Cordials & Beverages, Cont.

President Hoover was last week told about Cordials & Beverages, the green-&-orange liquor store at No. 201 E. 44th St., Manhattan, which has (been doing a thriving, open retail business in intoxicants for the past two months (TIME, Feb. 10 et seq.). One Eaton Lehcirt, undergraduate "Prohibitionist," of Columbia University, wrote him a rowdy, distraught letter in which he detailed a personal visit to Cordials & Beverages, and the purchase for $1.50 of a bottle of Spanish Port which "I would swear was as good as any I have bought in Spain." Threateningly, discourteously, Lehcirt asked President Hoover, in effect, what he proposed to do about this open law violation.

Meanwhile last week Cordials & Beverages continued in its accustomed, wide-open, prosperous way. The U. S. District Attorney's office said it had evidence of a purchase made there, said that the case would be tried "in regular order" after an indictment had been obtained from a grand jury. One Mike at the liquor store scoffed at the idea that Federal agents would molest him, arranged for liquor deliveries a week in advance.
