OBJECTIONSkTO NEW LAW
Proposed Amendment to Liquor Regula-
lations Regarded as Defective.
VIII Not Stop Sunday Sales of beer
Views of an Attorney
and sOthers.

Considerable dissatisfaction Is being man.
ifested In some quarters over the proposed
amendment to the Aquor law recently rec
commended to Congress by the District
Commissioners. The proposed amendment
relates to the sale of beer on Sundays at
the breweries, about which so much COM
paint has been made, as heretofore pup
lished in The Star. 1t reads as follows:
That It shall be unlawful for any maker,
brewer, or distiller of beers or other in
toxicating liquors in the District of Column
bia, or the agent or servant of such maker,
brewer, or distiller, or the agent or servant
of any maker, brewer, or distiller OF intoxi-
eating liquors outside of said District, to
sell deliver any intoxicating liquor In
the District of Columbia on the first day of
the week. commonly called Sunday, unless
its sale Is for shipment for some point on
that day outside the District of Columbia
Difficulty in Prosecuting.
Under the provisions of this proposed sec
ton, said member of the bar to a. Star
reporter, the evils intended to be remedied
would not be affected very much The
reading of the section, he thought, was
such that considerable difficulty would be
encountered in court in prosecution. 1t
was his idea that successful prosecuuons
under the section as 1t now READS WOuld
be very few. In the first place. he said,
sales at the breweries can be made on Sun
days IL the beer is for shipment 10 some
place outside the District. This. the attor-
ney suggested leaves big loophole for
the dealer, and does not prevent the sale
and delivery of beer Sunday morning to
excursion parties.
While being opposed to the sale of liquor
on Sundays under any circumstances, the
attorney regarded the provisions or the
proposed amendment unjust to the re-
tail dealers These latter dealers ne SAID,
pay heavy license tax, and certainly the
brewers should be given no advantage over
them.
The police are also interested in this
matter. The adoption of a law which Will
prohibit the sale and delivery of kegs of
beer on Sundays, they say, will greatly re-
duce drunkenness and decrease the number
of Sunday arrests Judge Kimball, as
stated in yesterdays Star, imposed $50
fines on representatives OF local clubs
charged with infractions Of the law. The
clubs raided in Southeast Washington Sun
day mig e., the police say, are only two of
many such, During hot weather crowds of
persons get kegs of beer from the brew
cries for Sunday consumption and go off
in the country. At night many of them
return In an intoxicated condition and
some of them get arrested.
A Favorite Resort.
The flats near the foot of 22d street are
a fayorite place for scores of beer drink
ers every Sunday during warm weather,
the police say, and many fights have taken
place there.
The officers hope that Congress will pass
a measure which will stop the sale and de-
livery Of beer on Sundays, whether the
points or is to be consumed within the
District limits.
