Up tOsMqrshal Whether

Liquor on Carrie Nation Day

Tho WI CT. " probably will have
10 make an appeal to United states
Marshal "A. H.. Hudspeth In order to
carry ott their plans for sprinkilne

DESTROYED the members Of the Wom-

could appeal to the United States
marshal A, H. Hudspeth that he de-

dumping Il in the sewer.
II ne can be persuaded by the
leaders OF the w. G. \. u. that sprink-
ling the streets is a good method OF
deAtrrctibn, the ono may yet be
able TO feature their Carrie Nation
day celebration Jan. i6, by letting the
liquor run from the city sprinkler.

Might Purchase II.
In order 10 obtain the whlakoy be-
fore II was ordered destroyed, tho
W. G. 4. Y. would first have 10 mako
application 10 the treasury depart
mont at Washington and obtain a
permit ID buy H. Then said the at
torncy, the women could obtain the
supply only after the district attorney
had made application to the federal
district Judge that the liquor be sold.
The law says however. that liquor
can be sold only for medicinal, scien-
tific or mechanical purposes. The
court could not order Il sold to the
women unles they could prove that
the %sprinkllng OF the streets would
be using the liquor for one OF the
purposes named. 10
The same rule would hold good n
the sanatariums want the liquor, the
attorney says. The sanatoriums,
however. would have no difficulty in
claiming that II Is to be used for
medicinal or scientific purposes.
Dsctors IN change OF the various in
stitutions here are a triflc upset over
the attempt OF the women to have
the liquor sprinkled about the streets.
They say the Joy water should not
be wasted In n nuch fashion. why
not let the sanatorlunis have II, they
contend.
According to Attorney Burkhart
the permit To buy would first have To
be obtained ana then Il request made
by the district attorney to the dis
trict Judge that Il be sold and then
the courts order to the marshal that
he sell It to the parties desiring Il
for the specific purposes.
Not Best Kind.
Whether the brands OF thirst
quenchcrs In the federal building
would be just what the sanatoriums
would want In another question.
About 30 per cent OF the supply is
what Capt. II. +. Perkins. head Of
the prohibition forces terms camou-
flage whiskey. II Is not the pure
brands like those Of old. No"orthc-
less the physicians say they are go-
ing to investigate and sec IL the liquor
can be obtained for medicinal use.
