Wilson Spectre Raised,
Lodge Eats HIS Words,
Senate Debate Bitter

During debate in the senate Thurs
day on the communications which
passed between President Coolidge
and Edward B. Mclean at the lat
ter's Palm Beach home, Senator Hen,
ry Cabot Lodge the arch foe Of Pres
ident Wilson, was treated to a dose
of the most unpleasant medicine he
has had in many day And he
took it for the most part in silence.
The white bearded. .white-haired
senator from Massachusetts, after
being in touch with the White house,
attempted a long explanation of the
kilograms Then he saw fit to crit
icize Senator Harrison, Democrat
Mississippi, for a demand on the
president for an explanation Of the
kilograms, which Mr.. Lodge con-
strued as an attack on the president
Then came the barking back to tho
days of Woodrow Wilson. Senator
Lodge. who had fought Mr. Wilson,
and who now deprecated the attack
on Mr. Coolidge, was reminded that
he had sat in silence while Albert B.
Fall, Mr.. Wilson's enemy. was sent
to his bedside ito turn back the GOV.
ers" to learn whether the sick pres
idemt was feigning illness.

Mr.. Lodge was reminded of the bit

He was told that he had sat silent
while a resolution was introduced to
Investigate the gifts brought back by
Mrs. Wilson from Paris, to see if tina
president was bartering away the
liberties of the country for those gifts
And finally it was acclaimed by Sen
ator Caraway, with every word aim

of the unjustified attacks that we're

BARABOO BEATS
REEDSBURC IN
is TO 7 SCORE

In return game, Reedsburg came
intention of whipping Baraboo to a
defeat but instead Baraboo's inten-
ton was much greater and as a re-
suit Reedsurg went down to defeat
for the second time at the work Of
the local basketball five. It was re-
smarked by one Of the Reedsburg play
ers to Captain Art Hayward that they
were going to show Baraboo some
real basketball but as yet no one has
noticed any of it.
The game started with q great
amount of pep and it had not been in
progress more than a minute when
it was plainly seen that it was going
to be a battle from start to finish and
it sure was Captain Hayward
started the scoring for Baraboo and
was followed soon by a ringer from
Duke Gafke. The Reedsburg lads did
not seem to find themselves through
out the entire game and the quarter
ended 4 to in Baraboo's favor.
The second quarter Wolfe, Reeds
burg running guard slipped up and
counted twice from the field and
Schultz made a basket from re-
bound thus Baraboo thought they
would now do their stuff and they did.
Hayward and Cake again counted
one apiece and Weber made short
shot, also two free throws, making
the score at the half IL to with
Baraboo on the long end of the rope.
The last half Baraboo played somN
of the best basketball Of the season,
both on offence and defence. AS to
offense they scored points and al.
lowed Reedsburg but one point and
this was by free throw which meant
that Reuland and Boyd as guards
were fighting their best with the aid
Of Cake and Hayward. The final
score was Is to in favor of Bara-
boo.
The game had been in progress
but two minutes when Dinny Lenni-
han Baraboo's forward was injured
and it was necessary to carry him
from the floor. The team will go to
La Crosse next week and hopes that
he will be able to go along as the
team needs him and needs him bad.
He was replaced by Weber who
played fighting good game.
The line ups were as follows:

PUZZLE OVER
LIQUOR CASES
Sometimes 1t Is a Case of Almost
Splitting Hairs In Making De-
ciSiOnS

| Very interesting it is to know how
S. c. Timlin of Reedsburg escaped a
fine when liquor was found in his pos
session while he was in Baraboo some
months ago. Two prohibition Off
/ GERS were in hiding near Brads place
on Lynn street and while watching
saw a tin container pass from Brad's
automobile to Timlin and his car.
About this time the officers rushed
out and seized the can which proved
to contain liquor although they did
not positively know it at the time.
They just suspected it was liquor
and true there was. They had no
warrant for Timlin but took the booze
Now the question arises did the
officers, have a right to take it under
the provisions of the search and seiz-
ure act? When a person is commit
ting an offense openly like having a
fight drinking in the open or steaA-
ing, he can be arrested forthwith and
the arrest will hold. But when a
man is on the street can he be taken"
A similar case is now pending in
the supreme court. An officer at
Fond du Lac saw fellow in the
rear of a room with bottle and
arrested him. The officer did not
know it contained liquor, just sup
posed so. The contents proved to
be liquor and when the fellow waa
taken to Jail another bottle was found
in his pocket The judge at Fond
du Lac held the officer had no right
to arrest on supposition and the case
vas appealed. 1t is held, however.
that he could be held for having the
second bottle in that it was found
on the man when under arrest.
Scented the Air
While in Baraboo at the opening OF
the present term of circuit court,
two prohibition officers told off
strange case in the northern part of
the state While walking along a road
one dark night they detected malt
odors in the evening air, and follow
ing the scent found a still in full
operation in a rural home. The pro-
perty was seized and the man arrest
ed. Going little farther they smelt
mash again and found another still
in full blast This man was likewise
arrested. In these cases Judge Luse
held that the officers were IN the
proper performance of their duty in
that they knew there was liquor be-
ing made from the odor sent forth.
= When a man has bottle in his
pocket or in his car and is doing
nothing to commit an offense the
law holds that he is immune. Even
Il he has container in his hand,
unless the officer has evidence to
show that it is liquor he has no right
10 take the property and make an
arrest, is held in the lower courts
BUT has gone to the supreme court
FOR final decision.
by held that the officers did not
know what was in the can passing
from the Brad car to the Timlin mach
me, hence had no right to make the
arrest This decision was reached at
preliminary hearing and when the
time came to call the case Timlin
vas not required to appear, hence a
dismissal Brad sometime ago paid
On another count.
Such matters are almost hair split
ting and should not encourage a
booze vender to sally forth for he can
very easily make false step and
and in the clutches of the law. The
REVEALING fine now is 500 per count;
not SO easy.
