The NEAR-BEER
DEALERS MUST
CLEAR BY MAY |
ATTORNEY GENERAL WALK
Err SAYS 1T is TECHNICAL
VIOLATION TO HAVE STOCK
ON HAND AFTER THEN.

Brunswick near-beer dealers, along
with those over the entire state. are
worried over the new prohibition law
to the extent that they will be forbid
den to ship their stock remaining on
hand after May 1st, when the law be-
comes effective.
In an opinion rendered by Attorney
General Clifford Walker, he states
there is no law of this state which
prohibits these near-beer dealers from
shipping near beer of out of the state
However, the further question arises
whether or not near-beer dealers who
have in their possession near beer on
May l, 1916, above the quantity allow
ed by law. will be guilty of a viola
tion of the law. Giving you a strictly
legal answer to this question, | will
say that section seven of the act No.
3, approved November II, 1915, and
section one of act No. 4, approved No
vember IS, 1915, prohibits absolutely
any person having in his possession
more than one gallon of vinous liquor,
six gallons of beer or one-half gallon
of whisky at any one time during a
period of thirty days. This amount
can only be kept in places used ex-
clusively for residential purposes |
am of opinion, therefore, that if these
near beer dealers have in their posses
sion after twelve o'clock PM, April
30th, 1916, near beer in amounts
greater than that indicated above they
would be technically guilty of a viola
tion of the laws above referred to-
Thes laws make no provisions for the
disposal of the stock of near beer c.
other prohibited liquors on hand after
twelve o'cock April 30th, 1916"
This opinoin of the law makes it
necessary for all near beer dealers to
dispose of their goods before midnight
of April 30, 1916, except to the guam
tity which the law allows. and this
cannot be kept in a public place.
The railroads will not likely accept
any shipment over the lawful amount
allowed after May 1st

Attract Attention.

BERLIN (by wireless to Sayville),
Bethmann-H Hoolweg's speech in the
reichstag have attracted especially
the attention of the public, the first
being that in which he alluded to
the submarine warfare and the re-
lations with the United States, and
the second being the intimations re-
garding Germany's peace terms,
when for the first time he referred
to the possibility of Germany with
drawing from Belgium, which, how
ever, he said, must be a new Bel
GUM"
His words in this latter connec-
ton are interpreted as an affirma-
ton that Germany would not evac-
uate a country where the blood of
her sons had been shed without re-
ceiving necessary guarantees regard
ing its future and that the new Bel
gium" must include a special dis
position of the Flemish portion of the
kingdom, a hint of the nature of
which is regarded as being given by
the chancellor's use of the word
"Netherlandish."
"He spoke of the necessity of assur-
ing to the long oppressed Flemish
inhabitants an opportunity for de
velopment on the basis of their
Netherlandish language and charac-
teristics."

FIRE DESTROYS
TANK STEAMER
AN EXPLOSION STARTS FLAMES
AND 5000 BARRELS OF CRUDE
OIL WERE LOST.

NEW YORK, April 6.-The tank
steamship San Cristobal, owned and
operated by the Mexican Oil com
pany between Mexican and Gulf
ports. was destroyed by fire to-
gether with a cargo of 5000 barrels
of crude oil On March 27 at Puerto
Mexico, according to reports brought
here today by the Ward line steamer
Santiago.
The fire started with an explosion
and endangered the Santiago. Tugs
towed her out into the stream, re-
turning for the blazing tanker, which
broke away and drifted near the
Santiago, which was badly scorched
before the tugs could again get lines
on the tanker and beach her. The
fire was said to have been caused
by an exposed light, which ignited
crude oil gases.
The San Christobal was built at
Newcastle, England, in 1906, for the
Mexican Oil company. She was reg
fstered at 1890 tons.

effect that he had been shot is so
characteristic a maneuver that 1t is

control which Gen. Carranza has
shown he possesses over his lieuten-

Mexican people have treated the

feeling Of optimism.
