tor of the Hotel Lawrence, charged By Po-
licemen Sutton and Carlson with selling

drank several glasses OF beer al Mr.. Gassen-
hsinsr's bar.
The pclieemsn stated that they interviewed
the boys after they lett the bar and diseov-
ersd that they were under the legal age. The
defendant had a long procession OF witnesses.
who testified that ns had strict rules against
selling liqusr to minors. The bartender, Nr.
Duff, stated that the boys informed him they
were over twenty-ons years Of age when he
sold them the beer.
Lawyer Maurice Smith, for the defense,
argued that ths section 81 the new liquor law
referring 10 minors was ambiguous, and in
certain places fixed the ago limit Of minors at
and below sixteen years OF age, instead OF
unisr twsnty-one years, the accspted and
legal age OF minors. He held, thsrofore, that
the defendant should not be convicted.
Referring to the sections OF tbs new law
which referred 10 Mr.. Gassenheimer's case

be mistake on his part TO allow this law to
become imperative because Of its poor con-
struction. He added that if Mr.. Smiths con-
tention that the age limit was sixteen years was

GcNernmcnf Control

a prominent official of one OF tn @

what would be the effect of the pres
cnt controversy. said:
1.-The government will 20 into tie

commerce commission. which now
stands between the transportation
~ mpanies and their customers in
regulating rates. will ultimately take
on similar relation between them
and their employees and regulate
wages and hours Of work. 4 gang

not satisfied with their pay will conf

justment of wages. just rs dissatis-
fled shippers now seek their inter-
ference in matters OF rates.
Commenting upon this statement
the Springfield. (Mass.) Republican.
which has as many stockholders
among its patrons as any paper in
the country, says:
That was what we said would have
to come Of IL all. at the beginning Of
the strike. When the federal govern
ment assumed a regulative control Of
the roads in the interests of the ship
pcrs and the public in 1887. it be-
came only matter of time when it
would also extend its control to the
body Of railway employees and stand
between them and their employers in
the adjustment OF all grievances and
disputes in regard to wages and
hours of employment. The frequent
interruptions to traffic from labor
troubles since then make il inevita-
BILE and desirable that the govern
ment shall quicken its pace in the
direction indicated.
