HEAVY INCREASE
GA Criminal Cases Opened
With Only 8 ACquittaIS

nal cases we're opened, 579 telrmi-
mated and 551 convictions obtained
during the year, compared with 321
cases opened, 356 terminated and
327 convictions for the previous

port is the fact there were only
eight acquittals, or one acquittal to
every sixty-nine convictions. The
year before there we're five acquit-
tails.
511 Pleaded Guilty
Of the convictions listed, 511 were
please Of guilty, compared with 281
the previous year.
Heavier fines were levied in the

tually collected slumped heavily.

lected, while the previous year
$42,223 in fines were imposed and
$27,410 collected.
An overwhelming majority of the
criminal cases before the court were
for liquor law violations.
There were 522 liquor cases COM
menced, out of a total of 614 for
all offenses; 487 terminated and All
convictions, of which 435 were on
please Of guilty Five were ac-
quilted.
Liquor fines totaled $39 1903, or
thirteen times as much as for all
other offenSeS combined.
Civil cases in which the govern
ment was interested also increased
in number form SO commenced the
previous year to 262.

trials left 208 cases pending at the
close of the year, compared with
only 81 at the close of the previous
year.
Of the civil cases, 200 repre-
sented war risk compensation suits.

Official Says.

Bg United Press
ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y, July
1s.-Local authorities have set
Friday night as the deadline for
court appearance of a prohibition
agent involved in dry raid dis
orders here, with an ultimatum to
the department of justice to produce
the defendant or he will be taken
by force"
Non-appearance Of Burke Bourne
man at a scheduled hearing Mon
day night brought the sharp de-
mand from Harold Donaldson, dis
trict attorney. Boureman was
charged with reckless driving after
his motor car ran down two per-
sons afte a series of dry aids here.
The accident caused a street fight
between agents and townspeople.
Contempt Action Threatened
Added to the demand for Bourne
mans appearance was the an
nouncement from Chares Trickey,
justice of the peace, that he was
considering citing the dry agent for
contempt Of court for delaying the
hearing.
Donaldson declared Bourneman
had been paroled in custody OF
United States Marshal Larnmarth
of Watertown, for appearance here
at 8 Monday night. The district at
torney was indignant today, vowing
to bring the agent before a court.
"Ill see this thing through to
The end" Donaldson declared.
"Bourneman will be taken by force
If necessary"
Donaldson sent telegram to the
department of justice explaining
the case.
Tension Is Diminishing
Hearing set by justice for to-
night at 7 p. m" it said. Waited
one hour and agent did not appear.
Will your department produce this
man Friday at 7 p. m. Advise" j."
Tension over the dry raids
which the village charged spoiled"
the convention of Spanish-Amer-
lean war veterans appeared to be
decreasing here. A crowd of nearly
1000 packed the convention hall,
where Boureman was to be ar
raigned. When the agent did not
appear the throng filed out in an
orderly manner.

DUBLIN, July 19.-The Free State
government Is willing to arbitrate
its dispute with Great Britain
President Eamon de Valera said
today, although British insistence
that any arbitration tribunal be
drawn exclusively from the British
commonwealth may prevent action.
De Valera's statement criticised
the British demand that disputed
payments of land annuities to the
British crown, withheld by the Free
State, continue as preliminary to
negotiations.
The British established retalia-
tory tariffs to make up the loss
from the annuities, and the Irish
Dali rushed through a tax on Brit
ish products. The senate considers
the tariff measures today, and may
delay their passage.
Nature of the conversations be-
tween De Valera and Prime Minis
ter Ramsay Macdonald at London
caused great disappointment in Ire
land. for it was realized that an eco
nomic war was likely to be more dis
astrous to Ireland than to Britain

THRIFTY HORSE DIES

Falls Before Shot Is Fired.

By UHitcd Press
EVANSTON, Ill, July 19.-In
death as in life, Sandy, who started
his career as a proud firehorse and
wound up drawing garbage
wagon, was a true Scotsman.
In his career of service for the
city that lasted nearly thirty years,
Sandy became noted for his eco
nomical ways. He even ate spar
ingly. When employees offered him
more than pint of oats and a
forkful of hay day, he eyed them
reproachfully.
Even on such slight rations, the
city finally decided Sandy no longer
was worth his salt. A policeman
led the old horse to the incinerator
He pointed a revolver and was
about to fire.
Before the officer could pull the
trigger, Sandy gave last reproach-
full neigh and fell dead. He had
saved the city bullet.
