Perhaps some of the readers of
The Press may think that il has
''gone Off on the Prohibition
question. To such we wish to re-
ply that we are not ''perspiring"
any more on that question than we
are on the money question, which
we purpose discussing also as our
limited time and space permits us.
The only apology, or excuse, we
need to make is that the Presiden-
tial campaign of 1904 cometh
apace, and we don't like to see
our readers left entirely to the
harangnes of the stump orators
who speak for their party instead
of discussing public questions
from the standpoint OF the labor
ing man.

POILLON'S SCHEME FAILA
Court Rules Against His Plan to Beat His
wife Out or Her Divorce.


The efforts OF John j. II. Poillon to de-
prive his wife. Frederick NJ. Poillon, OF
her inchoate dover right in his real estat
by organizing the Liberty Realty Com
pany, of which he owns 89S out OF 1000
shares, mort gaging his property to 1t and
then allowing the company to forecloee
the mortgages and sell the property, re-
ceived a check yesterday through deci-
sion rendered by Supreme Court Justice
Greenbaum.
Mrs. Poillon, whose matrimonial diff
ferences with her husband have been In
the courts several times, brought suit TO
establish her dover right in a piece OF
property at $40 Amsterdam avenue, now
owned by Mrs Bertha Tim. Poillon mort
gagged it to the Liberty Realty Company,
Mrs. Poillon asserting. She now says
that she did not then perceive the scheme
her husband had in mind.
Justice Greenbaum says that although
was admittedly lawful, yet IF the de-
liberate purpose Of these apparently legal
acts was to deprive the wife Of her dover
rights in certain property and at the same
time enable the husband to retain full con-
troll and benefit Of the ident ical property.
II may then be said that legal forms may
be successfully used TO accomplish un-
lawful results. The law will not sanction
methods expressly. devised to defeat its
salutary purposes.
Justice Greenbaum concludes that the
foreclosure proceedings must be treated
as a fraud upon Mrs Poillon and set aside
until her rights in the property have been
determined.
Mrs. Poillon once got a decree OF divorce
from her husband, but 1t was set aside by
the Appellate Division.

AMENDMENTS TO EXCISE Law
One Lets Druggists Sell Liquor BY Anixing
lO-Cent Stamp to Each o ounces.

Al BANY, April 1a.-State Excise Com
missioner Cullinan to-day announced that
he recommends the enactment Of q stamp
tax Of 10 cents upon druggists' sales OF
liquor. He will have an amendment TO this
effect made to the bill he prepared, and
which Is now pending. providing amend
ments to the Liquor Tax law. Of an admins
trative character only.
The amendment will be to section II.
which will authorize duly licensed pharma-
cists holding a certificate under subdivision
Of that section to sell liquor in quantities
not to exceed eight ounces. and only one
sale to be made to the same person on any
day without a physician prescription
upon payment OF a special stamp tax OF
~ cents upon each eight ounces or fraction
thereof The stamp is to be prepared by
the Commissioner and sold In suitable
quantities to each pharmacist upon appli-
cation. one stamp to be attached to each
bottle and cancelled at the time OF sale,
and register to be kept Of each sale, giving
residence. and the kind and quantity OF
liquors purchased.
This will enable the pharmacists to supply
the limited legitimate demand OF their
customers who need liquors for medical
purposes, but who do not desire to go to a
regular liquor store or saloon for that pur-
pose, without the trouble or expense OF
obtaining a physicians prescription, which
Is not required in any case Of saloon store
keepers
An amendment will also be prepared to
section IS, which will limit the amount
of penalty in a liquor tax bond to the amount
plus one-half OF the tax paid, which would
limit the bond in New York, where the
increased tax is 81 200, to 81 500 penalty
instead of 81, 400. according to the amend
ment already passed at this session of the
Legislature The amendment will also
provide that the penalty Of all bonds pre-
sented for certificates since April 2, 1908
the date when the increased tax amend.
ment was approved by the Governor. shall
abate proportionately.
An amendment to section "a will author
ize the court, upon conviction for a single
sale OF liquors without a certificate. to
impose a minimum fine Of one-half the
tax for lawful traffic at the place for one
year, which will operate to authorize a
fine in New York Of 5000 instead OF 81 200
according to the law as amended, and in
stead OF $500, which was the minimum
fine In a case OF this kind, required under
the Liquor Tax law prior to the recent
amendment.
