POSSESSION OF LIQUOR NO CRIME^SAYS MI

Judge Shafer Dismisses Prosecution In First Case For Violating Prohibition Law.

John McCrocklin, the first soft drink keeper to be tried in Terre Haute for. maintaining a nuisance by selling or tfhnig away intoxicating liquors contrary to the provisions of the state widf prohibition act. was found not guilty in City Court Tuesday morning by Judge Paul H. Shafer. .McCrocklin was arrested some time ago when several men were found in his place, raising a disturbance and •ome of them under the influence of liquor. The arresting officers seized a half quart of whiskey and six glasses from behind the bar, and arrested McCrocklin and his bartender, Grover Baker. ^rhen the case was called Tuesday morning the officers testified they had seen no sale, and further evidence submitted failed to show that a sale had been made. The only evidence was circumstantial and was based upon the finding of the whiskey and glasses behind the bar.

Attorney Charles Whitlock for th® defense contended that the statute failed to provide or set forth where Whiskey should be kept, He said the law provided tl».t each person might have a certain ainount in his possession and that it did not say whether he should keep it in the cellar of his home or on the bar of his place of business. He said It was not against the law for a man to have any amount within the quantity specified in the law. and that the only violation would b-3 made by the sale or giving away of it. He said the state had failed to ,|rove that a sale hfid been made or that any had been given away. Judge Phafer sustained his motion for a dis missal on the grounds, and ordered a verdict of not guilty to be recorded.

The decision therefore permits all soft drink keepers to keep whiskey on their bars. Just so it is within the amount specified by the act. They will not be permitted to,sell it or give it way, but they may drink as much as they like themselves until the supply is exhausted. They are not permitted to bring more into the state after their original supply is pxhausted.

JAILED FOR CONTEMPT.

With a shrinking aversion for waiting In so public a place, Helen sought i secluded seat at the end of the corridor. it was now twenty minutes of seven, and Warren had said six-thir-ty sharp.

A throbbing orchestra mingled with the hum of voices and shuffling feet.

WARREN'S FLAGRANT NEGLECT INCITES HELEN TO A RASH BUT FUTILE REBELLION. The gilded corridors of the Astorbilt swarmed with the before-dinner crowd. There was a continuous stream of fresh arrivals, most of them were not guests of the hotel, for at this hour the Astorbilt was a convenient and popular rendezvous.

V. -t

Possibly the hotel counted on a percentage of future clientele from this profitless patronage, for no effort was made to discourage it.

Watching with absorbed interest this shifting panorama,- it was ten minutes of seven when Helen next glanced at the clock.

Had Warren been detained at the office? He was usually most prompt —ftever more than a few minutes late.

Anxiously ehe rose and strolled through the main lobby. There were countless men in grey business suits and. rough straw hats—but Warren was not among them.

When she returned to her seat, it was taken. Every chair and lounge that lined the walls of this popular corridor was now filled. Apparently seven o'clock was the universal meeting hour.

Feeling painfully conspicuous, Helen stood by one of the marble columns. Surely he would not keep her waiting here unless something serious had detained him.

The bronze clock over the archway proclaimed seven. Again she walked through in the vain hope that he might be waiting in the lobby. Passing the men's cafe—she stopped short with a leaping heart-beat.

At the second wall table, his back towards the door—sat Warren! A tail gray-haired business man was opposite

A gilt-braided page dashed by shouting, "Mr. Yates! Mr. Caldtvell!" A messenger boy passed through with a handful of telegrams. "How are you girlie?" The man on the lounge beside Helen rose to greet a girl In an abbreviated cheeked suit, twenty-buttoned boots, patent leather hat and white fox boa.

A pretty blonde girl, powdering her nose with her gold chatelaine accessories, was now joined by an elderly, youthfully-groomed man with gray spats and a carnation in his buttonhole.

Some of the couples strolled towards the white and rose dining-rooin, but most of them passed out, making no pretense at patronizing the Astorbilt beyond using it as a convenient meet' lng place.

To Helen it semed an imposition upon the hotel's hospitality. The women were flagrantly the greater parasites. They used the dressing room, the powder, the service of the attending maid, wrote their notes on the hotel stationery, appropriated a few extra sheets, then met their friends in the corridor and sailed off to dine at some cheaper or livelier restaurant.

him. They were talking and smokingJtary career as a member of Co. B, Inover a leisurely glass of Scotch. The blood rushed hot to Helen's face. That he should let her wait for over half an hour in a public corridor while he lounged here!

Aquiver with indignation, she stood In the doorway expecting him to turn, but, his cigar finished, he drew out another and reached for the matchsafe.

Blindly she rushed back through the corridor. Smarting under this humiliating neglect, her mind leapt to action.

Her cheeks ablaze, she made lor the ladies' writing rootn.

With a tensely

held pen she scrowled: "I have waited here since halfpast six. Now 1 am going home.

When you are quite through—yo^ can- either phone or come after me." Again she was at the door of the cafe. Beckoning a passing page, she thrust the note in his hand with an agitated, "Give this to the gentleman in the gray suit at the second table!"

Pausing only long enough to see the boy approach Warren, she darted across the lobby, through the revolving doors and down the street to the subway.

Her thoughts still chaotic, she reached their darkened apartment. Without even turning on the lights sue groped her way to her room and threw herself on the couch in a paroxysm of angry tears.

That he should have treated her with so little consideration or respect! With all his brusque neglect he had always -been punctilious about their appointed meetings. And now for him to spend a deliberate half-hour in the men's cafe, while she stood waiting in the public corridor!

The trilling bell sent her stumbling through the dark. There was some mistake! He was phoning to explain. Then her leaping hope dropped siektningly as central bawled, "Excuse, it, piease."
