Retail Stores
Still to Sell
Hard Liquors
Regular Customers Will
BE Served if Whiskev Is
for 'Medicinal' or for
Home Cooking Purposes

Retail liquor stores in New York
will open for business to-day and VIII
sell whiskey and other liquors in OK
cess of 2.75 per cent alcoholic content
to regular patrons for "medicinal' and
"cooking' purposes. They will also
sell 2.75 per cent beer and wines 10
all customers.
This course was decided upon at a
meeting of the New York Liquor Deal
ers' Association last night in Terrace
Garden after Mark Goldberg, at;or-
ney for the association. had repor:a1 1
to the members that they would be
within the law in so doing.
"All the retail liquor stores" Gold
berg explained, cater to neig ghborhood
trade. The dealers know their custom
ers, and if one Of them comes into q
store and says he is sick and needs q
quart Of whiskey the dealer will have
a perfect right to sell it to him, for
the act only prohibits the sale of such
drinks for beverage purposes-'
Wine for Cooking
likewise, a woman known to the
dealer may buy a bottle of sherry
vine to make sherry soup. He will
have no reason TO question her state
ment that she wants it for cooking
purposes. Of course if she uses enough
sherry in the soup to put her husband
under the table that is nothing in the
liquor dealers life
There arc 10 wines on the market of
less than 12 per cent alcoholic content
ne said. for the reason that at least
that amount of alcohol is required to
preserve wine for more than twenty
four hours. He counselled the dealers
70 get around this by diluting the wine
they sold for beverage purposes each
morning, at the same time informing
those who bought it that it must be
consumed Immediately or it --ould
spoil.
Safe from Prosecution
"The state and municipal authorities
cannot molest YOU" Goldberg told the
dealers, for the state has licensed
you to do business until September 30
The Federal authorities have not the
machinery to proceed against you, and
am inclined to construe the announce.
ment of the Department of Justice
that it has not the machinery for EN-
torcement as an invitation to continue
business as usual"

This eleventh hour DEVELOPMENT. a
fat reversal of an earlier ruling TO-DAY
Dy the department. was due to the ur-
certa nty as to how the Federal Dis
trict Court OF New York might rule on
pending claim by brewers that beer
containing that much alcohol was not
intoxicating.
But while this uncertainty existed az

than that sold generally heretofors,
fuil warning was given shat with re-
spect to whiskey ard all beverages az
TO whose intoxicating powers there was
no doubt every governmental agency
would be set 10 work in determined
efort TO prevent their manufacture and
sale.
Congress Expected to Act
How long the sale Of 2a4 per cen.
beer might continue would depend
ordinarily unon the speed of the courts.
but Congress meanwhile Will stem to
the front in an effort to complete the
effectiveness of the wartime law.
Exactly what they have refused
heretofore to do prohibition members
of the House now will attempt mass
ege of q straight, clear-cut bill for en-.

Proposed Act Defines as
Intoxicating All Bev-
erages Containing More
Than - Pct. Alcohol
Can't Pass Until
After the Fourth
Action of Attorney Cen
eral Extends Sale of
Beer at Dealers Risk

The entire United States went dry
at midnight last night.
For a time, at least, brewers may
continue to manufacture and
venders sell beer with not more
than 2.75 per cent alcohol At
torney General Palmer announced
at Washington last night that no
action would be taken against
them until decision had been
reached in litigation now pend
ing. Mr.. Palmer added. however,
that this extended no general am
nesty to such manufacturers and
venders, and said that if they
continued to do business, it must
be on their own responsibility.
Sale of all other alcoholic ber-
erages is prohibited absolutely.
laws for the enforce
ment of wartime and constitu-
tional prohibition were favorably
reported in the House yesterday.
These define as Intoxicating any
beverage with more than one-half
of ! per cent alcohol. The meas
ures will be taken up after Inde-
pendence Day. If they pass, 275
per cent beer will become illegal
without further controversy.
Federal officers here said they
would follow the Attorney Gem
erals direction to the limit of
their powers.
City police have been directed 20
arrest any one found selling
liquor of more than 2.75 per cent
alcohol after midnight.
The city entered upon its last day
of legal sale os Intoxicating
liquors with complete absence
Of that excitement and celebra-
tion which it was expected would
mark the eve of prohibition.
Those who had been holding off in
their purchases against the time
when the price Of liquors would
drop were disappointed Instead
of an eleventh hour collapse, the
prices in some instances were
actually boosted
Burlington, Vt, was tn. first vet
town in the nation to go dry.
Liquor was abolished there on
Saturday because a circus was
coming to town yesterday.

