TO TEST TREATING CLAUSE
II. G. ShurtleR Claims Tint the Present
Law Does Not Provide for Treat
ing Outside II Licensed Saloon.

Montpelier. Sept. 6.-Supreme court will
probably be called upon to decide n new
question which arose under the license
law in Montpelier City Court yesterday
Patrick TaEue, an old offender, was con-
victed of intoxication and also of fur
nishing intoxicating liquor to one Dick
Clley by giving him two drinks of al
cohol out of bottle at the rear of the
State House. Tague pleaded not guilty
but was convicted on the evidence Of w.
T. Dewey, chairman of the Montpelier
board of license commissioners, John Hill.
ianitor at the State House, and Sheriff
Docherty.
II. C. Shurtlefr, counsel for Tague, while
not denying that Cilley was given two
drinks from bottle by Tague raised
the question that the evidence Of the three
mon who convicted him tended to show
that Tague was treating" Ciley, and not
furnishing within the meaning of the
license law. Il. f. Bailey, who repre-
sented States Attorney Bailey in this
case, argued to Judge Woodward that the
license law includes a penalty for treat
ing on the inside of a bar room and on
the outside as we'll but Mr.. Shurten
urged upon the court that the anti-treat-
ing clause applies only to licensed places.
Judge Woodward overruled Mr.. Shurt-
leffs contention. adjudged Tague guilty
OF furnishing under the law as charged
in the information and sentenced him to
hard labor in the House of Correction at
Rutland for not less than three months
nor more than three months and sin days.
Mr.. Shurtlcff took an exception to the
judgment of the court and appealed the
case. Tague was unable to furnish the
$500 bail fixed by Judge Woodward and
was remanded to Jail.

termned by Sir Thomas Upton to sell the
Shamrock / and III to American yachts

in the yard of the John n. Robins COM
pany, Erie basin, 10 some scrap iron
dealer.
For n year or more those knowing the
condition of the defeated challenger of
1901 have been sure that an attempt to
launch her would never be made, and that
finally she would be consigned to the junk
pile That time has arrived and it is pos
sible that in a few days she will pass
from the hands of Sir Thomas and become
the property of some local dealer in old
iron to be broken up.
With the Shamrock III disposed Of an
effort will be made, or is now being
made, to sell the Shamrock III and the
Shamrock l to yachtsmen in America. 1t
is reported that not only does Sir Tho
mas feel disposed to accept offers for
them, but that it has been decided that
a determined effort shall be made to get
rid of them With their sale Sir Thomas
will have got rid of his racing feet, and
in the event of his ever challenging again
he will not have trial boat to tell the
story of the success or failure OF his new
vessel
