HAGEAR7Y FINED $I5O IN BIG BEER SEIZURE Youth "Very Nervous About Case" Lawyer
 Tells Judge

Frank Hagearty, aged 20. of 22 Prospect street, was fined S15O and costs by Judge filling in police court this morning on the charge of hav- ing liquor with intent to sell. He pleaded guilty and was represented by Judge w. F. Mangan.
 Detective Sergeant Ellinger testi- fled that as he and Sergeant O'Mara and Officer Stadler were riding in the police service car yesterday forenoon on Arch street they saw a truck load of beer pass. Officer Stadler noticed it and they followed it. They found it in the rear of 110 Rockwell avenue, partly in garage beneath a dance hall and partly out in the open. Some of the beer was in the garage and the rest was on the truck and was being moved about by Hagearty. The sergeant could not tell whether Hagearty was loading or unloading the truck. Hagearty admitted having the beer for sale, the sergeant said. There were about 60 cases.
 Judge Mangan said the defense would admit that the beer contain ed an alcoholic content in excess of that permitted by law. He said Hagearty has not been arrested be- fore and is very nervous about the case. He has assured Judge Mangan that he will not violate the liquor law again.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein said the charge on which the arrest was made was that of transporting by means of a motor vehicle but in view of the inability of the officers to swear they had seen Hagearty driving the truck while the beer was in it, the charge was changed. The officers believed Hagearty had driven the truck but they could not swear to 1t, as they had only a passing glimpse as he passed them.

From 10:30 q. m, to 1:l5 p. m.. today, the police department, and more particularly Captain Kelly and Officer Dolan, was in the throes of great excitement and worry, due to the reported loss of the ten months old daughter of Mrs. Tillie Dull of 40 Elm street, the baby having been left in her carriage in front of Wool worth's store on Main street, by her grandmother, Mrs. Olson of 40 Elm street, only to be missing when Mrs. Olson came out a few minutes later.
 Mrs. Olson notified Officer Dolan, who started an investigation at once. Mrs. Dul, who is employed by Lan- ders, Frary and Clark in the $. ao K. branch on Ellis street, was sum- moned and other relatives were neti- fled. The search was on. Oftlcer Dolan went all over the city to var ious addresses where 1t was thought the child might have been taken but not the slightest trace could De uncovered.
 The police learned that the ln- fant's father is in the navy and has never seen his baby. Immediately credence was given to the theory that he had come into town and had the child pointed out to him and, be- ing overcome by paternal affection had carried her off without notifying anyone.
 At 1:15 o'clock, when the mystery was at it's height, Captain Kelly heaved a great sigh of relief when he received a telephone call from Sergeant John J. King, who had been told by Officer A. E. Atwater that the child, still securely bundled in its carriage, had been found in the rear of Grants store, a short distance from where Mrs. Olson had left her.

 ISSUE OF CAMP AIGN
Senator Willis Says Demo- crats Seek to Belittle
 Administration

Newark, Ohio, Sept. 29-tP-- Endorsement or repudiution of the administration of President Coolidge and the policies of the Republican party was declared the dominant national issue in the Ohio campaign this fall by United States Senator Frank F. Willis, at the formal open ing of the republican state cam paign here today. Senator Willis is opposed for reelection by former Senator Atlec POmcrene.
 "The rest of the country under stands the issues and awaits Ohio's judgment" Senator Willis said. "up- on it's record of pledges redeemed, international peace restored, foreign entangiements avoided, debts paid, taxes reduced, protective tariff maintained, public credit enhanced, good wages and steady employment secured, business prosperity cncour- aged, Governmental economy prac- ticed, the republican party of Ohio confidently appeals to the clector- ate"
 The democrats purpose Is the "crippling of the administration of President Coolidge as the first step towards their establishment of a full flcdged democratic regime in 1928" the senior Ohio senator de- Clared. If President Coolidge can be hamstrung now by the election of democratic senators and representa- tives on any local preteXt whatever, | the way is open for further demo- cratic success in 1928; 1926 is only preliminary to the big battle in 1 1928"
 General battle plans as outlined | by democrats in their "book of facts" Senator Willis said. are to | 'assail and belittle in every way every act of President Coolidge, and to soothe and coddle business men and workingmcn by seeking to create the impression that democra- tic candidates for senate and house are conservative and exceedingly friendly to industry and business"
 In this way, he said, the demo- crats hope the real issue may be so befogged and bcclouded and enough voters received 10 make pos sible the striking of a fatal blow to the administration of President Coolidge"
 Senator Willis charged that the democratic party was and now is hopelessly and irrevocably commit ted to entrance into the League of Nations" and asserted that no can didate for state or national office in Ohio on the democratic ticket dares in the face of his party record and platform declare against the league.
