THIS IS INTERESTING
Seller of Liquor is Individually Re-
sponsible for His Action

That the seller of liquor carries indi-
vidual responsibility for hi saction was es-
tablished by a jury in the United States
Court at Springfield, Mass, when it
awarded damages of $1,000 to woman
who alleged that the defendant in the
case sold her husband illicitly manufac-
tured liquor that eventually caused his
DEATH
The case which is regarded as test is
expected to have far-reaching effect in
liquor law violation prosecutions in the
state. This was the first of its kind to be
tried in the Federal Courts in Massacl1u-
setts OF course, the decision is subject to
final action by higher court.
In his charge to the jury, Judge Brew
ster said that the plaintiff was entitled to
compensation for loss of support occa-
stoned by the illness of her husband, if,
in the opinion of the jury, the evidence
showed that the illness and death were
caused by the liquor sold by the defend
ant. Section 20 of the Volstead act rela-
tive to the liability to compensatory for
exemplary damages in such cases was
cited.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Great Britain Drink Bill Yearly
More Than She Spent on Army,
Navy and Education

In Great Britain the consumption of al
coholic liquors is only about half what it
was Is years ago. This is shown by the
annual official licensing statistics for Eng
land and Wales for the last II months,
now issued by the government. Compared
with 1913, the production of beer is down
by SIS per cent and that of spirituouS iq-
uor by ~ per cent
And yet Great Britain is drinking an
immense amount of intoxicating liquors.
Angus Watson, presiding at a recent
meeting of the United Kingdom Band Of
Hope, points out that Great Britain
spends 100000 pounds per annum on
the army, 100000 pounds on the navy,
100000 pounds on education, 84,000000
pounds on health and unemployment in
surance, BUT 1T SPENDS 298 900
POUNDS A YEAR ON DRINK.
The milk bill of Great Britain amounts
to 100000 pounds annually, the bread
bill amounts to 100000 pounds annually,
and yet the people of the country go on
worse than wasting more money than they
spend for the army, the navy and educa-
ton combined

TREASURY DEPARTMENT
TO ACT
Will Put Into Effect Plans Govern
ing the Use of Medicinal
LIQUORS

The Treasury Department In Washing
ton is about to put into effect new plans
governing the use of medicinal liquors on
American owned vessels, with a view to
preventing the sale Of beverage liquors at
any time.
American ship owners. 1t Is understood,
are to be required to sign an aff1davit that
their medicinal stores will not at any time
be used except for medicinal purposes.
It is the practice at present of many
transatlantic shops to make use of the
medicinal liquor once they are outside the
12-nile limit. The stock is replenished at
the foreign port, and on the return trip
there is no prohibition control until the
vessel comes again within the 12-mile
limit. The liquor stock is then returned
to the medicinal status.
BY having the ship operator sign an at
fidavit that the liquor stock with which
the ship is permitted to leave this country
will not be used at any time except for
medicinal purposes, American vessels will
have difficulty, II they are not entirely
prevented, from competing with the liquor
feature of foreign owned ships.
A number of American vessels have al
ready discontinued carrying even medic
inal stock on board.

BARRIERS ARE DOWN
Gangsters and Illicit Liquor Sellers
Busy in Wisconsin Since State
Dry Law is Repealed

