Bootleggers of Pacific
Develop Crafty Methods

SPOKANE, Wash, June 6.-The
latest strategy of bootleggers of this
locality, the civil authorities de-
clare is to hire some person suffer
ing from chronic illness to market
their wares Then when the ped
dler comes before a court, the plea
is made that he has no money and
that Jail sentence would mean
sure death.
within the last three weeks
there have been at least four cases
of this kind tried before me-" de-
clared Police Justice Fred Morrill,.
"The defendant even had a physi-
clan take the witness stand and tes-
tify that it might mean death for
the accused II he should be COM
PEELED to serve time in jail"
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Louis Bunge corroborated the

judges statement. "Bootleggers
that | have prosecuted during the
last month have claimed to be the
victims of every disease from bar
ber's itch to galloping consump-
tion," he said. "The man who is
caught with the liquor in his posses
sion usually is understood, and
pleads for the courts to give him a
chance to get out into the country
and regain his health"
But the mystifying feature of the
situation is that the convicted boot
logger rarely remains in jail more
than a few days, even if heavy
fine Is imposed, the officers state.
The money to pay his fine and effect
his liberation always is Forthcoming
from some source. which they be-
lieve to be the employing boot
logger.

WILSON THOUGHT OF WAR MOVE .

Confidential Note Written

War President With

By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. September 3O.-En-
tightening many hitherto obscured
pages of the history of the World
War. Fiscount Greys volumes of
memoirs have just been given to the
public in Europe and America
Lord Grey's chronicle of the intimate
details OF the diplomatic negotiations
between Washington and London
which preceded the entry of America
into the great conflict probably has
primary interest on this side of the
Atlantic. but his volumes also are rich
with diplomatic history written by a
man who was Britain's foreign min
lister during the early years of the
war, and who was longer than any
other man the foreign minister of a
great world power.
Gives Documentary Evidence.
Viscount Grey reveals definite docu-
mentary evidence. for the first time,
to show President Wilson as early as
1916 was giving thought to a definite
proposal to throw the United States
into the war on the side of the allies
If the central powers rejected the
proposal for a peace conference. He
ventures the opinion that Germany
today, in efficiency and numbers COM
bined. Is potentially the strongest
country in Europe. He relieves the
Kaiser and the German people of the
full odium of setting the torch which
started the world conf1agration and
thinks that in determining the guilt
for bringing on the war the armed
camp condition to which Europe had
been brought by the events of decades
must be considered.
Grey doubts that the worst of tte

militarism and ornaments made the
World War inevitable and he doubts
that even yet nations have learned
that lesson rithout which. he thinks,
they must perish.
1t never has hitherto been def
nitely revealed that President Wilson
as early as 1916 was thinking of
throwing the weight of the United
States into the conflict on the side
of the allies. Even Earl Grey in his
memoirs qualities it with the state
ment that the President was consid-
ering 1t as an alternative to a peace
conference. The sequence of events.
however. as they are revealed by the
diplomatic history of that time, bears
out Viscount Grey's recital.

randum with him. while he returned
to Washington. and later cabled that
the text had been confirmed by the
President. The text of the memoran-

Is as follows:
Memorandum.

Col. House told me that President
Wilson was ready, on hearing from
France and England, that the mo-
ment was opportune TO propose that
conference should be summoned to
put an end to the war. Should the
allies accept this proposal. and should
Germany refuse it, the United States
would probably enter the war against
Germany.
Col. House expressed the opinion
that If such a conference met it
would secure peace on terms not un-
favorable to the allies; and, If it failed
to secure peace, the United States
would leave the conference as a bel
ligerent on the side of the allies. If
Germany was unreasonable. Col.
