Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-That the automobile tour
list traffic to Colorado during 1915 was
the heaviest in the history of the
state is indicated by the annual re-
port of State Oil Inspector James
Duce for the fiscal year beginning
Dec. l. 1914. and ending Nov 80 last
The consumption of gasoline is a
criterion OF the extent of automobile
operation in the state, and it is
agreed by officials and others in
touch with the situation that a con-
siderable portion of the gasoline
brought into the state and inspected
this year was due to the heavy de-
mands made by visiting auto tourists.
The figures of the state oil inspect
or show that 14,15S,603 gallons of
gasoline were inspected during the
fiscal year of 1915, as against 9.575.-
forty-seven per cent. This years
consumption of gasoline was more
than double that of 1912. when APP
proximately 100000 gallons were
brought into the state. The total in
crease for the year was 4,5s3.157 gal
Ions.
The consumption of kerosene in
Colorado also showed an increase in
the fiscal year of 1915. The total for
1915 was 5,994,422 gallons. as
against 5,702.O46 in 1914, five per
cent increase.
Inspection fees collected by the oil
inspector in 1915 amounted to $20.-
1853. nearly $4,000 more than in 1914,
and nearly double that of 1911. The
inspection fee is 1-10 of a cent per
gallon. Frem fees of the office there
was erected this year $4,000 oil lab
oratory at the State University at
Boulder, while $4,000 will be turned
into the general state fund.

CAN YOU TREAT FRIEND?
DRY LAW ENFoRcERs" FIND
MANY TRICKY TERMS.
State, District and County Officials
Hold Meeting at Capitol to Com
slider Prohibition PenaltyLa~

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-Interpreta of many
points of the prohibition penalty law
were generally agreed upon Tuesday
by the district attorneys and sheriffs
of the state in special meeting held
at the capitol for consideration of en-
forcement of the law when it goes
into effect Jan. 1. But upon one point
of wide interest to the public there
was divergence of opinion. Some
held that under the law person can
not give away to guests in his home
liquor imported into the state after
Jan. 1. Others held that an individ
ual can give such liquor to friends on
the condition that the liquor is i'm.
ported for his own personal use and
the giving of 1t is merely Incidental.
Attorney General Farrar and many
others hold that the imported liquor
can be given away in private home
within limits determined by its use.
John Rush. district attorney of Den
yer, and others. believe that only
liquor on hand Jan. 1 can be given
away in the homes afterward and
that the wording OF the law strictly
prohibits the giving away of imported
liquor, thus confining 1t absolutely to
the use of the importer.
Under the later Interpretation a
man could give the imported liquor
to his family, that being construed as
personal use, but not to a friend who
happened to be in the house.
Provisions of the law that will un-
doubtedly be surprising to the general
public were brought out in the discus
sions and generally agreed upon.
Among these were:
That, under an Interpretation of the
law by the attorney general, persons
living in hotels will be violating the
law If they keep liquor in their rooms
in the hotels. Attorney General Far
rar holds that the law, by specifically
mentioning hotels and roomiug and
boarding houses, puts them outside
the classification of private homes. Al
though man and his wife, or sim
gle man, make their homes in rooms
in hotels they will be violating the
law If they give away or even keep
liquor in their rooms.
Liquor cannot be kept in clubs at
all. 1t will be a violation of the law
for person to carry liquor for per
sonal use from one county to another
or from another state into Colorado
without registering the fact and the
amount with the county clerk
Persons importing liquor as freight
will have to go to the freight houses
10 get the liquor themselves, unless
the railroads install delivery services:
q delivery of liquor by an agent is for
bidden
Express or other shipments deliv-
cred directly by the carrier can be re-
ceived only by the consignee in per-
son. A mans wife, son or brother
can not sign the necessary affidavit
of receipt. for him
Whether near beers" soda pop and
other soft" drinks that contain al
cohol are intoxicating beverages and
prohibited from sale will have to be
determined as subjects of fact
There appeared to be preponder-
ance of opinion that persons import
ing liquor after Jan. 1 can give the
liquor away in their homes.
