SOCRATES NOW

Monkey Abandons Taxicabs
When Given Taste Of
Aviation Joys ,

ROCKFORD. ILL.,, Mar. "A mon
key threatens to become the center
of an alleged army theft charge
here.
This condition Of affairs came
about through publication in local
paper Of the fact that Socrates,
former Simian resident Of the art
colony up the alley" here, and the
most Travelled resident Of Rockford
during the months he was mascot
for taxicab drivers, is now at Ran
tout aviation field, where he holds
the record for the number Of flights,
the number Of hours UP and the
distance travelled.
Socrates-"Soc" for short-was
brought to Rockford by LESSEE Cor
rethers. world traveller. artist, cpl
cure and teachers at Keith's Private
School, who bought the animal at a
bird store in Chicago.
For months "Soc" played his
antics among, the easels. canvases,
ford art colony. Then when Cor
rethers decided to go to the Orient
on a little jaunt the other artists,
remembering what "Soc" had done
to many of their still wet sketches,
were deaf to Correthers' offer to
give the ape to the colony.
So the traveler.arrlst turned "Soc"
over to his friends among the taxi
cab folk. Here SOC had a great
time. He rode out OIL all the calls
all cabs looked alike to him as
long as they were in motion. He
loved motion.
SOC" accompanied some Of the
taximen on their vacation down the
river. The taximen came back to
Rockford without Soc"
1t now develops that Soc" must
have bben intrigued by sight of
planes flying over the vacation
region and started an investigation
At any rate he coined" the air
forces at Rantoul and word seeped
back here that the monkey is the
greatest flyer at the field and wears
a full uniform Of the United States
Army flyer.
The taximen, however want Soc
back. Some of them even 60 so
far as to say he was "stolen" and
a move is being organized to force
the aviation service to give up the

8 JUDGES HEAR
RUM TRIAL At
ANNAPOLIS
Convicted BootIegger Charged
With AssauIt-GirI Dry
Agent to-Be Tried

ANNAPOLIS, March 2.-The i'm.
portance attaching to the most re-
cent phases of the "Bootlegger
Crusade" near Annapolis, was indi.
Gated today when all three judges
of the circuit assembled to try
the allegations OF conspiracy against
Miss Virginia Wilson, the young
woman used by local officers to
make sales OF intoxicants, and of
Myer Epstein, convicted bOotlegger,
and others charged with assault
upon Deputy Sheriff John j.
Gillian.
The judges occupying the trial
bench are Chief Judge F. Neale
Park, and Associate Judges Will
liam H. Forsythe and Robert Moss.
The court room was crowded
Epstein was first put on trial. He
elected to be tried by jury. the
others in the same case choosing
to be tried by the court. Gillian,
the first witness, stated that Ep-
stein had started a quarrel in the
courtroom and followed him to the
street in front of the building and
struck him. He stated a number
OF others struck him at the same
time.
Counsel for Epstein indicated that
the defense would be that Gillian
had threatened to run him out or
town. The court refused to admit
evidence on this line on the ground
that words and threats do not justify
bodily assault.
Indications are that the trial
of Epstein and his associates Will
occupy all Of today, and that the
case of Miss Wilson, to which
extreme interest attaches, will not
be reached until tomorrow.
Miss Wilson vehemently denies
any wrong-doing. 1t is, alleged that
she gave evidence upon which
David Eskridge, an Annapolis
dealer, was indicted, and that
later and for an improper motive
she failed to identify him.
1t is claimed by Miss Wilson that
Eskridge is not the man from
whom she purchased the liquor
which was, to be used as evidences
against him.

New commercial treaties, the

Alterations in import and export
license requirements are important
factors, Lyon pointed out. Tax
laws are changing constantly, as
the pressure to relieve the burden

met by putting more pressure on

ago for a daughter Of Nabonidus,

10 the latest remarkable find" by
the joint expedition Of the British
Museum and the Museum Of Penn.
ton work in this ancient city Of
the Babylonians.
Members of the expedition state
that from this discovery they will
be able to reconstruct the religious
history Of the city, which, in all
probability, centered about the con-
vent.
The discovery was~made during
the digging of a deep trench for
relics of the inhabitants OF the
city. C. L. Wooley, who is. with
the joint expedition, in his report
to the British Museum authorities
regarding the discovery, states that
the convent takes the form Of a
double wall, enclosing a long range
Of chambers, the bricks Of whose
pavements bear the name Of Ma
bonidus.
The ground plan of the building
answers perfectly to the word
"cloister" used in the inscription
preserved in the Yale Museum, and
there can be no doubt that the &C
tual convent OF the princess-priestess
has been discovered.
Wooley states that materials were
also found which indicate that then,
as now, the religious houses were
used, also, for educational purposes.
A relic even older than the con-
vent was discovered during the dig
ging operations. It is in the form
Of little shell, beautifully engraved
with two royal or divine persons,
who are portrayed walking sedately,
holding each others hands.
It Is stated to be a rare illustra-
t :on Of the art Of the period.
