OPINIONS DIFFER ON
DISPOSAL OF BEER

BUFFALO, July 20 Omitted Press).
Police are anticipating a small
riot when Weyland's Restaurant on
Main street is torn down to make
room for a new hotel, as the cor
nerstone bolds two dozen bottles OF
real beer that were placed In the
stone in 1901.
What will be done with the "vile
stur is a widely discussed question
in Buffalo. Prohibition advocates
want the beer 10 be placed in a mu-
scum or sent TO the historical society
10 be placed on exhibition, so that
the little boys spd girls who grow up
without ever hearing Of beer will
know what the fatal stuff that made
their ancestors such a low lot looked
like. The stronger element of the
prohibition party declare it should be
destroyed.

workmen on the building say they

they do, it will vanish before IL is de-
