BEER BY THE FRUIT JAR
!NSTEAD0F THE GROWLER
Contended That Such Sale
Would Be of the "0rig-
inaI Package"

1t is possible that beer will be sold in
the excise boards action in abolishing the
"grOwler'' trade or sale of the beverage
in buckets and pitchers. The regulation.
which is to go into effect January l. pro-
vides that beer may be sold only in origi-
nal packages. The excise board has been
informed that several saloonkeepers are
preparing to lay in a supply of fruit jars
on the theory that the dispensing Of malt
liquor in receptacles of this kind that
have been sealed would not be in viola
tion Of the ordinance
Should the plan be adopted generally
by saloonkeepers and upheld by the excise
board the claim that the "growler" order
works hardship upon the poor man
would be eliminated. it is pointed out. as
beer could be obtained in sealed jars in
the same quantity and at the same price
as that now sold in buckets.
Although the excise board has given
no intimation Of what would be its ruling
In such case, it is believed by those
who have investigated the question that
sealed jar containing beer would come
within the meaning of the original pack
age clause. 1t. is stated by officials of
the board that. since the announcement
VI lIie pIopoSeu GROWER order, addi-
tional Investigations have convinced
them that fully 80 per cent of the saloon
men favor the prohibition.
The objection to it comes from the con-
sumer who has made practice of buying
beer. In buckets or pitchers and drinking
it at home with his family. Claims have
been made before the board that the or
der is a discrimination against the poor
man. 1t is expected that. Immediately
following the going into effect of the reg
ulation. the excise officials will be called
upon to render a decision defining Gear
ly an original package within the mean
ing of the regulation.

TRENTON, y. j. December 11.-W ood-

today in fighting spirit and issued a
warning to the voters of the state against
politicians who have opposed his progress
siTHe policies. and who, lie said, would
again seek to control the state govern
ment as soon he stepped from the gov
ernorship. He urged that their plans be
blocked at once.
Il have been surprised he says, in
his statement, "hy the numerous in
quiries as to whether I would continue
to take interest in the political affairs of
the state after assuming my duties as
President, and yet 1 realize the signifi-
oance of these inquiries. Last summer
warned the voters OF the state very ex-
plicitly that the men who formerly con-
trolled and discredited our politics were
awaiting their opportunity to recover
their control and were expecting to find
1t. What 1 then said has been abundant
ly verified by what has happened in the
interval.
Alleges Little Respect for People.
Il am -keenly aware of the fact that
these men have so little respect for the
voters of New Jersey that they think all
they have to do is to wait to come back
into power. They will be sorely disap-
pointed. They cannot again impose
upon the voters of New Jersey. If they
should in some evil moment recover con-
troll OF the party machinery they will
only ruin the party and put it perma-
nently out of power. Every step they
take, therefore, to re-eStabliSh their
power should be at once exposed and
stopped
"The people of the state need not fear
that / will become Indifferent so long

lieve that they wish my aid and counsel.
Backs the New Forces.
Il shall In the future use every proper
and legitimate power 1 have and every
influence at my disposal to support
and assist the new forces which have
regenetkted our life during the past two
years. l shall not go slack in this bust
ness. for I understand my duty to be to

Question of Mediation.

In speaking today on the subject Of for
eign mediation in Balkan affairs. Stojan
NovakovItch. the head of the Servian
delegation, said:
THE choice of the United States as
mediator would be an excellent one. The
only fears in this connection are that the
distance OF the United States from the
scene and it's lack of knowledge Of the
different complex problems agitating the
Balkan peoples might hamper it's action.
while a European country would find It
self in reader condition, having for years
followed the aspirations of the different
races constituting the Balkan family
NJ Novakovitch. taking everything into
consideration, thinks the best man now
in Europe to carry out the work of me-
diation successfully would be Premier
Poincare of France, who has paid much
disinterested attention to the Balkan
troubles. If the choice of that states
man, says NJ. Novakovitch. should give
uubrage TO Germany. then an English
statesman might he added: and IL even
this should not be considered as suffi-
cient guarantee OF impartiality in the
sense that all legitimate interests would
be taken into account. not only of the
belligerents. but of the great powers. an
Italian statesman might be Joined te
them. Belonging to the triple alliance
Italy represents in that combination O,

element quite different from Germany 8
