eminent warehouse. During wartime
prohibition liquor for beverage pur-
poses may be removed from bonded
After the amendment goes into effect
in January, 1920, liquor may be NOV
ed from a bonded warehouse only for
medicinal, scientific, mechanical and
sacramental purposes. Only for these
uses, it might be added, may liquor
be sold.
Q.-Suppose a person had not room
in house or apartment before war
time prohibition went into effect, and
he stored a barrel or several cases of
whisky in an ordinary storage ware
house, will he be permitted to move
this to his residence?
A.-Under "Title 1" of the act,
which concerns the enforcement of
war prohibition, there is no prohibit
ton against this. Under little 2"
which CONCERNS the enforcement of the
amendment, it would probably be
necessary to obtain a permit from
the commissioner of internal revenue
or one of his agents to transport the
liquor. The manufacture, sale, pur-
chase, and transportation of Liquor
as permitted under the law-are gov
erned by the issuance of permits by
the commissioner Of internal revenue.
Closely drawn restrictions are thrown
around the issuance of these permits.
Q.-Is not the law clear on this
point as to whether the person who
has bought liquor for his personal
use may move it from one place to
another? How about the many cases
that will arise when a citizen moves
from one city to another or from one
state to another?
| A.-This is considered a mooted
point in the act; one for interpreta-
!. tion. 1t is said the original intention
of the trainers of the act was that il
should not be done, as one can see
that the procedure opens up many
channels for fraud. Persons can
, claim that liquor which they have IL
legally bought was held by them in
r storage in another place. In the de-
/ bate in the Senate the question came
{ up whether a person moving to an.
{ other house could take his wine and
r liquor with him Senator Phelan ask
A ed this of Senator Sterling, who haC
\ charge of the bill. Senator Sterling
: only committed himself TO say, 81 an
! inclined to think he can," and addeC
, that he had been asked that question
!. more than once. "Then," continued
e Senator Phelan. "as i understand
: senators, on returning to their sever
: al homes in due course. may take witt
d them the remnants of their cellars :?
Senator tSerling's answer was, 9Th
;. senator will have TO put his own in
{ depreciation on the bill in that re
s spect."

For the guidance of wayfarers
