ONE DRINK REASONABLE, SAYS
CORPORATION COUNSEL

The amount of liquor which may
be bought in a saloon or cafe to be
drunk after the closing hour is one
drink, according to Corporation
Counsel Ettelson. Chief Healey is
likely to issue such an order before
nightfall. -.-.
What inspiration prompted Ettel-
son in this discovery has not been
told. Ever since he issued his famous
order last December, declaring that
reasonable amount" of drinks
might be bought before the closing
hour to be drunk after the closing
hour, he has insisted that none but
the courts could decide what was
reasonable amount" The result
has been that patrons have interpret
ed reasonable amount" as they saw
fit, sometimes buying dozen drinks
at the closing hour and staying till
all were drunk or they were.
On Thursday, before the judiciary
committee, Ettelson without waiting
for courts, made decision himself that
one drink was a reasonable amount.

BUCHANAN DENIES CONSPIRACY
IN MUNITION STRIKES


Stories from Chicago and New
York papers were read on the floor of
congress yesterday by Representative
Buchanan. of Chicago to prove that
the trust press of both cities played
into the hands of the big business in
their articles about his indictment for
conspiracy. The Chicago Tribune
was among those mentioned.
To prove that the advertising and
financial connections of trust news
papers put a queer slant on their
news on national political questions
as well as local articles, he showed
how the subsidized papers had TO-
mented feeling against munition
strikers.
Buchanan then denied that he had
ever conspired to stop the output of
munition factories, but said that if he
though that it would have put an end
to the war he might have tried.
He told congress that he had never
met agents of the German govern
ment, said by the press to have pass
ed money to the Chicago labor leader
to be used by the Labor's National
Peace Council to start munition plant
strikes.
