Samuel Untermyer, Assaillng
War Prohibition, Denies
2.75 Beer Can lntoxicate.

WASHINGTON. July i:.-Abolition
Of the saloon. instead Of total pro-
hibition. was advocated to-day BY
Samuel Untermyer. representing
British investors and brewers. testi-
Tying before the Senate Judiciary
Sub Committee. This course was ad-
vocated as temporary measure un-
der wartime prohibition to avoid loss
Of capital invested in liquor manu-
facturc.
He suggested an amendment in the
wartime prohibition enforcement
measure which would prohibit any
drink containing alcohol being sold
and consumed on the same premises.
This. he said, would wipe out the
saloon.
Tests by medical experts prove 2.75
per cent. beer Is not intoxicating, Mr..
Untermyer declared.
Three pints Is the extreme amount
tho human stomach can hold and thu
average is 2 2i-s pints," he explained
1T takes one gallon Of ATS per cent
beer a long time to have any effect
whatever"
Mr.. Untermyer predicted the pro-
posed enforcement OF wartime prohi-
billion would be rejected by the
courts.
III you can say Ia per cent Is
Intoxicating you could later pass q
law saying 10 per cent is not in
toxicating and nullify the constitu-
tionJ amendment" he said.
Republican House leaders to-day
stated that every effort would be
made to pass the Prohibition En-
forcement Bill by next Wednesday
General debate on the bill was TO be
closed to-day and the measure taken

"Inasmuch as there are already

AMERICAN SAYS
MRS. FRANK GOULD
IN FRENCH COURT
Makes That Plea in Fighting

Decree.


PARIS. July IA new and strik-

Gould divorce case that may transfer
the entire divorce proceedings TO New

by the French courts to Mr.. Could.
Mrs. Gould has filed an opposition 70

against her by default, she charges
that the French courts are without
Jurisdiction because of her American
citizenship.
This claim OF domicile in New York,
with It's complete reversal OF the
former line Of defense, caused a stir
In Paris. Counsel for Frank ]. Gould
said regarding the new move:
ut will be remembered that Mrs
Gould claimed one-half OF her hus.
bands fortune on the ground Of COM
munity OF property which could only
exist II her domlcile were in France
We have always claimed that Mr..
Gould's domlclle Is In the United
States and in New York and we are
pleased TO see that Mrs. Gould has
adopted our yiew In her latest plead
ing.
I'VE are convinced that Mrs. Gould,
had accepted the Jurisdiction OF the
French court by the fact that'she had
herself introduced a counter suit in
the course OF the original proceedings
and had interjected several appeals.
The question OF the competency oi
the French court will be pleaded
shortly and II the French court de-
cides to keep jurisdiction. then MI
dould's divorce becomes fnal in three
or four months.
"In the mean time Mr.. Gould has AZ
ready asked for an American pass
port and 10 her action here Is success
ful he will merely start a new suit IL
New York upon his arrival there"
There is a lively interest in PariI
over the report that Mr.. Gould in
