester L. Du Comb is not
meeting with the general favor OF
the offenders. was demonstrated IT,
action taken by two defendants
Friday. who sought appeals.
john Mondich. alleged proprietor
OF tine SKATE Line Inn, which waa
raided By JOINT action Of federal.
county and police officers 10 days
ego was one Of the defendants. He
was tried for unlawful possession
OF liquor on charges brought against
him following q raid upon his home
Aug. Il. last. lie was hnod 500 and
costs and sentenced TO 80 days IN
the county Jail.
Rodgers Appeals
Alvin Rodgers. arraigncd In city
court on charge Of unlawful pos
session after raid on the Nickel
hotel last November brought five
quarts Of colored 'moonshine" into
possession Of tho police, also fined
800 and costs and given a suspend
ed jail sentence Of 50 DAYS. Both
defendants requested appeal % Su.
perior court No. T.
Nondich was fully awaS-. uat his
payment Of tho fine and taking the
suspended Jail sentence would in all
probability bring about a revocation
of tho sentence whoE Judge DuComb
gives his finding in the State Line Inn
case. He took no chance and re-
quested an appeal.
The two trials marked the final
disposition Of two old pending liquor
cases so far as the city court was
concerned. In both cases venue
changes had been taken from former
City Judge Omacht Atty. Pyle
now member of the board of pub
tic safety, disqualified himself in the
trial of tho Rodgers case recently
and counsel was willing TO 80 to
trial before the incumbent Judge
Nominations for special judge was
made i'm the Mondich case but no
trial judge had ever been selected.
Await Ruling.
The State Line Inn case, in which
Nondich was numbered among three
other defendants as the result of
the raid, have been taken under ad.
visemeEt by Judge DuComb Three
others. from whom bottles contain
ing liquor were obtained by the Of
hcers, hold the view, according to
the arguments by their counsel. that
the officers had no right TO search
their persons upon a warrant issued
for seaTch Of the Mondich premises.
The question OF right of seizure
withcut a warrant Is the question
upon which the court is required to
decide Judge DuCombs decision
on the point is awaited with COnsid-
cradle interest by the legal profess
sion.

was obtained by ". L. Woznizki.
charged with unlawful possession.
Attys Kovacs. Taylor Gilliom,
Ohenchsin and Bertsch were NOM
mated for trial judge. Jan. p was
set for date OF striking. Woznizki
was arrested following the finding
Of pint bottle Of moonshine in his
coat hanging on the wall in his Lin
den av. soft drink parlor Jan. 13.

broke up the bar and removed il
from the building.

REFUGEES ARE
BIG PROBLEM
Thousands in Greece and Islands
Near Starvation; Will Appeal
to Hoover.

Athens, Oct. 11.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Reliable advices
from various parts of Greece, in
cluding the Islands, indicate the
growing seriousness of the refugee
problem.
Thousands Of persons are ter
ribly emaciated from lack of nour-
ishment and suffering from ex-
posure and the insanitary condi-
tions in which they are forced to
exist. The refugees, the majority
of whom are women, children and
old men, are sleeping in parks,
cellars and attics, and generally
about fifty to room.
The authorities estimate Greece
will have a million refugees to
support when eastern Thrace is
evacuated. 1t would require 1,500,-
900. 900 drachmas yearly to feed this
number and also an effective or
ganization which the government
does not possess. The Thracian
deputies have announced they will
appeal to Herbert Hoover for as
SiStance.
