BUSINESS
|SG()NE
HERR:
Must Be Transacted Now in
Cities Where Divisional Head
quarters Are Located

The Government decentralized
prohibition machine has wrecked
the business of about $50 "dry''
lawyers who since the eighteenth
amendment was adopted have
made thousands of dollars in
Washington, it was learned at the
Treasury today.
With virtually all administrative
matters pertaining to the oper-
alton of the prohibition law now
under the jurisdiction of District
administrators the necessity for
Z attorneys handling this type Of
cases in the Capital is vanishing,
according to officials.
Migrating to Other Cities
Many dry" lawyers are turning
to litigations that are another
lucrative source of legal income,
while some are migrating to the
head of prohibition districts in
New York, Chicago. San Francisco
and other large cities.
Officials expressed the opinion
that thousands of attorneys in pro-
hibition district h e a q ua r e y
throughout the United States will
Turn 10 dry cases as IHSlE
pal means of livelihood.
1t was explained that little of the
work of the prohibition attorneys
has been of the criminal type, but
pertains to obtaining permits for
sale of liquor, Withdrawals from
warehouses, export of Whiskey and
other permissive details.
Andrews Issues Rules

extremely intricate in nature, COW
ering a wide range of operations,
and require the services of at+or-
neys well versed in this branch of
legal practice.
General L. C. Andrews, dry"
car. recently issued strict regula-
lions governing the practice of pro-
hibition attorneys before the Treas
ury Department. 1t was under
stood that these regulations will be
made applicable to legal practice in
each administrator headquarters.
Treasury officials are taking
particular precautions to safeguard
the public from the practices OF un-
Scrupulous attorneys, having dis
barred larger number in tax
litigations.
Regulations Far Reaching
While none have been pronlolteo
from practieing in prohibition cases
so far. it was understood that
quick action will be taken il illegal
operations are uncovered either in
Washington or in the offices of ad-
illustrators.
With the. new prohibition system
has grown up a more far reaching
set of regulations especially per-
tanning to the manufacture and use
Of industrial alcohol issuance OF
permits to druggists and physicians
and employment of alcohol by toilet
article manufacturers.
Legal experts are being placed in

Within the next few weeks adj
ministrators are expected to submit

NEW HAVEN RAILROAD

Stockholders Of the New York,

spirits. The stock Of the company has
hit 45--~or had hit that when this
was writtcn~-and that at least re-
presents confidence in the future of
the railroad. The low for the year
was %.
In 1914 the stock Of the company
was 142 and when the crash came II
fell to 9 SIS within q few months.
This enormous drop in value great
" reduced the wealth of some pco-
pie in New England who previously
had regarded the Companys stock in
the nature of government bonds. The
reaction has been SLOW; but IS is
something. The probabilities are the
stock will go still higher, as it can
rot be dcniel the New Haven man

its faults in connection with its at
tempts TO create another transror-
tation monopoly through buses and

A. Psalm &c, verse 10 reads
The days Of our years are three

A. The paper is first made as alb
sorbent as possible by removing the
Gil and impurities from the fabric

in New Britain, viii be the conduc-
tor. The probabilities are that the
public will flock to this outstanding
musical event OF the season, particu-
larry as the Handel work has not
been sung here for 80 years, and to
many OF the new generation 1t will
be the first time they ever heard
1t,
This Is a local event, 1t is not an
event the success OF which hinges
upon the drawing power OF soIoists
or operate stars. One hundred and
sixty local singers are identified
with the choral society and they
have been devoting much time to
rehearsals. The prestige OF the
choral society is high. and every e.
fort has been made TO enhance Its
prestige through this years per-
Torrance.
Singing a choral work Of this
caliber, and doing 1t with accom-
plished soloists and a large sym
phony orchestra, cannot be money
event. In tho nature OF
things. 1t Is difficult TO see how
there can be more than a few dol
lars 10 spare II the entire house Is
sold OUT, as is anticipated. II
simply cannot be done. The prescn-
tation, therefore, comes under the
head OF public service, cultural en-
terprise that enures TO the benefit
and credit OF the city. Man cannot
live by bread alone, said Man
around whom the Messiah" was
written; and this city cannot at
tain its own full measure of worth
without such events as the Choral
society purposes rendering to citi-
zens Sunday.
The city should be proud Of the
fact 1t has a Choral society OF size
and quality. one that can adequately
give such a masterwork with the as
sistance OF a symphony orchestra.
After all, it is public response that
makes it possible. The city should
regard Sundays performance as
event of the first magni-
tude.
