GETTING AHEAD OF THE ORIGINAL
PACKAGE,

Interested Is CnaC lOr llmlClnS tue IN
terstate commerce law by giving the {
states power to Gpply their excise 5
laws to liquor imported from other
states, whether in original packages
or not. 1t IS known as the Hepburn
Dolliver bill, and is now being con.
sidorod by the Judiciary Committee
of tho House. That committee is
having an interesting tine with it.
The Prohibitionists are out i'll force
and so are the liquor men. There
have been some stirring scenes in the
committee room, appeals to patriot
ism aud all Of that 1t seems that
thus far the Germans are the strong
est opponents of the bill. The rea
son probably is that if it should be.
come law 1T would pretty ef1ectu1ly
cut of their supplies Of beer in many |
ports of the country, at least their
fuvorite brands Of that beverage.
1t will be recalled that tho Su
premo court of the United States de
cided some time ago that liquors in
original packages could he transport
ed INTO prohibition states. This
practically nulliied the prohibition
laws in those states. At least it Ell

states to get all the whiskey, wine
and beer they wanted, uotwithstand.
ing the laws against the sale of in
toxicants
The purpose of the pending bill Is
to enable the states to stop liquors in
original packages from crossing their
borders if they have laws prohibiting
the sale of intoxicants; in other words
if they are prohibition states. OF
course, the opposition to the bill is
very strong, and the chances are
against its passage. The liquor SON
timent is stronger than the prohibi
ton sentiment. 1t is probable that
congress will be found to be on the
: side of the most votes.
The way to beat the liquor business
is to educate the people against the
use Of intoXicants. 1t Is doubtful if
the use of alcoholic beverages can be
prevented by law. Those who want
whiskeY will find a way to get it,
} 1t is pretty safe statement that
there is much less drinking now than
there was half II century ago. Even
the use of wine isn't SO common as it
was within the memory of the pres.
ent generation. The se"as' fror

Stories of GeOrQians.

Representative Griggs of Georgia
is a racounteur who doesn't mind toll

W ashington Post.
"When | was prosecuting attorney

the other day, can old fellow, not of
much account, but great friend of
mine, was indicted for larceny. He
came to see me and protested, but l
told him must do my duty to the
State.
"Well, the case came to trial and
jim had no counsel. The Judge
looked at him severely, over his spec

LACK Conf DENCE
IN THE STEWARDS
Fail to Investigate Queer
Riding.
JOCKEYS ARE INDIFFERENT
Business in Betting Ring Reduced so
Per Cent in Two Months.-CIub-
house Is in Bad OdOr.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-There is great
need at present Of reform in local turf
affairs Scarcely a day passes without
complaints Of all sorts from owners.
trainers. and turf followers that the
stewards of the various meetings and of
the Jockey Club are too superficial in
their supervision Of the sport
That the complaints have a good foun-
dalton is the opinion Of those familiar
with the racing situation for the past
two months. Jockeys ride as they please.
tndfnerently or vigorously, as their hu-
NOR or other controlling interests seem
to dictate.
Horses beat one another with startling
changes in form" until there is not
enough left of that condition Of racing
TO tack together that the word conf
dence' may be pinned on It. This con
diton has developed steadily for the
past two months.
The first dissatisfaction among race
goers was manifested at the Saratoga
meeting. and it has steadily increased
until now mutterings OF discomfort have
given place to loud remarks. sometimes
more forcible than elegant which are
hurled at certain jockeys. The sum
and substance Of all these sentences is
fraud -
What eNasperates the racegoer par
ticularly is the Indifference Of the racing
stewards and other officials to the ac-
lions OF the riders. Crack jockeys who
know how to handle horses well and are
paid big salaries because they can do
so are permitted to sit in their saddles
Ike craven images without making a
move on their mounts at any stage OF
the race. and yet no officiol cognizance
Is taken Of their work.
Disafection Widespread.
The Generalization Of the turf fabric
is not IN spots. among the owners
trainers. and pIungers, but throughout
the whole construction Of the sport IN
the betting ring. the pulse Of the game
men sit discontentedly and see their
business slipping away from them daily

Lack OF conhdence"'-that is the cry

the bookmakers in extending credit 20

was seen Saturday. when F. Mason re-

agent Of a man who is well known:

right by another bool1maker. who heard
the bet placed. 1t was simply a lack
of confidence in the clubhouse set, "

GRANT VICTOR
OVER REIN[KE
Won Lightweight Cham

LOCAL MAN HAD IT EASY
Gained First Fall in Fifteen Minutes
and Second in Nine-Good
PreliminaTies.

Joe Grant, the Washington wrestler.
had an easy time last night throwing
Charles Reineke. Of Richmond, twice
at the Washington Light Infantry
Armory before the Turner Athletic Club,
for the lightweight championship Of the
South.
The match was rather one-sided. for 1t
was apparent after the men had been on
the mat two minutes that Grant was
the better and stronger man. He ap-
peared heavier than his opponent, and
mad a better knowledge and control Of
the holds. Reineke was able to wriggle
out Of many tight places by clever turn
ing and some spinning, but he was not
able TO break away by sheer strength at
any stage OF the game, and II was only
a question OF Grant getting the proper
grip.
The first fan required fifteen minutes.
and furnished the most interesting OF
the match. Reineke bridged several
times, and managed to slip out Of dan
ger. but the constant aggressive work or
Grant told on his strength. and finally
his last bridge broke down
Clever Turning.
The second round was fun Of clever
and rapid turning by both men, Reineke
managed to get on top twice, but could
do nothing in the way OF offensive
work, and soon went 10 the mat I'D

with a full Nelson. II was thought by
many that Grant gained the fall in six
minutes. but Referee =. 2. O'COnnor was

Captain Torrey. OF Pennsylvania. is
said to be so far from varsity caIiber
that he win ask to resign. and give

Cornell and MILDLY crews who were
dropped out Of their boats this spring.
From tho reports from the various
scenes Of hostilities II would seem that
there are going to be some Western
