The taxpayers committee asked
that the item of $500 for "Other
Expenses" and $4,000 for new
equipment be cut from the eastern

The resolution as presented by

large proportion of them have
been sold for taxes, justifies deal

Warsaw Crowd Applauds
 Clowns Finale His Death

WARSAW, Jan. 21-Ribo was a clown and there was something clownish even in his death.
 Rightly his name was Richard Mantsbach, born GA years ago in Belgium.
 For 46 years Ribo had smiled his painted smile and taken the falls. So he was doing in Warsaw with his pet goat.
 On the last night the goat butted him unexpectedly. Ribo fell with a peculiar cry so comic that the audience stormed it's applause. His son, sensing a miscue, swiftly car- ried his father to the circus doctor.
 Out front the goat trotted about the stage while the audience called for Ribo.
 But Ribo had taken his last blow. He was dead.

George w. Wickersham, Chair man of the Commission, said:
 The statement in the Washing ton Herald that the President per- suaded the Commission to abandon tentative recommendation in fa- vor of revision is absolutely untrue and without foundation"
 None of the Commissioners is willing to discuss details of the long period of investigation or of the debates or how the separate decisions were reached. It is re- ported that new amendment was drafted with the understanding that it would be submitted to the President with the statement that the opinions of the Commissioners respecting it were divided Six of the eleven Commissioners declared in appended statements they favored either revision or repeal and two alluded to revision as if they und- erstood the full commission was for it.
 Until all members speak, the re- port will continue to be interpreted as Wet, Dry or straddle accord ingly as the reader inclines him. self. There is less dispute over it, however, than over the Presi- dents position. It is said definite ly that he agreed that the Eigh- teenth Amendment should not be repealed and that he did not want it understood he favored revision.
 The Presidents stand is regarded as amazing in many quarters in view of the revision leanings that some saw in the report itself.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. = The beer-laden truck driven by William Sprague, husky New Jersey town clerk and farmer, has deposited a legal bombshell for the Supreme Court to examine.
 It is the decision of Judge Will liam Clark of New Jersey, holding the Eighteenth amendment invalid, and at the same time quashing an indictment against Sprague for H. legal transportation of liquor.
 Last March Sprague, Wingate township clerk, took the wheel of truck loaded with beer and set out for Paterson, N. J. On the route a motorcycle policeman hailed him and glanced at the cargo. It was the end of the journey.
 Sprague set up no denial and made no excuses. He went to jail and came out slightly bewildered few hours later. He had an ar ray of counsel that ordinarily would have cost moderate fortune but they had not mentioned fees and they have not until this day.
 Brings Exhaustive Opinion
 Among them were Frederick M. P. Pearse, Daniel F. Cohalan, Sel- don Bacon and Julius H. Cohen of New York. They were of the opinion the Eighteenth amendment was unconstitutional and Sprague's case gave them an opportunity to test that belief.
 The case was argued before Judge Clark. His opinion, handed down December 16, was an exhaustive treatise, sprinkled with hundreds of references to works on govern ment, going back to maxims Of Confucius and coming down the line to such recent books as Boards American Leviathan."
 It referred to scores of decisions and discussed philosophy, but in
