LAW TO TEST LOCKER SYSTEM
LEGALITY TO BE DETERMINED
OF CLUB LIQUOR SCHEME.
Excise Board Has Nothing to Do
With It, Is Opinion of
Chairman.

To determine whether or not the sale
of liquor in clubs without licenses under
the so-called locker system is a violation
of the excise law, Commissioner West an
nounced this morning that a test case
would probably be taken into the courts
soon.
Both the excise board and the police de-
partment are making an investigation of
several clubs in the city which have no
liquor licenses and which dispense liquor
by the locker system or some other
similar plan. There are several such or
CARNATIONS in the District Exact condl-
lions under which their members obtain
liquor in the clubhouses are being deter
mined.
Assessor Richards. chairman ex-officio
of the excise board. is making an investi-
cation to determine their status. He eN-
pressed the opinion this morning that, as
the clubs have not applied for liquor
licenses. the excise board has nothing to
do with them
Commissioner West explained that all
clubs providing liquor for their members
| under the locker system would be given
an opportunity to apply for licenses. If
they do not take that course. he added.
it will indicate that they fully believe they
are operating within the law and are not
required by the excise regulations to pro-
cure liquor licenses.
After these formalities have been COM
pleted, the Commissioner said. the matter
will be taken to court for a judicial deter
mination.
This investigation of the clubs operating
without licenses under the locker sys-
tenn is the result of the recent inquiry
into clubs with liquor licenses. For some
time the nineteen applications for club
licenses were held up to determine
whether or not the organizations were
bona -fide clubs.
The investigation led to the discovery
by the excise board of a class Of clubs
that provided liquor for its members
through the ''locker system" Commits
sioner West said this morning that the
evidence has been obtained for taking
the matter into the courts.
|, At the same time complaints have
| reached the police regarding club in
the city that sells liquor on check
system. 1t is said that no money is paid
| for drinks, but that the members procure
| checks. and these are exchanged for alco-
holic drinks. The excise board has been
asked whether the club has made any
application for liquor license and what
it's standing is under the boards jurisdic
ton.

DROWNED BOYS BODY HERE
YOUNG BECKMAN LOST LIFE
WHILE SKATING.
Brave Efforts Of Fellow Student at
st. Joseph's College Failed
to Save Him.

]. Paul Beckman. sixteen years of age,
who lived with his aunt. Mrs. NJ. T.
Burns. 1924 Ingleside terrace, this city.
was drowned yesterday afternoon while
skating on pond near Mount ST. Josephs
College. Baltimore. Lawrence Aman of
Hyattsville. Md, nephew of S. Aman Of
this city. who also broke through the ice,
was with Beckman when the accident oc-
CURED. Aman plunged into the icy water
and made every effort to save his chum
but was unsuccessful Other boys
rescued Aman from the water
The remains of young Beckman arrived
in Washington at noon today. accom-
panied by Rev. Brother Norbert. director
of Mount st. Joseph's College, and an as
sistant. Funeral arrangements have not
been completed. but 1t is stated the body
will be forwarded to Richmond for inter-
ment.
Shortly after 3 o'clock in the afternoon
when the boys had finished their studies
for the day, Aman and Beckman took
| their skates and went to the pond to en-
JOY themselves on the thick ice that
covered the water. Many boys and girls
from Irvington were already there, and
the two chums from college had been on
the ice but short while before the ice
broke and they were precipitated into the
water.
Young Aman was first to return to
the surface. He reached out and sue
ceeded in getting hold of the ice. Look
ing about him he saw his companion and
caught hold of him. The weight of the
two boys was SO great that the ice broke
with them. Again and again Aman en-
deavored to get a firm hold upon the
ice showing witnesses to the affair that
he was more concerned about Beckman
than about himself.
Beckman, who seemed much more ex-
cited than his companion, finally became
exhausted and went down beneath the
ice. Several brothers from the college
and firemen from the home of the Car
verton engine company responded to
call for aid and several of the students
risked their lives in the icy water to try
to reach Beckman in time to save him.
but his body was not recovered for more
than hour.
Physician labored hard to restore life,
but finally abandoned their efforts and
had the county coroner Summoned. The
| latter made an investigation and gave
certificate Of accidental death. Brother
Walter, project of the college, sent
Brothers Xavier and Peter here to in
form Mrs. Burns of the death of her
nephew.

ing incidents arising from native ignor-
ance of the powers of science. The mis-
sions, she. said. are also establishing
churches in the towns and villages, OF
