Liquor interests.

Washington. Aug. 27.-President
Wilson, senate prohibition leaders de-
clared, Is not opposed to legislation
pending in the senate proposing ma
tional prohibition during the war, but
has suggested that the proposed time
for its becoming effective-January l
next-be extended. Negotiations to
that end, 1t was said seemed to assure
an agreement for the passage Of the
bill, and also for some extension OF
time to liquor interests.
Later. after much cloakroom nego-
tiation. leaders said the prohibition
supporters had agreed to fix July j
next as the date when prohibition
would become effective. Although
some of the bills opponents were de-
mandlng a longer extension, represent
atives Of both factions said 1t APP
peared probable that July l finally
would be agreed to.
Sheppard at White House.
Senator Sheppard of Texas mana
ger Of the prohibition bill, stated, fol-
lowing a recent conference at the
White House, that the president did
not object to action by congress on
the legislation, but discussed extend
ing the effective date of the restric-
tions. July /, 1919, was the new date
suggested.
According to Senator Sheppard the
burs opponents concede its passage
and the only question at issue now Is
the time when It will become effective.
The new date, it was said, would
not interfere with government revenue
collections on liquor for the fiscal year
and thus avoid redraftlng the war rev.
enue bill, which is based on estimated
returns, of about S9OO000,0O0 from
intoxiCants.
