Court Ruling May Help
Virginia RepIenish
Low Liquor Stocks
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, April 1.-THE Vir-
ginia Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board, as stockholder, may ac-
quire more than 100000 cases Of
liquor from the reserve stocks of
the American Distilling Co. because
of decision yesterday in the Fed
eral Court at Peoria, Ill.
The court action at Peoria was
an injunction proceeding to restrain
the American Distilling Co. from
distributing its liquor stocks to
stockholders at cost. An order en-
tered by Judge l.. LIE Roy Adair en-
joined any stockholder from inter-
fering with the administration of
the firms unusual plan, announced
in November, for the distribution Of
its stock of 237 900 barrels of whisky
among its stockholders at cost.
The suit was brought by Harry
Nedin, st. Louis, stockholder who
sought to prevent operation of the
plan. The Virginia board was not
party to the action.
The State recently purchased
&o,ZuU SHARES OI JIlc QlSUllllT1S COM
panys stock under authority of an
act of the 1914 General Assembly,
which authorized the ABC Board
to buy stock in distilling companies
as means of acquiring liquor for
sale in Virginia.
r. McC. Burlington, board mem
ber, and attorney General Abram
P. Staples are in Illinois to con-
summate the transaction and the
deal is expected to be completed
this week. although actual delivery
Is expected to be deferred for some
time due to the fact the liquor must
be bottled for retail distribution.
Officials would not comment on
what effect the additional stocks
will have on the rationed sales of
whisky in State stores, now limited
to a quart month per customer,
but indicated that If the whisky
were available in the near future
there may be sight relaxation Of
the ration allowance.
