that scripture which teaches that If
your brother strike you on one cheek,
you should turn the other also and en-.

this fact. and after the lesson the SUI

SALE OF LIQUOR ON BOATS.
Prosecutions to Decide Questio
Within District Waters.

Prosecutions are soon to be brought in
the Police Court against two owners of
local excursion steamers on charges Of
selling liquor on their boats within the
District without license
The cases are to be friendly, to have the
courts outline the authority Of the excise
board to grant licenses to bars on steam
boats, and to determine whether or not
if the steamboats, cannot get licenses from
the excise board, they can sell liquor
within District waters.
The matter was first brought up by
James l.. Pugh. assistant corporation
counsel at the Police Court. He instruct
ed the harbor master to procure evidence.
if possible, that the excursion steamers
running out of Washington are selling
liquor without licenses while within Dis
trict waters. An appeal was made to
Commissioner West, and he asked the
corporation counsel for an opinion as to
whether prosecutions could be brought
against steamboat lines.
Some misrepresentation seems to exist
as to the effect Of the decision rendered
by the corporation counsel July 20. 1908. +"
says Corporation Counsel Thomas. The
question submitted in that case was
whether jurisdiction was conferred by
law on the excise board to grant a re-
tail liquor license to the steamer River
Queen while plying on the Potomac river,
and that question was answered in the
negative, because 1t was held that no
authority was conferred on the excise
board to grant such license. The ques-
ton whether intoxicating liquor can be
sold on boats plying within this jurisdic-
ton on the Potomac river is an entirely
different one.
THE sale of liquor at retail or other
wise is not permitted without a license.
and the fact that the party is unable to
procure a license is no defense. For ex-
ample. no license can be granted to sell
liquor within a mile of the Soldiers
Home, but this does not give person
this area because he cannot procure a
license. Other examples may be cited,
but citation is not deemed necessary.
1T was decided in the case represented
by Mr.. Brown and later by Ralston &
Siddons last summer that the owners of
these vessels would be prosecuted If they
sold liquor thereon in this jurisdiction"
