Fifth Regiments.
CAMP WINANs, Aug. 20-Sheriff Nc
CaDe of Kingston county, a deputy
sheriff. and Prosecuting Attorney Dem
ris Shields OF the same county, are in
camp today IN consultation with Quar-
termaster General Moods and Colonel
Suckert regarding the sale Of liquor al
the canteens.
Ever since camp opened there have
been five saloons running, one IA the
quarters Of each regiment. Last yesr
was the first of the csBteen rystem IA
the Michigan state troops. and on that
occasion the state officers nearly fell IA
a trap which they had set for them
selves, not having taken out license.
| This year, however, Colonel Suckert
has ''tumbled 10 hls lOlF aud taken
out one license, and u running i've
canteens. He told reporter for TTE
| HERALD yesterday that the camp
ground was 10 be considered as one
great room and the canteens a. five
different tables where refreshments
were served. Ii is well known that
the canteens have SOLD hquor 70 out
siders as well as the members of the
militia, and minors can procure the
amber fiuid which produces Intoxica-
| the supposed age OF discretion. Ger
tain II Is that over half the drunken
ness has been with boys who have not
attained their majority, and Il is no un-
usual thing for two or three boys not
over IS years 10 be beastly intoKlcated.
A Detroit newsboy, not over l6 years
old, has been fired from camp for being
drunk. lie WAS bordering on delrium
| tremens, and had secured LIQUOR at the
canteens.
Didn't DO Anything.
The sheriff and his deputy and the
prosecutor departed for home without
dong anything regarding the matter.
and II is probable the matter Will be
| dropped. Colonel Suckert told the re-
porter Yesterday that i was not within
| the province Of tie sheriff. and besides
/ the law had not been violated. IN mis-
| opiniCn, although ne acknowledged
| that be was not acquainted with the
! law. The canteeus will be closed TODAY
and no liquor viii be allowed iu camp.
