At onu point he chideel the Chicago platform of the republicans because he said it contained no hope for Ireland, no mercy for Armenia and because It "concealed a Kword" for Mexico. Shouts for Irish. Hack among the alternates, a woman leaped to her feet at the mention of I relandr nhouting hysterically something about "British tyranny in Ireland." "That'.s the answer; we're not members of the league," Chairman Cummlngs called back at her, hut even as ho spoke the sergeants-at-arms were moving down to prevent further interruption and delegates, intent upon their chairman's arraignment of republican policies, shouted "Sit down." When Mr. Cummlngs characterized the republican platform as a masterpiece of "evasion" a shout greeted tho attack and a moment later when he declared that "Old Ouard" has sold the honor of the nation at Chicago to name a "reactionary candidate" it grew into a roar punctuated with cries of "Go to it. Hit 'cm again. That's the stuff." The chairman went through the history of the league from the first mention of it in diplomatic correspondence before the United States entered the war to the second refusal of the senat to ratify the treaty that contains it. He quoted utterances of Sen. Iodge and the late 1'ies't Iloosevent as saying that some concert of powers must be formed. He said the last of the fourteen points enunciated by Pres't Wilson had contained practically the language of Article X of the covenant and that nowhere word had been raised against them. Troiibl.' With Treaty. "The real trouble with the treaty." Mr. Cummlngs said, "is that it was negotiated by a democrat." Up- : carious applause welcomed the jibe. When the chairman called tho roll of nations, already in the league and asked the delegates if they wanted to hear also of neutral states that hid or were about to join, shouts of "Tell us," answered him. Nation by nation he named them and then asked if the delegates wished to know what nations had not joined tho league. Cries of "Yes, yes. tell us" came from all parts of the floor. "Ke olutionai y Mexico. Rolshevist Russia, unspeakable Turkey and yhe United States of America," he answered. A roar swept the hall that took minutes to quiet. When Mr. Cummlngs concluded there remained but routine business to be done and it was rushed through without incident and adjournment taken until Tuesday afternoon. COX SO DRY ROSS MURPHY DESERTS HIM (CONTIXUUn FROM FA OF ONF. ) ces as he possibly can. And he f'rmh believes that any candidate who "has tho least taint of prohibition on him not only will los in the nation but will drag the New " ork state and judicial tJeket flown wit It him. Mr. Murphy has seen too nmny state and Judicial tickets dragged down to care for that sort of thing. Which is why he is off Cox. and will iloubtlcs-s remaun off of him. The Murphy defection has. of course heartened some of the other candidates, and there Is a great deal of MeAdoo talk around today. Rut there Is not enough, as yet. And too much of it Is done by delegates who will have nothing whatever to say in tho final decision. It would be foolish too prophesy, that Murphy will surrnrt no candidate who is dry, but he will not do so unless he ahsolutely has to Co Room supporters. The shook he su tired when he discovered that Cox was not as guarantcd. h.vs left him pretty limp, but he will get going again before the end of the week. And. inasmuch as he has practically the whole New York, state dele-cation In his tst pocket, what be does will n.ake ft di tierence. As for the Cox pcoph, they are now insisting that Cox is just as liberal as he ever was and that doesn't help matters much, for evry time they try to placate Murphy they infuriate Bryan. And that is the rta-son that you will read in the news chronicles of the papers that the outstanding features of the convention's opening is the dropping and withering of the once highly promising Cox boom.

