LIQUOR BUYER IN PERIL OF PRISON TERM Ancient Federal Law Bared That Puts Purchaser in Grave Danger. Every man, >: ion or child who buys a drop of liquor from a bootledger is m jeopardy of a SSOO fine and three year, in federal prison. If Indianapolis federal authorities decide to set technical. Tills startling new quirk in the federal law. the result of passage of the famous Jones law, was b might to light today by Menander fe. Cavin'. sirtr.nt United States Rummaging through his memory of federal . t-atutes, Gat ins recalled Section 146 of the criminal code, passed by congress, no one recalls iiow' long ago. This section is given new and far-reaching effect by the Jones law. Cavins discovered upon re-reading it. The Jones law designates as felonious crimes the sale, inanufactureor, transportation of liquor. Before the Jones law no first liquor offense, except con. piracy, was a Ifclony. • Ancient yerunon 146 declares that ivnoever lias knowledge of the perpetration of a felony and fails Jo report it to federal officials is as guilty of a felony as the actual perpetrator. and is punishable by a fine of not more than SSOO and imprisonment for not more than three years, or both. Thus, Cavins pointed out. if fedini il authority desire to enforce it, they have plenty of law with which to send the nan who keeps still jrtbout buying liquor from a bootlegger to prison on two counts, because the mere fact he bought the liquor proves that he knew the ■tyquor was was sold and that the bootlegger had transported it to litm. j “Now that we have let, the public in on the secret, we can expect a 'great rush of persons anxious to unburden them'elves to the district at-

torney of the grand jury,” Cavins chuckled. “The penalty for violation of this action makes ‘the silent one' him- - elf a felon.” Cavins recalled that Federal Judge A. B. Ander-on. now a justice of the circuit court of appeals, Chicago, some few years ago from the federal bench here threatened a leading Indiana banker, who had concealed defalcations by one of his tellers, with invocation of Section 146. “It is a pretty good law.” Cavins aid. "and its use ought to help enforce the Volstead act. “Why, if it were enforced to the limk, liquor would increase in price to at least SIOO a pint, because every time a bootlegger made a sale he would know that the purchaser legally was bound to report him to the authorities.” TRACTION VALUE DOWN Union Company Is Assessed at $2,187,367.
