VETERANS BEER
TO BRING BATTLE
ON HOUSE FLOOR
Temperance People Want
Liquor Kept Out of
Soldiers Homes.
OffenseS Against Law
Increased During Pro-
hibition, Managers Say.

When the sundry civil appropriation
bill is reported to the House from the
Committee on Appropriations, another
prohibition battle will be fought in Con-
gress.
This time # will be on the retention
in the bill of the clause fOrbidding the
conducting Of beer halls in the eight
branches Of the National Home fO-
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, these
branches being located in eight States,
extending from Maine 10 California, and
having $1,000 occupants.
The dispute over the clause viii be
caused by the report OF the board Of
managers OF the home on the effect OF
the clause, which was inserted in the
bill for the first time last year In the
report OF the board, of which James w.
Wadsworth. of New York. is president.
Congress is told that the abolition Of
the beer halls has resulted in an in
crease Of 2S.02 per cent Of Offenses COM
mitJed by the residents OF the homes
due to alcoholism.
1876 More offenses.
The report sets forth the following re-
markable facts:
Eight months has now elapsed since
the closing Of the beer halls, during
which time the general policy Of admin
,istration and discipline has not been
otherwise changed. Reports from gov
erno-s Of all branches Of the homes
show that 1876 more offenses have been
committed by members during this pc
nod than during the same eight months
Of the previous fiscal year, when the
beer halls were in operation. an increase
of 2S.O2 per cent. Practically all OF
these offenses were due to intemper-
ance
The number Of cases Of acute alcohol
ism treated In the hospitals during this
period has increased The smallest in
crease reported was 13 per cent. at the
Pacific Branch. and the largest, 81 per
cent. at the Eastern Branch IN Maine,
which is a prohibition state
Say Prohibition Hurts Morals
THE opinion Of the board, as stated
in fits last annual report, that the dis
continuance Of the sale OF beer would
be a distinct detriment to the moral
and physical interests OF the members
Of the home, appears to be fully sus-
tained by the deplorable results shown
by the above figures. and it is strongly
recommended and urged that the pro-
hibition against the sale Of beer be not
renewed"
Although the committee has not an
nOunced whether It win strike the
clause from the bill. II Is certain that
the friends OF prohibition will try TO
insert IL on the floor OF the House. The
fight will follow between those who
wish to uphold the managers of the
homes and those who want 10 keep the
ground already gained by prohibition
In the homes
The committee has been informed that
in Maine. as well as California, there
have sprung up liquor joints in the
neighborhood OF the homes since the
sale Of beer was done away with in the
homes.

FROM JAIL
FOILED BY TRUSTY,.
IRON BAR SAWED
Negro, Under Heavy Sen
tenCe for Larceny, Had
Delivery Planned.

Had it not been for James Ryan, a
trusty at the United States Jail, the Of
ficials at the prison fear that William
Green, a negro, under a twenty-I gyo-
year sentence for grand larceny. would
have made his escape from ,his cell in
the north wing, battered the guards
with an iron bar, which he had filed on.
and have gained his liberty.
Young Ryan discovered the condition
OF the bar and reported it to the guards
at the Jail Wednesday afternoon. The
negro planned to make his escape that
night The heavy iron bar had been
sawed In two. and was ready 20 be
lifted out OF its socket.
Will Seek Pardon.
On the strength OF the valuable serv-
ice which Ryan rendered Thomas c.
Taylor, his attorney. will file an appli-
cation with the President Monday for
his pardon. Young Ryan comes Of a
good family. He was sentenced in the
Police Court 20 a $1,000 fine or a years
Imprisonment, and in default Of the for
mer was sent TO the jail to serve ont his
sentence. He was charged with house
breaking.
A quiet investigation was instituted BY
Warden James H Harris of the Jail 70
find out how Green procured the file.
II is thought that he had a confederate
who worked in the blacksmith shop OF
the Jail and who carried the file TO him,
with the understanding that when Green
had made his way TO the Office and pro-
cured the keys of the cells he would re-
turn and release his fellow-prisoner.
Dangerous Character.
Green is said TO be one of the most
dangerous characters with whom The
officials of the Jail have had to con-
tend for many years He is serving out
a two-year sentence for larceny. after
which he is TO begin a twenty-yesr
sentence for grand larceny. It is said
he served five years in Richmond. Va,
Tor larceny.
He is powerfully built and the Jail
officials are congratulating themselves
that his escape was prevented. There
are two guards on duty in the rv-
tunda, and while there are muskets
within easy reach, IL is doubted If they
would have had time to get them had
the negro With his iron bar got close
on them.
A peculiar coincidence is that habeas
corpus proceedings were about TO have
been commenced to free young Ryan on
the ground that the $1,000 fine imposed
upon him, in default of which he went
to Jail, was excessive and uncOnstitu-
tional Young Ryan is a clean cut man
twenty-five years old.

Counsel for the Government contended
that Dr. GlazebrOok cited the instance
10 fortify his opinion as an expert on
the injurious effect OF ascetanalyne and
other ingredients Of the Brain Fude. q"
which Mr. Harper did not mention on
the label of his wares. He held to the
theory that the information was dis
closed in an impersonal way, and that
no confidence had been broken by DR..
Glazebrook.
District Attorney Baker argued that
the court was right in instructing the
jury that IL II found that Harper S
Brain Fude" contained harmful or in
furious ingredients, which should not
be compounded into a preparation de-
signed and advertised to supply heat,

UphOlds GIazebrook Testimony.

Mr. Proctor declared that there was
20 reason TO support the contention OF
counsel fer Mr.. Harper. He argued
that the objection TO Dr. GIazebrOok's s
testimony was not Well taken, because
the deputy coroner was placed IN the
stand solely 4s an expert, and declared
that If the courts Of this country ruled
as Mr.. Tucker cOntended. the mouth of
every expert would be closed, and all
expert testimony would be struck down.
Mr. Proctor contended that there was
no similarity between the case being
argued and those cited by Attorneys
Minor and Tucker yesterday. Although
be admitted that section 1913 Of the Dis
