His body had not been recovered at an

help Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald saw that the
would-be suicide had climbed W the lat

Fitzgerald kept his eye constantly on
the man as he himself climbed down the
ladder. and did not see Putnam avenue

WANlLIQUOR LAWSENFORCED
Members of Model License League
Would COunteract Prejudice.
willing to Work with AntI-SaIoOn
mcnt Observed by Dealers.

New York, Jan. f0.-President T. NJ. Gil
more. OF the Model License League. Of
Louisville, by. an organization which
claims a membership of over 300 brewing
and distilling firms, met representatives
of the local wholesale and retail liquor
dealers to-day at the Waldorf-Astoria
aud set before them the leagues plan for
combating the prohibition movement Of
the ant-saIoon leagues and other pro-
hibition organizations There were be-
tween thirty and forty local wholesale
firms represented at the meeting No
definite action was taken. but Mr. Gil
more's plan was well received.
The main purpose Of the Model License
League, explained by its president, Is TO
counteract prejudice against the sale of
liquors through an eXacting enforcement
of the laws affecting their sale. To do
this the league proposes to secure Tegis-
iation that will make a liquor license
such valuable property and so easily for
feitable for a breach Of the law that the
retailers will keep the letter of the law
IN their own interest.
Another effort of the Model License
League viii be 70 have laws passed pro-
hibiting more than one saloon for every
500 inhabitants Of a town or city. This.
Mr.. Gilmore pointed out, would prevent
Louisville. KY, from having an addition
to its saloons until 1t had doubled its
present population.
1T IS the aim of the league" said Mr..
Gilmore. ITO observe the law and to bow
to public sentiment If il is the wish
of the majority in any community that
no liquors shall be sold We believe it is
to the interest of the liquor dealers to
observe the law and withdraw from such
communities or States. However. we
want the anti-saloOn people 10 be logical
and wherever laws prohibiting the sale Of
liquors are passed we shall endeavor to
have them amended by a clause prohib-
iting also the use of liquors"
The movement which Mr.. Gilmore rep
resents has not as yet received much
support in the East, but in the Middle
States a large number Of dealers and
manufacturers have Joined the league.
Ali the large brewers Of Milwaukee and
st. Louis have joined the movement and
a few days ago the brewers Of Indiana
Joined IN a body.
