The Supreme Court had reversed the conviction on the ground that the recorder who sentenced Rodgers was without Jurisdiction.

An interesting feature of the Error Court's decision Is the fact that it disagrees with the contention that to drive au automobile while under the influence of liquor Is not a public or common nuisance, lndicatable at common law unless there is Incon ON A "BONE DRY" PLATFORM IN 1920 Chicago, Nov. 21.
