Brewers Are Interested in Test
Case in Maine State.
WHAT OF THE GEORGIA BRAND
Beverage Looks Like the Real Article
Near Stuff Costs as Much to Pro.
duce, So Ills Claimed.
Especial to The Free Press.l

Augusta, Ca, Jan. 6.-Nearly 2OC
dealers in percent" a brewery
product, are directly interested in the
test case of the "near- beer" tax which
somes up today. A heavy tax has
been imposed on the dealers in "near-
beer" which beverage is largely sold
in Georgia under the prohibition re.
gime, and the test case will have an
important bearing on the traffic.
The Georgia brand of near beer
looks like beer, tastes like beer, smells
like beer, is made by the breweres
and is put up in beer bottles. Yet it
is claimed that it contains less than
two per cent alcohol and therefore
does not intoxicate.
Selling "Near Beer"
Before the prohibition law went
into effect, about ninety five beer sal
oons were doing business in Augusta
whereas at the present time only
about forty-six are selling "near- beer -
1t will therefore be seen that the sale
of the latter verety is not nearly SO
extensive as the sale of real beer.
The brewers figure that man will
never take 'near.beer," no matter
how excellent its legitimate quality,
if it is possible for him to procure
the "real thing" And much of the
latter is being sold, despite the pro-
inhibition law, and despite the fact that
many people have come to derive
limited satisfaction from the use of
NEAR beer"
Breweries in other states ship real
beer to Georgia blind tigers" Geor-
gia breweries must, perforce, manu-
facture none other than 'near-beer,' y
and this product, needless to say, finds
slow sale anywhere save in localities
where the prohibition law is rigidly
enforced.
Cost of Production the Same.
Breweries in Georgia must now pro-
duce near beer" or violate the law.
Although the quality of material used
in its production is, of course inferior
to that which is used in making beer
of the real variety, the aggregate cost
of production is practically the same.
Maintenance expenses at the large
plants have not decreased, and although
"near beer" is sold for almost the
same price for higher class goods, this
increase is overbalanced by the de-
crease in extent of sales and the un.
diminished cost of production.

ARE BUILDING GLASS HOUSES
Scheme Of q Des Moines Architect
Whose Head Is Working.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. Ga remark
able discovery has been made in refer
ence to the qualities of the sand de-
pdsits along the Raccoon and Des
Moines rivers in this vicinity. 1t has
been learned by careful chemical analy
sis that the sand contains the proper
ingredients to make it good raw
material for the manufacture of build
ing glass. There are certain properties
which the river sand contains which
make it impossible to utilize it in the
manufacture of plate glass but for col
cred glass, the heavier forms of build
ing glass, glass bottles of all descrip
tions and other uses to which glass can
be commercially placed, it is thought
to be admirably adapted.
In connection with this use of the
Des Moines river and Raccoon river
sand, which is here in great abundance,
a local architect, c.. A. Eastman, has
outlined plan for the construction
of buildings of of glass. He has al
ready drawn plans for a number of such
buildings. He finds that for a little
more than the cost of cement buildings
he can build entire business blocks out
of steel and glass, insuring absolute
fire protection and give to the build
ing a finish which cannot be obtained
save in the most expensive marble and
stone structures. The recent meeting
of the American Association of Archi-
tects took up the question and consid
cred it. A paper by the Des Moines
architect heightened the discussion upon
the use of rough glass as an outside
building material.

ENTITLED TO THE BOUNTY
But Had Not Secured the Certificate
From Town Clerk.
From Mon6ov,c Daflv

A son of Matt Smith, who lives
near st. Clair, brought in the skin of
a wolf today that he shot near Rice
Lake with rifle. He was hunting
and wounded the animal, and his dog
followed it for two miles, and finally
overcame it, when it was weak from
loss of blood. The animal was a
small brush wolf. Mr.. Smith states
t1at four wolves have been seen there
in bunch recently AS he had not
obtained certificate from the town
clerk, he was obliged to return home
before he could get the bounty from
the county.
Thomas Hodson states that the
wolves are returning to his neigh
borhood, and can be heard bowling at
niglt. They had been scarce since
the last hunt.

not possibly have been any substitu-
ton and that the package found to
contain chicken bones and sausages was
the same one which was taken from a
pile of rags in Minneapolis & st.
Louis railroad box car.
Undertaken T. Connolly, who now
has charge of the package pending the
arrival of the Blue Earth sheriff, also
was inclined to doubt that substitution
of packages would have been possible.
He said both Morgue Keeper Schaffer
and John ODonnel, superintendent of
the Hennepin county poor farm, abso-
lutely identified the package opened
last week as the one found in the box
car.
Won't Be Released.
Ambrose Reif, the man held in the
county jail at Mankato charged with
the murder of an infant alleged to have
been born on the farm of Mrs. Emma
Zimmerman, widow residing near
Mankato, will not be released, as was
expected. as a result of the finding of
the chicken bones. Sheriff Donahue
said last night that there is other evil
dence against Reiff and that he will be
held to the grand jury at its session
in February.
Ref was employed as farm hand
on the farm of Mrs. Zimmerman. 1t
was neighoring gossip that he and the
widow were to be married.
Following charges of the murder of
an infant on the Zimmerman farm,
Reif was arrested on Dec. 10 and has
since been in Jail awaiting Indictment.
