Board of Trade Committee Would
Safeguard Miuors,

Declaring that the present law against
selling liquor to minors is ineffective and
| that a bill. introduced at the last ses-
| sion of Congress, would work against
| convictions, the committee on charities
| and corrections of the Board of Trade
yesterday decided to recommend a SUBJ
stitute measure.
The substitute makes it a crime, pun
ishable with n fine Of from $25 to $500, or
thirty days imprisonment, or both, to
selk liquor to a minor, for the first Of
fense, the same penalty, with the added
weight of license revocation, to apply
for the second offense.
The proposed measure is more severe
than the present law, in that the word
knowingly" is stricken out. Under the
existing law, conviction can be obtained
only when it can be proven that the
defendant knowingly sold liquor to a
minor.
The proposed substitute allows the
saloonkeeper a second chance upon a
first conviction before his license is re-
voked.
