DARROW HELPS CLERK CHARGED wiryoißEßy timers Case Alien juoge ne h Criticising Asks Advice v in Poor Man’s Trial. t nltrd Perm CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—Clarence Darrow, who formerly took legal cases only for big fees and now emerges from retirement only occasionally to fight for big principles, has undertaken the defense of a poor man charged with robbery. The case Is that of Nicholas Pace, 25, bank clerk, charged with clipping $1,024 from his bank's bonds. He needed the money to support his widowed mother. Darrow was drawn into the case by chance while in Judge John H. Lyle’s court defending two notorious gangsters charged with being vagrants under a strict old law of 1874 which Lyle Invoked In his drive to "rid Chicago of crime.” Criticises Drive on Gangsters The noted atomey publicly has criticised Judge Lyle for ordering the arrest of twenty-six "public enemies” under the old vagrancy law. These men, declared "public enemifeA” by the Chicago crime commission, are all notorious and most of therry are wealthy. The law of 1874 provides that a man who can not prove he is making an “honest” living, is a vagTant, liable to a jail sentence. The Judge’s plan is to so harass all twenty-six of them that “they will not have time to get into any mischief.” Darrow criticised this plan, charging that It was "outrageous” to charge men with one crime when they really are wanted for others and to demand SIO,OOO bonds when SIOO bonds are customary. Judge Asks Darrow’s Advice “Nous, Mr. Darrow, what would you do in a case like this?” Judge Lyle a&ked of the attorney as Darrow sat In the rear of the courtroom waiting for the Pace case to be concluded and his own clients called to the stand. “You know my tendency against leniency, but I don’t believe Pace should go to jail,” Darrow replied after considering the evidence. "Give me the case a little time and I think we can straighten this out.” The trial was continued until Oct. R. Darrow’s other clients were granted changes of venues. CANADA’S BIG GAME HUNTERS FARE WELL Northern Quebec Reports Abundance of Wild Life in Woods. ft)/ Timm Special MONTREAL, Quebec, Oct. 2. Hunters in the forest of northern Quebec are doing well, according to reports from outfitters in that area. Last week the taking in of the first moose of the season was reported from the Manouan preserve cf the Hudson’s Bay Company. Reports received today by C. K. Howard, manager of the tourist and convention bureau of the Canadian National Railways, from the La Tuque and Lake St. John districts, indicate the presence of plenty of big game.

NATION’S LIQUOR BILL STILL HIGH Spends Million More Than in Wet Era, Says Report. Du United Vres* WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment has made public figures which assertedly show the nation is spending many millions of dollars more each year for intoxicants than it would without prohibition. The report attacks claims that increased productivity of workers is due to prohibition. The United States’ drink bill amounts annually to $2,848,000,000, the report asserts, comparing that figure with an estimate of $2,500,000,000 without prohibition. The former figure is reached by totaling the cost of 790,000,000 gallons of beer, 110,000,000 gallons of wine and 200,000,000 gallons of spirits. The retail price of beer is given as 50 cents, wine $2.30, and spirits sll. The prices were reached by averaging bootleggers’ reports from thirty cities. “If we were to apply top bootleg prices to our estimates the total drink bill would be appalling,” the report stated.

BNE OF THE REASONS why COKE will heat your home better lies in the fact that it makes no soot. Quoting a U. S. Government report: . . Soot is a poor conductor of heat; when it is deposited on the heating surfaces of the boiler or furnace, much less heat is utilized in heating the house, and a large part of the heat passes up the chimney. . . . The results obtained thus far show that coke can be burned in house-heating furnaces much more efficiently than soft coal.” In addition, COKE is light and clean to handle, does not shrink or slack in the bin and makes no smoke. There is very little ash. Try COKE for a month in your heating plant. You will agree that it is a better fuel. GSBES3 45 S. Pennsylvania RI. 5421
