BEER LIMIT TO Be "A
QUARTS PER MONTH
Committee Makes Change at
Urgent Request From
Committee Of 100

After a heated session of the COM
mittee on alcoholic traffic, the ma
iority of which acted upon the recon-
mendation and strong persuasion of the
committee of 100, it was decided to lift
the embargo which had previously been
placed upon the amount of alcoholic
beverages that may be shipped into the
state from the outside after the prOhibi-
tion law goes into effect, to the extent
Of allowing private families and in.
dividuals to ship in "a quarts of beer
within a period of 80 days, instead of
10 quarts as originally decided upon in
the nature of compromise by the
committee and the ban upon the ship
ment in and manufacture of wine for
sacramental purposes was lifted alto
gether.
The matter of the manufacture of
wine for sacramental purposes was
eliminated from the measure because
it is expressly exempted by the consti-
tutiOnal amendment, but the increase
in the amount Of beer to be shipped in
was due to the pressure brought to bear
upon the committee by representatives
of and petitions from the committee of
100. Representatives Stewart and
Lewis stood out >steadfastly for re-
tanning the section as originally agreed
upon, 10 quarts but the majority of the
committee, Littlefield, Anderson and
Lafferty outvoted them. One argument
advanced in favor Of an increase of the
amount of beer from 10 to "a quarts
was that the containers were made to
accommodate either . or ~ bottles
and that, if the limit was fixed at 10
quarts, or bottles, the breweries would
have to make special boxes to ship
them in.
"Let them make the special boxes
to fit them" declared Representative
Stewart, "the more trouble we can
make for them the better it suits me.
Another division was declared upon
the proposition of raising the limit up.
on the quantity of wine that can be
shipped into the state for sacramental
purposes. The last amendment in
creased the amount from two quarts to
one gallon but it was claimed that this
was not sufficient and when the ques-
ton came up last night Mr. Stewart
stood ont to hold it down to one gallon,
Mr.. Lewis was willing to compromise
upon five gallons but the majority of
the committee ruled again and no limit
was placed upon the amount of wine
for sacramental purposes. Those re,
ceiving such shipments, however, will
be required to make affidavit as to the
use- the wine is to be put,
It is expected that the bill will come
mp for third reading either tonight or
tomorrow morning when the house will
90 into committee Of the whole and
insert the new amendments and con
slider the measure throughout section

SHERIDAN ASSERTS
MIKE GIBBONS BEST
St. Paul Boxer Is Leading
Middleweight Boxer In
Country
By Hal Sheridan.

New York, Feb. 3.-Mike Gibbons,
the phantom-like boxer of st. Paul, is
the best middleweight in the business.
Despite h0wls to the contrary from
Eddie McGoorty, Jack Dillon, Jimmie
Clabby, ct al, the lad from Minnesota,
is the nearest thing to real champion
the fans have seen since the death of
Stanley Ketchel. He doesn I stand
head and shoulders above his contem'
poraries but he stands high enough
that he can be easily recognized over
their heads.
Before the Gibbons Clabby battle at
Milwaukee several weeks ago, the
Hamond boxer was considered about
the cream Of his division He had a
belt emblamatic of the middleweight
championship given him by Uncle Tom
MeCarey in San Francisco after he had
beaten George Chip IN twenty rounds.
But Clabby failed to show champion
ship class in his battle with Gibbons.
Mike was an easy winner, according to
ringside reports, and it was a real bat
tie all the way. Clabby 3 friends argue
that he can't lose his prestige in ten
rounds. but Gibbons so clearly out
fought him in ten that its a safe bet he
could also do it in twenty.
Two men remain to be disposed of
before Mikes claim to the crown is to
be absolutely unquestioned. They are
Eddie McGoorty, the Oshkosh bear and
Jack Dillon.
Dillon hasn I been doing much bust
ness with the middleweights recently
and the cry has gone mp that the
Hoosier can't make the weight. But
Dillon contends he can and offers to
prove It il the occasion demands In q
recent bout with Porky Flynn over in
Brooklyn, Jack weighed lG9 pounds and
was so strong That he all but knocked
the Boston battler through the ropes
for long sleep. If Jack can make the
figure he certainly should be given n
chance at Gibbons,
McGoorty can probably make the
weight with ease. And the Oshkosh
entry has certainly proven that he is q
contender

WERNER VAN HORNE
SAYS ACT OF WAR
Sef-PrOCIaimed German Of
6Cer Held Pending
ExtraditiOn


Vanceboro, Maine, Feb. "A war
rant charging destruction of a railroad
bridge was expected to be issued here
today by Werner Van Horne, alleged
dynamiter of the international bridge
between Canada and the United States,
and salf-proclaimed Greman officer.
The warrant would serve to hold Van
Horne in custody pending the outcome
of extraditiOn proceedings.
Van Horne complacently asserts his
act was an act of war and that he can
not be returned to Canada by neutral
country. State officials, it was said
will charge Van Horne with damaging
a railroad bridge which, under an agree
ment between the United States and
Canada, is an extraditabe offense
Another procedure under consideration
was charging the German with destruc-
tiOn of property in this state, as sew
eral windows here were shattered by
the force of the explosion.
The delicacy of the ease and i'm.
minence of international complications
is making state officials proceed with
great caution.
Search is still being continued by
the Canadian authorities on the other
side of the river for the man whom
Van Horne claims was his accomplice.
The German asserts that the man was
an Trishman and that he met him on
the bridge by appointment. He stated
that his accomplice was unknown to
him and that Identification was made
by means of a password.
Only the snow and extreme cold
weather, Van Horne declared, prevented
him from completely demolishing the
bridge.
