DRY CASE RAISES
/ FINE LEGAL POINT
Car Towing Alleged Rum
Auto Held Despite Own
er's Protest.

The arrest of two alleged bootleg.
gers, the seizure of their two automo,
biles, one of which was being towed
by the other, brought before the court
n novel question yesterday which will
not be settled until the matter is care.
fully studied by judicial heads of the
court and prohibition department.
The men, Louis NJ. Cressin and Abe
Abeson, were arrested Tuesday and
were arraigned yesterday before Judge
Gus A. Schuldt. Both pleaded not
guilty to charges of illegal possession
and transporting and demanded Jury
trials. Bond was fixed in each case
at $1,000.
According to the policemen of the
tenth precinct, George c. Deyce
they noticed two automobiles travel.
ing down the street at a speed OF
about 80 miles an hour. One of the
machines was towing the other. Civ
ing chase, the police drew up along
side the machines just south of Walter
Reed Hospital, on Sixteenth street.
Alcohol i'm lowed Car.
Cressin was driving the first ma
chine and Abeson was at the wheel of
the lowed car. Search of CresSin' s
machine failed to reveal any liquor.
but in Abeson's car, police say, were
found 80 gallons of alcohol. Both men
were taken to the Tenth precinct
station and the cars seized. An
additional charge of speeding was
ladged against Cressin. Court
records later showed that both
men were awaiting jury trial to-
morrow on a former charge of illegal
possession and transportation. They
were out on a bond of 81 900 each.
Both CresSin and AbeSon are said to
hail from Baltimore.
Immediately following their arrest
the contention began. The defend
ants demanded that Cressin's car be
released, as the policemen admitted
finding no liquor in it, and that, there
fore, it could not be lawfully held
They telephoned the assistant United
States attorneys Office in Police
Court.
Asks Cars Be Held.
Thomas E. Lodge. assistant United
States attorney was of the opinion
that the two cars should be held, as
they were a composite and necessary
part to the same transaction. And
for the time being both cars are being
held and will be at least until the out
come of the trial, when the presiding
judge will hand down his opinion.
In commenting upon the case today
Mr.. Lodge declared it to be the first
case of its kind to come UP in the an
nails of prohibition. 1T stands to
reason" he stated, that If the ma
chine towing another machine with
liquor in il could not be seized the
Nation would soon see fleets of towed
cars with perhaps five or six trailers
on behind All Florida tin Gamers
would be suspected, and in the cases
of real bootleggers only trailer or a
cheap, broken-down machine could be
confiScated.
In the case now on hand it was a
rather expensive car that was towing
q car of the very cheap class, and out
of commission at that"

national conventions, and had the distinction of
receiving handful of votes in the 1924 conven-
ton, which was conservatively Republican from
the start.
The boyhood life and public career of Senator
Robert M. La Toilette is an interesting one-he
was truly an American with an American fighting
spirit THERE'S aittle doubt but that his ideals of
democracy will live in the hearts of the people and
his hard-fought battles shall not all have been in
vain. He fought steadily and consistently for bet
ter conditions for the working man. who makes up
the great mass of the American population
Abraham Lincoln, he loved the poor, because
there are so many of them. His fight against
the terrible heart disease to which he succumbed
was marked by bravery and cheerfulness which
was as noble as it was pathetic. Fighting Bob"
La Toilette was worthy of the admiration and
respect of the thousands of American people who
were his FRIENDSHIP was equally worthy of the
tributes paid him during his life and at the time of
his death by those in political life who did not
share his views, but who held him in greatest re-
spect. The enemies of Bob La Toilette were COM
PEELED to admire him for his brains, his fighting
spirit and his achievements One of the most out
standing of these was his opposition to the leasing
of the government oil lands and if his advice had
been needed, there would have been no investiga-
tons growing out of the Tea Pot Dome and Elk
Hill scandals. His record in the United States
senate was one of which his home state and the ma
ton may be proud-he fought corruption in gov
eminent affairs and stood for the square deal.
for this he was loved and hated but his name will
go down in history as one of the most courageous
of the political leaders of history

THE PASSING OF BOB LA TOILETTE

All that was mortal Of Robert Marion La Fol

been in vain In closing he predicted that the SEN
ator's people would carry forward the fight where
he had in death left it off 1t is to be expected that
the earnest and sincere supporters of the La Fol
lette program will carry on the fight against the
trusts and unfair monopolies of business Flight
ing Bob" was a believer in democracy-t came
from his heart and he practiced it in all of his con-
facts with humanity in public life. Believing in a
fair deal for the common people and the laboring
man, he was continually at odds with his party
leaders, both in his home state and the national
capital and was classed as an insurgent. Few
American public men were ever targets of such
bitter criticism as was heaped upon Senator La
Toilette both during the world war and in the
period following. Likewise, few have been more
staunchly befrended and supported by an earnest
group of progressive democratic thinkers, and
hundreds of admiring followers.

BLAST To MOVE
OLD STATUE
BASE
Workmen Unable to Break Up
Concrete in Lafayette
Square With Picks

The heavy concrete foundation Of
an abandoned statue to Lafayette
was excavated by workmen in
Lafayette Square today, directly on
the Sixteenth street axis, in front
of the White House.
The concrete and cement OF the
foundation probably will have to be
blasted before the gardens at that
point can be placed on the level Of
the rest of the park.
The workmen today were finding
1t almost impossible to use their
picks and axes upon the stone.
Congress authorized erection Of a
statue to Lafayette, in Lafayette
Park, in 1885, and the mistake was
mede by an army engineer officer
in laying the foundation for it
directly south Of the Andrew Jack
son hobby horse" memorial. Con-
gress subsequently directed the
placing of the statue at the south
east corner of the park, but the
abandoned foundation was never
dug out and remains to this day
as a miniature plateau, about two
feet above the general park level.

CHARGES Of
CRUELTY
Thomas &. Langley Expresses
Willingness to Support
His Child

Thomas Edward Langley who
was recently sued by his wife, Mrs.
Margaret T. Langley for limited
divorce, alleging cruelty, drunken
ness and nonsupport, in his answer
filed in the District Supreme Court

husband contributes So a week for
the child's support. Langley never
threatened to kill his wife; nor did
he ever chase her around the house
with a butcher knife; nor was he
drunk on numerous occasions, as
charged by his wife.
Langley tells the court that his
wife deserted him June II, without
cause, telling him she was going
him, and that she has resided over
there since. The husband says he
is anxious and willing 20 contribute
to the support of his child, and
offers $12 a week for that purpose
He says ne receives $40 a week from
a department store, where he is
employed.
His wife, according 70 the hus.
mand, keeps a maid to assist her
in doing household work, which
