KNIGHTS Of PYTHlAS WILL
BAR LIQUOR DEALERS

New Orleans, Oct Pa sweeping anti
liquor statute was passed yesterday by
the supreme lodge knights OF Pythias. II
is expected to bar from admission to the
order wholesale liquor dealers and hotel
keepers who run bars in connection with
their hotels. With the exception Of these
two classes. all other liquor dealers were
excluded by the old statute. which was
superseded yesterday.
The new statute included professional
gamblers, saloon keepers bartenders or
dealers i'm spirituous, vinous or malt lq-
uors." The most important changes In
the new reading are the substitution Of
the word dealers" where formerly re
tail dealers" stood and the dropping of
the cluases "bona fde hotel keepers"
which the old law specifically mentioned
as eligible The new statute does not af-
feet any who are already members Of the
order

virtue of the control Of 81 per cent OF
the stock was keeping the factory
closed and seemingly preventing it's use
in any way, In apparent restraint Of
