WASHINGTON, D. c., June 20
A determined effort to modify the 1000

will be free from any prohibition pro-
vision or at least so as to grant the
president authority to permit the use
of food stuff in the manufacture Ok

Senator Gerry, Of Rhode Island. 9th
er conferences probably will follow

feel that the insistence of some Sena
tors on bone dry legislation endan.
gered the early passage Of the food
bill, which he is anxious to see be-
come a law as soon as possible.
Administration leaders we're Aatd also
to feel that such legislation would be
a disturbing factor IN the economic life
of the country and might lead to seri-
Gus discomfort among workers whose
whole hearted support is necessary to
win the war.
The President realizes that since
prohibition has been made an issue IN
Congress it is almost impossible to
hope for the elimination of some sort
of prohibatory provision from the food
bill.
Although officials do not pretend to
speak for him it was understood the
President would be willing to accept
a measure under which the use of food
stuff and fruit in manufacture Of beter-
age alcohol was forbidden but with
authority given him to permit t1eir
use in making beer and light wines.
The importance of this issue has
overshadowed many others in the
Presidents mind and there we're indi-
cations today that every effort would
be used to have Congress realize that
tie administration considered the dan.
ger of radical and sweeping legisla-
ton at this time.
Postmaster General Burleson who
often represents the President in con.
ferring with Congressman, went to tho
White House today and urged several
Senate leaders to modify the bill tc
permit the manufacture of beer and
wines. The Postmaster General was
said to have told Senators the Presi-
dent does not desire to curb OF divide
public sentiment during the war by
cutting off the consumption of light
alcoholic beverages in general use ana
that such prohibition is unnecessary
as 1t would consume comparatively
small quantities of food. Provision to
stop manufacture of distilled spirits
Mr.. Burlesoi told the Senators was
not Objectionable to the President.
President Wilson, according to SEN
ator Phelan, of California, with whom
he conferred regarding the prohibition
Legislation, desired that he have au-
thority to stop the manufacture of
malt and vineous liquors in case OF
emergency but does not believe imme-
date prohibition of their manufacture
is necessary or desirable.

JUDGE SDSTAINS
JDST|CE;;POUELL
WILL CO HIGHER
Opinion Handed Down ii
Attack Upon Second
Yost Law Bond.

Judge Raymond this morning sus'
tanned the action of Justice Musgrove
in demanding second bond from
i"Kid" Lewis, the negro who was given
a preliminary hearing before the JUS
tice some days ago on a charge of hav'
ing broken the Yost law,
Attorney Charles Powell who de-
Tended the negro, challenged the right
of the justice to demand the bond and
took the matter before Judge Hay
mond yesterday. Powell maintained
that under Section thirty.one of the
Yost law, which covers the offense for
which the negro was arrested, no
provision is made for the justice de-
manding a second bond for good be-
havier prior to the examination OF the
accused by the grand jury.
In Section ten, however, which pro
vided for the examination by justice
of an individual upon the discovery Of
intoxicating liquors in his possession,
the statement is made that the justice
shall demand second bond of the &C
cused If he valves hearing before the
grand ury, leaving the ustice no choice
in the matter.
Judge Raymond announced as his
opinion that, although the man was
arrested under Section thirty-one, the
case was covered by Section ten, which
is the only section Of the entire law
that provides for a preliminary exam
ination before justice Of the peace
and that therefore Justice MusgroVe
was within his authority in demanding
the bond and consigning the man t.
Jail upon his failure to give the bond
Another point which the Judge EN-
phasized very strongly in his lengthy
announcement of his decision was the
statement made in Section twenty
three of the law to the effect that the
entire law is to be literally construed
as a police regulation to protect the
morals and welfare Of the people of the
state.
Immediately upon the announcement
of the decision Attorney Powell an
nounced his intention of carrying the
matter to the Supreme court for re
view Of the case and a final test Of the
prohibitory law, which he declared
does not really prohibit inasmuch as
the clause relative to the bringing int
the state Of no more than quart 9
month for personal use may be con
srued to mean that one is at liberty tc
bring more than that for other thar
personal use.
In his address before the Judge yes
terday Attorney Powell stated his in
vestigations and prosecution Of the
case were carried on with the interests
and welfare of the people and of the
prohibitory law at heart.

afternoon and officers will be elected
to serve the ensuing year.
. The organization of the local chap
ter was perfected in July, 1916, and
Miss Virginia Watson Fleming was

ton. 1t is desired that she be reflect

full service, but so far Miss Fleming
has declined to accept the nomination
giving as the reason other pressing
duties which demand her attention.
In case Miss Fleming cannot be pre-
vailed upon to again act as president
jof the organization, several other
names of prominent members will be
considered.
An interesting exhibit of the work
accomplished by the society during the
months of its existence was shown to
the members of the organization who
were present this afternoon. The dis
play was a revelatinn to large numbers
who did not realize what a great

The large room on the third floor Of
the city hall is an ideal place for the
