DRINKING AT MEALS
MADE COURT ISSUE

New York, Dec. 1.-"When is a
drink not a drink" another conon-
drum was sprung in Supreme Court
here today. The answer is, "when it
is taken at meals for food or ali
mentary purposes at home, hotels
and restaurants"
This contention was made by cour-
sci for Howard Major of this city,
stockholder in the American Malt
and Grain Company, a $13,000,00O
concern, in a suit brought against
erstwhile directors, combating their
action in selling out at loss to an
other corporation. The plaintiff as
serted that if they had obtained
Competent legal advice" they would
have ''known" that the words "bev-
erage purposes" in the federal pro-
hibition amendment did not mean
'total prohibition"
Majors counsel declared that "by
legal, economic and biological defini-
ton beverage purposes as used in
said amendment means drinking be-
tween meals, Tor tipping purposes
and for pleasure only, as at bars and
in Saloons" and that restaurants will
in a very short time be enabled to
sell liquor"

Ross, an itinerant smokestack rigger
and painter, was the victim of fatal
accident this morning at the railroad
depot as he was awaiting the arrival
of a northbound train to take him to
Hattiesburg, Miss, to which point he
had purchased ticket. The unfor-
tunate man was sitting on the edge
of the platform and must have fallen
asleep, for he did not heed the APP
proach of Illinois Central train No.

tie, the result being that the engine
hit him full force, MASKING off his
right foot and cutting his head open,
death being almost instantaneous.
He had papers in his possession
giving his address at BIT Carrollton
avenue, New Orleans, and was known
in this section as "Joe the Turk. /"
Identification was made through
representatives of lumber mills for
whom he had recently worked.

FORMER POLICEMEN
LOSE THEIR LAST
LEGAL RECOURSE

John C. Scheurmann and George
A. Rousell, former police officers
of New Orleans convicted of trying
to extort a pride from Mrs. Thomas
Yarbrough, exhausted their last legal
recourse Monday when they lost their
effort to obtain a rehearing in the
Louisiana Supreme Court. The high
courts refusal to grant this rehear-
ing wrote fms to the case and
Scheurmann and Rousell viii have
to go to the state penitentiary at
Baton Rouge.
The application Tor a rehearing
had been held under advisement by
the Supreme Court practically ever
since the five justices decided against
the two ex-policemen on their appeal
last June, and the length of time in
tervening had given rise to belief in
some quarters that the convicted
men might have made some impress
sion on the court with a last desper-
ate to save themselves from punish
ment.-Times-Pic ayune.
