D. c. LIQUOR LAW
TEST IS H|NTED
A. B. c. Board Orders Legal
Opinion on Free Service
and Signs.

A veiled threat of court fight over
the order of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board that signs, rebates and
other free services given by manufac-
turers or wholesalers to liquor re-
tailers must be abandoned, was given
today at q public hearing on the
order.
The board has notified dealers that
any free signs or other services must
be removed or discontinued on or be-
fore April 20, holding such practices
are directly in violation of the Dis
trict liquor act.
Because of protests from some
dealers who believe this is not in vio-
lation of the law, the A. B. c. Board
has asked the corporation counsel for
a written opinion, on which the Dis
trict will base its future actions.
Some 40 dealers, including both
wholesalers and retailers, debated the
matter at today's hearing. While a
majority Of the group remained nom
committal. one lawyer suggested the
order of the board be subjected to a
court test.
This was countered by warning
from George w. Offutt, board chair
man, that financial or service tie-ups
in the past served to bring about pro-
hibition. This recalled that clause
was written into the liquor act to for
bid re-eStablishment of the old-time
tiled" house, this being the common
name given to retail establishments
which received financial and other
aids from manufacturers or whole
salers.
Offutt was supported by Holly
Stover, q wholesaler, who declared
that if the liquor and beer industry
was not careful in this connection con-
ditions would arise which would be
so irritating to the drys and others
that q movement would be started
again to prevent liquor sales.
On the other hand, some of the
wholesalers and manufacturers ar
gued that most of the services COM
planned of amount to no more than
services given by cigarette and soap
manufacturers to retailers of those
products.
In conclusion, Chairman Offutt said
the board would seek to enforce Ito
the limit and without fear or favor"
whatever Interpretation of the law
was given by Prettyman.

two daughters runs the little hos

On the night before the sinking
five shiyering sailors were brought
into the hotel in the last stages of
exhaustion. They had Just landed
from an open boat. Mrs. Murphy,
who cared for them, said they were
the crew of a Welsh collier.
The captain related that just of
the Old Head Of KinSale a U-boat
had stopped their collier and the
commander had come aboard. He
told the skipper and his men to take
to the boats, as he was going to sink
their ship.
Il am sorry for you" the COM
mander added. You are unlucky.
We are not troubling about little
ships like yours, but you happened

Mrs. Murphy has no doubts about
the facts of that story
1t is but another illustration of
the conflict of evidence about the
sinking. Commander Schwieger
could have cleared up the point, if
he had liked. but he lies in the
U-88 on the sea bottom. not a great

Germans Story of Chance
Meeting With Huge Liner

BY GILBERT MALLISTER
Times Special Writer

KINSALE, Irish Free State, Aug.
16.-The unusually accepted story
that the Lusitania was sunk by
chance encounter with U-boat is
challenged here, within eyeshot of
the scene of the disaster, by local
inhabitants who remember that
fateful May day of 1915.
Commander Walther Schwieger
Of the German submarine U-20 is
reported to have said that it was
not until after the torpedo had
struck that he recognized his VIC
tim as the Lusitania. According to
him, the attack occurred during the
period of unrestricted submarine
warfare, when all enemy boats were
being sunk, as result of chance
meeting while the submarine was
heading for its base in Germany.
Yet at Murphy's Hotel, I was told
a story that does not agree with
that version. 1t was narrated to
