DRINKING
AT POOR FARM
One Inmate 0uSted: Seek to
Trace Source of Rum
Supply.

Investigation to determine source
of purported supply of liquor to
inmates of the county poor farm
was started today by county COM
missioners.
This course was taken by the
board after an aged inmate had
been ousted from the farm for al
legged drunkenness.
The inmate, according to COM
missioners, had access to liquor on
several occasions.
Charles Schlotz, farm superin-
tendent, informed commissioners:
There seems to be an unlimited
supply of booze getting into hands
of inmates
Inmates are allowed at liberty
during the daytime, Schlotz said,
and it is impossible to keep them
from wandering from the inf1rmary
grounds.

NIT Possession in

Special Dispatch to The Star
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September 3d.
The right of the individual to transport
and possess whisky and other ardent
spirits in dry territory would be ex-
tended by Missouri's liquor regulatory
law, yet to be enacted, if the recon-
mendations Of Gov. Parks commission
are followed by the Legislature.
Failure Of the commission in its
recent report to embody proposal for
features Of the old local option law has
brought vigorous protest from the
drys. However, the commission did not
ignore dry territory. 1t recommended
that State regulatory body be named
suggesting that the law provide that no
permits be issued for the sale of whisky
in counties or cities where the county
court, mayor or City Council filed pro-
test against sale in such communities
The vets in such arid districts. however,
would not be denied the right to possess
or transport liquors fer personal use in
the original packages.
A wide distribution Of handling liquor
would be permissible under the COM
missions recommendations. Legitimate
hotels, clubs, cafes or restaurants estab-
lished more than one year prior to the
passage Of the act, would be permitted
to serve individual drinks, while the
general sale outside those exceptions
would be in the original package. only
under the regulation and supervision of
State authority.
