STAFF Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
DovER Del, March 81 "A surprise
was given the Senate to day during the
aftsxaoon session by the killing Of the
liquor law amendments Senator Ross,
chairman Of the committee on printing.
10 whom was referred the License Law
Amendment bill, reported the bill favor
ably and called it up for passage This
bill provided that intoxicating LIQUORS
could be bought at hotels and carried off
the premises in less quantities than one
quart. When II was first introduced IL
further provided that the screens should
be replaced in the saloon windows This
featgre, however, was stricken out by
the committee
Senator Pilling at once took the floor
In opposition, and bad the law Of two
years ago read in order to ascertain the
scope Of the proposed amendment. he
then attacked lt very hercely, IS did
s nstaF McMullin.
Senator Donahoe explained how the
present law came TO be on the statute
books he said that the law as Ii reads
is not the law that was passed which
WIS House bill No 397 last session he
exhibited that bill and showed where IL
had been mutilaied and the sections
numerically SO iit in the places of other |
sections that had been distracted, after
II had passed the Senate and gons to the /
enrolling rooms He snid he claimed, /
and stood ready TO prove that two 1
amended sections that he had added to
the bill had been torn from it. One /
OF those amendments was that the taking
down of the screens should not apply to
licensed saloons or hotels as the only
question then was the prescription
screens in drug stores. Another was
that druggists who desired TO sell lqnor
other than by prescription should BE-
amenahle TO the hotel license la vs. and 90
through all the forms they provided, and
should pay the same amount of license.
namely $500 II located In Wilmington
and 5000 in other parts Of the state. The
etf-ca Of this being missed from the bill
makes the license only $25 for druggists
the same as before
