eed trareeng sce SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1924. WELL STOCKED CELLARS DEALT SEVERE BL OW Authority ‘of Prohibi- ‘tion Agents Raised (Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Association.) CHICAGO, May 30.— Foresighted home owners, who have had the te- mherity to maintain well equipped cellars, have every reason to be among this nation’s most petplexed and apprehensive citizens. For, ac- cording to the rulings of two equal- ly authoritative courts, they at once can—and can not—maintain those cellars without fear. of prohibition agents, padlocks and jail. ‘The complications all started in the home of John Ostrowsky, of this clty, who had read somewhere a statement about a man's home be- ing his castle in this land of free- dom—and proceeded to fortify the old place against drought, Prohibition agents descended on John’s castle, searched it from cel- Jar to garret—but mostly cellar— and found it to contain enough beer to moisten the Ostrowsky family’s palates for many a long moon. Despite his protestations, the agents dubbed Ostrowsky'’s home a “nuisance” anc hafled him to court, where he was compelled to put up a bond of $1,000 for the privilege ot again entering his said castle. Should beer be found in the house again any time during the next year, Mr. Ostrawsky loses his $1,000 bond and ™aybe his house. He also faces the Prospect of going to jail for con- tempt of court. It was regarded as a very gener- us concession to Ostrowsky to per- mit him to use his castle at all, so, &S an offset, the stipulation was miade that at any time, day or night, yith a warrant or without one, any peace officer can take a_ strojl through the Castle Ostrowsky and make sure that the Ostrowsky re- tainers are not getting all beered ‘up. Federal Judge James H. Wilker- son, of the Chicago district court, signed the order making a peace of- ficer promenate out of Ostrowsky's castle and casting gloom over the owners of some thousands of other ‘well-provisioned iastle cellars in and about Chicago. Imagine the surprise, then of Mr. Ostrowsky and other castle owners hereabouts, when they pick up their newspapers and learn what Federal Judge J. W. Woodrough of the Omaha, Neb., district court has to Bay on the same subject. Throwing out.of court an: applica- tion for an injunction in a similar case, ‘Judge Woodrough not ouly 4 Best News Story 4 Magner White, writer on the San | Dieso Sun who. won the $1000" Pulitzer prize for the best piece of | newspaper reporting in 1923.

As he looks af it, those provisions violate the constitutional guarantee of the right of trial by jury. Meantime, Mr. Ostrowsky and other Illinois castle holcers, are gaz- ing meditatively off toward the west and figuring on how much it would cost to put their castles on wheels and trundle them across the plaing of Iowa into thé moist home state of Willlam Jenninga Bryan. Some of them disheartened at the probable cost of such a move, are talking of defying the Wilkerson order and putting the discrepency up to the president of the United States, relying upon him to get them out of trouble. But inasmuch as the Chicago courts have just sent back to jail one Volstead act visiator whom the president freed and have ruled that even the presiCent can't save 2 man sent up for contempt of court—the court’s weapon under the padlocking law—such persona had better take another think.
