Creation of a department OF con-

here Yesterday by John II. Wal

results from the operation of the
law SO far.
Charges Bureaus Fail.

'It is palpable to every thinking

Says Accused.

To have a cellar full of wines and
other choice drinkables which have
been embraced by the protective
arm of the law for almost two
years, handed back with the key
that goes with the cellar door-that
is a pleasant sensation. But to have
this happen in the midst of hot
summer, and in the very heart Of a
land of parched throats, easily per-
mits 1t to be classified as a grand
and glorious feeling.
All this may happen to Marius
Biscaye. Marius, owner and oc-
cupant of a former French restau-
rant at 513 Thirteenth street north
west, was arrested November 6,
1918, charged with selling whisky.
and his cellar was raided of its
$1,000 stock of liquor. Yesterday he
was acquitted by a jury in Judge
Hardison's court.
The day of his arrest, II was
charged, two soldiers entered Bis
cages restaurant and asked for
whisky. The incident occurred dur
ing the FLU" epidemic and Biscaye,
according to his testimony. fur
nished liquor gratis. The soldiers
made the claim they had purchased
the whisky.
In his plea yesterday Biscaye in
sisted he had provided the drinks
free, it being his aim to help Ameri-
cans who were then aiding France.
And the $1,000 stock of liquor?
No order was issued for its return
to Biscaye. but it is understood its
return will automatically follow
his acquittal.
