Charged With Giving
Seized Liquor Away.
PLEADS NOT. GUILTY
Crusader Enters Not Guilty
Plea; Says Charge May Ex-
plain Where Liquor Went.

tivity in liquor raids has brought
many a man before the courts in Keno

liquor laws, was facing such charge
himself today. The crusader was ar

charge of giving away liquor as the
result of complaint made by Albert
Grewnow, who alleges that he was
given a pint of whiskey by the
vigilant constable.
When Constable Scholey arrived at
the municipal court this afternoon he
was greeted by Captain Clausen, who
had the warrant for his arrest and
who served it on him. Scholey at that
time had nothing to say except to ask
for few moments time to secure
bondsmen which was granted.
He was arraigned half hour later
on the charge and entered plea OF
not guilty. The case was postponed
for preliminary hearing to Saturday
morning, February the 7th, with bonds
set at $500. Bonds were furnished.

State Line hotel and which was stored
in the Nelson warehouse by the crusa-

STAGE CLEANUP
AT SILVERLAKE
Officers Have Busy Time
Staging Cleanup in Sill
verlake Tuesday.
GIRLS STORY CAUSE

Excitement reigned in the village
of Silverlake Tuesday afternoon when
dual cleanup was staged in the
in that village.
The first part of the cleanup came
early in the afternoon when Constable
John Scholey, armed with warrants
sworn out in the district attorneys
office, took into custody Joseph Stul-
gin, 10, Walter Kamin, 10, and Tracy
Ellis, %, all of Silverlake. The three
were arrested as the result of a story
told to the district attorney by Eliza
beth Smith, a fifteen year old Silver
lake girl, and the young men were
implicated by her in the story of
her delinquency.
All three of the young men were
brought to the county Jail, where they
spent the night. Stulgin and Kamin
were booked on serious charges and
Ellis was held on suspicion. This
morning, however, all three were re-
leased, the statement being made that
further investigation did not war
rant the pushing of the charges
against them.
The girls story is still being inves-
tigated by the probation officer. 1t
was stated that steps would be taken
to put her under closer supervision.
Sheriff Also Raids.
Hardly had the excitement from the
constable's visit died down when
Sheriff Frank "Baldy' Willems and
several deputies arrived in the village
and went Immediately to the Grubel
soft drink parlor. They had blanket
search warrant for the place but fail
ed to find any liquor of any kind.

SAYS BORAH FIGURES
ARE BADLY MUDDLED
United States Senator Under Fire
in French Chamber of Depu-
ties This Afternoon.
BULLETIN


Paris-In an address to the
chamber of deputies today, Pre-
mier Herriott declared that the
first thing I must say is that
France does not intend to deny
her debts.
Continuing his comments on
international obligations, the pre-
mier said:
at is not this government that
will disavow the principle of debts
contracted towards the allies and
their associates during the war"
He maintained, however, that
there ought to be reduction
of the total that the United
States claims.
Laying before the chamber the
governments policy on questions
of foreign policy, M. Herriott, in
less than five minutes, disposed of
the problem Of inter-allied debts.
His general address on foreign
matters lasted several hours.
Paris-Refraining from sentimental
outbursts and treating the debt Of
France to the United States from what
he characterized as a business mans
viewpoint, Louis Dubois, former presi-
dent of the reparation commission de-
clared at the conclusion of a long
address in the chamber of deputies
today that the United States must
considerably reduce her claims against
France, not only in equity and right
but also ito. safeguard her own inter
ests. M. Dubois based his arguments
upon figures, the accuracy of which
he vouched for through the knowledge
he had acquired while heading the
reparation commission he paid spectral
attention to the recent speech of Sen.
ator Borah on the debt question, as.
sorting that instead of the 26,000,000,
900 gold marks ($6,500,000, 900, 000)
which Senator Borah said France hac
received from Germany on PREPARATION
account, he (Dubois) had adduced the
figures to show that Germany up Il
last September had paid to all thu
allies; according to reparation commits
sion figures, less than 8,500,000, DOT
gold marks, of which more thar
$500, 100000 were for occupation

gold marks in cash and 1,733 100000
gold marks in kind, including the
Sarre mines, valued at 100000
gold marks"
He could not believe, said M. Dubois
that America and England would de-
mand from France nearly twice the
amount which they themselves hae
determined France should receive from
Germany under the Dawes plan.
M. Dubois paid high tribute tc
