LAW PUIS POLICE raifliA What to do With the Drunk Found With Liquor On His Hip. If police prosecuted every drunk arrested with llqtior on his hip and charged him with violation of the state liquor laws under the new section fixing an Irrevocable sentence of thirty days and up in the county jail, the institution would be filled with prisoners within thrfe months.

That was the gist of an opinion of Hammond police authorities today as they prosecuted George G. Morton for intoxication, although they took from his pocket a bottle of moonshine. Morton was fined on the lesser, commoner charge. Joe Todd, said he could file no other charge against him because he didn't know that Morton was "possessing liquor" when arrested. Todd says his affidavits must bear complaints filed under the advise of police officers.

It is not his province to select the charge against the prisoner. This must be reckoned by the strength and amount of evidence gathered by police, he says, and the statute violated. Virtually two-thirds of prisoners arrested for intoxication are carrying "extra-additional" liquor on thftr persons "besides that within them. It is the belief of police that the law making possession of liquor an offense, punishable by a fine of llSft and a workhouse sentence of thirty days, is not aimed at this class of violator, harmless compared with the bootlegger and booze runner. Tolice say, too, that strict enforcement of the law without a regard for circumstances might also prove an easy method of revfnge.

What, they point out, is to prevent a bibulous soul who has won the wrath of other -bibulous souls, from accepting the hospitality of the bottle and then being pushed by his -nemies into the highways with a bottle of booze secreted in his pockets by the knaves whom he has crossed. He would be arrested and tried for violating the liquor His. plea that the booze found In his pockets was not his own and that he didn't even know it was there would sound so nilly that the judge might even fln3 him for contempt.

The fact that Senator VanOrman also is reg-arded as "a candidate for the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor leads observers to wonder whether he and Nedjl have evolved the same compact that resulted in making the latter floor leader.
