PLAN TO TEST LEGALITY
OF "NEAR BEER" TRAFFIC
Bottle to Be Bought by Policeman
and Analysed by District
Chemist.

Assistant Corporation Counsel Ste
phens and District Chemist Lynch con-
ferred today over the best methods to
pursue in making up a case against
the near beer sellers. A test case will
seller of near beer within ten days.
it is assumed, and the Districts end of
the evidence will be very simple. A po-
liceman will buy a bottle of this So
called near beer" the analysis of the
Districts chemist will show that 1t
contains a quantity of alcohol, prob
ably 1.95 per cent by weight, and the
District will there rest it's case.
Mr. Stephens said today he had told
attorneys for certain breweries here
that the excise law forbids the sale Of
near beer. but that the brewers then
did not see the thing in that light The
first paragraph of the excise law for
bids the unlicensed sale of cert ain spec
flied liquors and all other fermented,
distilled, spirituous vinous and malt
liquors" On this paragraph the Dis
trict's case will rest, as it is assumed
that the analysis by the chemist will
show that near beer is the same as
beer, with the exception of the weight
of alcohol
1t is understood also that many bar
room owners are opposed to the sale OF
unlicensed competitors restrained by
the law.
Sale to Children Scored.
In the matter of tho sale of so-called
nearbeer the excise board. in its an
nual report for the year ending June
80. 1914, set forth the following ex-
preston of its views on the situation:
The excise board respectfully in
vites the attention of Congress to the
great activity displayed in advertising
for sale the malt beverage known as
'near-beer.' 1t is claimed for this So
than per cent of alcohol, and it is
consequently placed on sale at soda
fountains, family grocery stores, penny
standss and other places where only
non-1ntoxicants are to be sold. Its
taste is similar to the beer dispensed
by liquor licensees, and while perhaps
it contains only the amount of alcohol
represented by its makers it is the
opinion of the excise board that some
large fee should be required from
those who seek to place it on sale. and
that the hours when it may be sold
should be synchronous with those when
intoxicating liquors may be sold, or
its sale should be restricted to liquor
licensees only. At the present time
Venders of the so-called near-beer
have but to secure license from the
internal revenue department. A per-
nlcious feature connected with it's sale
is the freedom with which children as
well as grown folks may purchase it.
In this way an unusual opportunity is
afforded the young to cultivate a taste
for intoxicants."

NO LONGER RIVER OF DOUBT.
kuskokwim Now Charted For Benefit
of Northern NaXic ators,

Washington, April 1.-THE recent
announcement by the department of
commerce of the discovery of a prac-
ticable channel into the kuskokwim
river, Alaska, attracted widespread in
a notice Just issued by the department
to the effect that the coast and geo.
detic survey has printed two COM
panion charts one of uSkokwim bay
and one of the river. Both charts are
supplemented by leaflets of sailing di-
rections containing a full description OF
the courses which would be followed,
portance to the navigator.
These charts furnish the long sought
answer to the question of how 20 reach
in safety the mouth of the river from
the sea. For the first time the navi-
gator has the means to avoid the de-
ceptive blind channels which penetrate
the shoals of the delta and guide to
follow the river channel as it winds its
way thru the mud banks of the river
bed.
These charts give the results of four
years of persistent effort in face of ad-
verse weather, many hardships and
some danger. With their aid this great
river valley becomes accessible The
resources Of territory covering many
thousands OF square miles await devel-
opment by those who will grasp the
opportunity. The chart makers have
blazed the way.

FREE AREA FOR HOGS SOON.
Plans Under Way to Divide Chicago
Stock Yards

Chicago, April IA free area for
hogs is probable of opening at the
Chicago stock yards next Monday.
Plans have been under way to es-
tablish a divided hog yards for some
weeks past, and work along this line
is now being actively carried forth
by the officials of the Union Stock Yard
and Transit Company
The Stock Yards company today
closed the north hog house comprising
the Rock Island and Burlington divi-
sions. and work was Immediately be-
gun on large scale to thoroughly clean
and disinfect those sections of the
yards preparatory to opening them next
Monday for the receipt of hogs only
from free area territory.
Monday and Wednesday hog receipts
for weeks past have been largely from
free territory, and it is the plan of the
local trade to make these eligible, be-
ginning next Monday, to the eastern
shipping demand.
Federal Inspector Miller has instruc-
ton from the bureau Of animal indus
try at Washington to permit the in
terstate shipment of free area hogs
from Chicago whenever the free area
of the yards has been cleaned and dis
infected to his satisfaction.
The Union Stock Yard Company
several days ago put large force Of
men to work in cleaning the Burlington
and Rock Island divisions of the hog
house. and within the next few days
all refuse will be cleared from those
sections. DR.. Miller stated today that
perhaps some definite idea of the date
of release of this section for free ter
ritory hogs could be gained within the
next two days.
Re-opening of the shipping demand
here is expected to re-establish strong
eastern competition in the local trade.
Activity on part of railroads in Illi-
nois in cleaning and disinfecting their
local stock yards at shipping points is
expected to enable the federal release
of much restricted area in Illinois into
free area and permit both cattle and
hogs to be shipped from many points
in Illinois into the interstate trade
at Chicago.
Federal officials reported no new out
breaks of disease in Illinois today and
only the Ogle county infected herd in
Byron township is known to be alive
These were to be slaughtered today.
