LEGISLATION TO BE CON
FINED TO DISTILLED
BEVERAGES.
Manufacture OF Brew I 1T
Made Milwaukee Famous to
Continue.

Washington, June -Interven-
ton of President Wilson on Friday
checked the "bone-dry" national pro
hibition movement in Congress. Con
finement of prohibition legislation to
distilled beverages without interfer-
ence with manufacture of beer and
wines, it is generally agreed, will re-
suit.
Prohibition leaders were asked by
the president, in order to prevent de
lay in passing the food control bill,
to drop their fight against the manu-
facture of beer, wines and other
light intoxicants With formal re-
sponse from the "drys" deferred,
Senate leaders of all factions quickly
reached an understanding to limit alb
solute prohibition to distilled spirits
President Wilson exchanged letters
with the Rev. DR.. James Cannon
chairman of the National Anti-Sa-
loon Leagues legislative committee,
and called Senate leaders to the
White House in his effort to harmon
ize differences and smooth the way
for final enactment of the food meas
ure. "Bone-dry" legislation was
written in the bill before it passed
the House and the Senate agricul-
tural committee amended the provis
ion to prohibit the manufacture of
distilled spirits, but empowering the
president to permit the making Of
beer and wine,
In his letter to DR.. Cannon the
president said Senator Martin, demo-
cratic leader had asked him to ex.
press his views on the food-liquor
legislation regarding ''the wisest and
most patriotic policy, to be pursued, "
and added:
81 regard the immediate passage
of the bill as Of vital consequence to
the safety and defense of the nation.
Time is of essence, and yet is has
become evident that heated and pro-
tracted debate will delay the passage
Of the bill indefinitely if the proyis-
ions affecting the manufacture Of
beer and wines are retained and in
sisted upon. In these circumstances
| have not hesitated to say to mem
bers of the Senate who were kline
enough to consult me that 1t would
undoubtedly be in the public Interest
in this very critical matter of the
friends of those provisions should
consent to their elimination from thC
present measure. Feeling that your
committee is actuated by the same
patriotic motives which inspire me
am confident that these considera
tions will seem to you, as they seen
70 me, to be imperative"

COLUMBUS LUMBER COM
PANY HOPES TO SE-
CURE BIG ORDER.
Lack of Transportion Facili-
ties Is Seriously Hindering
Shipments.

Mr.. d. F. Mccullough, manager of
the Columbus Lumber Company, has
returned from New Orleans, whittier
he went to consult with officials Of
the Southern Pine Emergency Asso-
citation with the view of securing
contracts for lumber to be used in
the construction of ships for the gov
ernment.
The Southern Pine Emergency AS
sociation was formed for the purpose
of taking care of government orders
for lumber by apportioning them
among various mills throughout the
south. Contracts have already been
awarded to a number of mills in West
Alabama, but so far no orders have
been given the local mill. 1t seems
that there is some difference of
opinion regarding prices, but it is
! believed that an agreement will soon
be reached, and Mr.. Mccullough
hopes soon to secure large order.
The Columbus Lumber Company
is one of the largest concerns of its
Echaracter in this section. It is owned
BY capitalists who reside at Detroit
Mich, and Mr.. Mccullough is the
secretary and manager The com.
pany already has large number of
commercial orders on hand and the
planning mill is being kept running
night and day in order to increase
the output. Mr.. Mccullough is anx-
ious to serve the government, how
ever, and states that whatever orders
he may receive for lumber to be
used in the construction of ships will
be promptly executed.
The Columbus Lumber Company
like all other similar concerns in this
section, has suffered materially fol-
several months past through lack OF
transportation facilities. A few weeks
ago nine thousand freight cars were
released for distribution among va
rious railroads throughout the south
These cars, however, have practically
all been loaded and sent back north
and transportation difficulties are
now about as they were before thu
release of these cars.
