Mr.. OARNEILLE OPPOSES
AMENDING EXCISE LAW
Thinks Placing of Responsibility for
Selling Liquor to Minors Should Be
Sought Another Way.

The Tax Assessor of the District, H
II. Darneille, yesterday afternoon made
objections to the bill drafted by Cor
poration Counsel Duvall. relative to the
sale of Intoxicating liquors to minors.
The Corporation Counsel recommended
that the word knowingly" be stricken
from the law. so that 1t would affect
the sale of liquors to minors. whether
the seller knew the age of the pIr-
chaser or not. In other words. & was
intended to place the responsibility of
knowing whether the customer was Of
age or not upon the liquor dealer.
Mr. Darneille says he does not think
IL wise to open this subject for general
discussion at the present time by at
tempting to radically amend the excise
law. AS chairman of the Excise Board
he adds that the present law on the
subject has withstOod the tects of the
courts, but ADDS that it might be well
to insert, as a rider in some pending
hill, Il proviso of the same nature as
Mr.. Duvall's requirement. This" he
adds. would remedy the defect in tr
existing law. which as construed by the
Court of Appeals, makes knowledge of
minority before sale a condition Urece-
dent TO conviction for selling liquors 10
minors"

QUESTION OF PAYING
FOR ELEVEN PIANOS
Auditor Garrison in Doubt as to Which
Appropriation the Cost of Instru-
ments Should Be Charged.

Another interesting chapter in the con-
trovefsy over the purchasing of eleven
planes for use in the public schools was
unfoided yesterday afternoon when
Commissioner West approved a recon-
incubation made by District Auditor
Garrison. that the Comptroller of the
Treasury be requested to determine
whether the instruments can be paid for
cut of the appropriations for kinder
gartens. OF IL the special appropriation
for school building pianos is the prop
er charge.
The pianos were recently contracted
for at $225 each. and are TO be used as
building instruments, that is, for use by
all grades In a particular school build
ing for marching. drill. and other pur-
poses. Prior to the letting of this con-
tract four pianos were purchased for
kindergartens, at $3.50 each.
Mr.. Garrison thinks that Congress in
tended, when 1t made this special ap-
preparation of $500 for pianos in
buildings not now supplied" that all
pianos bought. for whatsoever purpose.
should be charged to this appropriation.
In the Comptroller upholds the District
Auditor. the amount paid for the four
kindergarten pianos. $500. must be de-
Quoted from the $500 appropriation.
leaving only 1880, or enough money for
eight pianos. instead Of eleven, which
the contract calls for.
Should the Comptroller hold that a
piano is a necessary part of the equip
ment Of q kindergarten, the cost OF
these four pianos can be charged to the
kindergarten appropriation, 5000, and
the entire eleven pianos purchased FOR
building purposes out of the $3.50 APP
