Of way, house leaders expected late to-
day to resume debate In the prohibi-
ton enforcement legislation. The de-
bate now centers on the section of the
bill carrying provisions for enforcing
constitutional prohibition which be-
comes effective next January.
All amendments intended to elimin-
ate the more drastic prohibitions to
the general enforcement measure were
voted down yesterday by overwhelming
majorities and so strongly in control
were the "drys' that debate was shut
of despite the violent protests Of the
minority.

planned to call up for consideration
today the remodeied agricultural ap-
propriations bill with its legislative
rider repeating the daylight savings
law.

State Failed to
Prove Case Says
Emerson Lawyer

Mt. Ayr. July 1s.-Attorney w. f.
Mitchell today presented the opening
rehuttal for the defense In the trial
OF Roy Emerson. of Creston, charged
with numbering his mother. and urged
that the jury acquit the defepdent,
contending that the state had failed TO
rrovc ,ts case.
Mr.. Mitchell declared that according
to the indictment against Emerson, the
state must prove first degree murder
and that 1t not only had not done this,
but that the evidence OF the case would
go farther toward proving that Mrs.
Emerson's death was either accidental
or suicide than In proving murder.
He declared that the testimony or
the states chief witnesses. DIR. w. J.
Coakley and Walter Matlock, had bee'
proved to differ so from the testimo'
they gave at the coronor's inquest
1t could not be considered.
Mr.. Mitchell also declared that the
state had presented no proof that Mrs.
Emerson was killed with the iron brace
found near her body and that DIR. IL.
M. Stanly. expert chemist and states
witness. had failed to identify as blood
the stains on the brace.

Mead, Brswed From Grapes and |!
Honey. Will Continue To Be Used
BY Jews In Observance Of Passover. !
New Regulations Issued.

Washington. July 1S.-Regulations
just issued by the bureau OF internal
revenue afford every religious oryini-
zation In the United States opportunity
to obtain wine for sacramental pur-
poses.
I'VE have endeavored to cut out all
red tape" Deputy Commissioners
Gaylor said, "and have made the req
ulations easy for bona .tide organiza-
tions to follow"
Where sacramental wines are pro-
duced and distributed under clerical
supervision, as in certain monastaries
of the Catholic church. the usual In
ternal revenue tax must be paid and
accurate records kept OF all shipments.
In case OF purchase of wine from DEAL
ers not under church supervision. the
bureau expressed a preference that an
affidavit showing the use to which
wine was to be put accompanying the
order for the protection OF both the
seller and the purchaser. Churches
not having hierarchal organizations
will obtain wine on the application OF
the minister or duly authorized officer
OF the congregation.
Brewing Of Mead Permitted.
Jewish congregations. each of which
is n separate entity under no superior
prelate will obtain wine for their SER
vices on application OF the rabbi. The
historic mead. hrewed from grapes and
honey. will continue to be used in the
passover feast. The bureau has ruleds
contrary to erroneous reports. that
mead was prohibited. that the drinle
may be made in accordance with the
custom in the homes OF Jewish fAm~
lilies when intended for use in the relig~
ious festival.

ed today when Attorney Elliott q.

ICED the examination, in the course OF
which Mr.. Stevenson attempted. again
to get the witness to admit that he was

matters collateral to the case.
II don't know much about militar-

lawyer next came for the first time di-
rectly to the heart Of the suit the Trto-
une editorial Of June 30, 1916, which
was headed Ford is an Anarchist
What is a headline?" asked Mr..
Stevenson.
1T shows what Is in the body of an
article under it." Mr.. Ford yesterday
testified that an anarchist is a bomb
thrower, or one who overturns govern
ment. Mr.. Stevenson then read the
text of the editorial.
Nothing there about bomb throw

"But you said that headline shows
what is in the body Of an article, Mr..
Ford"
This precipitated an argument.
"You heard what was said about a
mobile force being necessary to pro-
tect coast defenses from attack in the
rear?" asked Mr.. Stevenson.
"Yes."
