PURELIQUOR
FOR THE SICK
New Regulations Provide
Only Bottled in Bond"
Be Prescribed
DOCTORS WIN
CONCESSION

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23-Phy-
yicians scored a victory today in their
fight for pure liquor for the sick,
when Secretary Mellon signed a reg
ulation providing that only bottled
in-bond liquor may be prescribed for
medicinal purposes.
No change was made in the restric-
tions as to the quantity of bottled
in-bond liquor that might be with
drawn, but Treasury officials indi-
Gated druggists would be treated lib-
orally when they could show that ad-
tional supplies actually were needed.
April was set as the effective date
for the new regulation.
It was said the new ruling would
have the effect of releasing large
quantities of bonded whisky now un-
der guard in States in order to meet
the increased demand for the bonded
product.
One of the effects Of the new reg
ulatlon, it was said. would be the
bottling of bonded whisky for
medicinal purposes in prescription
slzes-pints and half-pint sizes.

John Ireland's Old Place.
The Free and Easy I'm Lispenard
Street Fifty Years Ago.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: AS
recall John Ireland's free and easy In
Lispenard street fifty or sixty years ago,
one large room was set apart for those
who desired TO play billiards. while an
other large room was set apart for
those whose predictions were to listen
to good singing and quar- their tobies
of ale.
The Fifth Ward then contained many
boarding houses whose occupants were
chiefly statesmen and clerks In the then
numerous wholesale dry goods houses In
that vicinity. These we're the men who
nightly visited John Ireland's free and
easy. II was an orderly and respect
able assemblage.
There was one singer there among
others who was in great demand every
night. He had a beautiful tenor voice.
but when talking he suffered more
than anybody ever heard since or
before. Yet, strange to say, when sing
ing no one could detect the slightest
vestige or suffering. He was Jerry
harrington and was born In Dublin. II
could be said Of him as was eaid of
oliver Goldsmith: "He sang like an
angel and talked Ike poor Poll"

Roosevelt's "Recklessness."

In one of the late FRANKLIN X.
LANES letters, written in 1909, there
is something about THEODORE RoosE-
WELT which, although not exact in its
description, Is Illuminating:
"The thing. find. that hangs over
all Presidents and other public men
here to terrify them is the fear of bad
times. The greatness OF ROOSEVELT
lay, In a sense. In his recklessness.
What sometimes seemed to be reck-
lessness In ROOSEVELT was really a
great and useful courage.
ROOSEVELT stepped forward to meet
issues Just as a great batter steps
forward to meet the ball.
Whenever an issue. real or arti-
fetal, came up ROOSEVELT was ready
for 1t. II was never too delicate for
him to handle. He did not dodge a
discussion because Il involved relig-
ion, race. trades unionism or any
other OF the delicate" issues.
II II was a wrong issue ROOSEVELT
thought that IL was his duty to tackle
IL before It grew so big that the whole
nation had to tackle IT, II Il was a
good issue he wanted to help II.
This was not recklessness. II was
the mans refusal to pretend that
issues could be hidden or avoided.

Jail Birds for Hire.

President HARDfNg has ordered an
Investigation to find out whether 1t
is a common practice for men con-
victed Of crime to hire substitutes
to serve Federal prison sentences.
The inquiry grew out OF the case OF
Cleveland jeweler who paid money
to a bootlegger TO hire substitute
to serve workhouse sentence The
jeweler was convicted of conspiracy
and the President was asked to par
don him.
It has been reported before that
this practice is n well organized part

on big scale Is linked In a feudal
chain. II is not easy to track down

The protection the British Empire
has given to MoHAMMED vi. may be
construed to be an act In this trus-
teeship. The Moslems Of India have
not approved the high handed meth

especially resented KEMAL's course
regarding the Caliphate. With the

Such generosity as Mr.. and Mrs.
RoBERr w. pEFoREsr show in pre-
senting to the Metropolitan Museum
Of Art wing to be devoted to Amer
lean decorative art in all its forms
is not only deserving OF admiration
for Its proof Of genuine and deep
interest in the institution Of which
Mr.. DEFoREsT is the president. In
making possible this extension of the
Museums field Mr.. pEFoREsT has
also emphasized a new and national
tendency In the art museums of this
country.
American decorative art has inter-
ested the museums Of this country
only few years. Not long ago 1t
would have been difficult to find a
specimen Of American Colonial fur
niture or of the more elaborate furni-
ture OF the Revolutionary period In
an art museum. Laymen might col
lect and grow enthusiastic over their
specimens of what native cabinet
makers or architects had done. but
for a long time the directors Of
museums were blind to the relation
between the products Of early Amer
lean artists in decoration and the
aims Of an art museum.
In accentuating the Importance
Of what our earlier workers In this
field accomplished the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art led the other
institutions Of the country. So great
has been the growth OF interest in the
achievements of designers and artifi-
GERS, however, that all museums have
acquired as many specimens as they
could. It happens that our own insti-
tuition. since 1t began earlier to accu-
mulate these treasures. now possesses
a wealth of material worthy to be
placed in the noble quarters that the
liberality of Mr.. and Mrs. DEFoREsr
has provided.
So the work of the American cabi-
net makers. architects and decorators
In the broader sense Of the word will
not long stand In any museum in the
place Of neglected stepdaughter OF
the other arts Housed SO appropri-
ately at the Metropolitan Museum of
Art the American exhibits of the
kind for which Mr.. pEFoREsT's gen
crosby has provided will be on an
equal footing with what comes from
the other countries. The American
section will be just as important as
any other section of the museum.
This example will not be lost on
other similar foundations, SO the
effect of Mr.. and Mrs. pEFoREsT's
liberality and vision will be far
reaching in its national influence.

however. for escaping conviction. lie

He was not man TO hide his light

which he was cleared he frequently
afterward boasted OF committing.
lie liked to tell OF others for which
he was not arrested. emphasizing his
own cleverness in contests OF wits
with county officials and railroad de-
tectives. Early in 1898, when there
had not been train holdup in the
Blue Cut for months. he gave warn
ing that something big was going TO
take place. A few mornings after

scious on the street, having been
thrown from his horse. A red flag,
false whiskers, dark lantern, a

ammunition we're taken from him by