ARREST MAN WHO

CLAIMED TO BE FEDERAL OFFICER Police Capture Swindler Who . Held "Kangaroo Court" in South Bend. (Continui:t from page one.) ent rumor regarding the alleged ' kangaroo courts," staged' by federal agents had placed them in an unfair and dlsa.l antageous position and had made their work In .South Rend doubly dlfticuR to perform. They w ere the first to praise At s't Chief Cassidy and the three patrolmen who had aided in the arrest. , and Capt. Van Hook, who conducted the local raids, ma.- tho following Statement last nljht to thi newspaper: "Every courtesy and aid of tho police department has been extended to us. The police chief and Ass't Chief Ca.ssidy have furnished us valuable information, and to them und tho.-e, undtr their direction we express our thanks." VI. . Hrcnnan, federal prohibition inspector of the state of Indiana, gave the following, to a Ne"sTimes reporter: "W came to s;outh Rend with a duty to perform, und did not nor shall we in the future recognise any local political faction in the accomplishment of It. "As federal police officers we travel the center of the road, without regard to what may grow em either side. And as direct rt-pres entativea of tho federal government we enforce Its laws no matter whom they may cemcern. Thank FroM-cutor. "Thanks are extended to the Co. Pros., Mr. Schwartz, and to his assistant, Mr. Schock. In their prosecution of the cases now in hearing", they haveS given the heartiest of cooperation and have lessened, to a great extent, the obstacles with which we have come in contact. "All credit for the raids conducted here should be grven to Capt. Van Hook and the following men who worked under him; Ren Gould. Harry Mather, Jacob ?mlth and J. M. Montgomery." Mr. Rrennan then explained their anglo on the recent injunction to p re-vent them from removing the Zimmer-Dumbacher liquor. He said that the whole trouble was due to a misunderstanding all around, and that his men had thought the liquor was part of the quantity which they should nt some future date need as evidence. Pros. Schwartz gave the following statement: "I am of the opinion that the many harsh things which have been ild about Bouth Rend lately m.ay have led the federal officers to expect that we might not fully cooperate with them. We have, shown in the cases which have come to trial that each was prosecuted upon the evidence procured legally and that In no ease was a conviction asked either by us or by the" federal officials where the facts did not seem to merit it. "We have worked shoulder to shoulder with Capt. Vnn Hook and we deeply appreciate the Hno spirit shown by him and his men."'MILITARY BALL ENDS FIRST DAY OF ENCAMPMENT (CONTINUED FROM PATE ONE.) iaries, followed this, gave n brief address. , SomcTH Speaks. Orlando A. Somers, past commander in chief of the G. A. R., then addressed the delegates. H pointed out that there can be heroism In peace, and he insisted that patriotism did not necessarity Imply service ir. a war. "It is patriotism to obey thelaws of the land," he declared. "It U patriotism to stand for law enforcement, Why, down In Evansvllle only a short while ago it was necessary to have federal officers come in and enforce the law. If there is another city in this state that has a record like that, it certainly is not to be envied." The speaker then went on to explain how organizations of veterans could wield an appre-clable power at the polls. "Soldiers saved the republ'c; soldiers have preserved its dignity up to thLs very hour; soldiers ousrht to have and will have something to say about the government," he said. Tells of CYmirmlohlp. Floyd O. Jellison, who fought In the Spanish American war. and who was also a lieutenant in the recent war with legion, of which he is a member, as well as a member of the local Spanish War Veterans' camp. He pointed out the comradeship which exists between nil men who havA served under the Stars and Stripes, whether in the Civil war. the Spanish -American war, or the war with Germany. For an hour and a half before the military ball began at Reyler hall the Red Men's band gave a concert in front of the court house for the visiting veterans.

