WASHINGTON'S
LIQUOR CONTROL
LAW HELD VALIO
Olympia, March Jl If) - The
state's new tlyuor control act paw
td its first court test with flying
colors today.
Judge John M. Wilson of the
Thurston county superior court, rul
ing on a suit attacking the valid
ity of the measure from many
angles, held the "law withstands
all the constitutional assaults made
against It."
The suit attacking the liquor law
was brought by groups of druggists
and hotel operators. They sought
an order permanently enjoining the
Washington liquor control board
from carrying out the provisions of
the act.
The plaintiffs, at the lower court
bearing on the suit March 12, In
dicated they intended to expedite
an appeal to the state supreme
court should they lose In the lower
court. The supreme court has set
April 6 as a tentative date for a
bearing on an appeal.
Judge Wilson In effect sustained
the board's general demurrer con
tending the facts alleged In the
complaint were Insufficient to con
stitute a cause of action.
One of the major contentions of
the plaintiffs was that the act vio
lates the Initiative and referendum
amendment to the state constitu
tion. Bargain prlcej on hard liquor
during the remainder of this week
may be In order as the result of a
ruling today by the liquor control
board.
The board announced it does not
Intend to purchase stocks of li
quors on hand In drug stores after
the state liquor stores are opened
for business next Saturday.
AH purchases of liquor for state
stores have been completed, board
members said.
Left-over stocks in drug stores,
however, can be chipped out of the
state for sale elsewhere, Rear Ad
miral Luther E. Gregory, board
chairman, said. Chairman Gregory
also pointed out that the board,
under the state liquor act. has the
power to confiscate Illegal stocks
of liquor.
On and after March 24 the board,
through its system of state liquor
stores, will be the only agency
through which hard liquors can be
retailed legally, except by pre
scription at drug stores. Prescrip
tion liquor, however, must be pur
chased from the board.
ASK $9,282,561
FROM DOHENY
Los Angeles, March 21 IP Recov
ery of $9,282,561 from Edward L.
Doheny, multimillionaire oil mag
nate, was demanded today by the
federal government in a suit attack
ing as fraudulent three petroleum
leases in the Elk Hills fields of Kern
county, California.
Reviving the oil scandals of the
Harding administration the suit
cited a recent ruling of the United
States supreme court, holding the
leases were obtained by Doheny's
pan-American Oil company through
collusion with former Secretary of
Interior Albert B. Pall.
Damages of $9,277,666 were as
aessed against Doheny and his as
sociates some months ago In a sim
ilar suit instituted by W. C. Mc
Duffle, receiver for the Richfield
I! company and Pan-American
which had been acquired by Rich
field. Jud-' incut later was reduced
to $5,100,000 by compromise, but
payment was blocked when Doheny
filed an amended demurrer.

BURIAL FIRM
GOES TO WALL
Helena, Mont., March 21 I7P)
Montana assets of the Merrill Mor
tuaries, Inc., will be distributed
among Its nearly 2.000 stockholders
in the state, United Stales District
Judge George M. Bourquin said In
a decision in the move of stock
holders to obtain an accounting of
the firm's funds.
The concern sold burial insur
ance. It is the power and duty of the
court, Judge Bourquin held, to wind
up the business of the concern and
distribute its property. He pointed
out it could not be dissolved because
it Is already In receivership.
He described the securities which
the firm disposed of in Montana as
"less than a lien on a flock of wild
geese.'
"The defendant is the mere alter
ego of (Charles) Merrill in a nefar
ious scheme to overreach its Mon
tana stockholders," the decision
read. "That is one more of preda
tory Utah corporations which In lo
cal history in Montana have found
green pastures, happy hunting
grounds, the land of milk and hon
ey. Is clear."
"The marvel," it continued, "is
the ease with which their fly-by-night
pressuro salesmen separate
people and money for pseudo 'se
c uric ties' less than a hen on a flock
of wild geese."
Such sales of securities, the judge
remarked, "excite wonder" in the
"astonished and cynical observer"
that anyone should "choose to travel
the rugged road of honesty."
Tlie stockholders contended of
ficials of the company had diverted
its funds to their use.
The method to be followed In dis
tributing the assets was not men
tioned in the decision.

Muss Virginia Belknap, who are at

Real Bayer Aspirin "Takes Hold" of Pain in Few Minutes
Now comes amazingly quick relief
from headaches, rheumatism, neuri
tis, neuralgia . . . the fastest safe relief,
it is said, yet discovered.
Those results are due to a scien
tific discovery by which a Bayer
Aspirin Tablet begins to dissolve, or
disintegrate, in the amazing space of
two seconds after touching moisture.
And hence to start "taking hold" of
pain a few minutes after taking.
The illustration of the glass, here,
tells the story. A Bayer Tablet starts
to disintegrate almost instantly you
swallow it. And thus is ready to go to
work almost instantly.
When you buy, though, see that
you get the Genuine BAYER Aspirin.
For Haver Aspirin's quirk relief
alwavs say "BAYKR Aspirin."

To fill the record
breaking nationwide
demand. Chevrolets
are being produced
at a record-breaking
rate of
IIEVROLET factories are brrakinj
records, trying to give America all the
cars it wants. 4000 units a day are rolling off
the assembly lines. February output was
twice that of January. March output, accord
ing to present indications, will be (firce timet
that of January. More Chevrolets are now
being produced than any other make of auto
mobile in the world. And today, Chevrolet
Is happy to report that all its dealers will soon
be in a position to make immediate deliveries.
When you consider bow short a time the new
Chevrolet has been in production when yon
consider, also, that the 1931 car Ib not last
year's model improved, but a basically new
automobile, with sweeping changes in design
this production record becomes somewhat
of an accomplishment. But, a still greater ac
complishment, in our opinion, is the uxsy that
these cart hare all been produced!
Despite continued nationwide pressure foe
more and more Tolume, every car that has
left the factories has been built and tested to
meet Chevrolet's highest standards of care,
precision and quality. The result! When yon
place your order for a new Chevrolet, youH
not only get a big, rugged "Knee-Action" car
you're also assured of getting a typical
Chevrolet car in economy, dependability and
long life.
