OF q movement Just got under way which will
como before the courts some time this week.
The brandy bottle is accused Of lying and. by
counterfeit signs, Of causing mon to drink poi
son. Lawyer Thomas @. Fennell, acting for tho
Liquor Dealers' Association. has started the re-
forming movement, partly to protect respecta-
BILE liquor dealers. and partly from a philan-
thropic desire to lower the city's death rate.
Mr.. Fennell has found that the proprietors Of
so-called "dead.houses," or "morgues," az
saloons where all liquors are sold for 8 cents q
poison as imported brandy. On bottles contain
ing the stun are labels counterfeiting those Of
standard brands. The alleged brandy is sold for
inc article 10 So a quart.
Mr.. Fennell has bought twenty samples Of this
stun at so many different places and Is to have
them analysed for the court proceedings. He
said he did not think a man could drink such
liquid for Il week and live. lie thought 1t was
made up OF a cheap sort OF alcohol. fusel oil,

Mr.. Fenncll said that there was a large sale OF
this adulterated stuff on account OF Its apparent
