FRENCH LINE WILL
FIGHT DRY RULING
viii First Try Supreme Court and
then Take Issue to The
Hague

Paris. Oct 13.-The French line
has decided to fight the Washington
ruling against the carrying of liquor
by foreign-owned liners within terri
torial waters in the supreme court
and. in the event OF an adverse de-
csion there, will move to obtain an
appeal to the international court of
justice at The Hague. 1t was learned
yesterday.
Liquor as usual" up to the three.
mile limit, was the decision the
board OF directors of the French line
made after two long sessions. Then
seal up the bars and let international
law take its course"
The British lines are understood
to be in perfect harmony with the
French company in this matter. The
first test case is likely to arise when
the White Star liner Majestic, which
is scheduled TO sail from Cherbourg
the 18th, reaches New York.
The French government has decid.
ed to await developments. leaving the
question for the present entirely in
the hands OF the shipping companies.
They will, however, make representa-
tions should sailors and stokers
aboard French-owned ships and fly.
ing the French flag be deprived Of
their half or entire liter of wine.
NJ. Rio. minister OF merchant mar
inc, is preparing the data on the sub
ject for Premier Poincare. The latter
may take up the matter with Wash
ington should the French-owned shipc
be seized. NJ. Rio has asked the opin-
ions OF French experts on information

cluded This Morning

taurant, Three Stores, Club
Rooms and Offices

The Bennington opera house block,
the largest parcel of real estate in
the business section Of the village,
was sold today to John b. Harte,
owner OF Harte theatre and present
leasee of the opera house. kumors
that the property was on the point OF
changing ownership have been. in cir
culation for more than year and the
announcement of the sale will cause
no surprise.
The block has been on the market
for some time. like other business
and residential property in the viii
lage comprised in the originally large
holdings OF Henry w. Putnam. A
large number of houses once includ-
ed in the Putnam holdings here have
been sold in recent years, in many in
stances to tenants who have become
owners, and, few months ago, the
Putnam House went into possession
OF the proprietor, c. II. Stafford.
The sale of the opera house block
Is the climax of an unusually large
number Of transfers OF business prop
erty here. The block Is q three story
brick structure put up 30 years ago.
At the time 1t was the most imposing
building in the village and it con-
tinues to retain this prestige in the
lst OF privately owned properties. AT
the time of its opening the opera
house had few equals in communities
of like population 1t is the intention
of the new owner to make certain In
terror changes that will add to its at
tractiveness.
The ground floor tenents OF the
building at the present time are
Charles G. Cole. Inc. mems clothing
and furnishings; Alps Restaurant;
Miss A. Nolin, millinery; Il. B. Patter-
son, groceries. On the second floor
are the rooms OF the Remington club
and Offices Of Batchelder & Bates and
George A.. Mathers. The thirc floor
Is occupied by Stark lodge of Odd Fs'.
lows and the Howitzer company OF
the Vermont national guard.
Mr.. Putnam came to Bennington
from New York to be personally pres
ent during the final negotiations and
the transfer OF the property. 1t is
understood that 1t has been his wish
that the property when sold should
come intog possession OF permanent
resident of the village and he has
found such a customer in Mr., Harte,
all OF whose interests are centered
In Bennington.
