House Inserts Drastic Prohibi-
ton Amendments.
PRESIDENT HAS BROAD POWERS
Use Of Grains in Manufacture Of Alec.
hol or Alcoholic Beverages For ,
hidden for Duration Of War.

Washington, D. C. - The admins.
tration food control bill, giving the
president broad authority to control
the distribution of food, feed and fuel
for war purposes and appropriating
1852, 100000 for it's enforcement and
administration, was passed by the
house after farreaching prohibition
provisions had been written into it.
The vote was 365 to 5. Representa-
tives McLemore, Slayden and Young
of Texas. Democrats, and Weeker,
Missouri, and Ward, New York. Re-
publicans, voting in the negative.
Prohibition provision adopted would
prevent use of foodstuffs for manufac.
ture of alcoholic beverages and would
give the president authority to take
over for war purposes all liquor now
on hand. The bill now goes to the
senate, where it probably will be sub
stituted early this week for a similar
measure already under consideration.
Leaders hope to get the measure to
conference by July 1.
oSv0TAt IWROtI dOt NNdN3SSs
The most important changes made
by sthe house outside the prohibition
section were limiting the control pow
ers of the president to articles speci-
fically mentioned by the bill and SUBJ
jecting voluntary aids in control work
to the penal provision. The text Of
the Barley amendment follows:
mo person shall use any food, food
materials or feeds in the production
of alcohol or of alcoholic beverages,
except for government, industrial
scientific or sacramento purposes.
Any persons who willfully violates this
section shall. upon conviction thereof.
ing $1,000 or by imprisonment for not
more than two years or both"
There was hot debate over the
prohibition features. Vets and drys
accused each other Of unfairness.
An amendment was adopted provid.
ing that all persons employed in ad-
ministration Of the food law, except
those serving without compensation,
shall be appointed under civil service
law. -,
President Can Seize Liquors.
After several hours of parliamentary
sparring the prohibition element got
the upper hand and forced adoption Of
amendments forbidding use Of any
foodstuffs during the war for making
intoxicants and giving the president
authority to take over in his discre.
ton all stocks OF distilled liquors.
The amendment designed to cut off
manufacture of liquors was adopted,
1872 to ia. 1t was submitted by Rep
resentative Barley of Kentucky, Dem.
ocrat, and would provide that no food,
food material or feed, could be used
during the war for the manufacture Of
alcohol or alcoholic beverages except
for governmental, industrial, scientific,
medicinal or sacramento purposes.
On the amendment authorizing gov.
eminent use of distilled spirits there
was no roll call and only few scat
tering nays were heard on the viva
voce vote. Originally proposed by
Representative Webb of North Carroll.
ma it was accepted by Chairman L.
yer of the agriculture committee and
was adopted on his motion. =

Washington, June 26.-Oversub
scription of the Red Cross 500, 900 ,OOt
mercy fund seemed assured when the
eight-day nationwide campaign closed
with final rallies in hundreds of Ameri
can cities.
The country's total, outside of New
York city, was $6O,650, 900 and pledges
still were pouring in at the rate Of
about 100000 an hour. New York
city's total is believed to be near $40,
100000, the city's quota.
All through the week additions will
be made to the fund, for campaign
committees in a number Of cities gath
cred so much momentum that they in
sisted on continuing the canvass be
yond the fixed time.
Ten million dollars of apparent over
subscription may be necessary. it was
said, to make the actual collections
equal 100000, 900. owing to the posi-
bility of duplicate recording of some
corporation Red Cross dividends al
their source and also in the locality
where stockholders live.
Just as the campaign was closing
the first actual money reached the
Red Cross treasury by aerial messen
ger. Miss Katherine Stinson. a young
airwoman, descending on the capital
at the end of two-day flying trip
from Buffalo, Albany, N. Y, and Phila
delphia, carried to Secretary McAdoo
treasurer of the Red. Cross. money
and pledges gathered from cities she
visited. a
. Alighting near the Washington mon
ument Miss Stinson was taken in an
automobile by a Washington women's
Red Cross motor corps to the south
steps of the treasury, where Secretary
McAdoo and a great throng of sight
seers were waiting.
- "You have made remarkable and
daring trip" the secretary said as he
took the envelope containing the
checks and pledges.
