 minor cases might be disposed of

 Defense counsel will argue that the indictment ''is lad in substance an matter" and that e'-n"v e~-- -' fails to state facts sufficient to
 charge the defendant with any tlii.. ioI OiltliS1. u tiiao "ili tldllll iIldt the counts are 'too vague, repug- nant, indefinite and uncertain to charge any facts sufficient in law to
 constitute any crime or offense." The congressman was indicted in Jacksonville last fall on testimony that trunks which he brought here from Havana, Cuba. contained liquors
 He has reiterated his denial of the charges in which the govern
 ment contends he imported liquor through the port of Key West, pos
 sessed the liquor in this country and transported it to Jacksonville. The transportation and possession
 counts in the indictment are mis-
 demeanors and are punishable by i fines. The other count-importa- tion, is d felony and provides for q | p' nitentiary sentence.

 Soon after his arrival from Wash ineton yesterday. Congressman Michaelson expressed confidence in the outcome of the trial.
 Regarding the various published reports concerning the delay of nearly six months in making public the news of the indictment Mir. Mlcha olson said the first he knew of the indictment was on March 9 last, when the district attorney in Chi ca9o called him.
 Some people, Michaelson said, have intimated their belief that endeavored to hush up the matter and have tried to ascribe the delay tc that. It is absurd that any such iHtimations be made"

/ But he didn't know and wished he did
know.
BY and by they came to a place near
the edge of the Green Forest where
some grapevineS had made a tangle
Farmer Browns Boy stopped here and
squatted down so that he could look
along the ground under the grGpevines.
He looked and looked. Then presently
he reached around and drew Flip to
him and put him right in front of him.
With one hand he held Flip, while with
the other he pointed in under the
grapevines.
DO you see them, Flip?" he whis-
pered. Look right in there. Don't you
see them? You wait a minute and you
will"
Now, Flip knew, of course. that
Farmer Browns Boy was trying to show
him something. He looked eagerly in
under the grapevines, but he could see
nothing unusual How he did long to
go in there himself and FIND what 1t
was that Farmer Browns Boy wanted
him to see. Then he suddenly pricked
up his ears. He had heard a faint
sound in there. 1t sounded like this:
"Kwit, kwit, kwit." Flip knew then
that there was some one alive in there
do you hear that?" asked the mas
ter. There they are, right in there!
They are beginning to get little I'M
easy. They see you even If you can
not see them"
Then there was rustic Of dry leaves
and suddenly Flip saw two big birds
walking in there underneath the grape
vines. Their heads were up. They were
so big that at first Flip thought they
must be a couple of Farmer Browns
half-grown chickens. Then he saw that
they were different. He quivered all
over with eagerness.
Quiet, boy, quiet!" said Farmer
Browns Boy In a whisper. 81 don't
want you ever to chase or frighten those
birds. Quiet, boy, quiet!"
The two big birds walked on until
they had reached the edge of the great
pine thicket. Then suddenly one of
them shot into the air and instantly
Flip heard that great noise that had
frightened him so eaelier that morn
ing. Then the other bird took to the
air with another big noise. Their wings
had made that noise. They were Mr..
and Mrs. Grouse, and as they whirred
away over the tree tops they were
splendid sight to see.
Farmer Browns Boy looked down at
Flip well, old fellow" said he, ct

Farmer Browns Boy was no longer
walking briskly down the Crooked Lit
tie Path through the Green Forest. He
was moving slowly, taking few steps
and then stopping. Every now and then
he stopped to peer under or in the

for minutes at a time. Then Flip
would sit down, hang his tongue out
the side of his mouth and pretend that
he knew what Farmer Browns Boy was
looking for and was looking for it, too.

SENIOR SNEAK
Alta Sandberg

The Sophs thought to create in
terest last Thursday by having a
"dress-up' day but alas, for good
and noble intentions arriving at
school they found the halls quite
deserted and lonely, desolate
group of juniors and frosh await
ing them-for what do you think +?
Why, the seniors had sneaked
away in the wee sma' hours of the
morning all to the surprise of
everyone.
Despite some rather awkward
weather conditions, these sneakers
allied the break of dawn with much
enthusiasm, departing for the Blue
Mountains where they gathered at
Kootskooskie to eat breakfast.
Very soon the rain stopped and
they amused themselves by either
climbing up and down mountain
sides to gather flowers or by play
ing baseball and taking pictures.
After much-deserved meal at
noon, they returned to Walla Wal
la to look through the penitentiary
as is the custom when one passes
through that city. Between you
and me, we think they let us thru
because Coach Smith accompanied
us. Who knows? Anyway, most
veryone stayed for the "all-talkie'
movie, then they came home, a
tired, but happy throng.
