BONE DRY" ACT
KILLS STATE LAW
ACCORDING TO RULING OF DE-
PARTMENT OF JUSTICE, IN CON-
STRUNG REED AMENDMENT.
No Longer Are West Virginians Al.
lowed One Quart Of Liquor Per
Month-State Authorities Denied
Provisions of New Act.

Especial Charleston Correspondence)
Charleston.-Wes Virginia is to be-
come bone dry under the provisions
OF the Reed amendment, which be-
came effective July 1, although the
state prohibitory laws prohibit the i'm
portation ,of more than one quart Of
intoxicants into the state in period
of 80 consecutive days. The new Fed
eral amendment will prohibit even the
carriage of that amount of liquor as
personal baggage into the arid realms
OF West Virginia.
Special Agent Arthur ]. Devlin re-
ceived telegram from b. A. Bruce
Bielaski, Chief of the Bureau of Ii
vestigation, of the Department of Jus
tice, advising that the Reed amend
ment would prohibit the carriage into
the state of one quart of intoxicants if
the state prohibited the manufacture
and sale, and as the state law does
prohibit the manufacture and sale, per-
sons can not carry into the state even
one quart.
Until the department at Washington
had ruled on the conflict between the
state and Federal laws, the state and
Federal authorities in West Virginia
have not sought to enforce the Federal
act. II. F. Willis. arrested at Hunting
ton, July l, charged with violation of
the Federal act for bringing a pint of
liquor into the state was released un-
ill a ruling had been made by the
Washington authorities. State Prohi-
bition Commissioner Walter S. Hal
ianan, in the absence OF the depart
mental ruling, instructed the prohibit.
tion deputies to enforce only the state
law, which prohibited the carriage OF
more than one quart of liquor.

SUGAR TO COME DOWN OCT. l..
Prices to Take "Humpty Dumpty' Oct
/; Three Pounds for Quarter Then.

Prices to Take "Humpty Dumpty" Oct
| I; Three Pounds for Quarter Then.
| Chicago, Sept. 15.-Don't hoard
sugar. Prices are coming down aftel
| Oct l. upon which date the food ad
ministration will take over supervisor
of the industry. Sugar after that tim;
! should not cost over three pounds fol
a Quarter.
! This announcement came IRON
Harry A. Wheeler. the federal food ad
illustrators representative in illinois
yesterday. Along with it came the
| official statement that all refneries OF
the country will be licensed beginning
! Oct. I.
Gladdening to the heart Of the house
wife was the announcement that sugar
refiners have agreed upon maximum
price Of 1925 per hundred pounds at
New York, New Orleans and San
Francisco. To this is added the freight
rate in figuring the price of other
cities. This is small item.
In addition the wholesalers have
agreed to abide by fixed profit and
the retailers will also be asked to limit
their profits. 1t is figured that this
| should bring sugar down to at least S1a
| cents pound, or nearly u cents low
er than the price at which it has re-
! Gently been selling.
Sugar hoarders and spectators will
| be rendered harmless when the gov
| eminent takes control. There will be
| no necessity for boarding, because the
government will control distribution
| and there can be no shortage.
It is pointed out by the food admin
| istraton that the worlds shortage OF
sugar is small and confined exclusive
| ly to Europe. Sugar production thru
| out the world this, year is figured at
1869, 900 tons compared with 1912, 900
| tons for a five-year-average. -..
While sugar consumption in the first
six months of this year increased to
2,65O,O0O tons from 2,394,OOO tons in the
same period last year in this country,
due probably to the canning campaign,
there will be no lack Of saccharine.
The government will take control OF
the raw sugar from Cuba, which this
year is expectedi5to produce 100000
tons. IN additton there will be $4,000
4 tons from Hawaittnd 10000 tons from
the Philippines and 100000 tons in
Java, if needed. fsr.-.
| The beet sugar crop in this country Is
expected to be the largest in history
and will amount to approximately L.
100000 tons as against 724,00O tons for
the five year average, according to gov
eminent figures The domestic cane
crop will be about 100000 tons against
S241,O00 tons.
The proclamation Of the President
| licensing sugar refiners will cover all
| manufacturers, refiners or importers of
| sugar, including also syrup and molass-
es makers.
