.DISTILLERY IN
HAWAII CAN'T
MAKE BOOZE
Ruling on Use of Waste MoIas-
ses Comes From Washington;
May Manufacture Alcohol

Refuse waste molasses may be
used as a distilling material for the
production of nonbeverage goods
only, under the act Of August TO-"
With the receipt of the fore going
cablegram Saturday from the commits.
sioner of internal revenue, Washing
ton, D. c., Ralph S. tombstone, acting
collector of internal revenue at Homo
lulu, has advised a distillery on the
,sland of Hawaii to cease using refuse
waste molasses for the manufacture
of gin and rum. He has ruled, how
ever, that the distillery may continue
to use refuse waste molasses for the
manufacture of alcohol.
With a view to determining whether
refuse waste molasses is a feed or
food coming within the liquor clause
of the national food law, Acting Col
Hector tombstone sent the following
cablegram to the revenue commission
er last Thursday.
Under the act of August 10, 1917,
can distilleries continue where refuse
molasses is used solely? If discon.
tinued, molasses thrown away"
The reply, quoted above, came last
Saturday afternoon, and Acting Col
lector tombstone Immediately in
formed the Big Island distillery Of
kssscvftents .f'he reply IS interpreted
as meaning that the Hilo distillery
will have to close unless it uses the
refuse waste molasses solely for the
Oscillation of a spirit which will not
be used for consumption. There is
nothing to prevent the distillery from
manufacturing alcohol, the acting col
lector thinks, on the ground that al
cohol is not a beverage such as gin
and rum might be termed.
Il was doubtful in interpreting the
law on the question of whether refuse
waste molasses was a food or feed"
