DENIES CONGRESS CAN
DEFINE INTOXICANTS
Untermyer Tells Senators
Jury Must Decide.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE right of
Congress 10 define intoxicating beverages
was denied to-day by Samuel Inter
myer, the New York lawyer, in testifying
before the Senate Judiciary sub-commit-
tee. which is considering prohibition en-
forcement legislation.
Mr.. Untermyer told the committee that
neither under the war time prohibition
act nor the constitutional amendment
could Congress say that any particular
percentage of alcohol content constituted
an intoxicating liquor. Both the act and
the amendment, he argued, left this a
question OF fact which could be deter
mined only before jury.
In support OF his contention that beer

Ethan Allen, manager of the Atlantic
division of the American Red Cross. said
yesterday that word has been received
by the Red Cross from Rumana in con-
firmation of the report that Queen Marie
Is soon to visit America. Letters from
Red Cross workers in Bucharest and
other cities mention the Queens purpose
and her especial interest in American
affairs. She desires to visit the United
States to express personally her appre-
citation OF what America has done for
Rumania through the Red Cross, the Re-
lief Administration and in many other
governmental and private ways.

Il do not want to be interrupted"
commented Mr.. Kahn grimly, especially
by my colleague from California.
There is great deal of hypocrisy
and cant and hysteria in this country

drinking man. but there are men who
drink infinitely more than l do who are
shouting their heads off to-day all over
the country for prohibition.
II have always opposed prohibition
legislation for two reasons. first, such
legislation holds out to the world an in
dictment against the American people
holds them up as nation of inebriates
who cannot curb their appetites. 1 deny
such to be the case.
Second, II Is mistake TO say that
prohibitory legislation makes for obedi-

HOUSE READY FOR
TEST ON DRY BILL
Attempts to Amend and to
Strike Out Section One
Due Tomorrow.
"wET" STRENGTH GROWS
Radical Prohibitionists Get
ting Nervous, Debates
Indicate.
specidl Despatch TO THE Sun.

WASHINGTON, July 12.--Decks were
cleared to-day for the first real test on
Monday OF the anti-volstead strength in
the House on the prohibition question.
General debate was completed and read
Ing of the bill for amendment under the
Ave minute rule progressed to the point
where the first and most important trial
Of strength will be made on attempts TO
amend and strike out section l of the
war time prohibition title Of the bill.
These motions will be first in the order
Of business when the House meets Mon
day.
The closing hour OF general debate de-
veloped some additional strength for the
''moderates," one more Southern dry
Representative Hardy (Texas) - an
nouncing that he would vote to strike
out the war time prohibition title in the
-ell on the ground that as war does not
now exist and as Congress depended on
war time powers for the authority to en-
act war time prohibition the law is now
unconstitutional. as is any law seeking
to supplement or enforce II.
Probably the first motion when the
House goes into committee of the whole
on the Volstead bill will be offered by
Representative Longworth (Ohio) to
strike out the prohibition title This
motion then will be held pending while
attempts 10 amend and perfect section
| OF title 1 are acted upon. These
amendments will include. of course, one
substituting the indefinite language OF
the original war time prohibition act and
Of the constitutional amendment for the
phraseology which defines an intoxicat-
ing liquor as any beverage containing
one-ha1f Of per cent Of alcohol or more.
Earnest Debate in House.
Indications that the radical drys are
becoming nervous and irritable as they
learn OF the gains in strength by the
opposition TO the Volstead bill were found
to-day in the frequent clashes between
the speakers and those seeking TO inter
rupt. Probably never before has the
House listened to a prohibition debate
where the debaters seemed so much in
earnest Never before has the Houss
been SO poignantly and Intimately in
terested in the probable effect OF its owl
actions upon the political future and flu
ture habits of it's own members
Representative Kahn (Cal), who has
always voted wet, made one of the clos
ing speeches that drew fire from the
drys to-day.

Judgment" said he, will cause constant
violations OF the law. December 80 last
