Members
R. L. PAYNE RESIGNS

A called meeting of the board of
directors of the Alexandria Chamber

Charles Henry Smith, 123 South Ro-
yal Street; N. T. Foard, SIT King

cepted with regret, and John T. Har-
rison was unanimously elected a di-
rector to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mr.. Payne.
The matter of condition and own
ership of the streets at Rosen0nt.
was generally discussed, and t is
hoped and expected that some action
will be taken by the City Council. at
an carly date to improve the con-
ditions in that portion of the city.
Several parties it was stated are
anxious to build homes in George
Washington park, but have beer un-
able, so far, to secure the proper
lines, which can only be given them
by the city. 1t is felt that at this
time that all obstacles in the way
of building homes should be prompt
" removed as far as possible.

board adjourned subject to the c2i! of
the president.

LIGHT WINES AND BEER
Department cf Justice Decides Such
Beverages Will Not be
Interfered With

Washington. July 1.-The Depart
ment Of Justice is understood to
have decided that the sale Of light
wines and beer shall not be inter-
fered with under the war time pro-
h!bition law.
Instructions went forward yester-
day to district attorneys in "wet''
territory that the Department would
abide by the recent decision in the
test case brought in New York and
would not prosecute dealers selling
beverages containing not more than
2 3-4 per cent Of alcohol.
In permitting saloons to remain
open for the sale Of 2 81 per cent.
beverages, the Department of Jus
tice is understood not to forego the
privilege of prosecution later, if it
contention that 2 ga per cent beer
is Intoxicating is upheld. In short.
the question merely is held in a5ey-
ance until a final decision is reach
ed in the test cases. The Supreme
Court cannot pass on the question
before October.
Laws for enforcement Of both
war time and constitutional prohibi-
tion were favorably reported to thc
House late yesterday by the Judic-
iary Committee. They define as
Intoxicating any beverage contain
