FEAR THE USE OF POISON

Harrisburg druggists who feared
they were facing a big loss because
of the ruling of the Internal Revenue
Department that toilet waters, per-
fumes, flavoring extracts and pro-
prietory medicines containing alcohol
may not be sold after January 16
when the nation goes dry Under
the prohibition amendment to-day
learned that certain notifications
now are being considered which they
declare will be more reasonable.
Toilet waters of the better grade
may not be affected, it was said.
Such waters and perfumes which
contain sufficient oils to show that
they are not put on the market for
beverage purposes may be permitted
to be sold if the pleas Of the manu-
facturers are needed. The same
policy will be formulated for flavor
ing extracts which, it is said, would
go entirely off the market for months
found some formula for u base now
composed of alcohol.
Strong opposition is said TO have
developed to the Governments sug-
gcstion that one-fourth of grain
to tartar emetic be added to each
fluid ounce of toilet. waters. Drug
gists object that this may cause
deaths and want to know who will
be held responsible if an alcohol
adict is killed. The Revenue Bureau
is said to particularly want the
emetic put into bay rum.

the captain may be able TO meet un-

weather or possible refusal of officials
at any one port to permit Emma
Goldman, Alexander Berkman and
the others to land. The supplies on
the Buford are sufficient for 60 TO

it takes, the passengers will be land

COURT HOLDS UP
ITS DECISION ON
VOLSTEAD'SBEER
Adjourns Until January )
Without Ruling on One
Half of One Per Cent.
GRANTS RETAILERS PLEA
Government Must Show Cause
Why Original Proceedings
Should Not Be Instituted

Washington. Dec. 22.-The Su-
preme Court to-day recessed until
January ), without handing down an
opinion on the constitutionality of
sections of the Volstead prohibition
enforcement act, which fixes the
lawful contents of beer at one-half
of one per cent.
The court to-day ordered the
government to show cause on Janu-
ary 5, why original proceedings
should not be instituted by the
States of Rhode Island and New
Jersey retail liquor dealers to have
determined the constitutionality of
the national prohibition constitu-
tional amendment.
Applications for permission to
contest the amendments validity
and seek injunction against it's en-
forcement in those states were pre-
sented last week. In both instances
the amendment was alleged TO con-
fiict with the State police powers
and with the Federal Constitution
In ordering the government to
show cause the court, according to
government attorneys, followed an
unusual procedure, as ordinarily in
such instances permission to bring
such proceedings is given and a
date fixed when they are returnable.
The court, however, was generally
believed to have been prompted by
the fact that as the amendment be-
comes effective on January Is next,
the procedure followed would eXpe-
dite matters.
