Washington, July s.-Prohibition

to seek changes in the pending Nor
ris amendment to the emergency ag-
ricultural appropriation bill so as to
prohibit the sale of whisky, beer or

As reported to the senate the Nor
ris amendment prohibits the sale or
withdrawal from bond of distilled
spirits and the manufacture of wine
except for export after June so, 1919.
II would forbid the manufacture Of
beer three months after approval of
the bill by the president.
Senator Norris OF Nebraska, Sena-
tor Hendricks Of Wyoming and other

make the period six months for all
intoxicants. If a recess Is taken to-
morrow, as planned. they will make
their fight for the change as soon as