CITY COURT HOLDS NIGHT SESSION TO - TRY LIQUOR CASES Stromer Gets $100 and 60 Days Atty. GillifJm Appeals Cage. (CONTINFED from page one.. a man to taste alcohol in a liquid, to which Helder repliethat if it contained more than 10 per cent the average man should be able to taste it. Asked if he could taste alcohol in the liquid, the doctor announced that he was perfectly willing to try. So he got a drink from each bottle, giving, between drinks, his opinion of the alcoholic volume. Then came the defense witnesses, most of them being brought in ap parently as experts on intoxicants. Ixport on IJquor. ' First was Joe Voorde, county aesesaor and formerly in the liquor business. . Joe came prepared for a regular party and was without his collar or coat. He sampled the first liquid and pronounced it grape Juice. Then Pros. Schwartz asked: "You wouldn't mind having another little drink, would you." "Not at all. not at all," responded the willing witness. At the first sample Joo was frowning but when the fifth bottle was reached he smiled broadly. The party wasn't so bad after all. Even the prosecutor couldn't remove the smile. The climax cam w hen the sample from the Stromers private stock was served. "How does. that taste," asked Schwartz. "Good." answered Joe, simply, but with a world of feeling. I)al a WlncmakcT. Next for the defense came Ed Shephard rf a local brewery. .Rut it developed that he had worked there only threo weeks and that they were not manufacturing an intoxicant where he worked. The state was puzzled to know how three weeks in a near brewery-could qualify one as an expert on wines but it' developed that in the years past Ed's father had been a winemaker. Gilliom did not cross-examine. Then there stepped to the bar John Paris, who was at Stromers' when the raid was made. John was a friend of Stromers and testified that the defendant led the agents to where the barrels were in the cellar and explained that the private stock was never sold but that he had tasted it. Asked how he became expert in identifying liquors. John said by going into saloons to drink. "Oh," remarked Schwartz, "so you paid for your college education." "Yes, sir," John came right back at the state, "and I was a street car conductor for eight years." Rut John couldn't explain why he paid 25 cents for sour grape-Juice except to say that he didn't like near beer and he hated to drink water. Stromer Take Stand. Following this witness the tlcfendant. Stromer, took the stand. He said that he had bought the grape juice from a man named Greenie; that it had been shipped from California and was labeled "California Grape Juice," together with tho name of the manufacturer and the town in California from which it came. Two thousand and thirty-fivo dollars was the sum Strorner said he paid for the fourteen barrels of which seven were sold before the raid. At 3 per gallon he had sold it in four ounco glasses for 25 cents per glass, realizing approximately $3 per gallon. i He admitted the sale but said he did rot know it was intoxicating and contained more than tho legal amount of alcohol. This concluded the testimony and Att'y Gilliom rose for his first argument. In an impassioned plea the lawyer stated that there was a great deal of undue excitement in this town and that it was due in a great measure to the manner of enforcing the federal law. Quotes Hlitorlal. Quoting an edttorlal which appeared in the South Rend Tribune in which it was advised that the state force an arrested person to prove himself innocent rather than for the state to prove him guilty, Gilliom declared that this was subverting the equitable and legal order of things and that in all courts It was recognized that a man is innocent until the prosecution step by ptep shall show him guilty. Gilliom contended that nature was to blame and not Stromer, because the grape Juice had fermented during the hot weather. Gilliom declared that it required more moral courage on the part of the court to acquit Stromer than to convict him because, he said, the excitement of the present time due to public opinion might Influence the court In flndlng an opinion of guilt. Makes Rebuttal. Schwartz made a brief rebuttal, saying that eo far aa ho was concerned the cases were not being tried by semi-public opinion nor by the press. Rather they were being tried on evidence offered in open court Frank Gilmer. He reviewed the testimony laying Mrcsu on the fact that Stromer, having been long in the saloon business certainly knew that the liquid sold was intoxicating. Judce Gilmer then summed up all of the evidence presented, beprinnin with the following statement: "I am trying these cases on the evidence presented here and on nothing else. I have noted what Att'y Gilliom says regarding public opinion. It is unfortunate but true that rules of law seem at times to force a decision, just and fair enough, certainly, but misunderstood by those not familiar with the law. "My opinion isMhat a man sells this liquid at his peril. If he is without knowledge ef its alcexhollc volume, that is no defense. "I believe him not only guilty but, believe that he knew It was wine when he had watched It ferment and then continued the sale. "The Judgment will be $100 and costs and 60 days In the state penal farm." Gilliom took an apreal to the circuit court and bond of $1.000 wa furnished. CALLS AMIH LXNCi:.

For Your Family

There is someone in your family who has a big responsibility. Food to buy for the table; clothes for the children and grown-ups; new household utensils, linen, furniture, books and all the hundred and one little things for which the family income is spent, In most families one person docs the bulk of the buying. And it is that person's job to sec that the money is well spent that you all get full value for every cent that goes out. The success of a family depends on wise buying just as the success of a business does. Wise buying means intelligent buying. It is necessary to have knowledge of goods and stores. The best way to get this knowledge is by reading advertisements. They tell you where and when to buy to advantage. Not only the person who does the buying but every member of the family should read advertisements. It is the duty of all the others to help the one who docs the buying by pointing out advertisements of new goods and giving all the information possible as to tastes and styles and values. Advertisements arc published for your benefit. Make use of them by reading them.
