 Among the crew of 23 men is Lieu tenant Commander Zachary Lands downe, staff commander of the Amer ican naval air forces in France. who is making the voyage as representative of the United States.
 With favorable weather, the R-34 is expected to parallel the route Of the northern steamship lines, but should, adverse weather conditions be encoun- tered she probably will take the south1 erp course. passing over or near the The landing will be made at Rooss- welt field. Mineola, l.. I.

MOVE TOSTOP SALE 23-4 PER CENT BEER MADE BY CONGRESS
Judiciary Committee Meets Monday and Is Expected to Agree on Independent Bill for Enforcing War Time Law
By Associated Press

Washington, July 1. = Con gress and the department of justice moved today to stop the sale of two and three-quarter per cent beer under the war time prohibition act.
 Prohibition leaders of the House, after series of conferences, obtained call for a meeting Monday of the judiciary committee, which is expected to agree promptly on an independent bill for en- forcement of the wartime law, defining intoxicating liquor as containing more than one-half of one per cept alcohol, and to recommend passage of such a bill by the House at the earliest possible moment. At the time the department of justice made it plain it's agents would en- force the act according to it's interpre- tation that anything containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol can not be legally manufactured or sold.
 Decisions of Federal Judge Rose, at Baltimore, in favor of the brewers and two and three-quarter per cent beer and VT 2 eueldl JuoSe SdWteIle at odn idii- cisco against the brewers and such beer threw the entire legal status of low ai- coholic beer into uncertainty. Either the Baltimore, the San Francisco or one of the many other cases expected to arise soon will be appealed to the secretary of the treasury of the United States.
 However, action by Congress with a few weeks at the most is expected to render a decision by the supreme court unneces- sary, so far as stopping the manufacture and sale is concerned

OBJECTS TO RECESS

Objection to the adjournment was raised in the House by Minority Floor Leader Clark, who demanded a record vote on the motion. He stated that if the republicans wanted to recess because there was no other business to transact the recess should be made for longer period.
 "If everything is completed" MT. Clark said, "why don't you recess for a month or two months? Many of us who live at a distance would like to go home for awhile.''
 pleted,' Majority Leader Mondell re- sponded. There will be enough things to keep us busy for several months at least. The prohibition enforcement bill must be considered soon. And besides, we want to be back here so that we can shake hands with the President when he returns <
 "I would rather shake hands with my constituents" MT. Clark replied.
 The vote in the House in favor of the recess was 133 to S9, while only half a dozen senators were in their seats when the session ended in the upper branch.
 CLAIMS BIG SAVING
 MT. Mondell, in a statement inserted in the Congressional Record just before adjournment, declared "there had been a saving of approximately $500 100000 in the six great supply bills which were passed in the special session of the Sixty-sxth Congress as compared with the amounts carried by the same bills which failed in the closing hours of the Sixty-fifth Congress, and saving of $50 000, 900 on the railroad deficiency bill as compared with the estimate of the railroad administration. or a total reduc- ton of $1, ,250.

CONGRESS ID REST AFTER ENACTMENT
 OF ALL NECESSARY
 MONEY MEASURES
With Passage of Final Bills Last Night, Over Five Bill Hans Is Appropriated for Federal Needs
 During Year
By Associated Press

Washington, July, 1.-Con- gress adjourned at midnight until next Tuesday, July 8, after enacting all appropria- ton bills needed by govern ment agencies for the new ifs cal year.
 Success crowned the efforts of repub- lican leaders to complete the necessary appropriation measures, but only after hours of delay which at times almost threatened to block their plans
 The final bill. the army measures, car rying s775,o0O000; the sundry civil bill, carrying s6o5, ,ooo,o ,ooo; the District of Co., lumbia's annual budget of s15, 5,0OO, 600, and a deficiency measure of S25, ,00O, 600 all were completed tonight and tomorrow will be sent to the White House President Wilson will be unable to approve the pllls until he returns, but no embarrass- ment to government departments owing to delay in making funds available is an- t1cipated With enactment of the final bills tonight, including measures passed at the last session of Congress, more than s5,o00.0oo0o0 has been appropriated for federal needs during the new year which began today. Congress also has cancelled more than s15, 100000 of war appropriations previously authorized The recess of Congress was accomplished after many delays today with contro- versies centered upon the sundry civil and army measures. The recess gives Congress a rest over the July holi- day, and when it returns it is expected that President Wilson will submit the treaty negotiated with Germany. Legis- lation for more strict enforcement of wartime prohibition also is to be taken up immediately upon reconvening.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-02
MAY EXPECT REDISTRIBUTION


 today that while his department would proceed in an orderly manner without wholesale arrests or spectacular raids, offenders against the prohibition law could expect nothing less than "early ana vigorous prosecution. Pending the set clement of test cases it may be that evil dence in numerous similar cases will be gathered without arrests being made, but if the government wins in the end, all will be prosecuted.
 Except for the absence of some of the members of the judiciary committee, meeting to agree on wartime enforcement legislation would have been held today by the committee.
 At the request of Representative Igoe, democrat, of Missouri, who refused to vote for the general enforcement bill when it was reported out, IT to ?, last week, the House today gave permisSioa for the filing of a minority report on or before July 8. Six or more members or the committee will sign the report, which will contend among other things. that the courts and not Congres should define intoxicating liquors.
 The minority will also present su5- stitute measure which would authorize the President to lift the ban on wartime prohibition so far as it relates to light wines and beer, which was exactly the thing he suggested Congress should do ol the grounds he did not have that power.
 TO ATTACK PROVISIONS
 Many of the drastic provisions of the bill for enforcement of constitutional pro- hibition, beginning January 16, 1920, will be attacked in the minority report. While the majority will attempt to obtain speedy consideration of it's new enforcement measure, indications tonight were that there would be a bitter fight on the floor. Chairman Volstead, of the judiciary com mittee, was in conference during the day with Republican Leader Mondell, but no statement was made public as to what was discussed. When the Igoe request was before the House, Representative Gard, democrat, Ohio, asked MT. Mon- dell what decision had been reached as to presentation next week of enforce ment legislation, to which question the floor leader said he was not prepared to state at this time.
 The position of the "drys'' in Congress Is that they will stop the sale of two and three quarter per cent beer within two weeks by rushing through next week a bill defining intoxicating liquor as beverage or product containing one-half of one per cent alcohol.
