Never Came Back
Harbor Nan Most obnging Chap the

Joe's story didn't impress the

IF somebody had asked him to
carry a trunk and Joe had carried
it around for several blocks. Judge
Klotz might have had some faith in
the yarn
But
Joe Azama of the Indiana Har-
bor hotel was arrested by OFFICER
Singer OF the Hammond police on
Holman street yesterday charged
with violating the liquor law.
Azama. who had two gallons Of
old red-eye in satchel. told Judge
Klotz that he did not know who the
whiskey belonged to. He swore
that a stranger had come UP 20 him
and asked him to hold the satchel for
him and that he was only standing
there waiting for the stranger to
come back.
Which he never did.
But as this was too much for the
court he fined Azama s110 and gave
him a thirty day jail sentence.
Il he hadn't done SO Joe might
have been still standing there wait
ing for the stranger.

INTRODUCE BILL

The New House Bill Places

DEFINES A DRUGGIST
Republican Members of COMMITTEES
Are Against Repeal of War
Time Prohibition

WASHINGTON, May 29-Repre-
sentative Andrew j. Volstead of Min
nesota, chairman of the judiciary
committee has introduced bill in
the House to enforce war time and
national prohibition. Other mem
bers of the same committee, Repre-
sentatives Gard of Ohio and Steele
Of Pennsylvania, presented measures
to repeal wartime prohibition in ac-
cordance with President Wilson's rec
concentrations.
This action foreshadows sharp
division of opinion in the committee,
with indications that both bills will be
reported promptly. Republican
members of the committee are against
repeal of wartime prohibition and it
is probable that Representative Vol
stead's bill will be reported favorably.
MI. Volstead's bill, prepared with
the assistance of counsel for the anti
saloon league carefully defines intox-
icants and it is very stringent in its
provisions. The essential provisions
of the bill follow:
"That the word liquor or the
phrase Intoxicating liquor used in
this act shall be construed to include
any distilled, malt, spirituous, vinous
fermented, or alcoholic liquor con-
tanning one half of one per centum al
cohol, by volume and all alcoholic
liquors and compounds, whether med
/
icated, proprietary, patented or not,
and by whatever name called which
are potable or capable of being nsed
as beverage.
"The phrase. war prohibition act
used in this act shall mean the pro-
visions of any act or acts prohibiting
the sale or manufacture of intoxicat-
ing liquors during the war and dur
ing the perpiod of rehabilitation.
The word person wherever used in
this act, shall mean and include nat
ural persons, firms, co-partnerships,
corporations, and all associations or
combinations or persons whatever
acting by themselves or by servant,
agent or employee. The word, com
missioner shall mean prohibition
commissioner The words court COM
missioner shall mean a commissioner
Of the United States district or cir
cult court of appeals.
"Any act authorized to be done by
the commissioner may be performed
by any assistant or agent designated
by him for that purpose. Records
required to be filed with the COM
missioner or other person designated
by the commissioner to receive such
records. The word permit shall
mean permit granted blu. such COM
when referring to a retail druggist
shall mean a druggist who sells alco-
holic liquors only by a regularly reg
istered pharmacist.
"That there shall be in the depart
ment of the treasury a prohibition
commissioner who shall be appointed
by the secretary; the prohibition as
sistants or agents as he may deem
necessary"
