RULING AWAITED
ON SEIZED WHISKY
Police Without Authority to
Surrender Stock to
Hospitals.

The police department is without
authority to surrender to hospitals or
otherwise dispose of the thousands of
cants taken from persons accused of
violating the laws. Any criticism of
Maj. Pullman for failing to honor re-
quests for whisky from hospitals even
in the influenza emergency is declared
by Assistant United States Attorney
L. Randolph Mason to be unfair.
Mr.. Mason, under direction of Unit
ed States Attorney Laskey, is inquir-
ing into, the intracacfeF of the Vol
stead enforcement act and has reached
the conclusion that the District, Su-
prefne Court must pass on the ques-
tion Of the disposition to be made of
intoxicants held by the police. He is
also of opinion that by it's terms the
Volstead act may reach not only in
toxicating liquors seized since the
passage of the act. but any liquor in
the hands of the police taken under
"a proceeding for violation of law,
, whether the Sheppard act or the Reed
amendment. 1t may be necessary to
establish the fact that a law had been
violated before the disposition or
destruction of the intoXicants could
take place, it is pointed out.
The Volstead act merely designates
the court" without particularizing and
Mr.. Mason thinks that only the Dis
trict Supreme Court is meant in this
jurisdiction. Proceedings may shortly
be instituted by United States Attor-
ney Laskey asking the court to des-
ignate some department or agency
of the United States government" to
! receive and dispense the seized intoxi-
cants
Section 81 Of the Volstead act reads:
I'm all cases where intoxicating
liquors may be subject to be destroyed
under the provisions of this act the
| court shall have jurisdiction, upon the
application of the United States at
torney. to order them delivered to
any department or agency of the
United States government for medici-
nal, mechanical or scientific uses, or
to order the same sold at private sale
for such purposes to any person hav-
| ing a permit to purchase liquor,
the proceeds to be covered into the
United States Treasury to the credit
of miscellaneous receipts, and all
| liquor heretofore seized in any suit
or proceeding brought for violation
of law may likewise be so disposed
of if not claimed within sixty days
from the date this section takes ef-
feet"

100000 loan proposed for food relief in
Poland, Austria and Armenia was made
today by Secretary Glass. appearing
before the House ways and means COM
mittee.
Secretary Glass said the reduction
had been decided on in conference with
Herbert Hoover. whom the Secretary
quoted as saying that loan or gift of
$5o.00o,o00. which has been suggested
in committee. would do more harm
than good"

"One cannot describe the need OF
immediate relief" declared Secretary
Glass. reciting conditions related to
him by American officials just back

manitarian and safe thing to do. 1t is
the plain. practical common-sense
thing to do, even if we don't get the
money back. But we hope to ge,
some of it back. 1t is the least ex-
pensive thing to do.
Men, women and children, especial

DRY LAW VIOLATORS JAILED.
Judge Rose Says Fines Will Not
Suffice in Such Cases.

BALTIMORE, January 20 Especially
In sentencing William r. Fosben-
der. former Washington saloon
keeper. to sixty days in Jail for viola
tion of the wartime prohibition act
Judge Rose of the United States dis
trict court made it plain that no mat
ter what view people in the liquor
business may take of the wisdom of
such laws, it is their duty to obey
them. and those who violate the dry
law will be given Jail sentences. Fos-
bender and four saloonkeepers were
given terms ranging from sixty days
to six months.
Judge Rose said:
Il certainly have no desire to pun
ish with any unnecessary severity any
violator of any statute. and particu
larly of one like this, which estab-
fishes an entirely new policy in this
community and makes unlawful what
has heretofore been legal. On the
other hand, I am forced to recognize
that as a rule fines will not suffice.
81. therefore. feel constrained. un-
less the circumstances are very pc
culiar. to impose Jail sentences upon
the proprietors of saloons who violate
the law and are convicted thereof"

HALLIDAY SCHOOL
SESSIONS ANOTHER
YEAR ARE LIKELY
Platoon Plan Also Contem-
plated by Officials if
Pupils Increase.

School authorities may have to re-
sort to halliday classes in some of the
high schools and introduce the platoon
plan in number of the grade buildings
in September if the number of pupils
increases as expected, Superintendent of
Schools Ernest L. Thurston said today.
Mr. Thurston said he was not in favor
of taking these steps. but that they ap-
parently will be inevitable with enroll
ment increasing and little possibility of
erecting new buildings in the eight
months Intervening
The superintendent said he is strong
ly opposed to asking for any more tenn
porary portable structures to house the
school population expected for next
year.
Provides Four-HOur Day.
If halliday classes are found neces-
sary in some of the high schools in Sep
tember it probably will mean having the
morning classes report at s or SIS
O'Clock and the afternoon classes at
1890 or 1 o'clock. This would give each
group a four-hour day.
Although school officials do not look
with favor upon this step. they see it
as the only way of accommodating all
the pupils who are expected to seek
admission to the high schools next year.
1t will permit double use of the build
ings. 1t will. however, necessitate more
teachers.
With the beginning of the second
semester on Monday. Washington's
first platoon grade school will be
launched in the Park View building
This plan does not mean halliday
classes. 1t consists of dividing the
| classes of the school into two groups
one of which uses the classrooms
for basic studies, while the other
group is assembled in the auditorium
or other extra rooms for special sub
jects. At stated periods during the
day the two groups alternate between
the classrooms and the auditorium.
The arrangement permits the accom-
modation of more pupils without
changing school hours.
Extend to other Buildings.
If the experiment proves a success
at Park View it probably will be ex-
| tended to other grade buildings that
have auditoriums in September.
School officials expect that in the
neighborhood of 900 or 1000 new pu-
pills will seek admission to the high
schools Monday, the beginning of the
second half of the year. This esti-
mate includes outsiders who apply for
admission as well as the boys and
girls promoted from the grade schools.
she entrance of these midyear
students to the high schools will
mean more extra work for some of
the instructors until the sixty-six new
| teachers provided for in the defici-
ency appropriation bill can be OBJ
| tanned. @
The beginning of the second Sc
mester next week will not affect the
grade schools as much as the high
| schools, except in the kindergarten
and lower grades.
