Complaint Against Banker in

Ion Recent Raids Violated.
Rights of Residents.
PEATTLE, TVuh. Jan. SI. (Special.)
Holding- to his expressed determina
tion not to arm deputy sheriffs with
warrants to search private homes.
Prosecuting Attorney Lundln today de
nied the application of Sheriff Hodge
for a complaint directed against a
prominent Seattle banker.
The Sheriff sent Deputy Malone with
a formal request for the complaint
after he had read the interview in
which Lundln reiterated his policy of
hunting down those selling liquor and
respecting the sanctity of the home.
"For my part I am not going to
dodge any responsibilities which the
law place on me." said Sheriff Hodge.
Tf Mr. Lundln will not issue warrants
I'll appear before the judge and swear
out the warrants myself; yes, and
prosecute the cases myself, too.
"Fortunately the prohibition law
makes It possible to enforce it without
either the co-operation of the Prose
cuting Attorney, the Mayor or the Gov
ernor." Rlffkts a Home Is leave.
And so Sheriff Hodge and Prosecuting
Attorney Lundln have come to the part
ing of the ways, the prosecutor ap
parently taking the stand that many
of Seattle's most prominent atorneys
do. that the law -gives a man certain
rights within his own home which are
inalienable and that raids on private
residence unless there is proof of il
legal sale or use of liquor, are without
Justification in law.
The opinion held by a large number
of leading attorneys Is expressed by
Walter S. Fulton, who says:
"It 1 the consensus of opinion among
attorneys that the recent raids on pri
vate homes were unjustified and be
yond the law. The Constitution of the
United States prohibits the enactment
of any ex post facto law; an ex post
facto law Is one which makes an act
an offense which was not such when
the act was committed, or that at
tached a penalty to an act which, when
committed, was lawful and without any
penalty. .
"The law punishing one for having
liquor in his or her possession which
was acquired before the law went into
effect when it was lawful to have it
in one's possession, seems to be ex
post facto.
Oklahoma Law Declared Void
"In addition to this. It has been held
In the case of ex parte Wilson, de
nmhrr 18. 1911. bv the Court
of Appeals for Oklahoma, that a law'
which provided that It ehouia oe un
lawful for any person to have or keep
In one's possession any excess of one
quart of any spirituous, vinous or fer
mented malt liquors, was unconstitu
tional and void."
Sheriff Hodge, under whos? Auc
tion the raids on the Boeing and Skin
ner cellars were made Wednesday,
takes the ground that the mandate of
the law and the intent of voters Is
plain, and he Is bitter at the hostile
attitude of the Mayor, the Prosecuting
Attorney and the Governor toward his
raid policy.
"Complaints were made to me." he
said. "It was my duty to make the
raids.
"But Prosecuting Attorney Lundln.
Mayor Gill and Governor Lister are of
the opinion that private residences
should not be raided. .
"None of them Is empowered to
amend or repeal any law passed by the
people. And what Is more, none of
them raised any objection to the en
forcement of the plain law until a few
of the wealthy ones. Influential, promi
nent men who regarded themselves
as above the law. got caught."
Gardeaer Arrest Xot Protested.
Sheriff Hodge point out that no
protest was made when a gardener was
arrested for having a small quantity
of liquor in his cellar. It will not be
his policy, he says, to search private
homes except where there Is evidence
that Immense stocks are stored in defi
ance of the law. Mr. Boeing's supply
of liquor he estimated at 16000. while
th amount taken from Skinner's was
valued at 12000.
"Let me tell you how I came to raid
the Rainier Club. -J was spending a
quite Sunday. Jailer Mike Halley. Mrs
Halley and some others and -myself
were playing whist. The telephone
rang.
"I went to the telephone, I could
hear two women talking. I wanted to
know who It was at the 'phone. The
other woman advised her not to tell,
he was sobbing as she spoke. She
-ald she voted for prohibition, though
he did not object to a man taking a
drink every now ind then.
" 'I voted for prohibition.' she said,
'because I wanted to have ray husband
at home on Sundays, lie used to spend
them at the Rainier Club. Now it is
worse than ever. He's hardly ever
at home. He's at the club every night
and he comes home on rare occasions
in an ugly, vicious mood.' "
JAGS' JAG MERRILY ON

I .aw rtc Resign Place. "
'pOMPTON LAKES, N J., Jan. 13.
The antl-jag board of tills place, known
a the Borough Board of Protectors,
must either act or get out. The Bor
ough Council has put the matter
squarely up to two of the members.
James Lawrence. Justice of the Peace
and chairman of the board, is disgust
rd. He cannot round up the other two
members, and so the Jags of this little
place go merrily along getting Jagged.
Mr. Lawrence does not purpose to
be the head of a committee that will
not commit and so he ha flung down
the gauntlet. If hi colleagues will not
work he'll quit.
The row was caused by the ease with
which Jag-listed drinkers get about
anything they want in the line of
drinks.