The repeal of Wisconsins state cry en-
forcement code, leaving the work III that
state to small group of Federal dry
agents, has resulted in an increase in ar
rests, an influx of gangsters and other
outside liquor interests and general let
down of enforcement. These results are
indicated from authoritative sources.
r. J. Nye, Federal prohibition officer for
the Western District of Wisconsin, reports
that complaints of Federal liquor law yio-
lations have doubled since the state code
was repealed by the Legislature His
agents made IS arrests and seized "a stills
in October of this year compared with 81
Federal arrests and the seizure of Is stills
in October, 1923.
According tc Mr.. Nye, there Is no doubt
that Chicago gangsters and other liquor
interests have taken advantage of the
situation to center their activities in Wis
consin. Mr.. Nye declares that I'VE have
seized more alcohol stills in the past few
months than ever before. The great stills
are unmistakable evidence of big operators
from outside the state"
Milwaukee police records show large
increase in the number of arrests for in
toXication in recent months or since the
state enforcement law was repealed. In
September, 1928, 800 persons were ar
rested, while III the same month OF TINS
year, 1,249 were taken into custody. In
October, 1928 926 arrests we're recorded.
and in October, 1929 1225 were arrested.
Arrests of automobiles for drunken
driving have increased from 10 to 25 per
cent since the dry law was repealed, ac-
cording to compilation of newspaper re-
ports made by Warren G. Jones, State SUI
perintendent OF the Anti-Saloon League,
while Mrs. Alex Bauer, vice president Of
the Milwaukee Woman's Club, says, there
is no question that the repeal of Wiscon-
sins state prohibition enforcement act has
greatly acknowledged respect for law OBJ
servance in the state and for the Eight
zenith Amendment"
The w. G. T. u, the Anti-Saloon League
and the dry forces generally are planning
for drive which will eventually end in
the re-enactment of dry state code.

LESS DRINKING AMONG
STUDENTS

S. II. Steinberg, Philadelphia, Supreme
Master OF the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraterni-

versity officials had brought about
marked decline in drinking among stu
dents.
Speaking at the Fraternitys 18th an
nual convention held in New York City,
Steinberg outlined his observations dur
ing the recent tour of Is colleges and uni
versities as compared with his findings on
a similar tour year ago. Steinberg said
efforts of officials to reduce drinking were
meeting with success in many of the edu-
cational institutions, and that in most
cases reports of drinking in fraternity
houses was exaggerated greatly

THE SENATE NOT ALARMED

Judge Richard j. Hopkins, for number
of years member of the Supreme Court
of Kansas, was recently appointed Federal
District Judge by President Hoover. His
nomination came before the United States
Senate for confirmation or rejection. and
vets made an effort to set aside the APP
pointment on the ground that Hopkins
attended meetings of the Anti-Saloon
League Of America and his expenses were
paid by the League. Judge Hopkins was
a director of the Anti-Saloon League of
America, representing his state, and oc-
casionaly his expenses were paid when
trips were made on League business. The
Senate let the vets howl and then COLI
firmed Hoovers appointment by vote of
more than two TO one.

WILL TRY TT AGAIN
Drys of New York Will Ask for
Passage of Dry Enforcement
Law

A state enforcement bill which would
make the buyer OF alcohol equally guilty
with the seller in New York state has been
endorsed by the New York Anti-Saloon
League. This bill, or similar measure,
will be introduced by Assemblyman jerks,
the dry leader in that legislative body.
The measure favored by the League
provides for more drastic penalties for
habitual violatorS than does the VolStead
act, abolishes the right of physicians to is
sue prescriptions and makes search and
seizure unlawful in dwellings. State ap-
prevail of Federal permits to manufacture
or sell alcohol will be required and buyers
would be required to testify regarding the
source of supply.

WET VENTURE FAILED

Not many days ago in Washing
ton an attempt was made by Con-
gresham La Guardia, of New York
City, to form a wet bloc among the
members of the House, but La
Guardias venture failed ignomin-
iously when only Is congressman,
an ominous number, showed up at
the first meeting, that is to say that
only about 8 per cent of the entire
membership of the House was suf-
ficiently interested even tc find out
what it was all about. Evidently the
apathy of the public towards any
modification of the present dry pro-
gram asserts itself in every direc-
ton, but it is particularly manifest
in the mediocre character Of the
wet leadership.

GOOD ILLUSTRATION
Shows How Far Wet Newspapers
Go Afeld to Slam Prohibition

A staff writer for Country Editor, pub
lished in New York, tells of the antics o.
some newspapers and their friends tt
boost the wet cause and shows what {
fallacy it all is. The writer gives this il.
luStration:
One of the most distinguished of
the Republican pro-nquor organs
has recently been consoling itself
with the reflection that the drys are
in panic. No doubt this state of
abject fear is caused by the fact that
they control only little more than
three-quarters of the House of Repre-
sentatives and little less than four
fifths of the United States Senate.
One can easily imagine what panic
would seize the vets if they suddenly
should find themselves in SO dire a
predicament.

