ACCUSE MAN OF ’STILLING
Case of Lapache at San Fran
cisco Resembles Modern
Shakespearean Drama
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec.
Hippolite La.pachet here has bar
tered his six children for free
dom.
They constitute a bond of liv
ing flesh pending the father s
trial on a charge of violating the
liquor laws.
Thus in modern times has a
re-enactment of Shakespeare s
famous play, ‘ The Merchant of
Venice,” taken place, with the
role of Shylock vested in the!
government.,
Should Lapachct not appear
on the date set for hearing the
youngsters are forfeit.
Just what would happen to
them in such event is a matter
grave legal minds are pondering.
Prohibition agents declare
they found several stills on La
pachet’s ranch.
Papaehet. denied his guilt, but
could proffer nothing of value a;-
bail.
“Money 1 have not,” he told Fed
eral Judge John S. Partridge. “But
my bambinos! They are six. Please
Mr. Judge, take them. It is proof
that 1 will not run away.
For some time the court debated
the plea, then accepted it.
The edict, creating legal preced
ent and history, placed Eugene, 17;
Lawrente, 15; Emily, 13; Frances,
11; Blanche, 10; and Johnny I’apa
chet, 9, in nominal custody of the
United States of America.
On a previous occasion Lapachet
parted with his children.
That was when juvenile court of
ficials took them away following
the mother’s unfathomed depar
ture four years ago.
They are subsequently returned
when Lapachet demonstrated his
unquestioned capability of caring

SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed With Sulphur It
Brings Back Its Beautiful
Lustre At Once
Gray hair, however handsome, de
notes advancing age. We all know the
advantages of a youthful appearance.
Your,hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. .When.it fades, turns
gray and looks streaked, just a few
appiioations of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hdndred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get frbrn any drug store a bottle of
“Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of oth- I
er ingredients. Thousands of folks '
recominend this ready-to-use prepara- i
tion. Because it darkens the hair beau- ,
tifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, .
as it darkens so naturally and evenly, I
You moisten a sponge or soft brush
with 'it, drawing this through the hair,
taking one small strand at a time. By
morntng the gray hair disappears; af
ter another application or two, its
natutjl color is restored and it becomes
thick, glossy and lustrous, and you ap
pear years younger. '

for them. I jJJ
“Since my wife went away I am
both father and mother too,” La
pachet said.
“My bambinos I love more than
anything in the world. For them J
would do anything.
“I wash them and dress them
when school time comes. I cook for
them and keep house, too.
Lov e Wins Debate.
“Why, then, is it, when they
mean so much to me, should any
one ask have I no money to get
out of jail when I give my bambinos
as pledge instead?”
“A man with a record such as
this, with children whom be loves,
is not likely to run away from the
courts’ jurisdiction,” Judge Par
tridge said in explanation of his u:i
paralelled decision.
“It would be ’no less than an out
rage to keep him in jail when pro
fessional criminals gain freedom on
• bail.
“The children are accepted as
■ theoretical <bontl.
In my mind there is no doubt
but what this man will be in court
> on the late appointed for trial.
; He needs his children and they
need him.

Ex-Service Man Hrs Attack in
Lobby of Windsor; Is Taken
To Police Barracks
James Tillman, an epileptic, who
claims t<i he an ex-service man, was
seized with an attack Sunday eve
ning in the lobby of the Windsor
and at the request of the hotel
management removed to the police
barracks. Aft r an examination
there. Dr. J. \V. Chambliss decided
the man was not drunk and after
he had revived he was allowed to
go on his way to Albany, where he
stated he has an uncle residing.
At the polie,, station it was found
that Tillman's overalls had been
cut about, the breast, and it was
thought he might be the nian who 1
attacked A. I . Williams the night
previously on Taylor street. It was
shown, however, that he did not
reach Americus until Sunday after
noon, coming here with an autoist
who had given hint a ‘‘lift” on his
way to Albany.' According to his
story Tillman has rco’ntly been in
a number of -overnment hospitals
receiving trc.i nient for injuries sus
tained in Hance during the war,
and be is apparently a nervous
wreck. Th,, cuts in his overalls,
Ti Iman said, were made by a foot
pad who attacked him in Macon just
prior to his departure from that
city during, Friday night.

New Stamp to Be Affixed Cigars
and Cigarettes By Retailers ;
To Be Ready Wednesday
ATLANTA. Dec. 31.—The new|
new state department of revenues!
is ready to begin functioning Tues-j
day, although the six field deputies
authorized by the act creating the
department have not yet been de
cided upon. Commissioner John M.
Vandiver announces. The appoint
ments probabiy will be announced
early in the week Mr. .Vandiver
stated.
Inasmuch as the law provides
that the new tax goes into effect on
Tuesday, January 1, and as the
stamps will not be delivered by the
printer before Monday, it will be
impossible to begin delivery of them
until Wednesday, the day after the
New Year holiday. Dealers are
therefore asked to keep a record
of their cigar and cigarette saies
. made during the day or two under
1 which the tax is due but before they
can secure, their supply of stamps,
,jand then cancel the requisite num
| ber of stamps when they receive |
- theni. Each stamp must he cancell-i
Jed by the initial, or mark, of the
| dealer, and the date of the sale it
• represents. ’ j
| The department plans to distrib
j ute the new tobacco tax stamp ■
,' through the various banks in Geor |
.! gia that have befen designated as'
. state depositories. This is in order i
Ito put dealers to as little inconven-j
| ien.-e as possible. “It would be a
i great inconvenience to the dealers, ■
J if they were required to send to At-1
! lanta for the stamps, and at the I
i same time, would pile an immense 1
amount of work on* the new depart-!
I ment” Mr. Vandiver stated. “I am
I sure the banks that have been des-1
, ignated as state depositories will be
~ | willing to handle the stamps for the
I slate without charge, both for the
i sake of the old soldiers who get the
] 'proceeds of the;tax and for the con
venience of the dealers, who are
- the bank’s clients.”
! It will be optional with dealdt--
I whether- they add the estate tax to
f, file- price of the cigars and cigar-
| ettes. Some have said that they
s | would add ’the amount, and some
y j have said that they would now
i i Many dealers welcome the new

(j [ cupational tax of $25 per year on

a ■ The new law requires dealers to
stamps representing ten per
i cent of the sale price upon each
,f ' package of cigarettes and upon each
. box, package, or other container of
s. | cigars, and to cancel the stamps
I before a sale is made. Wlere cig
