Dry Bill to Cut
Sales of Liquor
On Prescription
Prohibition Forces Add Res
idence Requirement to
Restrict Distribution of
Whiskey by Physicians
New York Tribune
WUShin0tOt, Burenn

WASHINGTON, July 19.-House drys
celebrated the eve of enactment of
the Volstead bill into law to-day by
adopting a stringent addition, the first
of any consequence, to the present pro-
visions of the bill. This came in the
form of an amendment by Representa-
tive Miller, of Washington, with refer
ence to the prescribing of liquor by a
physician.
The amendment was passed following
burst of indignation by the drys
when the vets tried to loosen the re-
strictions designed to prevent physi-
clans from "jack-legging' liquor. 1t
means that hundreds of physicians, par
ticularly recent graduates from medical
places of business, will be unable to
prescribe liquor for their patients The
amendment provides:
"No physician authorized to issue
any prescription for liquor under
this act shall have or shall keep
his Office, or shall examine any per-
son with the purpose in view of
prescribing liquor or wine in any
such prescription, in any drug store,
pharmacy or place where liquor is
sold under authority of this act or
in any room, apartment booth or
place Immediately connected there
with, except that such physician
shall have had his Office in such drug
store, pharmacy or place for
period of at least one year immc-
diately preceding and prior to the
going into effect of this act"
This amendment was a fair sample
of the temper of the drys. They start
ed the day by steam Offering Repre-
sentative Good. chairman of the APP
propriations Committee, refusing him
five minutes to make statement
which, he warned them would require
much more time if he chose to bring
in privileged resolution. The drys
also made constant efforts to limit de-
bate.
The days fight was also featured by
bill introduced by Representative
Igoe, of Missouri, providing for the
enforcement of the eighteenth amend
ment. He announced that he would
submit it as substitute for the Vol
stead bill when consideration Of that
measure is ended and before a final
vote is taken. The Igoe bill reads:

Amendment of the Constitution to
the United States goes into effect

French Cabinet
To Ask for Vote
OF Confidence
Following Adverse Action
by Deputies on Food Ad-
ninistration, Borst Is Sue
ceeded by NJ. Noulens

PARIS, July 19 (By The Associated
Press)-1n view of last nights vote in
the Chamber of Deputies, the Cabinet
has decided to demand vote of conf
dence by the Chamber next Tuesday
general debate on the governments
policies is considered probable
Joseph J. B. E. Noulens, former Am
bassador to Russia, has been selected
to succeed Victor Boret, the Food Min
lister, whose policy was adversely voted
upon by the Chamber. 1t was an
nounced this afternoon that Nj. Noulens
had accepted.
Premier Clemenceau this morning in
troduced NJ. Noulens to President Poin-
care, and the President conferred with
them for about a quarter of an hour
In a statement to the press after the
conference M. Noulens said that he
would endeavor to reduce the cost of
living.
Government Not Hit
Condemnation of the governments
economic policy in the Chamber last
night was by a vote Of 227 to 213.
Victor Boret, the Food Minister, de-
clared in the lobby after the session
that he did not consider the action of
the Chamber as affecting any but his
department., because the entire policy
Of the government was not involved in
the debate
The vote was taken after a rather
confused debate in which interpella-
tions were made by different groups.
1t was held that the increasing cost of
living was due largely to the errors in
the governments policy, lack of firm
ness in dealing with food profteers.
high customs duties, insufficient effort
to stimulate production and inefficient
distribution.
Minister Boret's Reply
Minister Boret, replying to the in
terpellations, said the lower cost of
living in other Allied countries was due
IN part to the fact that none had suf-
fered as much as France in the reduc-
tion of producing capacity. France. he
said, had lost 100000 workers dead
and several hundred thousandn incapac-
ltated. He declared the situation was
further complicated by wave of lazi-
ness which is momentarily sweeping
over the country"
The explanations made by NJ. Boret
critics. NJ. Augagneur then intro
duced the resolution, the vote on which
resulted in the governments defeat by
fourteen votes. His resolution read:
The Chamber of Deputies, remark
ing that the cost of living has dimin-
ished by one-half in Belgium since
January, 1919, and that it has d1min-
ished by % per cent in England since
the arn,istice and that it has not ceased

dates, judges the economic policy OF
the governments by its results and

Representatives of the Ukrainian

Hylan Retracts Charges
Against Newspaper Men
Admits No Reporters on Duty
Now Are on Payrolls of
''Vicious Interests