Enforcement Bills
Reported to House

WASHINGTON, June 3O.--Bills for
w enforcement of both wartime
and Constitutional prohibition were
favorably reported to the House late
to-day by the judiciary Committee
They define as Intoxicating any bev-
erage containing moro than onc-half
of l per cent of alcohol
Consideration of the measures is
not to be had until after the Inde-
pendence Day holidays, but prohibi-
ton leaders expect them TO go
through without unusual delay. They
say their enactment will serve to
make illegal the sale of 2at per cent
beer. at least until the President de.
clares Rehabilitation completed.

z. S. Officials
Say They Will
Enforce Law
Won't Make Indiscriminate
Arrests for Sale of 2M
Per Cent Beer, However,
Until Courts Settle Matter

we will treat the enforcement Of
the wartime prohibition act as we
would treat any other act-that is. we
will proceed Immediately with its en-
forcement after midnight.'
That in substance is the attitude of
the Federal authorities in this city as
expressed yesterday at the local Offices
of the Department of Justice and the
United States District Attorney The
reservation was made in accordance
with Attorney General Palmers rul-
ing that as far the sale Of 2s. per
cent beer is concerned no arrests for
the violation of the act would be made
until the final decision on the issue
Is handed down. Until then evidence
viii be gathered 10 be utilized in case
the courts finally put ban on the sale
of 2a4 per cent beer.
1t was declared at both Offices that
the cooperation Of the local police de-
partment would be essential to the
quest from the Federal authorities in
Washington to the police in cities
throughout the country would be forth
coming, asking their aid.
Police Aid Necessary
ltuuul tnc 2!O OF the Police De-
partment,' it was stated at the Office
of the Department Of Justice, "the en-
forcement Of the act would be virtually
impossible"
At the Office Of Commissioner Enrieht
It was declared yesterday that should
the Federal government request the CO.
operation of the Police Department il
Will be given.
At the Office of the Department of
Justice it was declared:
I'VE will make no arrests. e;rher
for the sale Of liquor in general or for
the sale of 2as per cent beer, but will
submit all our evidence to the Local
Federal attorneys. Arrests will be
made upon instructions from them
We presume that the latter will orde,
arrests in cases where they think the
evidence justifies such"
At the Office Of the United States
District Attorney it was said:
We will make no indiscriminate ar.
rests. but viii gather evidence and &C,
upon it. Those selling 2& per cen,
beer or liquor in general, therefore
Will do so at their own peril. In cases
affecting the 2a4 per cent beer issue
however, we prefer to reserve prosecu
ton until the courts have finally actec
on the matter"

GOODRICH WOULD
PLACE ROADS IN
TRUSTEES HANDS
May Call Special Session of
Legislature to Make
Change in Law.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April IL
Gov. James T. Goodrich late Thurs
day stated that a special session OF
the legislature will be called. prob
ally next week. unless through an
opinion OF the state attorney gen
eral, jurisdiction Of township roads
can be placed IN the hands OF town
ship trustees.
Consideration OF the question OF
calling an extra session IS the result
OF failure 10 enroll amendments 10
the county unit road law passed ~
the legislature during the last few
days or its regular session, thus
leaving the law in a form which the
legislature. through the amendments
adopted, had intended TO change
For Trustees Control.
The amendments provided that
supervision OF township road work
should be in the hands Of township
trustees, for which work they re-
ceive pay. Under the bill as en-
rolled, supervision OF the road work
would be in the hands Of county
commissioners, who would be forced
10 employ road supervisors. but
township trustees still would receive
pay for the work done II super
vision OF the work is in the hands
OF the county commissioners and
they employ supervisors. il is esti-
mated that IL will cost at least $780,
600 more. or a toal OF s35O.OO0 for
the work. compared with the $780,
900 cost IL the work is supervised
by tie township trustees.
Another solution of the problem
is that the attorney general rule that
the Beardsley law (senate bill num-
Der 65) repeats section number two
OF the county unit road law. This
section, which places jurisdiction
or county road work in the hands Of
county commissioners is repealed
by one of the amendments which
failed OF enrolment. However, the
attorney general already has ruled
that while there appears to be some
conflict between the Beardsley law
and the county road unit measure.
ne believed that the provisions
could be harmonized and in this
opinion the attorney general pointed
out the manner I'm which he believed
the conflict would be circumvented
Hinges on Opinion.
The question now to be deter
mined is whether an opinion may be
rendered by the attorney general
which will have the desired effect
without reversing his previous Opin-
ion. or whether some other solution
OF the problem may be found. Gov.
Goodrich stated that II an extra ses-
sion is called. the legislature will
not convene before>next Wednesday
and that the most probable date is
Monday. April II. The governor said
an effort would be made to confne
the session TO one day.
IL is estimated that it will cost the
state $4,000 for "a one days extra
session, but that Ii would effect a
saving 10 the state of many times
this amount II the road law were
rectifed.
