Brokers Can't Sell Liquor.

Raleigh, SpeciaI.-Judge Thomas r.
PurneIl in the Federal Court here
created a considerable sensation by
charging the grand jury that it would
be their duty to return true bills
for selling liquor without license
against any parties in Raleigh who re-
ceived samples OF whiskey from distil-
lers or wholesalers elsewhere and sold
by these samples to the Raleigh dis
pensary or private individuals. 1t is
known that a number Of brokers and
others have sold to the dispensary and
others in this way. The judge de-
clared that this practice was more
reprehensible than the "blind tiger
vender who slipped around the corner
and sold whiskey by the pint.

A number of the members. who
were arrested by the sergeant-at-

night, were still in a savage mood
when the house convened and they had
personal reasons to assign why they
were absent on roll call.
Throughout the whole of the ses-
sion which was precipitated by the
motion to approve the journal, the
speaker of the house sat almost inn
movable, now and then indnlsing In
quiet chnekfe over the discomfort
of his friends.
When his right to direct the issu-
snce of the writ Of arrest was at
tackled, the speaker following an ex-
position of the rules, terminated fur
Their argument by asserting that "the
| gentleman had been legally arrested. "
The rules of the house, as to the
presence of members, were brought
home to the members and during the
rest of the day, while the house had
under consideration the diplomatic

After completing most of the bill
