Of the near divinity of the priests.

Liquor Provision
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich, February Co.
Judge Vincent M Brennan of the Wayne
County (Detroit) Circuit Court last
night told the State Senate he would
resign from the bench rather than i'm
pose a life sentence on person con-
victed of four liquor felonies. Convic-
ton of four felonies makes life sem
tence mandatory under Michigan law.
Judge Brennan was joined in his at
tack on the liquor felony clause of the
Michigan criminal code by Judge AL
fred j. Murphy, also of Wayne County,
who urged the Legislature to make a
distinction between crimes of moral
turpitude and mere violation of the
statute"
I'm actual practice we find the prohi-
bition law in most cases strikes at the
weak and unwary," Judge Brennan de-
clared. He added that he would not
change the fourth offender act as it
applies to 'crimes Of violence or moral
turpitude." -.
IF the time ever comes" he said,
when man or woman is brought be-
fore me and found guilty for a fourth
time Of violating the prohibition law
of this State. and it should become my
mandatory duty under the law to SEN
tence that person to spend the balance
Of his or her natural life in penal in
stitution, would resign rather than
impose so inhuman sentence upon
such a violator of our laws. I could
not sentence a man or woman to life
imprisonment for possession Of a for
hidden beverage and ever again hone

capacity, and February l, 1919, was
promoted to the position of detective
sergeant, and January /, 1928, he was
designated acting lieutenant.
His new detail places him in charge
of the detective branch of the service
from o'clock in the afternoon until
midnight.
His name was next on the list in
line of promotion, and fellow officers
gave him the merited promotion.
Springmann's restoration to duty with
the detective corps gave general salts
faction to the men who served with
him the past few years.
He Is native of this city and men,
Der of the Springmann family in South

ADJUSTMENTS
NATIONAL THEATER.

Taking firm grasp on familiar
plot, the National Theater Player:
opened their second week in Washing.
ton last night with clever and enter.
tanning presentation of Myron C. Fa.
gan's new comedy, The Little Spitfire.
The story deals with a red-haired
peppery chorus girl from the Bronx
who marries the only son of South
ampton millionaire for love, and love
| alone. The match is decidedly obJec-
tionable to the young mans mother
| who had already picked out the young
lady she wanted for a daughter in law
The sons selection, however, determines
| to win the parents over, but the other
girl interferes and the young wife
leaves her husband after being trapped
in another mans hotel room while try
ing to save her younger brother, who
has embezzled money to play the stock
market.
Everything comes out all right, how
ever, when the millionaire parents find
out the true reason for her visit to the
hotel room, and the young man sue
ceeds In winning back his bride after
persuading her that he never really
doubted her motives at all.
Freddie Sherman, as Marty German,
the ambitious but unlettered brother of
the leading lady. took foremost honors
by simply playing part which was
made to order for him with a dash and
VIM which enlivened the entire play.
The exchange of rough-and-ready rep
artee between him and Helen Wallace,
as his wife, provided ample material for
laughter, of which the audience freely
ayailed themselves.
Mary Newton, the new leading lady.
gave a colorful and delightful picture
OF a chorus girls pleasures and tribu-
lations as Gypsy, the little spitfire.
When Wilfred Lytell is brought into
the play as Jimmy Ralston, her hus-
band, he finds himself with a part
which gives him nothing better to do
than hover in the background and make
meaningless little speeches..
Frank Westbrook played the part of
Frank, the younger brother, who caused
| most Of the trouble by stealing $4,000
from his employer to play a stock pool.
He takes the part well, but it gives him
little to do.
One Of the most enjoyable characters
Is Peter Ralston, the indulgent and hem
pecked millionaire father. Charles
Hampden takes the part and furnishes
many chuckle with his ludicrous at
tempts to please Gypsy without attract
ing his Wifes attention. Adelaide Hub
bard leaves little to be desired as to
the unbending, conventional mother.
When 1t comes to downright villainy.
Enid Romany, as the sinister Patricia
Longworth, certainly fills the bill Nv
