JURY D|SAGREES
ON GUILT Of
DRUGGISTS
Accused of Possessing Liquor,
They Deny U. S. Claim
of Sale

Despite the fact that the de-
PENDANTS admitted that they had a
variety of liquors in their place
after their permit TO sell intoxicants
had been revoked by the Internal
Revenue Department. the trial of
Samuel Lichtenstein, proprietor of
q drug store at Fourteenth and Cliff
ton streets, and his clerk, John NJ.
Thai, charged with sale and posses
sion, resulted in a hung jury in
Police Court.
Lichtenstein and Thai were ar
rested December II, 1924, after
Revenue Agent f. ID. Hemphill al
legged that he had purchased a pint
of whiskey for IS from Thai. Hemp
hill said that he told Thai he was
going on a party of college men and
had been delegated to get the liquor.
Thai testified that Hemphill had
told him that the latter had very
sick friend, and that he, Thai, had
given him the liquor and refused
the money. Attorney Bertrand
Emerson represented the defense
and Assistant District Attorney
David A. Hart prosecuted.
Testimony was presented in the
case to show that. when Lichten-
STEMS permit was revoked, the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue told him
to keep the liquor until advised by
them what 70 do with IL. That was
in November of 1924, but Lichten-
stein had never been told what to
do with the liquor, so had kept il
until definitely advised. Notwith
standing this. he was charged with
illegal possession when arrested.

More than 100000 has been
invested in building and operating
the national chain of Shriners hos
pitfalls for crippled children since
their establishment in 1920, it was
revealed today in a report covering
the first five years operation of the

During the five years more than
5000 crippled children whose par
ents are unable to pay surgeons
fees and hospital bills have been
given treatment.
The hospitals are supported by
assessments upon the 60O,O men,
bers of the Mystic Shrine in the
United States and Canada.
The Shrine now is operating
eleven hospital units, with a total
Of 500 beds, at ST. Louis, San Fran

Hospitals now nearing completion
at Philadelphia and Chicago will
add more than 100 beds to the total.
Additional hospitals will be built as
rapidly as funds become available.
The hospitals are wholly charit-
able, no fees being accepted, and
they are built and supported by
the Shrine without public subscrip-

MAJOR SULLIVAN
CALLS ON old
FRIENDS
Retiring Superintendent of
Police Congratulates
New Chief

Major Daniel Sullivan, retiring
superintendent of the police de-
partment, today visited the District
Building for the second time since
he has been incapacitated by i'll
ness.
Greeted on all sides by the old
friends he had not seen for many
months Major Sullivan called on
the officials of the police depart
ment.
He rendered his congratulations
to Chief Clerk Hesse, who will take
the position of superintendent the
last of this month. Many personal
matters were settled by the major
and arrangements for his leaving
office were completed.
Substantial proof of the city-wide
appreciation of his work as superin-
tendent Of police and as a token of
his friends esteem, will be shown
Major Sullivan, by the presentation
of purse made up 'of contributions
from the members of the force.
Precinct captains were to inform
their men, through a letter of ap,
prevail from the District Commits
sioners, that contributions will be
acceptable until October 20. Edwin
B. Hesse, the newly appointed major
and superintendent, will act as
treasurer.
Presentation ceremonies probably
will take place October 81, the date
on which Major Sullivan will be
retired. The filling of a purse is
thought to be more consistent than
the purchase of a gift of any sort.
