» GILLIOM MAKES * CHARGE AGAINST * BERNE PUBLISHER * >. <CONTIMt I'.tl FHOVt PAUK ONE) The American people can be led in p tight paths, but they cat not be v eu to go against their fundamental ( d conceptions of Americanism. Aimed At Beverages n “There are those who have so far ( lost reason as to read into our prole-, :■ bition statutes prohibitions which are e iot there at a'i. These statutes are ’, aimed at liquors for beverage pur- ’. poses. The Volstead law carefully and e in affirmative language excepts liquors r for medicinal purposes. The Indiana 1 statute does not affirmatively make •, -xceptlons for such liquors, bu neith- , •r does it contain language defining 1 it as an offense if a physician adt ministers whiskey to a patient as a 1 medicine. And the Supreme Court of . Indiana in several cases, beginning . with 1851. hsa held that even though ihe legislature makes no exceptions. ■ in prohibitory statutes for sacra- ( mental or medicinal purposes that, . 'he court always will make the exception in proper cases. For example. i in ISBI. the Supreme Court of Indi- 1 ma. in the case of Nixon v. State, 76 Ind. 524. reversed a case tiecause the lower court failed to make the proper exception in a case where a Irugglst sold whiskey for medicinal purposes in violation of the letter of » statute then in force. “It is not a violation of law today or a physician to administer whiskey is a medicine to a patient, and it' -annot be made an offense under the •onstitut’.on. But the failure of the date statute'to make affirmative exception in that respect, as the Volstead Act does, together with the yrannical fanaticism of the busybodies who are grafting a competence imier misrepresentations out of the rood dry folks has created a popular belief that it is criminal to attempt *o save human life by means of whiskey when a physician prescribes it Our state statute ought to be amendt ed to affirmatively recognize the -xception for medicinal liquors as , i loes the Volstead act, and thus bring ■ he matter under the proper regula- ■ ticn of the United States governi ment. Attacks “Hypocrites” “I’nlessi the people take prohibition in hand and conduct that policy n a common sense way in Indiana,! ’he hypocrite and the fanatic will. cause the people to wish to do away j w’th it entirely. An example of the ■ worst hypocracy I have ever witness- > ?d has recently occurred at Berne, I Indiana, where I grew up as a boy. A trustee of the Anti-Saloon League.

Fred Rohrer, has recently said that I should be indicted because I coop'rated with the leading surgeon of Viams county in an almost superhuman effort to save the life of my ♦ister. But he kept entirely silent ibout his own case. In the presence >f another person over a year ago he rid me that his personal physician, Dr. Amos Ruesser of Berne prescribd wine for his stomach, and that he 'avors the amendment of the Wright let because of the hazard he felt in following the doctor’s advice. Only n August of this year a farmer living near Berne came to my office to inform me where Mr. Rohrer is getting his wine. I am making these facts public only as an example of the diabolical hypocracy of the fanaticsm that is certain to defeat the whole business of prohibition unless it is checked.” Scored By Ministers Indianapolis, Oct. 11. — (INS)—Attorney General Arthur Gilliom today vigorously counter attacked the St. Toseph County Ministerial association which yesterday adopted a resolution scoring him for his recent stand on medicinal liquor. “Your resolution is a typical example of the dishonest bigetry that has brought the great state of Indiana into national disgrace,” Gilliom said in a formal statement. “If such as your membership had been less ac'ive <n the past few years In promoting intolerance, flnaticism, through such organizations as the Anti-Saloon League and the Ku Klux Klan and if you had confined yourselves to the proper sphere of the church and had taught true religion Indiana wolud no* be in her present disgracefullness and the church would be more highly respected and would be a further agency for human good. o France Confer, Chalmer Porter and Vincent Borman motored to VanWert this afternoon, tor a round of golf.

I Faked Short Pass Plunges Through Center to Beat W. &L. By SOL METZGER ALTHOUGH Bob Folwell had left W. & J. to coach Penn, hit forwardl pass went marching on to further vloturk*. One of ’’** m hertti'i- wns a Thanksgiving Day battle witli Washington « at K-< > mond Thev had played tl..‘ previous year and the short pass, with Vuriations. had defeated W. & L. So- the weontl game found them primed to break it up with a brand new defense.

J FAKtU A A -TOUCHDOWN L_ ' Q. * 1 — In order to stop this pass the Wash ngton & Lee coach had decided to have his guards back out of the line when the play was attempted and then move over to the spot where the pass was to fall. There was time to do this. Surely they wouM break.it up. For most of the game this defense worked. But in the closing minutes when the score stood 0-0, Washington and Jefferson tried a long forward pass wit ch was completed and run to Washington & Lee's 5-yard line. Here was a chance to score, but all through the game the W. & L. des lense had failed to give ground. So it looked as though the President’s opportunity would fail. Suddenly, to everyone’s amazement. W. A- J. evidently prepared to use the short pass as a last effort to make the final 5 yards and break the scoreless deadlock. The three backs c. ustered around McCreigbt and he drew back his right hand, holding the ball, all set to throw it to his end. Immediately. McCreight had received the ball from the center, the Washington & Lee guards began bat king out of the line to stop the (flay. Then, an odd thing happened. Instead of passring. McCreigbt pu'led to ball down In a jiffy and started on a dead run for the center of the W. & J. line, with his three pf oteibing baeks leading him as interference. The play hit like a thunderbolt. The W. & L. guards had already backed up to stop the pass, but this t me the W. &J. tackles had crossed the line and fallen directly behind them. Thus both were tripped. And the three center men of W. & J- had already driven through to cut down W. & L.'s backfield. So. McCrelght and his interferers had a clean path ami the winning score resulted. Tomorrow we w.ll show how this pass worked in a Pitt game against the same defense.
