BOOZE IS BARRED;
BEER, ALSO WINE
ARE LEFT;;SENATE
GOES ON RECORD
Upper House of Congress is for a
=, ':Bone Dry" Nation During the
".. Period of War.
WOULD CONDEMN ALL BOOZE
NOW HELD IN WAREHOUSES
Estimated Enough Will Be Left on
= Hand to Last Consumers at
Least q Year.

Washington, July 9.-The senate
has gone on record in favor of ''bone
dry" national prohibition during the
war SO far as whisky and other dis
titled beverages are concerned.
+ Liquor legislation which would
intoxfcants by communicating stocks
in bond in addition to absolutely
prohibiting their manufacture or i'm
portation, was written into the food
control bill in one of the senate's
bitterest contests. The beer and
wine industries would be left undis-
turbed
Bar Distilled Liquor.
In lieu of the section Of the house
bill to prohibit the manufacture of
foodstuffs into beverages of any de-
scription, the senate substituted a
provision prohibiting manufacture
and importation of distilled bever-
ages during the war, and added a
further clause directing the presi-
dent to take over all distilled spirits
in government bonded warehouses
and pay for it on the basis of cost
plus 10 per cent.
While the final prohibition .legis-
lation WILDE evolved in conference
between the two houses, it is gener-
ally regarded as possible that the
house will accept the senate's change
after fight in behalf of the orig
inal section.
Buv LIQUOR in Bond.
The senate provision would limit
consumption to stocks in retailers
hands. or withdrawn before the law
goes into effect. Stocks of distilled
beverages in bond were estimated
today at between 2OO,0OO,OOO and
O0.0OO,O00 gallons and the annual
normal consumption at 100000 900
gallons. To purchase this enormous
quantity of linuor or what is left of
it after Withdrawals in anticipation
of legislation. it is estimated that
the government would have to spend
from $300,000,0OO to $1,OOO,0O0,-
900.
The probable loss in federal rev.
enues is placed at from $2OO,OOO,OOO
to $4OO,O00,O00, although this, as
we'll as the cost Of purchase would
depend entirely on how much liquor
was withdrawn tax-paid before the
communicating.
New Revenue Source
The senate's action promises in
definite delay in enacting the war
tax bill. further delay on the food
control bill and indefinite postpone
ment on adjournment of congress.
The revised 81 .67O.OOO.0OO war tax
bill was withdrawn Immediately fol-
lowing the final vote upon the liquor
question to seek new sources of rev.

| liquors is eliminated
