DOORSTEP BEER DRINKING
SURE TO BRING A FINE
Edward Mccormick Convicted
for Supping Draft in View
of the Public.

A man cannot sit on his doorstep in
view of passers-by on the street, and
drink beer or liquor Of any kind without
violating the new excise law.
This ruling was made today in Police
Court by Judge Mullowny in the case of
Edward Mccormick, an employe Of a
brewing company. who was arrested yes
terday for sitting on platform which
projected beyond the building line and
enjoying a quart Of beer with his lunch.
Mccormick was fined $40.
Judge Mullowny's view of this section
Of the new excise law, which is aimed at
the prohibition of drinking on streets.
in alleys or any public place. reverses a
decision made by Judge Pugh early In
July, a few days after the law went into
effect In that case Policeman Brashears
had arrested a man who was sitting on
his own doorstep drinking, the judge hold
ing that the doorstep was not a public
place.
Custom of Twenty Years.
Policeman j. c. Frederick arrested Nc
Cormick. 1t was testified that employees
Of the brewery had been in the habit Of
eating their lunch and drinking beer on
this platform, from which wagons are
loaded, for more than twenty years.
Attorney Albert l.. Sillers, who repre-
scented Mccormick brought this out as
an extenuating circumstance. Judge
Mullowny remarked that 1t had also
been the custom for men in Washington
to get drunk for a good many more
than twenty years, but that the new
law made arrests in both cases the duty
of the police.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Malcolm
Varnell argued that. as the platform was
beyond the building line the place in
which the beer was consumed was
public place.
Mr. Sillers then cited Judge Pugh's
opinion in the case of the man sitting
on his doorstep II cannot believe that
II was the intention of any of the legis-
lators who passed this law to prohibit
this sort of drinking. 1t was aimed. [
think. at the disgusting sight of drunken
man drinking from bottles on the streets
or in public buildings.
IF Judge Pugh ruled that a man was
not violating the law in drinking on his
steps. in plain sight of the people passing
nv on the street." Judge Mullowny said.
!.then I will have to reverse his decision
This law, in my opinion, was aimed at
preventing exactly what this man was
doing, that is, drinking where people on
the streets would have to witness it,

years, and that she had sold her in
terest to a Mr.. Alling of Chicago for
$500, and advised Mrs. Lonersan to sell

the sisters share and had made mis-

she had executed the agreement which
she now wishes to rescind. She offers
to pay back the $1,000 received and to
return the note to her sister. She also
discovered, she alleges. that her sister
and not a man in Virginia was the pur-
chaser of her share of the estate.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
Plan to Tax Nom Resident Chill
dren in Public Schools.
FIRE MENACES DRUG HOUSE
Only Timely Discovery Prevents
What Probably Would Have Been

Special Correspondence Of The Star.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, September >, 1913.
Notice was served at a meeting Of the
city school board last night by one Of its
members that at the next meeting of the
resembling the ruling made some time
ago TO permit nonresident children to
enter the public schools of the city re-
gardess of whether their parents owned
property here. or regardless of whether
the children We're supposed to be under
the care of guardian here
1t was also announced that the entrance
fee of $50 a year for nonresident chill
dren would be reduced.
This precipitated considerable discus
sion. 1t appears that many children liv-
ing beyond the confines of the city. whose
parents have purchased homes IN sub
urban places, are now enjoying the bene-
fits of the public schools in Alexandria.
There are, however, a number of chill
dren living short distance from the cor
porate limits of the city attending. Their
tuition is paid the city by the respective
counties in which they reside. lnasmuch
as the Alexandria schools are in closer
proximity than the schools of their
county, this is usually done in such cases.
Considerable business of a routine ma
ture was also disposed of. 1t was an
nounced that everything is now in readi-
ness for the reopening of the schools
Monday, and that there will be an in
creased attendance over that OF iaSt
year of more than a hundred.

tain their wishes as to being represented
at the funeral. Owing to the fact that
many members of the society are out of

In communicating with them in time, he
thought 1t possible that the society would
not be represented at the funeral.

fire occurred shortly after 3 o'clock this
morning in the packing department of
the wholesale drug store of E. S. Lead

The fire started in some trash which