Mayor Hylan admitted last night in
another speech to policemen at the
Police Camp Fire, Sheepshead Bay,
that his charge that newsgatherers at
headquarters were on the payroll Of
"vicious interests" did not apply to
any reporter now on duty there. The
Mayors retraction followed demand
from the Headquarters reporters that
he name the men he had accused.
"In past administrations" said the
Mayor, "the commissioner of the de-
partment was very close to the news
gatherers. 1t was a common thing to
see newsgatherers in close touch with
affairs Of the Police Department. Be-
cause Of this, the police officers felt
that they, too, had to be friendly 70
the newsgatherers, and also, IN return,
the newsgatherers would seek favors
for their police friends and get them
easy details.
Newspapers, as class, are honest,
but there were some who were on the
payroll. Those men | speak of are
not at headquarters at the present
time, but there were some who were
even in close touch with gambling
houses and disorderly houses. You
know how necessary it is to keep those
men not responsible to the city away
from the. Police Department.
ut is absolutely necessary to keep
Police Headquarters in Manhattan and
Brooklyn free from sources whereby
violators of the law will gain informa-
tion. While we want the public to
have all the news necessary, we do
not want vicious influence to be in
touch with the Police Department,
which stands for law and order in
New York CitY."

Wholesale grocers are daily carting

Public Schools 161 and Is. it was
charged at an Indignation meeting Of
housewives held yesterday afternoon
in the home of Harry Schlacht, 1872
Rivington street. Mr.. Schlacht was
delegated by a number of men and
women of the locality to investigate
conditions governing food sales in the
schools
when called at School 161, Ludlow
Avenue and Delaney street." Mr..
Schlacht reported there were ten big
trucks from Manhattan and Brooklyn
wholesale houses being loaded with
cases of prunes, canned goods and
being done by men who are paid to
sell the food to consumers.
"When asked Arthur Feldman,
cashier of the sales at this school, why
the food was being sold to wholesalers
instead of to householders, he told me
it was being done with the consent of
Deputy Food Commissioner O'Mallcy.
"At No. Is school, on Fourth Street,
between Avenues c and D. the same
condition exists. Two hundred boxes
Of prunes were sold at this school to a
certain wholesaler, who was forced to
suspend business for thirty days dur
ing the war for profiteering. Even The
janitor at this school has filed com
plaint about it,
"My neighbors feel that it would be
better to discontinue the public school
sales altogether than to permit these
foodstuffs. which were meant to be
sold to reduce living costs, to fall into
the hands of dealers who will resell
them at the prevailing high prices"
The women at the meeting were in
favor of calling in body on Mayor
Hylan to-day and protesting to him,
but Mr.. Schlacht dissuaded them from
this course until after Commissioner
of Foods and Markets Jonathan p. Day
has had an opportunity to act. Mr..
Schlacht said he would take the mat
ter up with Mr.. Day this morning.

Better Garbage Disposal
Plan for City Sought

Professor Olin H. Landreth, of
Schenectady, sanitation engineer has
begun survey of New York City, it
was announced yesterday by the Mer-
chants Association, with the object of
devising an improved system of waste
and garbage disposal which will re-
duce private expense without increas-
ing public costs. Professor Landreth
is starting with an examination of the
data amassed by Health Commissioner
Copel%nd regarding the handling of
garbage. The purpose of the Mer-
chants Association survey is outlined
in thu following letter recommending
Professor Landreth to DR.. Copeland:
professor Landreth's study is to
cov~r not only the several classes of
waste material now '.andled at public
expense but also the disposal of fac
tory and business wastes (includinE
garbage) now disposed of at private ex-
pense. The private disposal places very
heavy burden of expense upon bust
ness interests and we are in hope that
as result of, Professor Landreth's
study some method may be formulated
whereby this burden of private expense
may be lessened without increasing
the public burden and that at the same

