ELIMINATE SEARCH
AND SEIZURE CLAUSE

Washington. August 2.-rt will be
permissible to make wine. cider and
other beverages from fruits in the
home for personal consum ption un
der the prohibition enforcement
as amended by the subcom-
mitee OF the enate Judiciary com
mittee today.
No restriction upon the amount OF
alcohol these beverages ma contain
is made in the bill, so that If the
cider turns hard" and the wine. Is
up to the standard OF the prohibition
era ii will be no offense to have 1t or
drink 1t.
Another i'm portant change made in
the house bill by the senate commit
tee was the elimination Of the search
and seizure clause. which would have
permitted the seizure OF private stocks
of liquors where II was suspected or
proven that liquors were being sold
In violation of the law The senate
com not only struck this clause
from tho bill but inserted a new pro-
vision expressly forbidding agents OF
The enforcement law from entering
upon private property or making any
effort to seize liquor in private storage.
The action of the. house in fixing
the alcoholic content Of beverages at
One-half OF n per cent was sustain
ed by the senate subcommittee.
This destroys the hope Of the brew
cry interests that the bill as reported
to the senate might contain 4 provi-
sion which would legalize the manu-
facture of ATS per cent beer.

Gus OF establishing friendly relations

peace with Hungary or assist In her
Industrial and economic reconstruction
unless a government was established
that would respect the terms OF the

Congressman Flood
Looks After Farmer
Introduces Bill to Investigate
Increased Cost Of Machinery
and Fertilizers.

Washington, August 1.-Two meas
ures designed TO bring relief from the
high cost Of living were introduced
In the house today. One, a resolu-
ton by Representative Flood. OF Vir-
ginia. proposes an investigation the
federal trade commission of the In
creased cost of farm machinery and
fertilizers Prices OF those commodt-
ties. Mr.. Flood said, have SCARED be-
yond the relative prices received by
the farmers for their products
The other was a bill by Represen-
tative Summers, Democrat. Of Texas.
which would authorize the secretary OF
agriculture 10 establish a farm pro-
duce exchange with as many branches
as are necessary in order to afford a
medium through which farm products
could be econically and systematically
distributed.
Discussing his bill. Mr.. Summers
said:
by standardizing agricultural pro-
ducts. their description would be
translated into a universally under
stood trade language and they would
thereby be given a commercial status
everywhere. while physically still ri
the point of origin.
The produce exchange system pro-
vtded for would make II possible for
every market to eak 4n40 <fux3frg re.
lationshtp with every source OF sup.
ply and every shipping unit OF any
community, to have access to every
market
The imposition Of the obligation ia
accept according OF bid and to de-
liver according TO OFFER, as a con
dttion precedent and the intermediary
supervision and inspection provided
in the bill would insure the neecs-
eary mutual confidence that there
would be integrity of transaction.
Commodities would move under
proior sale from the point of origin
to the point of use by the shortest
and best economic routs, in quality
and quantity. In accord with the de-
mand for use"

Even High Cost of Living Not
to Sidetrack the Work of

Washington. Aug. 2.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the attention Of con-
sress has been peremptorily diverted

ished force.
This was announced today by men,

The committee announced that 1t will
hear the statements Of Norman Davis
and Thomas w. Lamont on Monday in
reference to the economic clauses In
the treaty. Both were associated with
n American peace mission in Paris
as financial advisers.
II is understood that after Messrs.
Lamont and Davis ave been heard.
Secretary Lansing will be called. One
subject upon which the committee will

aid in enforcing the Saar Basin ar
rhngement n also the Dantxtg decf-
sion. Some members Of the committee
are Of h opinion the United States

tons covering the important points In
