FROM SELLING 2.75
Liquor Dealers Urge Caution
Until Ruling is GiUen.

BOSTON, July Although the liquor
dealers who met to-day to consider the
question OF opening for the sale OF 2.75
per cent. beer took no action. many of
those present advised against selling
such beer until the courts had definitely
decided whether this could be done
legally.
Moreover, II was announced that the
licenses for the new year. effective next
Monday, TO be issued by the Boston Com
missioners, would carry a clause to the
effect that the licenses would be invalid
unless the sale OF e.75 per cent beer
were expressly Authorized by the Federal
authorities.
Several saloons were open to-day for
the sale of near beer" and temperance
drinks were sold over many hotel bars
Samples OF the near beer" contained
only twenty-one hundredths OF I per

made by the State Chemist. Walter ].

PUBLIC SENTIMENT
Anti-Saloon League Decides
on Course I'm Enforcement
of Dry Law.
LIQUOR DISASTER SEEN
Organization Not to Swear

LIQUOR DISASTER seen

William n. Anderson. state superin-
tendent of the Anu-Saloon League OF
New York, issued a statement last night
with respect to the attitude OF the league
toward the enforcement Of the prohibit
ton law in New York. He declared the
league would apply to the enforcement
of the law the same sanity, intelligence
and efficiency which brought about the
enactment Of prohibition. The league
he declared, would not operate directly
upon the lawbreaker or in the main even
upon law enforcement officials, but upon
public sentiment. The statement says:
while It will be impossible to re-
strain or control erratic individuals who
may say and do foolish things on the
question OF enforcement the Anti-Saloon
League, while standing absolutely for
the unfolding and enforcement of pro-
hibition laws. will carefully avoid any
thing that will distract the attention OF
the public from the fragrant lawlessness
OF the liquor traffic. The league will
studiously refrain from interfering with
the liquor traffic kicking from under IT.
self whatever props Of public sentiment
may be left
80 long as the liquor interests are
making more prohibition sentiment by
defying the law than we could make in
special enorts to enforce 1t, and SO long
as the newspapers are informing the
public as respects violation of law, the
Anti-Saloon League can more probably
spend its time preparing. laying the
foundation and organizing for that day
when, under the operation of the Fed
eral amendment alleged violation OF the
prohibitory law has ceased TO be SEN
sational news.
The Antl-Saloon League will not
furnish detectives for any community.
1t will from time to time secure infor-
nation for its own use and publish that
information whenever II sees At. But
II will not even then assume the burden
OF securing convictions. If the league
can find out about local violations of
law then local officials can do so IL they
desire.
1.-THE Anti-Saloon League will not
swear out any warrants or assume the
role OF prosecutor. II there is not enough
sentiment I'm the local community to
handle the local situation and hold the
local officials up to the discharge of
their duty the leagues first job is the
creation and capitalization of sentiment
and the marshalling of II in support of
conscientious enforcement officials. just
as was done In the case of legislators
who favored the enactment of prohibi-
ton"
