by Judge Waiter Pritchard in City j
Court yesterday afternoon.
Lieutenant Winkler said that Wrass- !
man, as soon as he saw the officers com- j
lng into the poolroom, ran to a rear |
room. When the police searched the |
rear room they found two half-pint bot

wall, warm and “hardly settled.”. Al
though Wrassman had been the only one
to enter the room during the past few
minutes he denied the ownership of the
liquor.
Wrassman was arrested and convicted
once in 1919 and fined s.>o and costs
for having sis cases of booze under a
barroom counter, and was given a Bin
liar fine again in 1920 for having two
quarts In his possession.

EVANSVILLE, Ind., Dec 9.—Local

and drove an automobile supposed to
have been stolen from Kokomo. t

cal organizations would receive the full
support of the national body in seizures
and other activities. L >cai councils of
the organization have already been es
tablished in thirty-six boroughs of Lon
don and others are being formed.
! Fears of disorders lead the government
to adopt a policy of aloofness toward the
seizures where no damage was being
done to property.
For the most part the seizures were
carried out in orderly action without
interference by the police. In a few
instances, however, the police attempted
to interfere, leading to reprisal threats
by leaders of the unemployed.
Municipal offices of seven subdivisions
of Greater London have been occupied
by unemployed to shelter their families.
COMMANDEER
VACANT HOUSES.
More than 200 vacant houses have been
commandeered by the unemployed.
The general staff of the “unemployed
army” has formulated long lists of de
mands which have been sent to fifty
mayors in London and suburban cities.
These demands have been turned over
to the home office, which is studying
the unemployment question.
The unemployed are threatening to
march upon Whitehall and to make a
great demonstration in front of Parlia
ment building and the premier's official
residence in Downing street, but the
exact time of the demonstration is not
known.