VETS FAILED AGAIN

At the recent annual convention
of the New York State League of
Women Voters, an attempt was
made 10 enact state prohibition
enforcement law. One Of the dele
gates announced in advance there
would be a determined fight made
against the resolution, but out of
several hundred delegates, the vets
failed to muster even a dozen votes.

NOT FOR WILFUL
VIOLATORS

Failure to pay fines assessed for vio-

pauper's oath and be released at the end
of 80 days is being attempted by some
Ohio prisoners. The answer to such at
tempts is given in a ruling by Probate
Judge Bistline, of Wood County, to the
effect that the old law to give liberty to
insolvents was never intended to be avail
able to wilful violators of criminal laws

JUDGE SETS ASIDE
H TAG REGULATION
Rules That Taxicab Drivers
Are Not Responsible for
License Plates.

(From yesterday $50 Edition OF The Starr
A taXicab driver is not responsible
for the license tags carried on his
vehicle Judge John P. Mcmahon de-
cided in Police Court this afternoon,
thus virtually multiplying the efforts of
traffic authorities to force public
vehicles picking up fares on the street
to carry H" lettered or hackers tags
Judge McMahon's decision was made
in the cases of Jesse l.. Follin of the
Black e. White TaXicab Co, and
Charles E. Watson of the Diamond Cab
Co., who were charged with violating
the license law by operating from street
stands. Both cases were dismissed.
Traffic officials have insisted that cabs
operating from street stands or that
pick up fares on the street, should be
equipped with H tags, and that only
vehicles operating from central garage
could legally carry Il" or livery tags
Judge Mcmahon, however, declared that
as long as a driver has the character
license and automobile drivers permit,
as required by law, he does not have
to be concerned about the letter on the
license tag of the vehicle
The inference drawn from Judge Nc
Mahon's decision is that vehicles carry
ing Il" tags are as much of a common
carrier or public utility as those bear
ing H tags. Both classes of vehicles,
he said, are under the regulation of
the Public Utilities Commission and are
taxable as hackers.
Traffic officials had conducted their
campaign particularly against the 35-
cent fiat rate cabs. since the majority
of them are operating with Il" tags.
The decision effects only drivers of
cabs In view OF this, Judge Given
took under. adviSement the cases of the
heads of two taXicab companies charged
with violating the 81" license provi-
sions OF the license law, and will an
nounce his decision next Friday.
Judge Given said that undoubtedly
there has been an evasion and viola
ton of the license law with respect to
the tags and indicated that the re-
Sponsibility should be fixed. If the
drivers are not guilty, under Judge Nc
Mahons decision, it is believed Judge
Given will attempt to fix the response
bility on the owners.

McFADDEN ATTACKS ACTION.
Foreign Policy of Far-Reaching Con-
sequences Seen by Legislator.


; NEW YORK, June (P).-Represent-
ative Louis T. McFadden of Pennsyl-
vania last night issued a statement at
lacking the announcement of the State
Department in Washington that it has
no objection to f1otstion in the United
States of part Of the first Young plan
reparation loan.
THE statement issued by the Secre-
tary Of State and his assistant" he said
gives the approval of the present adj
ninistration to j. P. Morgan e. Co. fer
the sale of German and reparatfon
bonds to the extent, possibly Of $780,
100000 in the United States.
Faithful to the European cause, the
State Department in this announcement
brings powerful and sorely needed aid
TO the European governments. BY this
action of our Government, it fixes for
eign policy for the United States of far
reaching consequences and one which
reverSes Government policy definitely
followed since the war.
1T injectS the United States into the
midst of the most and permanent intra-
European feud that has ever torn that
continent. And it does 1t through long
course of devious and secret diplomacy
foreign heretofore to the councils of
republic and abhorrent to the long tried
principle of republicaniSm.
This action is a complete reputation
Of the policy of the Coolidge administra-
ton in refusing to mix war debts with
German reparations payments Ameri-
can investors will now buy German
reparation bonds heretofore held by the
allied governments with Government
approval"
