STATE TIKES A HAND

Will Assist in the Enforcement of the Anti-Booze Laws in l Counties. _a4 BARD LINES FOR THE SELLERS Will Have to Meet State aa Well aa County Talent—Strange Freak JL of Lightning— ltems. Kokomo, Ind., Sept 4. Acting on the suggestion of Governor. Hanly, Attorney General Bingham baa requested local court officers to note his appearance as a representative of the atato in the eases pending In the Howard superior court. In which four Kokomo saloonkeepers are trying to obt&ln 11-wascs -wascs on appeal from the county commissioners. Nothing in years hag so disturbed local liquor men as thjs step -of the attorney general. They have been informed that it is an entirely new procedure. May Be Put to the Teat. The question of the state’s right to participate in such cates has not been passed on by the supreme court of the state. It Is probable that this will be tested in some one of these Howard .county cases. The saloon men fear that if the state, through the attorney general, appears against them, It will be Impossible even to get license, recognizing that the state is In a position to fight every case to the court of last resort.

Gov. Hanly Explains. Indianapolis, Sept. 4. Governor Hanly said that it was to prevent liquor cases going against the peoplej&y default that he had Wolf employed in the Howard, county cases. “In many cases where application Is made for llceise, no remonstrance, either for cause, or against the traffic, is filed,” said Governor Hanly. In such cases it has been the practice to grant license upon the most formal proof of the rlualifleations of the applicant. The hearings have been entirely ex parte; witnesses have been sworn, a few general questions asked, and the licenses granted, without cross-examination of the witnesses, or substantial Inquity Into the fitness of the applicant. Entitled to Become a Party. “If the people of the state as a body are so much interested in the regulation of theliquor traffic that they have, through their representatives, enacted statutes prescribing qualifications of applicants and reserving to their own agents the right to grant licenses, I am persuaded that the state, representing the body of the people, has such an interest In the trial of the question of the fitness of such applicant as to entitle It to become a party and be heard on that question.”

Their sister, Mrs. Rachel Weineger, at the home, some distance away, across the street, was also shocked by the same bolt, while John Sutton, ten miles distant, at the same instant, was rendered unconscious. This peculiar fact gives' rise to the Inquiry, is there a magnetic foce connecting kin not broken by distance, or were the individual nerves in such a susceptible condition that each felt the shock at the same instant.