EPICURE FEEDING CATTLE
Youth Jumps From Idle Rich Class
to Farm Labor.
KANSAS CITT, Mo.. Jan. 14. Before
Theodore Peltzer's death fall toppled
over the fortunes of the Peltzer fam
ily. Herman Peltzer was known as a
young man of wealth and leisure.
Today Herman Peltzer Is a hired
band on a farm, working a farm hand's
hours and drawing a farm hand's pay,
less a month than he was accustomed
to pay for a dinner Just three months
ago.
The crash that followed his brother s
death left Herman Peltzer absolutely
without funds or employment. The
voiinc- man. who is the younger brother
of a reputed millionaire, was known for
his skill In handling a speemng auto
and ordering a dinner, found himself
forced to go to work at once. He ob
tained work on the farm of Phil R.
Toll, a wealthy lumberman who has a
iarm close to Kansas City.
"I had a cold when I came out here,
but I am feeling fine now," he con
fided to a personal friend recently. "A
man living in the city doesn't realize
how much he misses until he gets out
in th open and lives and works in
the outdoors."
POTATO RAISING HELD ART
Xortli Dakotun Complains at Crop
of 40,000 Bushels From 400 Acres.
MINNEAPOLIS. Jan. 15. Potato rais
ing is an art, according to Nels Fol
som, known as the potato king of the
Northwest. Folsom hails from Hoople,
N. D.. and Is said to raise more of
the tuber than any other man in this
part of the country. He was in Minne
apolis on a business trip last week.
The potato king said that the art of
potato raising is one that few acquire,
which accounts for the fact that there
are not more kings. Few give the right
kind of attention to their growing
crops, he says.
Because of the light crop last season
good price are prevailing, which in a
manner recompense the grower for the
lack of quantity, declared Folsom. He
has 400 acres near Hoople, which he
devote to the raising of potatoes, and
he says that with only 40.000 bushels It
was the poorest season that he has had
since he went there in 1910.
The potato king says he has advised
everv farmer in the Red River Valley
to plant a patch of potatoes, as it Is the
greatest preparation there Is for the
raising of alfalfa.

VANCOUVER, B. C, is having Its

censorship is erratic and inconsistent,

Night Out," was rejected when sub

The charge is made that in some
cases the wording of the moving-picture
act Is religiously adhered to and
that in others it is entirely ignored.
The censor Insists on Judging some
plays by the novelized story, ignoring
the fact that the story told on the
screen Is often entirely different.

no brain, and Mr. Moore assailed the
"repeated and continued failure- oi tne
Government to heed lessons taught by
other wars and develop waterway near
the coast adequate for naval strategical
movements which might become neces
sary in war time.
"With the destruction of our citizens

no armea lnteriereaue, ui- uu "un

is to be aouDtea wneiner a. mo

He said there were, however, certain
indications that we are about to ex

tallize into a National spirit, finding
expression in a cleiinite code of policies
dealing with foreign affairs in order
to sustain which the United States, if

Ex-Secretary Meyer declared ne
fundamental defect of the Navy De

no competent military organization
charged with the preparation of the
fleets for war and with their conduct
in war, and in consequence the Navy
Is being built and administered on a
peace basis and is not being efficiently

"We add to our difficulties." he con

nation that has not a budget system.'

sissippi River at Bolivar Landing, Miss.
He was 27 years old and the son of
Leon H. Prentice, of Chicago and Wau-
kegan, head of the L. H. Prentice uom-
pany, 330 Sherman street.
Young Prentice was on a launch trip
with W. H. Sampson, of Chicago. The
clutch of the engine of the launcn was
broken, according to reports, and young
Prentice got into a "dinky" gasoline
boat to drop the anchor. The small
boat capsized and he was drowned.
Prentice married Miss Marjorie Har
per, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
C. Harper, 2915 Jackson boulevard. Mrs.
Prentice aiyi her daughter now reside
with the Harpers. Airs, rreniice maae
some serious charges against her hus
band some time after their marriage,
alleging that he had chased her and the
baby out of their Summer cottage at
Third Lake in the night. 'She brought
suit for divorce.
Before the case was tried, however.
Prentice eloped to Crown Point, May
29, 1914, with Clara Kaminske, a ste
nographer In his father's office, and
married her under the name of Harold
Pitts. Miss Kaminske told her friends
she was going to Aurora for a visit.
The news leaked out, however, and
got to the ears of Mrs. Prentice. The
mailer was settled by the payment y
Prentice of $50 monthly to the girl for'
a year.
Meanwhile Mrs. Prentice ODtamea ner
Hnorpp of divorce, but there are said to
have been heartaches on both sides.
and the cruise which young rrenuce
set out upon was to have been in the
nature of a probationary period pre
paratory to .a reconciliation.
Both the elder Mrs. Prentice and the
divorced wife of the young man were
too much overcome by the news to dis
cuss the affair.
Hinton G. Clabaugh, head of the de
partment of Justice's local investigation
bureau, said that no member of his
staff is on the Prentice case or was fol
lowing him at the time of his death.
"It was not the sort of thing one
cared to talk about when the man was
alive, and surely not after he's dead,"
Mr. Clabaugh said. "We have had
nothing to do with It for some time
now." "
