RUM PLANT IS HELD
WITHOUT LAW RIGHT
Judge Frees Former Constable,
Convicted of Arson for Firing
Distillery Building.
BY the Associated Press.


PHILLIPS, Wis, May ia ruling
believed here to have no precedent in
the annals of prohibition enforcement
was made by Judge Gullick M. Risjord
in court here when he held that a
building used for the illegal manufac-
ture of liquor had no property right.
The ruling came In the case of HAL
mar Blumberg, former constable Of
Prentice, Wis, found guilty by jury
of arson for setting fire to shack in
which liquor was found. Judge Risjord
set aside the jury's verdict in the case
and discharged the defendant.
Judge Risjord's ruling said in part:
while the offlcer perhaps had no
right to set fire to the shack and should
not have done so, yet this building be-
ing a part of a site for the manufac-
ture of moonshine, there was no proper
ty right In 1t, hence the offenSe charged
against the defendant was not COM
Charges of arson were lodged against
the official by the State fire marshal,
who wished to make test case. 1t was
said that the constable had fired a
number of places in which liquor had
been found

God, from Hearst tactics. There has

supreme confidence that our COMPETE

Jail Visiting Day
May Find Sinclair
Receiving Callers
Maj. Peak, However, Has
Received No Word From
Oil Mans Friends.

This is visiting day for Harry F. Sim
clair and his fellow office prisoners"
at the District jail, but whether mem
bers of his family or other friends will
call on him was uncertain last night.
TAI. William L. Peak, superintendent
of IT. institution, said he had received
no word of a prospective visit by rela-
tives. If they apply for permission to
see the oil magnate they will be allowed
to talk with him in the rotunda or
Office between and 8 pm. The oil
mans wife has been IN Washington
several days.
Today marks the end of Sinclair's
first week in jail. Beginning tomorrow
he will have II more weeks before ex-
piration of term imposed by the District
Supreme Court for his refusal to answer
questions during the Senate oil inquiry
II his behavior Is good" he may escape
serving the last two weeks of his sem
tence.
May Attend Church Services.
This morning he will have his first
opportunity to attend a jail religious
service. BY coincidence, the 9 o'clock
meeting will be conducted by minister
of his own faith, Rev. George w. Dow,
superintendent of the Episcopalian City
Mission, who will hold an Episcopalian
communion service at that hour, and
will return to the jail in the afternoon
and hold another devotional program.
At 10 o'clock this morning there will
be a Catholic service under auspices of
the ST. Vincent de Paul Society
Attendance at the services IS not
compulsory. If Sinclair wishes to be
present, he may join with other office"
men In occupying seats in the jail's big
Other prisoners will sit on the
steps leading to the tiers of cells on
the second and third floors. The latter
will be behind iron grating.
There will be a musical program at
each service, with selections by a small
choir. The old piano, which is the
sole piece of furniture" regularly in
the rotunda, will accompany the sing
erS.
Boyhood Friend Is Caller.
Sinclair had one visitor yesterday, by
special permission of the jail superin-
tendent The caller was portly gen.
in gray, who was introduced to
Maj Peak as Judge Chandler of Okla
homa" The judge was brought to the
jail by G. T. Stratford, Sinclair's New
York attorney, who accompanied the
oil man to Washington last Monday
night. Stanford said that Judge
Chandler was a boyhood friend of SIN
clair, and that the two were brought
up together In independence, Kans.
Following an admonition by Maj.
Peak, Sinclair has discontinued giving
tips to fellow prisoners and jail at
PENDANTS. He has only about SIS on
him at a time, and uses this only to
purchase cigarettes and other articles
from the jail store.

MRS. MCCORMICK
TO RUN FOR SENATE
May Oppose Deneen, Fulfilling
Promise Made at Kansas
City Convention.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 11.-Mrs.
Ruth Hanna Mccormick, United States
Representative at large from Illinois,
announced today that she would be a
candidate for United States Senate in
1890. The announcement was made in
a letter to William H. Crum of this city
and was published by the Illinois State
Register this afternoon.
Senator Charles S. Deneen of Chicago
is expected to be her opponent.
Todays announcement is the first
definite echo of the guns Mrs McCor-
mick fired at the last Republican ma
tional convention at Kansas City.
At that time she threatened to crush
Roy o. West, who later became a mem
Der of the Coolidge Cabinet. Mrs. Nc
Cormick then said she would run for
United States Senator against Deneen
and that she would beat West for ma
tional committeeman. There was a
compromise, however, and West became
national committeeman. Mrs. McCor-
mick named the national COMMITTEE
women, Mrs. Jacob Bauer.

Three miles away, the town of Do

bodies, are five Biaga children.
They are motherless and fatherless,
with the grim specter of starvation
peeking at them through the broken
windows of their hillside shack.
Three years ago they were happy
family-their mother was living. Their
stepfather, John Colson, provided for
them while he worked in the Black
Diamond Mines. A few months later
the mother died.
Then they moved up Ella Hollow
where the struggle for existence be-

January, the father disappeared. He

his little brood and ultimate starvation

them was setting on some eggs he
hoped she would hatch.

But little Harry, 4, was hungry to-

hillside home, he struggled to keep a
pan of big red kidney beans cooking.
He was hungry and he wanted to eat.

Expected to Consider Brook
hart Request Tomorrow.

Developments on the proposal of Sem
ator Brookhart, Republican, Of Iowa
for a senatorial investigation of real
estate financing in Washington may
come tomorrow when the judiciary
committee, to which the resolution was
referred, holds its weekly meeting.
Senator Norris, Republican, of Ne
braska, chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee, said yesterday he has not yet
studied the resolution, but said he pre-
sumed the committee would consider
it at tomorrow's meeting.
Senate Action Is Necessary.
Senator Brookhart did not make pub
lie yesterday the additional data he is
compiling in connection with the ale
cations contained in the resolution,
but there were indications it may be
forthcoming tomorrow. He took no
further action yesterday in connection
with the matter, pending its considera-
ton by the judiciary committee. He
left the city early in the day for a brief
trip over Sunday, but will be back at
the Capitol tomorrow.
If the judiciary committee reports
out the resolution, it then will be placed
on the Senate calendar with whatever
recommendation the committee may
decide to make. The next step would
be for Senator Brookhart to seek its
consideration, action by the Senate
being necessary before an investigation
could be undertaken.
Financing Inquiry Is Asked.
The resolution asks the Senate to
authorize the judiciary committee to
investigate the activities of the real
estate and finance corporations of the
District with respect to the sale of
mortgage bonds, first and refunding
mortgage bonds and general mortgage
bonds upon properties in the District
of Columbia and elsewhere ="
The preamble of Senator Brookhart's
resolution contained a number of
charges against the F. H. Smith Co.,
but It also referred to real estate and
finance operators" so that the inquiry,
II it should be ordered, would not be
confined to any one concern.
