CELLAR ASSA|LS
DORAN ON PERMITS
Monopoly in Medicinal Whisky
DiStiIIation Charged by
New York Democrat.

ALLEGATION of permission for distills-
ton of Bourbon whisky for medicinal
purposes to the American Medicinal
Spirits Co. of Louisville, KY, in excess
of permission granted other distilleries
by James M. Doran, prohibition COM
missioner was attacked yesterday in a
letter to Mr.. Doran by Representative
Emanuel Cellar Democrat, of New York
The letter. was written, Mr.. Cellar
said, mot In the spirit of captious
criticism" but to help correct situa-
tion which seems improper, If not un-
just"
Reasons Summed UP.
In his summing of reasons why Mr.
Duran should not have allotted to the
American Medicinal Epirits Co. "40 per
cent OF the entire eallonsge of both
rye and Bourbon whisky to be dis
titled" and about 40 per cent of the
entire amount of Bourbon" Mr.. Cellar
charged the corporation was being
helped to fasten itself upon the country
as monopoly and that in the event
of an epidemic, ''this company could
charge any price it saw At for this
whisky"
Merit Is ASsared
Mr.. Cellar more pointedly charged
that the company "does not warrant
the confidence you (Mr Doran) repose
in it." He stated that some of the
important personnel of the concern had
been hailed before the Federal courts
for violation of the prohibition law"
In furthering his argument, Mr.. Gel
lar said he could not un1rfstand why
Mr.. Doran had limited his ronsidera-
ton of stored whisky to handful of
warehouses and "disregarded the whisky
stored at the present time in number
of reputable warehouses. Mr.. Cellar
stated Mr. Dursn had run out of busi-
ness a number Of creditablc independent
distilleries" by using the standards he,
Mr.. Doran, had adopted.
