Analysing Law

The true view, as submit, is that
the law is what the judges declare;
that statutes. presidents. the opinions
of learned experts, customs and moral
ity are the sources of the law; that
back of everything lie the opinions Of
the ruling spirits of the community,
who have the power to close any of
these sources; but that as long as they
do not interfere, iuds IS, in estab-
fishing law. have recourse to these
sources.-John Chapman Gray.

Birds That Cannot Walk

All members Of the swallow family
are distinguished by their small. weak
feet which are used only for clinging
and perching purposes. They cannot
walk or hop on the ground. These
birds spend more of their time on the
wing than other birds and they feed
chiefly on insects which they catch
while in flight. Even water is scooped
from ponds by the birds on the wing.
Barn swallows and purple martens
are the most common species Of this
family In America, ''v-i 4

PINCH BUYER OF
BOOZE, SENATOR
URGES ON RADIO
Purchaser Is Worst Foe of
Enforcement, Asserts
Sheppard of Texas.

BIZ scripps- Hot1ard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The
purchaser Is chief obstacle to pro-
hibition enforcement and to blame
for the wrong impression of the
working of the law that goes out
to the world, Senator Sheppard,
author Of the eighteenth amend
ment, declared last night in radio
address from Washington.
Sheppard spoke over the air to
urge enactment Of his proposed
amendment to the Volstead act
making the purchaser equally guilty
with the seller, saying that punish
ment of the buyer now is not de-
fined clearly.
1.-THE buyer should be made
equally punishable with the seller,
because logic and justice alike re-
quire such course" Sheppard as
serted.
when purchase as well as sale
Is made a crime, the seller and the
purchaser will become so suspicious
of each other that the traffic will
receive a serious setback from this
very condition"
Sheppard said the purchaser is
one of the principal obstacles in the
way Of better prohibition enforce
ment. He furnishes the basis OF
most of the contempt and ridicule
heaped from wet quarters upon pro-
hibition, especially by foreign
visitors, who are entertained by
people of wealth and prominence
who serve intoXicants and revile
prohibition, according to the Shep-
pard view.
"These foreigners, utterly deceived
as to real conditions, take false in
formation back to their countries
regarding prohibition in the United
States" Sheppard said.
This false information has led to
the slowing down of movements
against intoxicants in number of
foreign countries and spread a
wrong impression throughout the
world regarding prohibition in
America.
1.-THE purchasers money is the ex-
PLANTATION of the rum runner, the
bootlegger, the illicit distiller, the
murders, the scandals, the bribery
and corruption which attend the ef-
forts of the underworld to circum-
vent the government and the law.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Charles H.
Wacker, 10, who began as an Office
boy and became the man who
turned Chicago from a muddy, over
sized town into a city of beauty, is

AS president of the city planning

position in 1893.
In those days Chicago was a
jumbled mass of buildings and mar
row, crooked streets. When Wacker
retired in 1921, because of i'll health,
his work had resulted in straighten-
ing one hundred miles of streets
and had promoted the double deck
boulevard, fronting the Chicago

 4 black powder pineapple" ex- ploded at the rear entrance of his garage and salcsroom. Property damage was several hundred dollars. A four-ycar-old child. asleep at home block away, was seriously hurt when force of the explosion shook a heavy plaque from the wall, the plaque striking the child on the head.

testimony. He called the jury's at tentlon to the presence of Officer Thomas (. Dolan, finger print cX- pert in the New Britain police de- partment, who was a states wit ness. With grease on one of the tires it would have been q simple matter to get finger prints, he as serted, and if keogh had actually handled the tire as the state claim ed, he would have left his prints. If was significant, he said, that no finger print records were offered by the state. Touching again on Officer Grabeck's testimony, Attorney Me Donough said: T don't say the of ticcr lied. Get me right on that. But I do say he handled the facts 10 the convenience of himself to justify an arrest"
 Says Grabeck Did His Duty
 Attorney Gaffncy. in rchuttal, re- minded the jury that if Koogh was innocent, his attorney would not find it necessary to attack Officer Grabcck. Officer Grabeck did his duty as a policeman. He caught keOGh red handed behind an auto mobile from which q tire had been removed and another was about to he removed. and his hands were covered with grease. Tho issue to be decided was nothing more or less than whether or not Keogh was guilty or innocent, and the state felt that the evidence on which the issue must be decided. was overwhelming ly conclusive of guilt.
 After the finding of guilty was made by the jury and the value of the tires fixed at $I4, Attorney Calf hey said he would prefer to defer sentence until today, but Attorney McDonOugh, after coufcrring with kcogh, announced that he was ready 10 end the ease and accept sentence. Judge Fills was ready, too. Attorney MCDOnOugh said he would not insist on having sentence passed immcdi- ately if it would ombarrass the state in any way, to which Attorney Calf ncy replied that it would not en- barrass the state but he would rath- CT wait until today.
 Finally, however, Attorney Calf ncy said he would make q rccom- mcndation at once. which he did after reading keogh's record, which dated back 10 1918 when he was convicted in New Britain police court on breach of the peace charge and fined $3. Since then he was arrested several times for breach of the peace, drunkenness, robbery and theft
 Attorney McDonough asked the court not to impose fine, as Kcogh had absolutely no money. Refer ring to Koogh's record, Attorney McDonough said in every instance, drink was at the bottom of his trou- ble.
 Assistant States Attorney Gaffnoy said today that BrighcntTs case Would not bc disposed of until to- morrow or possible next week.
