TEST OF BEER CASE
IS ARRANGED HERE
Revenue Stamps Sold Do Not
LegaIize Manufacture, COL
Iector Rules
OFFICIALS IN CONFERENCE

Revenue stamps for beer containing
more than one-half of l per cent al
cohol brewed since December ]. 1918.
are being sold to brewers here following
receipt of instructions from Washington
by Ephraim Lcderer. collector of inter
nal revenue of this district. Heretofore
the department has refused the neccs-
sary stamps for this beer.
The decision of the Revenue Depart
ment to sell the stamps was contained
in the following announcement by Col
lector Lederer:
1.-The Internal Revenue Office has
been notified by Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Daniel C. Roper. direct
ing that stamps be ISSUED to brewers
for the purpose of tax paying beer with =
drawn for sale. when the same was
manufactured subsequent to December
/, 1918, and contains one-half per
cent or more of alcohol by volume. II
is not intended to hold that the manu-
facture and sale of such beer is law
full. but because tax liability exists in
any event the sale and issuance of
stamps and the collection of the tax
is authorized
The new ruling. it is believed, will be
followed Immediately by test suit by
the government to define intoxicating
beverages. A conference on the subject
was held yesterday afternoon in the of
flee of Collector Lederer. Besides Mr..
Lcderer. the conference was attended by
Robert Sterrett. assistant United States
district attorney, and by ]. w. Kelly,
special agent of the Revenue Depart
ment. 1t was reported that it was dc
cided at the conference to recommend
for prosecution a brewer in an adjoin-
ing county. who is charged with selling
the high power been contrary to the
regulations of the Internal Revenue De-
partment.
Evidence gathered by Mr.. Kelly was
presented and will be forwarded to
Washington at once, so that judicial
Interpretation of an intoxicant may be
had.
The brewers contend that beer con
tanning up to 234 per cent alcohol is
not Intoxicating, whereas the President s
proclamation provided that beer only of
the strength of one half of / per cent
alcohol could be brewcd and sold after
December I. 1918. Elihu Root submit
ted an opinion holding the presidential
order was illegal.
