PAID DRY LAW FINE
FOR STORE, NOT SELF
H. I. Henderson Appeared in
Court as Attorney for
Nichols Pharmacy

When the Nichols Pharmacy, Inc,
was fined a total of S325 in Police
Court yesterday on two charges of
violating the District liquor law In
selling beer after hours, H. L. Hender-
son, an attorney, vice president of the
firm, paid the fine for the pharmacy,
but was not charged, arraigned or
sentenced as an individual.
A letter from the law firm repre-
senting the Nichols organization to
The Star today pointed out that the
sales in question had been made by q
clerk in the pharmacy and had been
made under the impression, mistaken
though it was. that the II O'Clock
closing law did not apply to beer of
low alcoholic content. 1t appeared
the beer sold was 81 beer and that it
had been handled by the store as a
soft drink, in the belief that 1t prop
erly came in chat category.
Under these circumstances 1t was
agreed between counsel that the Dis
trict of Columbia would not press for
cancellation of the license of the
Nichols Pharmacy 1.-THE usual penalty
for such violationsl, If the corporation
would plead guilty 10 charges brought
against it in Police Court and pay a
fine bearing a certain proportion to
the value Of its license.
~Mr. Henderson had absolutely
nothing to DO with the sale Of beer
which was charged He does not work
Ia the store and was not In or about
the store when the sales were made. /"

street and thence downtown by the
preceding route.
The two lines last mentioned will
provide local service in the territory
north of New Hampshire avenue.
South of that they will operate on
express schedules, with stops at few
selected points.
Street Car Fare to Prevail.
On these three express lines the
regular street car fare is to prevail
in the sections of the line giving local
service. It is proposed to charge 10
cents straight for passengers riding In
the express sections. Transfers are
to be issued and accepted upon pay
ment of differentialS in the rates of
fare. Passengers originating in local
territories, for instance, north Of
Chevy Chase Circle or north of New
Hampshire avenue, who wish to ride
downtown at regular street car fares,
may do so by transferring to street
cars where the local service ends.
The other two lines are one provid-
ing service in the territory now served
by the lie Droit Park street cars and
the new line from Twenty third street
and Constitution avenue along Con-
Stitution avenue to Eleventh street, II
street. Tenth street, back to Consi-
tuition avenue and thence ON ConStitu-
ton avenue to Twenty-third street,
giving service between the Triangle
area and the Potomac Park area.
These two lines would operate at the
regular street car rate of fare.
Would Re-route Bus Line.
The Burleith- Trinidad bus line
would travel along p instead of @
street, between Wisconsin avenue and
twentieth street TO replace street car
service removed from P street. The
present bus line operating between
Seventeenth and K streets and the
Lincoln Memorial would be discon-
tinued The South Washington bus
line would be extended across the
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge over the
Anacostia River and half of its serv-
ice would be sent into the Hillcrest
section and the remainder to Ana
costa by way Of Minnesota avenue.
This new service would provide the
Hillcrest section with a 3o-minute
base headWay instead of the present
so minutes and furnish equal service
in the territory along Minnesota ave-
nue..
In connection with this it is pro-
posed to re-route the present East
washington bus lire through the
Eastern part Of the city from Florida
avenue by Fifteenth, East Capitol and
Seventeenth streets, Massachusetts,
avenue, Nineteenth street, to a ter
minal at Seventeenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue southeast instead Of

Special Session Confirmed.
Senator Longs personal political
publication today tentatively con-
f1rmed reports that State administra-

Legislature in special session to
broaden State supervision over the af-
fairs of New Orleans.
Long has repeatedly said he would
call back the Legislature If the city
attacked in court certain acts of the
last Assembly-which the city has
now done-but a front-page article
in his newspaper today said Gov. o.
K. Allen might call special session
to repeal a city ordinance levying

was headed: ALLEN may call special

It is not an astounding prophecy
because 1t is already being partially
fulfilled. The main highway from
Washington to New York is practically
continuous city. There are very

ings, lunch rooms and garages.

DID YOU EVER SEE A
GOAT IN SWIM ING?
WELL, M'MAH0N DID!

Police Sergeant Timothy Nc
Mahon today was the more or less
proud posseSsor of several pairs
of shoes Of assorted sizes and for
assorted sexes, of some feminine
'unmentionables" and one live
and healthy goat.
To be sure, the property all be-
longs to other people-but Ser
geant Mcmahon, who has eX-
tended an invitation through the
press for owners to visit his office
and reclaim it, is pretty sure it
won't be called for.
The sergeant obtained his
treasures during the heat of yes
terday afternoon when, in his ca
pacity as head of the accident
prevention bureau, he visited UNI
guarded swimming pools to en-
force Chief Mike MorrisSey's or
ders against swimming therein.
People saw Sergeant Mcmahon
coming. They fled precipitately.
Behind them, they left tn cir
clothing. It's all simple except for
the goat. Sergeant Mcmahon can't
figure out why any one would
take a goat swimming.
