BEVERAGE DEALERS
T0DROP NEAR BEER
Threat of Prosecution Under
Recent Court Decision the
Cause-WiII Test Law.

Anticipating arrest and prosecution for
the sale of the so-called near beer,
scores of local dealers in that beverage
tomorrow will eliminate it from their
places. Their action is prompted by the
order of Maj Pullman of August ), d.
recting members of the force to arrest
all persons who dispense the liquid on
and after tomorrow. 1t is stated in the
police order that the prosecutions are
to be instituted under the liquor law as
interpreted by the Police Court in the
case of the District of Columbia against
Lyons.
Judge .Pugh this morning told a Star
reporter that the Lyons case did not
beer under the liquor law. In that case,
the judge stated. there was evidence OF
three distinct sales of whisky.
Dealers to Make Test Case.
1t is stated that dealers in the product
have reached the conclusion to contr1-
butte to. fund to be used in defraying
the expense of testing the question at is
sue, and in order to make the test 1t is
probable that counsel for them will
agree to a state of facts and submit the
question to the court and jury. Shouid
the opinion of the court and the Verd1ct
of the Jury be adverse to the interests of
the dealers an appeal will be noted and
the case taken to the Court of Appeals.
1t is claimed by dealers in the near
product that the retail liquor law gives
them the right to sell any beverage
containing less than per centum OF
alcohol and cite the provisions OF the
law.
Extract From the Law.
The law cited states:
wherever the term Intoxicating
LIQUORS is used in this section it shall
be deemed to include whisky, brandy.
gin, wine. cordials. rum, ale. porter,
beer, hard or fermented cider. and all
other fermented, distilled, spirituous.
vinous, and malt liquors, and every
mixture of liquors which shall contain
more than per centum, by weight, of
alcohol, and any mixture of liquor
which shall contain less than 2 per
centum of alcohol, if the same shall be
intoxicating"
When the test case reaches court. 1t
is stated, counsel for the dealers will
contend that the near beer contains
less than the amount of alcohol speci-
fed and that it is not intoxicating.

longed to a Roman family of high
rank and held the office of decurio
in Saul or Britain. His mother was
near relative of the great patron
of Saul, st. Martin of Tours. st. Pat
rick died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ire
land, and ST. Tassach administered
the last sacrament to him His re-
mains were wrapped in the shroud
woven by St. Briggs own hands.
The Bishops and clergy and faithful
people from all parts crowded
around his remains to do honors to
the father of their faith Some of
the ancient lies record that for sew
cral days the light of heaven shone
around his bier.
st. Patrick died on the 18th of
March, 439, and hence this day is
faith Some of the ancient lives re-
mains were inferred at Chieftain' S
