Manufacture Of Beer To Be
Stopped 3 Months After
Bill Passed
SENATE COMMITTEE
FAVORS MEASURE, s:3
Wine And Whiskey Would be
Barred By Bill After
Jnne, 1919

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Tne en-
tire prohibition question will be
fought out on the floor of the senate
The Agricultural Committee, by a
vote OF s to 3 today incorporated in
the agricultural appropriation bill, as
substitute for the Jones amendment
another drafted by Senator Norris,
which prohibits the sale of whiskey
or wine, or the manufacture of wine,
in the United States, after June 80,
1919. 1t also provides That the man
ufacture of beer in the United States
shall cease three months after the
passage of the bill.
The Norris substitute is regarded
as a concession to financial interests
of the country. Representatives of
banking interests told the committee
it is estimated there in S500,0OO,0 900
worth of whisky in bond in the coun-
try on which they have paper valued
at s25O,OOO,OOO.
If the sale of this whisky should
be summarily stopped, they contend
ed, it would force into bankruptcy a
number of banks that kave loaned
heavily on it.
Senator Gore, chairman of the ag-
ricultural committee, plans to report
the agricultural appropriation bill, to
which the prohibition legislation is
attached, tomorrow.

BEGIN REBUILDING G
ROCK LEVEE BRIDGE
Span Across Diversion Channel
Not Likely to be Finished
For Weeks.

The reconstruction of the tempo
rary bridge across the big diversion
channel on the Rock Levee Road has
been started following the completion
of the temporary span across the
Dutchtown road near Blomeyer. Sew
eral teams and a gang of workmen
have been hauling the piling for the
bridge. 1t is believed the temporary
structure will not be completed with
in less than two or three weeks.
Owing to the shortage Of help the
work is progressing slowly. A bridge
has been put over the small ditch
the Vogelsang Bros. Construction Co.
that has contract for furnishing the
rock for the Rock Levee Road.
The temporary bridge across the
drainage channel below Dutcntown
was completed about a week ago, but
traffic has been permitted to cross the
bridge more than two weeks. The re-
construction of this bridge was begun
first for the reason that the work
would require two weeks less time
and it was the endeavor Of the coun-
ty officers to re-establish connection
with Scott County. ~

Will Decide Today What Steps
To Take to Induce Company
To Locate Here.

A meeting of the presidents of the
banks of this city was held yester-
day afternoon at the executive Offices
of the Commercial Club for the pur-
pose of considering the financing Of
the American China Co., which ex-
poets to establish a factory in OF
near this city within a short time. A
definite decision in this matter will
be reached this afternoon when the
bankers meet again.
The purpose of the meeting was
primarily to discuss whether any
funds should be raised for the initial
expenses Of bringing the factory to
this city. 1t is customary, members
Of the Commercial Club who are
sponsoring the new enterprise, say.
to offer some financial inducements
for an outside firm that wants te
locate a branch factory here.
According to the information that
has been sent to the Commercial
Club, the china factory will employ
at least 200 men and women. Cape
Girardeau is considered a favorable
location for the factory for the reason
that the material required for the
production of the chinaware is said
to be in the immediate vicinity of this
city.
No site has as yet been selected
for the new factory, but it mas beer
suggested to erect the building i'm
mediately south of the city where
number of other factories have beer
in operation for years.

LADIES MAKE GOOD
In SAVINGS WORK
County Chairman Not Yet Ger.
tain That Quota Has Been
Reached.

The work of the women and the
response they are getting in the War
Savings canvass are very gratifying,
according to S. T. Neely, county
chairman of the War Savings Com
mittee.
Definite figures cannot yet be given
to show now near Cape Girardeau is
to her quota of s25O,OOO, of which on
lv $4,000 was taken during the first
half of the campaign.
In order to know where the govern
ment stands, it is necessary to know
how many stamps each person al
ready owns. In some cases people
have refused to answer this question
going on the old-time presumption
that "This is my business and what's
nv business is nobody's else busl-
ness"
The chairman of the county War
Savings Committee received an Off
cial appointment from the Secretary
of the Treasury to deputize such peo-
pie as he sees fit to do the work that
the government needs to have done IN
this campaign. The women can
vassers are consequently duly author
lied agents of the United States gov
ernment, duly authorized to ask an
swers to the questions on the pledge
cards.

saws, "for anyone refusing to let his
government or the people that make
up and control that government
know how many government bond
or stamps he owns unless it is be-
cause he doesn't own enough of them
Answers to this question will be in
sisted upon as something due the gov
eminent and the public.
