BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, September 1.-THE
prosecution planned to introduce fur
Their testimony today in an attempt TO
prove that Mrs. Lois Pantages, wife OF
the wealthy theatrical producer, was
intoxicated when the car she was drlv-
ing collided with one driven by Juro
Rokumoto, a Japanese. Mrs. Pantages
is on trial on charge of second-degree
murder, it being alleged that Roku-
moto's death resulted from the accident
Witnesses yesterday said that Mrs.
Pantages apparently was under the IN
fluence of liquor at the time OF the COL
lision.
Woman every Drunk"
Harry J. Lederbrink, a contractor,

Pantages' car at an intersection. He
said she failed to start at the tramc
signal and that he stepped to the side
of her car. she was very drunk, ne
said, land Swore at me-.
Another witness, Cyril T. Holmes,
machinist, testified the defendant drove
into his automobile and he followed her
to the scene of her collision with the
Rokumoto car.
"She was driving crafty" he said,
land going 25 to 80 miles an hour. AS
we approached the next corner she
swerved sharply to the left side OF the
street and hit a small sedan almost
head-on. I saw Japanese children
thrown through the top of the sedan

Mrs. Pantages, who was sitting near
her husband, Alexander T. Pantages:
The latter is facing trial September %

ported to have admitted to officers that
she had been selling whisky for about
three months.

The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1929-03-16

liquor traffic of Japan is the activity of the
women, both young and old. They are be-
ginning to realize and understand more
fully that the liquor traffic is an enemy of
their personal rights, and that because of
the drinking habits of the opposite sex
the standard of their home life has been
greatly lowered.
An extraordinary general meeting at
tended by delegates from every corner of
the Empire is held annually which gives
great impetus to the prohibition move
ment. In my humble opinion my country
men are walking very firmly, step by step,
according to great Divine plan and I'M
der the guidance of Almighty God toward
ultimate prohibition for our nation.
In closing I venture the opinion that
progress is best made in any reform
through education rather than by coercion
of law. I feel that the weakness of our
campaign lies in too much neglected
educational phase of it. Especially is this
noticeable when we see teachers who
themselves are victims of alcoholism.
We believe that q dry America means a
dry world. America must hold fast.
Abandonment of her prohibition policy
would mean Encouragement to the drys in
other countries. We, in Japan, are doing
our utmost in the creation of sentiment
which will enable us to follow the unique
leadership Of dry America.
