SENATE DECLARES
FOR DRY NATION
Votes IS to g on Partial
Prohibition During War.
Tackled ONTO SPY MEASURE
Penalty for Violation $4,000 Fine
or Three Years in Prison.

By a vote OF IS to 30 the Senate late
yesterday adopted an amendment TO
the Gregory espionage bill, providing
partial prohibition for the period Of
the war.
The amendment, introduced by
Senator Cummins OF Iowa, provides
that on and after September 1, and
during the period of the war, II shall
be unlawful to use or employ directly
or Indirectly any cereal. grain, sugar.
or syrup in the production of intOxi-
eating liquor in any form or of any
kind. providing that the law not be
construed to prohibit the use OF sugar
or syrup in the manufacture OF wines
and further provided that the section
shall not be construed to make unlaw.
full the manufacture OF alcohol or in
toXicating liquors for mechanical,
medicinal, sacramento. or scientific
purposes, under rules and regulations
to be prescribed by the Secreta y of
the Treasury.
A violation of the section will be
punished by a fine OF not more than
$4,000 or imprisonment OF not more
than three years or both under the
new law.
Passage OF the amendment was pre-
ceded by a regular orgy OF prohibi
ton debate in the Senate, which ell
dured for five hours. Amendments 10
the Cummins amendment were intro
dIced in large number. but all except
those making minor changes in the
Thraseology we're rejected.
Senators Stone and Reed. of Mis-
souri,, fought skillfully by debate and
subtle amendments to defeat the
amendment.
At the last minute Senator Gronns
offered a substitute in the form of a
drastic prohibition bill, which would
have stopped entirely the manufac.
ture of all intoXicants and would re
quire the Redistribution of liquor now
on hand into alcoholic spirits needed
in ammunition manufacture. This

The House vote rejecting the con-
ference report and instructing its
conferees to agree to the Roosevelt
amendment was 215 to lis. Forty
five Democrats voted with the ma
jority OF the Republicans for the
Roosevelt amendment and thirty Re-
publicans voted against the Colonefs

CONGRESSMAN LenrOot told the
! House he had been present at a time

A large part Of the Cuban crop Is

Under the plan. SO far as is known
here, the buying for Americs will be
fer the Allies as well. This will keep
England and France out of the Cuban
market, and will have the effect of
reducing composition for this part Of
the worlds supply. However, the
Cuban raw sugar will not como into

plainly the endeavor Of the food ad-
