X0 SALE FOR ITS LIQI OK.
Michigan Has Large Supplies on
Hand, and o Market.
Lansing, Mich.. April 8. What to
do with the great stock of liquor
which - the State has on hand as a
result of the confiscations from boot
leggers and others is now bothering
the Liquor Committee of the House
which. ia engaged In counting up the
great Store and in classifying it, Of
inofJiorrGKtt whisky alone there is
liiiartw'nBd ho bottled bom
There are rases or gm and of wine
an of (ibout everything else, until it
is estininted by the committee and
by" Commissioner Woodworth that
there are close of 100,000 quarts of
good liquor.
In Chicago recently the seized sup
plies were sold to druggists, and It
was the thought of the House Com
mittee . that the State's great jjtore
could be disposed - of similarly and
probably yield Michigan upward of
half a 'million dollars, tout the commit
tee immediately ran against a snag.
The druggists m't want the goods.
Representative Palmer of the commit
tee- made a careful Investigation of
the opportunities (or disposal. He
says:
i "We find that in Chicago there are
about 1,504 druggists and that of this
number approximately 1.200 have per
mits to sell liquor for medical pur-
noses. Therefore they were able to
dispose of their stock easily. But, in
Detroit I find we have more than coo
druKKlsts and that just four of them
have -permits to- handle whisky. The
rest don't want to monkey with it.
They say it doesn't pay- them. They
tell us frankly that while in Chicago
a doctor' may prescribe, whisky, here
in Michigan liquor is so easily ob
tained that the doctor simply says get
yourself a onart of whiskey and the
patient sends nut and buys it from a
bootlegger and the druggists gets no
ale.'. . r- .
