to Dream of Barges An

Traffic Violation.

Lovers of the cup that cheers and some
times inebriates who have conjured UP
pictures of summertime convival sessions

must abandon hope. Thousands of dis
ciples of Bacchus in many States have
ventured the forecast that Atlantic City
would "find a way" and in various quar-
ters it has been declared confidently that
the resort would see that no visitor went
thirsty as long there could be found
supply" and enough seaworthy barges
Persons who have an idea that they
may buy or sell wines and liquors free
from restraint of law beyond the three
mile limit will be disilusioned. They will
find that the law can in some way reach
them even at that distance from shore,
declared Henry w. Lewis. United States
Commissioner. today. and Mr. Lewis has
reputation for meaning what he says.
