Wichita, Kausas, Feb. 20. In the district court of Sedgwick county this morning Judge D W: Dale delivered a blow to "joint' smashing in Kansas. In a deci sion rendered in the case of Mrs Carrie Nation and three other wo men, charged with malicious de struction of property, he held that buildings occupied by saloons hav j the protection of the law and can only be confiscated by order of the court. Judge Dale holds that no person has the individual right to destroy property, no mat ter to what use it is put The de cision means that Mrs. Nation and her three co-workers, who smashed two saloons in Wichita, will be tried. - ' The case was set for March 10, and it is probable that that time will see the trial if the women can be produced in court. Mrs. Nation is now in jail at Topeka and may uoi be able to ap pear.- Her bondsmen. Deacon Smith and Wilbur Jones, are try ing to get in communication with her tonight. Mrs. Nation will be tried on two charges of malicious destruction of property. The pen alty for each is six months in the county jail and $500 fine. . The decision of Judge Dale ha already had a quieting effect upon fa natics here who have been threat ening raids any time. All that remains to be proven to covict Mrs. Nation before Judge Dale is to prove that she smashed the property described, and there are l hundreds who- witnessed that affair. - .'
