Judiciary Committee Can't
Agree on Argument They
Should Be Prohibited to
Help Enforce Dry Law
Untermyer Defends Pts
House Completes Debate
and Volstead Bill Is Up
for Amendment Tuesday
!NeW York Tribune
ILncnia,nfnn Ruroaii


WASHINGTON, July 12.-With the
Senate Judiciary Committee split on
the question of prohibiting the sale Of
nen-alcoholic beverages to prevent
evasion of the prohibition law. the
House to-day finished general debate on
the Volstead prohibition bill, arrang-
ing to take it up OH Monday under the
five-minute rule for amendments. OF
these there will be many, it is known,
ranging from entire elimination of war
time prohibition to legalizing of "a
per cent beer.
The differences in the Senate COM
mittee were revealed in the course Of
testimony before that body by Samuel
Untermyer, of New York, general coun-
sci for the brewers.
Characterizing the Volstoad pro
hibition bill as "vicious an unworthy
of Congress-" and likely, if enforced,
to breed contempt for The law, Mr..
Untermyer argued that Congress has
no power to define an Intoxicating
liquor, in extending the provisions of
the wartime act, and has no right to
prohibit the sale of Mons alcoholic
beverage simply in order to enforce
the prohibition law.
Glad Saloon Is Gone
The country has gone dry" Mr..
'Untermyer admitted. 81 look with
delight on the elimination of the sa-
loon, that nursery of crime and the
cause of more misery in the world
than any other single agency"
Mr.. Untermyer said he represented
British brewers with S40,00O,000 in
vested in breweries, -four and steel
mills and other industries in this
country, and that the brewers all told
had an investment of s1,Ooo,ooO0oO.
The wartime enforcement provision,
lie declared, is vicious, insincere" and
mot worthy of the dignity of Congress
1t is class legislation. 1t does not keep
the rich man from storing liquor and
it prevents the poor man from a drink
hitherto regarded as a food. If Con-
gress has the power it claims, it
should eliminate all alcohol from bev-
erages. | believe to that end search
and seizure should be allowed"
After declaring that 2$. per cent
beer was not intoxicating, Mr.. Inter
/. myer said that Congress had not kept
faith with the country in the matter
by giving liquor years respite.
"The effect of the war saving for
which prohibition was enacted" he
said, "was that the supply of cereal
supplied to The brewers was cut in
nall, while me price or peer TO the
American laboring man was doubled
+ The cereal saved was sent to England
and made into beer for the British
Workman"

Attorney, charging violation of the war

law, eleven officers and directors OF
the Pittsburgh Brewing Company en-
tered demurrers before Judge W. H. S.
Thompson in the United States Court

are alleged to have sold since the dry

ueeI n6meG as American Ambassador
to Italy.
WASHINGTON, July 12.--There was
no confirmation here tonight Of the dis
patch from Paris that Brand Whitlock
had been named by President Wilson
as Ambassador to Italy. Officials ex-
planned that if Mr.. Whitlock had been
selected by the President to succeed
Thomas Nelson Page the first public
announcement would come through the
sending of his nomination to the
Senate.
Reports were current some time ago
that Mr.. Whitlock would go to Rome
to take up the duties Mr. Page was
anxious to relinquish and the general
impression here is that there was good
foundation for them.

inhabited The river itself, offers II
source of supply of quality superior to
30 per cent of the domestic waters of
the country.
With the possibility of obtaining
considerable additional flow from the
water bearing strata adjacent to the
river. in addition to the river itself,
we think there is no occasion to go
elsewhere for future development.
The Umatilla river has carried down
from the mountains and deposited
along its course. a bed of Very coarse
MATERIAL ranging from gravel to small
cobble-stones. From the general APP
pearance of the rock walls and the bed
of the stream, II seems that in the
stretch of the river above Pendleton,
the depth of this deposit may be very
great. With an alluvial material of
this character, there has been OBJ
served upon other similar streams.
very large underflow which follows
under and along the surface flow. The
indications along slough channels and
springs in the river bottom confirm
this condition.
The tributary drainage from the
areas adjacent to the Umatilla in the
high, rolling area on the north, comes
in through a number of deeply cut
valleys and canyons. Some of these
carry streams of more or less perma-
nent character, while the others. even
with their large drainage areas back
of them. show no surface flow, or as
in the case of Squaw creek, show
surface flow which in summer time
sinks into the bed along the lower
reaches of the stream.
We have attempted to show what
we conceive as the general ground
water conditions along the Umatilla
in the conventionalized drawing which
accompanies this report. The main
current of ground water follows the
river itself. while the tributaries come
in at right angles, gradually swing
around to a course parallel with the
river and finally join into the main
flow.
The reason for preferring a ground
water supply to surface water sup
ply for the City of Pendleton, is its
increased purity. Investigations have
shown that water, in flowing through
the under ground strata, tends to be-
come purified by mechanical filtera-
ton. as well as by chemical processes.
The extent of this publication depends
upon the distance that it flows
through the under ground strata and
their general character. We are of
the opinion that If the supply be de
veloped in such a way as to avoid
transfer between surface and sub-sur
face flow, the water taken from the
main underflow of the Gmatilla river
would be of a purity equal to the
underflow from the tributary side
drainage. The flow from the tribu-
tary streams would, however. be some
what easier to collect in a manner
proof against contamination, and
should in our opinion, be made use of
first as "A matter of policy.
