TO KILL DANDELIONS

O IL. Steel, park commissioner at Excelsior Springs, gives the follow ing dandehop cure to the readers of the Excelsior Springs News: "The despised dandelion can easily be con- trolled and completely eradicated by the use of a simple spray easily ap- piled and at small expense. The basis of the spray is iron sulphur, com monly known as "green vitrol.' The spray is made by dissolving iron sul- phate in water at the rate of four pounds per gallon, and should be used three times in a season, once in May, once in June, and once again in the all-preferrably in October. l have tried this solution in the parks and have found it to be thoroughly effec- tive and am giving it publicity in the hope that everyone may be induced to help eradicate the pest. In twenty four hours after spraying, the dande- lion turns black, but the grass is not injured"

|'H|P POCKET
LIQUOR CASES
D|STASTEFUL
Prosecutor Doubts If Juries
Will Indict or
Convict.
LAW SEEN AS UNJUST
Beotlegger Penalized No
More Than Man With
"Three Fingers"
LAW SEEN AS UNJUST

It is doubtful if Bexar county
grand juries will indict in "hip peck
ct" liquor cases and if they do indict,
it is still more doubtful if juries will
convict. This assertion was made Sat
urday afternoon by First Assistant
District Attorney w. s. Anthony in
an informal discussion in the sheriff's
office of the recent activities of the
San Antonio police department in
filing charges in "hip pocket" cases
in the state courts. Nearly a dozen
charges have been filed within the
last week.
Mr.. Anthony who is head of the
prosecution in the district attorneys
office and handles virtually all the
important cases, takes the view that
the Dean law was aimed primarily at
"bootleggers" and was not intended as
drink on his person. As an assistant
district attorney, however, it is his
duty to prosecute these cases just the
same as if the amount of liquor
seized were a large one and he ex-
poets to do so. He is doubtful, how
ever, if Bexar county juries would
convict in such cases.
Cops File for Three Fingers"
Filing of liquor charges in the state
courts by the police department has
caused considerable comment. In
every instance so far the liquor seized
was in small amounts, sometimes a
half pint, sometimes half of that and
in one instance Saturday scarcely
three fingers" Yet, under the state
liquor law, the defendants even for
this small amount could be sent to the
state penitentiary.
These cases formerly were filed in
federal court. Recently, however, Fed
cral Judge Du Val West made it
known that his docket was crowded
and that he did not wish these cases
filed in federal court. he let it be
known that federal officers should
file only on bootleggers and he sug-
gested that the smaller cases could be
tried in police court
Expect City to Pass LiGuer Law.
When these unimportant cases were
tried in federal court the punishment
usually was a small fine. Even men
who have been found with liquor in
large quantities have been let off with
fines as the U. s. law is not so drastic
as the Dean act. Filing in state
courts, therefore, would constitute a
rank injustice, local officers declare,
in. that a man caught with one drink
of liquor could be sent to the peni-
Tertiary for two years while one who
had been caught with large quantity
would get off with a nominal fine.
Mayor Tobin announced last week
that he would ask the city attorney
to draw uD an ordinance under which
persons caught with small quantities
of. liquor might be tried in the cor
poration court. Local attorneys are
of the opinion that an ordinance, max
ing it an offense punishable by fine
for possessing less than a quart of
liquor would be valid. Action on the
matter may be taken by the city COM
mission this week.

by noises on the front porch Of his
home here, Randolph Coleman, man.
ager Of the Robstown Motor Com
-pany of Robstown, investigated and
found a man crouched behind the
banister of the porch. When the
man saw he was discovered, he broke
and ran, and Coleman, attired in his
night clothes, gave chase. Running
about a block, Mr.. Coleman caught
the would-be intruder, and choked
him into submission. He dragged him
to a nearby house to ask the occu-
pants to phone the police depart
ment.
While Mr.. Coleman was arousing
the householder the prowler whipped
out a small knife and slashed Cole
man across the abdomen. He again
broke and ran and Coleman gave pur-
suit. Coleman collided with a barb
wire fence, cutting and scratching
himself across the legs. The captive
got away. /.
"If it hadn't been for that barbed
wire fence" said Mr.. Coleman in
telling of his midnight visitor. "thc
city would have a free boarder on its
hands today" Mr.. Coleman was not
seriously injured.
