CHANGES IN EXCISE LAWS
Druggists Certificates and State
Licenses in Dancer.

Albany, June -Four important changes in
lative bills which became laws this afternoon
of the new laws initiate against druggists. and
were vigorously opposed by their State and
local organizations. both before the legislature
and the Governor. The most important
jeopardizes not only the druggists liquor tax
certificate but also his State license to do bust
ness pharmacist for it provides that when
liquor tax certificate of a licensed drug
gist or pharmacist is cancelled such person
shall. in addition to the other penalties pre-
scrbed by this act, forfeit the use of his license
as such druggist or pharmacist for the term of
one year. and be deprived of all rights and privi
leges Hereunder during such period" The other
bill repeats the act of 1903. which establishes a
special tax stamp. which permitted druggists to
sell, in quantities of a pint or less, without
physicians prescription. The former bill also
provides for the revocation of license If the
holder or any of his employees be convicted of
any felony whatever, or of keeping disorderly
house.
Another new law in effect requires a State
liquor tax certificate for any traffic which I'M
der the rulings and decisions of the United
States Internal Revenue Department requires
the payment Of a retail liquor dealers or retail
malt liquor dealers special United States in
ternal revenue tax" or likewise for any place
where such United States tax stamp is main
tanned posted.
The Governor signed also Senator Lewis's bill
requiring the filing Of new consents for the
sale of liquor in any premises where GER
tifcate has been revoked for violation, and for
bids the issue of a new license for period Of
one year to such premises while they occu-
pied by the holder of the forfeited certificate.

SPECIAL SESSION CALL.
Senator Thinks Date VAL Be June
2O-To Last Thirty Days.

Senator George r. MaIby chairman of the FL
nance Committee of the upper house of the State
legislature says that he is in favor of postponing
the special session for the investigation OF the
charges against Justice Hooker until the first of
year. He said. however. after talking with
the Governor yesterday. that the Governor would
call the special session for about June DO He said
in part:
think the session will last fully thirty days It
strikes that the Governor would do well to say
that the charges against Mr.. Hooker did not war
rant special session.
l think that there is doubt about the Gov
ernor's signing the Mortgage Tax bill the bills
for increasing the State Railroad Commission and
the State Commission of Gas and Electricity. 1t
is doubtful If he will recommend the taking up
again of the proposition reduce the price OF gas
in this city. We did best to pass that BILL and
if we could do after months of hard work l
do not think would be able to pass it at the
special session 1t strikes that if the Governor
Old incorporate il IN his call for the special
session certain would find that the condition

be outside the province OF the legislature. Super
intendent Hendricks has made an inquiry. and
