JUDGE finds 2.75 BEER
VIOLATES Federal Law
Any Taxable Beverage, Court De-
cIares, Comes Within the EWi-
dent Intent of Congress.

New YOrk.-In a. decision handed
down here Judge Thomas |. Chattield,
of the United States District Court,
asserted that in his opinion the sale
of 2.75 per cent beer was violation
of the Wartime Prohibition law. The
decree was made in the case Of the
Government against Martin Schmau-
der of New Haven, Conn, who was
charged with selling beer in defiance
of the wartime measure. The case is
one of the two test actions brought
in the Federal District Of Connecticut.
Judge Chatfield is sitting in Connec-
ticut in place of Judge Edwin S.
Thomas, who is conducting a trial In
Brooklyn. The decision of Judge
Chatfield was filed in the District
Court Of Connecticut. Lawyer G. s.
Hamilton, counsel for Schmauder, w, 0
was arrested for selling beer alter
July /, demurred to the Indictment
against his client on the ground that
the information against him did not
specify that the-malt liquor alleged
to have been sold was intoxicating.
Judge Chatfield overruled the demur-
rer and held that the defendant must
plead to the Indictment.
"It is apparent" said Judge Chat
field, "that no court has held that Con-
gress did not intend at the time Of
passing this law to prohibit LAGER
beer containing any amount Of alcohol
content sufficient to make it taxable
by the Revenue department, sufficient
to bring 1t within the general defini-
tion of lager beer as shown from past
experience, and sufficient to bring the
act within the prohibition of the Sc
lective Service law, which prohibited
the sale of any intoxicating liquor, in
Guiding wine and beer.
''Under the Internal Revenue laws
and all standards by which Congress
could have viewed the matter, the
beer described in the present informa-
ton was of the class known as in
toxicating liquor, and as such its sale
was prohibited" ....
Congress has the power at any time
to modify the statute and Congress
has also the power to pass a law
interpreting the statute, If beer which
has a tendency to produce intOXica-.
tion Qn the sense Of affecting control
over the sensibilities, muscles, or emo
tions of an individual but will not
fully intoxicate), is not the substance
intended to be prohibited.

LEAGUE COMPROMISE j. j..
BASED ON TAFT'S VIEWS
Former Presidents Plan for In.
suring Acceptance by Re- +
pubIiCans of Covenant. :

WaShington.-A plan for "interpre-
tatiOns' in Senate acceptance OF the
League of Nations has been suggested
by former President Taft in the hope
of uniting on a middle ground enough
Democratic and Republican Senators
TO defeat any radical amendment OF
the covenant and in the end obtain its
ratification.
The suggestion has been received
with earnest consideration by the
group Of Republicans who favor the
league idea and who already are ut
work on a definite program Of inter.
prctive reservations which they. de-
clare they have reason 70 believe VIII
be. accepted by the Administration.
The Taft suggestions were contained
III a letter written to Mr.. Hays, chair.

stood to contain the following pro.
visions:
First. Provision for retirement from

machinery set up for thar purpose.
Second. Self-governed colonies can:

mine its own obligation, which in the
case of the United States shall be de-
termined by Congress.
Fourth. Differences between the ma:

not TO be submitted to the league.
Fifth. The Monroe Doctrine is de:

Casualties in the Recent Outbreak.

LOndOn.-Eight hundred natives
were killed and 1000 wounded during
the recent disturbances in Egypt, ac-
cording to dispatches from General
E. H. H. Allenby.
Cecil Harmsworth, Under Secretary
of the Foreign Office, made this an
nouncement in the House of Commons:
The casualties to European and
other civilians were: Killed, 81;
wounded, 35. >
The military casualties were: Kill
ed, %; wounded, la.
The death sentence was imposed
upon 80 natives and detention for life
On q. More than 1000 were sentenced
to short terms Of Imprisonment.
The military courts have been dis
pensed with, the sentences which they
imposed being reduced by three
months.
The disorders in Egypt began in the
middle of March and were officially an,
nounced TO have ended at the close of
the third week in April.
They opened on the night of March
t4-15 at Cairo, Alexandria, and places
in Upper Egypt, where British Govern.
ment property was destroyed and the
railways and telegraph lines were cut.
The demonstrations were the work
Of Egyptian Nationalists inspired by
Turkish agents and were particularly
directed against Armenian refugees
and native soldiers and police in the
service of Great Britain.
General Sir Edmund Allenby, the
conqueror Of Syria, was appointed
Special High Commissioner, and bill
for IL more liberal government was in-
troduced in the British Parliament.
Up to the second week in April 1t
was officially reported that 100 per-
sons had been killed and 800 wounded.
General Allenby set to work after
mis- arrival on March q at Cairo. In
proclamation dated April 22 he demand
d that all government employees who
rere absent without leave should re-
turn TO duty or be punished. Who
ever "by threats, persuasion, or WOE
ence" sought to prevent any person
from returning to duty was threatened
with military arrest, trial, and punish
ment. The effect of the proclamation
is said to have been salutary.
One phase Of the insurrection had
been the assassination of individual
soldiers or small groups Of soldiers at
places of amusement. In such cases
everybody present was arrested, but
before this could be done those who
resisted arrest were shot.
The Sultan on May 21, with the as
sistance Of General Allenby, formed
new cabinet, with Mahomed Said
Pasha as Prime Minister. There had
been none since HuSsein Rushdi
Pasha's Government had laid down its
portfolio on April %. Mahomed Said
is strongly pro-British and active, as
are his colleagues. He is disciple OF
Cr0mer and Kitchener.
The military courts established by
General Allenby have been active since
their Inauguration. Up to June Is
light sentences had been pronounced,
with seven combinations, and over
one hundred lesser sentences, with
about the same percentage committed.
Fines were levied to the extent OF
S1,O07,310 OH various villages, to be
collected on the basis of the gattir tax,
which affects every household.
