Of the neighborhood boys "All he had
to do was turn the door knob back and

good hefty push would do the trick.
Collins flashed his light and in

While he was speaking Olson arrived,
and after hasty look around, lamented
his bad break. "A new shipment of

CLEVELAND, January 7.-For nine
wears Harry Stanley lived a quietly
prosperous life in Cleveland as the
manager of a music publishing house
but this week the law began laying a
hand on him. Tonight he was branded
a fugitive from justice in two States.
So two detectives went out TO tap
Stanley on the shoulder and tell him
he was wanted at headquarters to talk
about a crime committed In st. Louis
II years ago.
Thursday a pair of sleuths marched
the business man into headquarters to
talk over the theft of an automobile In
Denver nearly Is years ago.
And Stanley talked readily enough:
Yes, he had gone to a Colorado road
gang in 1917 for stealing an. automobile
under the name of Glenn Smeerman.
Yes, he had escaped in 1918 after serv-
ing five months of a sentence Of three
years.
But" said Stanley, "a woman
led me to drive car didn't know was
stolen. / went to prison for her, and
now she's trying to blackmail me-after
all these years she has turned me in to
Colorado authorities.

nized by society at large by the medical
profession generally and by numerous
court decisions as intoxicating
'The eighteenth amendment pro-
hibits the traffic in intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes. and we insist
that the bill is unconstitutional because
it permits traffic in intoxicating beer
IF it should be decided, as has been
suggested, to SO change the present
bill as to provide that beer of more than

that such action would be a subterfuge
unworthy of the highest legislative body
