Traffic
BY the Associated Press.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March THE
j. c. Hubinger Brothers Co. of Keokuk,
Iowa, and nine Central Illinois persons
were convicted of operating a conspiracy
for the violating of prohibition laws by
o Jury in Federal District Court today
The verdict convicts the Keokuk con-
Germ and the following Springfield men:
Frank Tito, Vincent Salvo, Carl
Giganti, Sam Tito, Ernest Dinmore,
Sam Lombardo, Joe Punilia, Jasper
Blanda and Biaggio CaIlebrusco.
Judge Louis Fitzhenry ordered the

District Attorney Walter NJ. Provine
said the conviction of the Hubinger
Co. would have far-reaching effect. ut
opens the way TO suppress the illegal
traffic in liquor which until this decision
has been inaccessible to the Govern
merit" he said
THE verdict is also an answer to the
statement so frequently made that the
higher ups are not prosecuted. When
large, powerful corporations become
members of bootleg ring, and know
ingly furnish one of their products, corn
sugar. TO be used in the unlawful manu-
facture Of alcohol, it becomes the duty
Of the Government TO stop such
activities"
Judge Louis Fitzhenry, in instructing
the jury, said that If j. H. McNara, gen.
eral sales manager Of the Hubinger con-
Germ. knew that corn sugar shipped to
Springfield was being used for illegal
purposes, the corporation should be
convicted of violating the law.

II but Paris is richer IN inSp1ra-
4 a ton and the atmosphere OF the
Partisan art world is Invaluable
to the budding artist, declares Miss
Margaret Robinson, rising young WASH
ington artist, who is holding her f1rSt
local exhibition at the Carlton Hotel.
Miss Robinson, although still in her
early twenties, has an international
background for her work, and her group
of 26 oil paintings now being exhibited
includes many scenes of the Old and
the New Worlds. The artist has drawn
upon the charms of the French colonies
of Europe and America, and side by
side with market scenes of Paris are
shown the old courtyards and pic
turesque hooks of old New Orleans.
Incidentally, Miss Robinson'S advice
to all young artists who may not be
able to cross the ocean is to run down
to the Louisiana city If possible, for
next to Paris, she declares, New Orleans
affords better material for the artist
TO portray than any other city in the
United States
I'm recent years." she said, sit has
become quite the vogue for artists to
spend some time in New Orleans. The
artists colony there has grown to great
numbers and its old courtyards and
interesting types offer many attractive
subjects.
Miss Robinson is the daughter of the
late Col. Gordon Robinson, who during
his Army career was stationed In WASH
ingtoh on several occasions. Although
she was born at an Army post in Massa-
chusetts, Miss Robinson claims WASH
ington as her home, and as young
girl she attended the Holton Arms
School. She has studied art at the
American Academy in New York as well
as the Art Students League of that
city, and for nearly two years studied
in Paris ct the Academic Julian and

reports that the French capital has
become too expensive for a poor art
student.
"If tourists are charged big prices, -
she said, 1T is their own fault There
are plenty of small comfortable places
where a girl student can find accommo-
dations that are respectable and rea-
sonable. I think it is well worth while,
for any artist who can afford it, to
go to Paris a while. Although the
instruction may not be as good as in
our schools, the atmosphere which the
