Boston WiU Hold Tea
 PartyOfModern Form
All the Characters Have Been Selected and Are Study
 ing Their Parts in Wet Drama

Boston, Dec 5-(UP)-The Bos- ton tea party will be staged in the twentieth century form tonight.
 Police, licensing authorities, man. ufacturers, hotel, restaurant and club proprietors, and the common people who were to be the prin- cipal actors in the modern drama "crammed" the parts they will play as soon as word is flashed from Utah tha tthe good ship Pro- hibition had roundered. The legis- lateure's tardy decision that the show could go on gave them only g. short time to study their roles.
 The wherewithal for the celebra- tion was in existence, it was ad- mitted, but it was apparent that only a small portion of the stock could be distributed in time for the first night of the wake.
 It was estimated that there were 100000 gallons of hard stuff in New England, perhaps 100000 in Massachusetts and the largest part of this in Boston. The Quincy Mar ket Storage warehouse was the principal depositary, and the ac- tivity around it later in the day was expected to resemble that of bees around honeycomb.
 The Boston licensing board was geared to issue perhaps 175 licenses to hotels, restaurants and clubs in the hours immediately following repeal. The hotels published in vitations to their parties in this mornings newspapers, intoxicating the interested reader with such phrases as "tinkle of tall, cool glasses, teeming with delicious re- freshment."
 There was plenty of hard liquor and wine in town, but no Scotch. The quality of the rye was reported as not so good. Beer of higher than 3.2 content was plentiful.
 In the hotels, cocktails will sell for 35 cents apiece and up, with highballs about the same. Cham pagne' will range from $5 to $9 a quart.
 The shot fired in Utah will be heard with great din in Boston. Fog horns on ships in the harbor,

 Police were put on sustained 24- hour duty at 10:30 last night in preparation for repeal.
 Bill Was Signed
 Boston, Dec Massa- chusetts was ready to-day for pro- hibition repeal.
 Late last night, Governor Ely signed the states hard liquor con- trol bill, afterward expressing the hope that If there is to be any celebration of this event, I trust that it may be celebration of the return of law and order, rather than the return of the right to buy intoxicating liquor."
 Earlier in the day the bill had been rushed through its final stages in the legislature. The house had favored the establishment of taverns for the sale of liquor by the glass. The senate had op- posed taverns. However, com promise was effected and the bill as passed provides for local op- tion system under which com munities desiring taverns may have them.
 As soon as repeal is formally proclaimed, sales of liquor in Massachusetts will be permissible in licensed hotels, restaurants and clubs, as we'll as package stores.
 In restaurants, drinks may be served to patrons seated on stools at counters or bars. Elsewhere drinks must be served to patrons seated at tables.
 Licenses may be granted in cities and towns in which the mayor or the selectmen authorize their issue. Where these officials decline to act at once, special elections may be demanded on petition of one per cent of the voters. Cities and towns are authorized to vote on local op- tion at each biennial election.

CRICKET BONUS
 IDEA PROTESTED
Intensified Professionals ism Latest Plan in Aus=
 tralian Sport

Brisbane, Australia CUP) - Payment by results, and intensi- fled professionalism, is the latest idea in cricket here.
 The scheme, which is being tried out, but which has met with. a storm of protest from official quarters. foresees payment to each batsman and bowler and fielder, according to the number of runs they score, wickets they capture. or players they put out.
 A scale of awards has been drawn up as follows: $2.50 for batsman who scores six runs off one hit; AS cents for a boundary hit -four runs); $1.25 for each wicket bowled; $1.S5 divided be- tween bowler and fielder for each batsman caught out or stumped. There are other "prices" in pro- portion.
 The winning team would receive 20 per cent of the gate receipts, and the losers 10 per cent. The captains of each team would get $15.50. and the players a corre- spending fee apart from their ef- forts in the field.
 The matches would be one-day. Each team would have one inning, and each batsman would be enti- tied to receive ten effective balls. provided he were not dismissed earlier.
