WILL TAKE HAND
IN LIQUOR FIGHT
Attorney-General Says He viii
Oppose Any Attack on
Webb-Kenyon Act.

An echo OF the action begun earlier
in the month by Richmond liquor deal
ers to secure relief from the operation
of the Webb Kenyon act. as applied to
shipments destined for South Carolina.
came from Washington yesterday i'm
the form OF a statement credited TO At
torney-Gcneral McReynolds, to the ef-
feet that should the Richmond deal
ers renew the fight the Department OF
Justice will take a hand,
Such statement. il is reported was
made by Attorney General McReynolds
to Congressman f. Y. Webb, of North
Carolina, co author OF the new national
liquor act. Mr.. Webb brought the re-
cent action of the Richmond dealers
to the attention of the .Attorney-Gen-
eral, who, it is said, will intervene in
the first case that is brought chal-
longing the operation OF the Webb
Kenyon law in any State.
The attack In Richmond took the
form of an application for a temporary
Injunction In the United States Dis
trict Court to restrain the Southern Elk
press Company from refusing to ac-
cept and forward liquor shipments des-
tined to South Carolina points Before
Judge Waddill could act on the appli-
cation. the express company removed
the embargo under. the authority of q
temporary order issued by Judge Gary,
OF the South Carolina Supreme Court,
calling upon agents In South Carolina
to make deliveries. Judge Waddill
subsequently refused to grant the in
junction asked for.
With tho removal of the South Caro-
lima embargo, the chief grievance of
tho local dealers was dissolved, and
1t is now regarded as unlikely that
further proceedings Will he instituted
here. unless Judge Gary's order la set
aside and the express company again
outlaws South Carolina shipments.

WATCHING SERUM

Catawba Sanatorium Prepared to

When Convinced.

While hopeful that his turtle tuber-

ing to DR.. 3. l.. Taliaferro. first as

the State Medical authorities most ar

of opinion on the subject among those
who have been allowed to watch the
German scientist at work that so far
as Virginia is concerned. the authorI-
ties preserve tile Missouri attitude.
eff the government tests disclose the
efficacy OF DIR. Friedmanns alleged
cure" said DR.. Taliaferro yesterday,
"Catawba Sanatorium, through the

has expressed himself on the subject

to rush madly off to New York until
