PRESCRIPTION NECESSARY
FOR ALCOHOL SAYS COURT
JUDGE UPHOLDS OPINION OF
WASCO GRAND JURY AND
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

THE DALLES, Ore, May 25.-The
position OF the Wasco county grand
jury is that the state prohibition law
is unconstitutional insofar as it all
lows the purchase or ethyl alcohol
without physicians prescription.
District Attorney Bell and Circuit
Judge Bradshaw uphold this opinion.
Local druggists have been notified
that hereafter they will be prosecuted
II they sell ethyl alcohol without first
securing a Doctors prescription writ
ten for the purchaser.
This situation resulted from the
grand jury investigation of 10 cases
of alleged perjury. Ten prisoners had
been charged with falsely swearing to
affidavlts to get alcohol for drinking
purposes instead of external use" Of
flcials here contend that the constitu-
tional prohibition amendment as ad-
opted by the people, stipulated that
ethyl alcohol should not be sold with
out prescriptions of physicians, but
that the legislature in framing the ne
cessary law, failed to incorporate this
provision.

TURNED DOWN.

WASHINGTON. May 25.-The ore

WASHINGTON. May 25.-when
Wilson moves toward peace he will
act in behalf Of all Europe and not
a single group Of nations. This was
told to callers at the white house to-
day and the president may cover this
point in his address on Saturday be-
fore the League to Enforce Peace.
The president discussed his position
freely, indicating that he is basing his
attitude on a vast amount Of informa-
ton from various sources. He did not
disclose anything as forecasting an
immediate step in behalf Of peace. It
is understood that the president ia
vors having congress pass a resolu-
ton providing for calling a conference
of all nations after the war to adopt
plans of preventing a recurrence Of
hostilities.