Ourlng these four years 4,981 fire
mems accounts have been carried on
tho Morris Plan Company's books.
This is 1895 more accounts than there
department is at full strength.
Many Loans Repeated
Of the firemen's loans at present
being carried by this concern, number
ing more than 1900, 1900 are third,
Fourth or fifth loans. To date about
three hundred entirely new accounts
have been opened since January l, 1919,
Tor men of the Fire Department.
AS is the case with the patrolmen, j.,
no firemen are granted loans without
excellent reasons and cautious in
vestigation. Six cases taken haphaza rd
from the companys files show the fol-
lowing details:
Case No. /. A fireman Borrowed
800 in September, 1918. This was his
NTH loan with this company, and he
has an excellent repayment record. He
Is married man with five dependents.
The money was needed to buy winter
clothing for his family.
Case No. 2. A fireman. In October,
1918, he borrowed $100. With this he
paid off small balance on previous
loan and bought seven tons Of coal for
the winter. This was his fourth loan
with this company. He is married and
has four dependents.
Case No. 3. A fireman. Borrowed d
$500 in June, 1918. This man has been
3 borrower from this company ever
since it began operations. He has a
wife and three children. All the chill
dren had been sick and he wished to
send them to the country for the sum-
mer.
Borrow to Pay Doctor
Case No. "A fireman. third grade
Salary $1,000 a year. Borrowed $100
in October, 1918. He is married
man, with no children. His wife had
been sick and he needed money to
pay doctors bills. This was his third
loan with this company.
Case No. 5.-A fireman.; married

tive years service. He is married, with
four dependents. His wife had beer
sick. and he was obliged to borrow
to pay his Doctors bills This was his
third loan with the company.
In each case the applicant is a mar
ried man with children; in each case
the money was needed to meet some
urgent demand which could not be met
out of the mans salary check.
Nothing can be done to assist these
men this year; but if the Board of
Estimate approves the raise in salaries
to maximum of $4,000, which is be
ing asked. they will begin to notice
some Improvement in January next
The Board of Estimates decision
must be made by October 20.

Records Show 80 Per Cent
of Force Have Had to
: Seek Loans in Order
to Support Families
Illness Frequently
Multiplies Debts
Many Are Compelled to
Pay Ruinous Interest
to Sharks for III e lp

Unfortunate as is the financial con-
diti, of the average New YORK patrol
man, as shown by tho records of loans
made to patrolmen by the Morris
Plan Company in the last four years,
the condition of the men of the Fire
Department is worse.
Forty per cent of the 1856 firemen
in tn, city of New York are paying
back loans to the Morris Plan Com
pany alone. Another 40 per cent are
in debt to other sources. according to
the estimate of Albert Guinness. presi-
den. of the Uniformed Firemen's As
sociation. Loan sharks, personal loans,
and the time-payment jewelry scheme
are the most popular methods of
raising money among the tiremen, as
among the police. The same ruinous
rates Of interest are demanded by the
sharks, and the same pawnbrokers'
charges are accepted in the case of
jewelry loans, as with the patrolmen.
The percentage of firemen who are
perpetually in debt is far greater
than the percentage of patrolmen.
Year 1917 Climax of Hardship
Apparently the year 1917 was the
hardest of the four for both services.
Tor in that year the greatest percent
age of borrowers is registered, Alb
per cent of the tiremen and 1876 per
cent of the patrolmen. Last year fire
men and patrolmen received an ad-
vance of $150-and their borrowings
fell off eight per cent in tn. case Of
the firemen and four per cent where
the uatrolmen we're concerned. The
indications are that the present year
will show a return to the high mark
of 1917. which may be passed.
The full quota of firemen is 1856
At present the department is slightly
below full strength.
Based upon the assumption that the
city had on its payroll over the four
year period a full quota of firemen,
the following figures show the num-
Der and percentage of fremen who
borrowed from the Morris Plan Com
pany between January /, 1915, and
January /, 1919. Actually the percent
age il each case is a point or two

1t Is a Proud Day
for General
Pershing

to be coming home, sailing up our
magnificent harbor amid the
plaudits of tens of thousands of his
countrymen, with the welcome of
music and heart-bursting, cheer
ing multitude-a welcome seven
miles long, from Fire Island to the
landing stage.
1t is safe to say that no other
man in the world can have a more
enthusiastic welcome to the great
Metropolitan city of the United
States. His welcome day is full of
spontaneous and irnmeasurable
pride IN our great general, who was
the minute man Of action during
every hour of the Great War.
An incident rather typical of the
man:
General Pershing, when on the
field and at the front, asked one
OF his officers how long it would
take him to get certain number
OF machine guns in motor lorrics
to certain place.
The officers answer was. 81

General Pershing instantly re-
piled: Il can tell you now, al
though it isn't my job, either. A
half hour is too long and will be
too late. You have got to have
your business at your fingers
tips"
The world vision that General
Pershing had of his job was always
IN his eyes as we'll as in his heart.
Those broad shoulders of his car
ricd a business head, and he was
never off his job until it was fin
ished.

OF the American idea Ito get things

spirit TO the engineers and his staff,
