Sen. Sheppard Announces Pres. VIII
son Opposes Further Restrictions.

Washington. June 5.-Further pro-
hibition legislation by congress at this
time appears unlikely after an an
nouncement by Senator Sheppard, Of
Texas, that President Wilson opposed
action unless it should be recommend
ed by Food Administrator Hoover.
Mr.. Sheppard said today he had
learned Mr.. Hoover also opposes ex-
tention of prohibition.
Both President Wilson and Mr..
Hoover. according to Senator Shep-
pard. believe little foodstuffs would be
saved by extending prohibition to
manufacturers of beer and wines.
With about 100.000,000 gallons of
whisky lin the warehouses. he said,
both the executive and food admins
traitor take the position that to abol-
ish manufacture Of beer and wines
virtually would put the consumers of
alcoholic beverages on a whisky basis.

No word has been received from the
other ten booths scattered over the

The number that will register at

one-third of the total number of reg

large number of booths scattered over
the county and the fact that only
about 155 men will register, the work
this year is made much lighter than
