COUNTY ISOLATED IN
WARRANT PROVISION
Prohibition Enforcement Chief Finds
Special Law Relating to the
Capital of State. I'll
ny Associated Press Leased wire.l


Madison, Wis. The decision of
Superior Judge A. C. Hoppmann, in
Dane county court, in holding that
evidence obtained by use of search
warrant obtained on information and
belief, is effective only. in Dane coun-
ty, Herman w. Sachtjen, state prohibit
ton agent emphasized today.
"This decision" the prohibition
agent said, undoubtedly will cause
considerable confusion throughout the
state, and large number of persons
will be uncertain as to what course to
follow in their efforts to aid in prohi-
bition enforcement.
"In Dane county, unsigned informa-
ton sent to the state prohibition
agents office, cannot be used directly
to obtain warrants. Before a warrant
can be obtained, under Judge Hopp-
mann's ruling, it will be necessary for
some Investigator to visit the location
described and obtain the necessary in
formation on which to swear to the
complaint.
"In all other sections of the state,
other than Dane county, warrants can
be obtained under the former process
of information and belief, and we will
continue to operate along that line"
Discussing the probability of getting
Judge Hoppman's decision before the
supreme court for final action, Mr..
Sachtjen said, it would be necessary
for some judge to certify the case to
the supreme court, or to wait until
such time as a case is brought before
the court ana decided against the
defendant, and he takes the action to
the higher court
Undoubtedly this will be done with
in a reasonable length of time" he
said, "as the present condition will
work in an unsatisfactory manner.
Even though Judge Hoppmann's deci-
sion is in line with the bill introduced
and which was killed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, it cannot work
in only one section of
the state. If the decision is supported
by the highest court,-we will be work.
ing on the same basis throughout the
state just as we will if the decision is
not sustained.

HOW MOON ROSE
AT MINKOWSKI'S
n
Officers Rock and Ortiz
Find Moon Rising Out
of Earth.
Is AN OLD OFFENDER
Man Caught with Moon Served
Time at House of COrrec-
tion on Liquor Charge.
"The moon like flower
In Heavens high bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night"

There was moon overhead on Tues
day night, and more moon" sitting
in the grass, smiling, back of the barn
of Edward ("Jesse'D Minkowski on
Fremont avenue. There were two
police officers sitting in the grass al
so, and they were smiling, but they
did not dare indulge in conversation
or smokes for fear that their presence
would be betrayed, and that their lit
tie game of waiting would be spoiled.
The night was cold one for
August, and suggestive of frost upon
the pumpkin, and Police Officers Rock
and Fred Orth were just hoping that
their vigil would not be unduly pro-
longed when 10, the door of the Ere
mont avenue place opened and Min
kowski himself tripped forth.
Moon and Whiskey in Grass.
Totally unaware of what was in store
for him, the man came forward to the
cache back of the barn, stopped down
to the earth and rose again with his
arms full. That was the moment for
the two waiting coppers, but without
venting their feelings in an Indian
war-whoop, they ran toward Minkow-
ski and halted him on the way back
to the soft drink parlor. Minkowski
had enough in his arms to temp.
orarily satisfy the most thirsty soul
that's yet aalivsS eaEE9ing two bottles
of swhiskey~ ana hive pints of "moon."
Officers Rock and Orth took the
booze bundles to the police Office to
be marked for Identification and
sealed with red wax and turned over
to the city chemist for analysis.
Minkowski was ordered to be in the
municipal court this morning.
Was Before Grand Jury.
Edward Jesse Minkowski, usually
known by his middle name of jesse"
has had nearly continuous history
in the saloon business in Kenosha for
the last few years, interrupted by a
period in the house of correction 20
which he was sentenced after being
found guilty in the circuit court of
liquor traffic. His trial was one of
series of liquor trials on grand jury
Indictments following the general
cleanup of a situation of political
corruption and brazen violation of
prohibition and gambling laws.
Minkowski when arrangned this
morning on the charge of unlawful
possession of Intoxicating liquor,
pleaded not guilty and his case was
set for hearing August 80, bonds fixed
at $500 and furnished.

FIVE MAIL PLANES
in TODAY'S TESTS
Twenty-eight Hour Coast to Coast
Mail Service is Declared "Al
most Successful"
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

Chicago Ill.-Five mail planes were
in the air today, the second day of
the five-day test of continental
aerial mail, with successful night
flying record between Chicago and
Cheyenne and indications that western
mail which left Cheyenne, Wyo., at
1886 p. m. mountain time last night
would reach New York before night
fall
Due to storms and fogs in Wyoming,
the mail which left San Francisco at
$3.50 a. m. pacific time yesterday was
delayed all night in reaching Chey-
enne, and shortly before noon, central
standard time, today, enroute to 1Oma-
ha on the eastward flight. Except for
the interference of the elements which
held Pilot H. A. Collision at Laramie,
Wyo., overnight, in spite of three
starts, the San Francisco mail in all
probability would have reached New
York within the twenty eight hours
schedule.
Besides Pilot F. NJ. Allison, who
left Cheyenne at $3.50 a. m. mountain
time for Omaha with Collisions mail
cargo which he had taken into Chey-
,enne at 5:55 a. M, two other trans
continental flights those scheduled
for the second day-had left their re-
spective terminals at New York and
San Francisco Pilot Shirley j. Short
left Curtiss field, Hempstead,, N. y, at
11:01 the same time at which Pilot c.
Eugene Johnson, although i'll of bron-
chial trouble, had started from the
east yesterday. At 5:26 a. m. pacific
time Pilot C. R. Vance had started
from San Francisco. R. L. Wagner,
who picked up mail from Cheyenne at
Chicago was nearing Cleveland in
midday, and Pilot H. G. Boonstra had
left Cheyenne, Wyo., at 1924 a. m.
mountin time for the final fash across
Wyoming, Nevada and California with
the mail Johnson took out of New
York yesterday.

FRAMING A REPORT
ON COAL SITUATION
Federal Commission to Put Strike
Menace Before President Coo
lidge Before Day is Over.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire

(Ry Associated RreSS LSaSeu WlIS.t
Washington, D. -C-Members Of the
federal coal commission were engaged
today in framing a report to President
Coolidge fixing the responsibility for
the break between anthracite opera
tors and miners and outlining what
steps they should take in event of the
prospective strike on September 1.
A statement as to the responsibility
for the rupture in negotiations yester-
day in Atlantic City, it is generally
conceded, will not produce a ton of
coal and thus the greater interest at
tached to what steps the new admin
istration proposes to take should the
miners and operators continue in their
failure to reach a common ground.
Two statements only have come
from the White House which are re-
garded as throwing light on the plan
in the mind of Mr.. Coolidge. The
first of these, made several dHSa ago,
said that plan had been prepared a hitch
would relieve the situation through
the use of substitutes for anthracite
The second, authorized last evening
after the president had talked to Mr.
Hammond twice within three hours,
was that the public should rest as
'sured that there would be plenty of
fuel n
At one stage in the hurried con-
ferences here yesterday, following the
break down of the negotiations in At
lantic City, there appeared an indica-
tion that President Coolidge might de-
eide to summon the operators and
miners representatives to Washing
ton for meeting with him. Later it
was indicated that the president had
no such plan.
