LIQUOR LAW

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, April
GA test Of the Maryland liquor
law is in prospect.
Judge Waldo Burnside IS study
ing a point Of law brought up by
j. Wilson Ryon, Hyattsville law
yer, in his defense in police court
yesterday Of F. T. Beach, Silver
Hill, charged with possession OF
hard liquor in his beer parlor.
Under Maryland law, a beer
dealer is declared a violator if he
possesses liquor for which his
license does not provide. In this
case, a quart of whisky is con-
cerned.
Mr.. Ryon declared, however.
that the whisky did not come
within the scope Of the act since
it was not stamped in Maryland
but taxed by the District and car.
ried in person over the Maryland
line.
Further, there was no evidence
Of its sale in the beer parlor, he
contended. Regardless of the IN.
tent of the trainers, the act, he
said, did not provide for liquor
which was not taxed in Maryland.
Judge Burnside took the case under
advisement after hearing.

CIRCUS PAUSES

The circus almost came to town

The circus almost came to town
today.
It's stay was short. En- route

animals pulled into the AleXan.

watering and feeding the animals
which apparently felt the change
in weather as much as their
keepers.
Even the big cats-who gener.
ally fill the air with their roars-
were quiet as keepers showed meat
through the bars of their cages.
Young boys, thinly clad, who
followed the circus up from Flor
ida, hustled back and forth carry.
ing pals of water for the ele-
plants. And if you don't think
an elephant can drink lots of
water, just try shaking his thirst.
Two inquiSitive bears kept peek
Ing through the bars to watch the
big hippo next door shake his
head and roar for his hay.
The feed consumed in four
hours included four and a half
tons of hay, 1875 bushels of oats
and ITO bushels of bran. Two
steers were just part of the morn
ing menu. Not to mention the
tons of water.
Because of their more delicate
constitutions, the monkeys will
remain in Florida until May, at
PENDANTS said, and then will be
shipped up when the circus opens
under canvas.
DR.. William M. Mann, director
Of the Zoo, was one Of the in
terested spectators. He managed
to borrow camel for the Shrine
