DRASTIC STATUTES
FRAMED FOR LIQUOR
TRAFFIC IN INDIANA
INDIANA POMS, March - 31.—The
purchaser of intoxicating liquors is
equally as guilty of having violated
the prohibition laws in Indiana as
the bootlegger, under provisions of
ihe Wright bone dry bill just passed
by tin1 state legislature and which
becomes effective in June.
Under the new law, considered
among the most drastic possession of
liquor also is a crime. A defect in
the previous state prohibition act
caused several courts to rule that
possession, of itself, was not a crime.
The definition of “liquor” also has
been simplified and included in the
list are Jamaica ginger and lemon
extract “reasonably likely or intend
ed to be used as a beverage.’* Wine,
however, is exempted lor sacrament
al purposes.
Provision also was made for more
severe penalties for tirst, second and
subsequent violations of the law. It
denies the court the power to sus
pend sentence in third and subse
quent convictions under the general
prohibition section and in second and
subsequent convictions in the clause
prohibiting transportation. Violations
of both sections is made a felony,
and prison sentence on any convic
tion is made mandatory.
The penalty for public intoxication
has been increased, making it a line
of from $10 to $100, to which may be
added six months’ imprisonment In
jail. Second conviction of driving
an automobile while intoxicated is a
felony, and the law provides that the
court shall prohibit the person from
driving the vehicle for not more than
a year.
The law also removes all property
light in liquor kept contrary to the
act, or to any receptacle or vehicle
in which liquor is kept, and provides
that they are at once forfeit to the
state.
■Where fluid is poured out, destroy
ed or carried away by the tenant or
other person when premises are b(*ing
I searched, the fluid shall be prima
' pacie intoxicating liquor and intend
I ed for unlawful possession and sale.
Other outstanding points of the act
i
are:
Provisions for impeachment and re
; moval of any state, county, township
or municipal officer, or police, who
refuse, neglect or fail to discharge
their duty in enforcing the law, and
that trial be without jury.
Where any prosecutor fails to do
I his duty, the attorney-general may
: assume charge and employ whatever
: deputise necessary.
If a witness for the state in a pros
ecution under the liquor law testifies
in a manner to incriminate himself,
he shall be immune from prosecution
for violation of the act growing out
! of or pertaining to the particular
'transaction concerning which Ire tes
tifies.

Man From Kish Was
Firs! Lifer of Record
LONDON, Mar. 30—Who is the
earliest reputed liar?
Answer: The, man from Kish.
At least the Weld-Blundell and Field
museum expedition which has beer
excavating the long buried city of
Kish—4000 B. C., and eight miles to
the eastward of Babylon — thinks that
the humorous baked clay tablet which
has been unearthed there describes
the most ancient liar thus far known
to history. lie was a hunter and the
tablet satirized him in the act of tell
ing a “tall story” about his prowess
in the hunting field. At any rate a
Sumerian artist has caught and im
mortalized him in the act of pulling
a yarn that nobody can or will lie
lieve.
And as this man was — as lias been
said — 4000 B. C., in the habit of pull
ing “long ones,” it seems to have an
almost respectable antiquity.
Among other evidences of higher
civilization found are:
Miniature chariots used by the ba
bies of Kish as toys.
Ladies’ bone hairpin, with massive
heads.
Clay tablets recording ihe oldest
writing yet found in the history of
the human race.
A big vase shap d like a cham
pagne glass — one of the most unex
pected finds of all, as this is not a
traditional vase form at all.
