Brewers Want TO
keep their SALOONS

ANNAPOLIS, March 25-There has
been some sort of row among the
brewers OF Baltimore city over the
Wilkinson bill. which provides more
drastic regulation OF the saloon busi-
ness in Baltimore city, and as a re-
suit the bill is to be amended so as
to prevent the ownership of saloons
by brewers.
The pending bill was drawn by
Robert Grain, and is said to have ema-
mated from the Gottlieb- -Bauern-
schmidt-Straus Brewing Company, of
which Albert II. Wehr is president
Want TO Keep saloons.
For about year Mr.. Wehr has
been advocating the divorcing of the
saloons from brewery ownership, and
gradually his company has been SELL
ing its saloon property. His theory is
that saloon ownership Is unfair to
both the saloOnkeeper and the brewer.
But some of the other brewers do not
take this view of the case, and at a
meeting held yesterday afternoon in
Baltimore they voiced their disap-
proval of this feature of the Wilkin-
son bill. The consequence was that
lit was agreed among them that they
would have the bill amended by strik-
ing out the Objectionable section.
Other Features Remain.
The remaining features are to stay
and they include the gradual reduc-
ton OF the number of saloons in Bal
timore city to 1000 closing from mid
night TO Z o'clock a. m, closing of
hotel bars from to in the morn
ing, and more exacting conditions re-
garding the issuing Of licenses.
These features of the bill all inter-
ests are agreed upon as necessary to
stave off prohibition, the fear of
which has greatly alarmed the liquor
people since West Virginia went dry
and Virginia has passed local option
bill.
Two bills introduced in the House
by William Purnell Hall, Of Balu-
more city, relating to the liquor busi-
ness, are to be killed, owing to the
opposition of the brewers. One is to
prevent the hypothecation of liquor
licenses and the other gives saloon
keepers the right to appeal to the
courts after they have been refused q
license.

The class in Sociology, taught by

Tuberculosis Sanatorium Thursday
morning as part of the regular class
work of outside practical investigation.
DIR. A. L. Desjardins, medical director
of the institution, showed the class
over the new building, explaining a
great deal of general interest con-
corning the care of the patients. DR..
Desjardins spoke OF the commendable
work which was being done for tu-
hercular patients in some of the other
states. Maine, he said, is very far be-
hind the times in its care of those in
fiicted with the dreaded disease. The
fact that Maine has $4,000 people who
have tuberculosis and has only 1876
sanatory beds to accommodate them,
quite surprised all the members of the
class. 1t was only two weeks ago that
the class visited the Waterville aims

George e Bird eloquently paid tribute
TO the memory of Mr.. Goodwin In
brief address. He spoke of his Won
derful personality, his honesty, ana
his greatness as man with men. lie
then efessed that the following reso-
lutions be placed on the records OF the
court ssfE#
Honorable Forrest Goodwin, whose
death occurred on the 2Sth day OF
May, 1913, was born in Skowhegan
June IA, 1862, graduated at Colby COL
lege 1887, elected to the Maine House
of Representatives 1883, admitted 10
the Bar in 1889, served as member OF
the Seate Senate two terms, 1897,
and was president of that body In
lYuO-l, ana Was eieGltQ q
tive in Congress in 1912.
In early life he developed those
qualities of mind and character SO
distinctive of his career throughout.
Energy, perseverance, honesty, ana
integrity characterized every step. Or
transcendent natural ability, he was
vet student of rare discrimination.
In his young manhood, possessed OF a
strong and vigorous body and con-
stitution, he was a leader in manly
sports, and won distinction not only
for his leadership, but for recognition
and appreciation of friendly square
rivalry. He was endowed with those
rare social virtues which made him at
once an interesting, instructive and
Iovable companion.
In his practice at the Bar he ac-
auired a reputation for faithfulness,
integrity, accuracy and profound
learning that was unduestioned, ana
gained the confidence and respect OF
the courts, his associates, and the peo-
pie. Foreeful and decisive AT all
times. he was yet courteous, kind,
generous and instinctiyeiy gracious.
He gave to the practice of his chosen
profession that undivided loyalty and
application to onerous and exacting
duties SO necessary to gain erninence.
ELOQUENT, yet logical; calm, yet not
lacking in those q higher emotions
which make logicpas we'll as eloquenee
effective. Mountains of work did not
appan him, and hts courage was not
operborne even to the end. He died a
martyr to industry -
In his public life he was true to the
highest ideals. He discussed public
questions with refreshing frankness
and defended his Views with all the
ardor OF conscious rectitude and with
all the bravery of conscious strength.
In him there was no hesitancy; he was
always making valiant defense or a
