RUM PURCHASER
IN TEST ACTION
OBSCURE FIGURE
Street Car Motorman Is
Defendant to Suit by
Government.
BY HENRY MINOTT
United Press staff Correspondent

WATERFOWL, Mass, March 49,
Two pints of bootleg whisky have
lifted James Edward Farrar from
the comparatively obscurity of mo-
torman's vestibule to a pinnacle of
publicity where he enjoys fleeing
moment of national prominence.
He was arrested for buying whisky
the first big national case of the
government trying to prove the pur-
chaser equally guilty with the seller.
Federal Judge James M. Morton
Jr. held the government had no
right to hold the purchaser and now
the case has been appealed by the
government to the United States
supreme court.
And Farrar, the 32-year- partly
bald and genial central figure, en-
joys this activity which has made
him about the most famous street
car motorman in the country.
Il don't expect to go to JAIL" he
beamed. II don't believe I'll even
be obliged to stand trial. I don't
think the prohibition law was meant
to be enforced against purchasers -
Mrs. Farrar, small, dark and al
most equally good-natured, shared
her husbands confidence.
I'm disguised with prohibition, -
she said. ITO bad if man can't
take a drink in his own home if he
wants to-"
Farrar explained that but for a
"-i-take in identity, the case now
before the supreme court might
never have developed.

of soldiers shown marching through
the hills Of Southern France. The
singing, however, Is so well timed to
the arrival and departure Of the SOL
dlers that the subterfuge Is not con-
SpicuouS.
Novarro himself proves to be
songster OF considerable ability. His
voice Is pleasing and clear, with just
enough accent to lend credence to his
role. He plays the part Of Armand,
an ardent supporter of the vanquished
Napoleon. His talents as o lover,

extraordinarily attractive Dorothy Jor-

NEWMAN'S TRAvELTALK.
From the size of the audience. which
came very near over1owing the aisies,
Mr.. Newmanis travelogue on the Rhine
is one of the most popular of his SUBJ
jects. Certainly at the National Thea
ter yesterday afternoon the company
assembled was devout in attention.
Starting of with Hamburg, Bremen,
Brunswick and Hildesheim, there was
much Of interest shown before the eX-
ploration of the regions of the Rhine
began. In the first port. Hamburg, its
myriad shipping facilities and its new
style architecture, all seemed to be
overshadowed by glimpSes of the open
air zoo, which is the most remarkable
exhibition of its kind in the world.
Here one may see fairly perfect replicaS
of the North Pole, with its bears and
seals living amidst imitation splendors
OF rocks and ice: here the zebras dwell
In a similar habitation to what they
were used to in Africa, and here the
chtmpanzees climb over cliffs, and lions
are separated from the spectators by
only a 20-foot gorge. Here, in other
words, Is animal life reproduced iden-
tically with what it actually is in the
four corners of the earth, making a
trip to this suburb of Hamburg an event
well worth looking forward to.
Through the busy city of Bremen,
with its harbor 40 miles away, in which
lies that new queen of the sea, the
Bremen, Mr.. Newman took his guests
into the town of Brunswick, which was
old and quaint, but not quarter as
old or tenth as quaint as Hildesheim.
It's Guild Hall, particularly, is about the
finest example Of ancient timber dwell
ing now preserved, and everything else
about It seemed to breathe the atmos-
phere of ancient times.
The remainder of the film dealt with
the familiar Rhine, the Lorelei, the
Mouse Tower, the Cathedral of Cologne
and such wonders, and beautifully.
