who rendered the first of the ten de-
clsions, held on May II that the war
time prohibition act was intended to
prohibit only such liquors as are in
TACT lntoxicating and actually did
prohibit only such liquors
United States Judge Mayer, of New
York, in the same case, gave the
complainant brewing companies
temporary injunction against the
government on the ground that the
statute forbade only beer which was
Intoxicating. and that the proofs sub
mltted to the court were sufficient TO
Justify the preliminary finding that
beer containing not in excess of 2.75
per cent of alcohol by weight is not
Intoxicating. The government ap-
pealed and three judges of the United
states Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Second Circuit reached the unani-
nous conclusion that the wartime
prohibition act prohibited only intoxi-
eating liquors and that non-intoxicat-
ing beer was not prohibited by that
statute. Judge Rogers, who dissented
from the decision Of the majority OF
the court on another question, agreed
with them on the question Of the con-
struction OF the statute
Judge Rose, of Baltimore, reached
York judges.
Judge Anderson, of Boston, in a
similar case said: The serious pur-
pose of Congress and of large part
OF the voters of this country to pre-
vent the use of Intoxicating liquors
as beverage ought not to be at
tempted to be made ridiculous by an
absurd misconstruction of this stat
ute. This case is no liquor case"
The United States District judge in
New Orleans came to the same con-
cluson.
Judge Brown, of Providence, R. l..
held that the wartime prohibition act
does not forbid Notwithstanding beer.
The tenth similar decision was by
Judge Sawtelle, of San Francisco.
The statement says that of the other
four cases two were brought in Pitts
burg and Philadelphia. The Pittsburg
decision, by Judge Thomson, was
followed by the Philadelphia decision,

Broadway Serving
Any Kind of Drink
That Is Called For
Cabaret Owners See i'm Root
Opinion Excuse to Pry
Off Lid; Cocktails and
Whiskey Are Sold Openly

The opinion in favor of 2.75 beer
rendered Saturday by attorneys. for the
United Brewers Association appeared
yesterday to have become a jimmy to
pry the lid loose from Broadway
cabarets.
The opinion, rendered by Elihu Root
and two associates, held that there
were numerous legal flaws in the pend
ing Volstead prohibition enforcement
measure, and that there is nothing to
indicate that beer of more than one
half of l per cent alcohol and less
than 2.75 per cent is Intoxicating.
The managers of Broadway's white
light restaurants seem to decide that
the opinion. meant more than that
Many of them openly sold hard liquor
of every variety yesterday. It was said
more would cater to the wants of their
thirsty patrons to-day.
At one we'll known cabaret above the
Forty second Street district whiskey:
high balls and cocktails of every kind

have difficulty in getting any known
drink on Broadway this week-whether
a stranger or known patron.
"We've been serving only legitimate
soft drinks, and every other place in
the city has been getting our patronage
by selling just what they pleased under

waiter in Broadway restaurant II

rate, everybody is getting tired of this
underhanded manner Of doing bust
ness"
Since there is no possibility of OBJ
tanning further refunds on saloon IL
censes it is probable that no more bars
will be closed in New York until Octo-
Der 1. That is the period when new
licenses must be obtained.
Liquor men predict that if the long
expected Presidential proclamation OF
rehabilitation is issued by that date
there will be rush for licenses, with
the result that New York will have
more saloons between October l and
January 22-the date on which national
prohibition will go into effect-thar
ever before in its history

Wilson Is Told Million
Here Want Daylight Law
Federated Union Secretary Says
Labor Is Unanimous for
Veto of Repeal

Ernest Roehm, secretary of the Cen
trail Federated Union. yesterday telc-
graphed to President Wilson, protest
ing on behalf of his organization
against efforts to repeal the daylight
saving law.
"Organizcd labor wants the day

gram read 81 speak for 100000
workers and their kin. total Of
more than 100000 residents of New
York City. They have been benc-
fitted by the extra hour of daylight
and want the law continued.
"Daylight saving has been proved
to be Of great economic value.

duced more than $525,000,000 worth of
foodstuffs and thousands of organized

and raise produce for their homes,
thereby saving tidy sum that other

United States Senator William NJ.
Calder, father of the daylight saving
measure, is confident the President
will again veto the repeal bill:
Senator Calder yesterday urged all
favoring the present law to wire and
write protests TO the President and
members of the Senate an House.
He said:
Rain your protests on the White
House and Congress. Start an end

friends in other states to wire or

rolled to the ground. He then leaped
after her. The young son and the nurse
were rescued by neighbors.
Through an official investigation by
city, state and Federal authorities it
was disclosed that there were three
explosions. The contents of the two
cans of LIQUID is believed to have ex-
ploded after the bomb. The bomb and
cans had been placed on concrete
walk almost directly below where the
LAWYERS lay sleeping.
Within half an hour after the ex-
plosion d posse of citizens numbering
several hundred had been organized
and was spreading throughout the ars
tocratic Wiltshire district, seeking the
perpetrator of the crime.
After two hours of dragnet work the
posse abandoned the search, but before
disbanding organized an anti-red guard
pledged to war on the Bolshevik ele-
ment by every means possible.
Evidence which has been collected
by detectives and Department of Justice
agents Indicate that the explosion was
the work of more than one person. and
that the act was committed after much
careful dcliberation and investiga ion
of conditions.
Three Men Seen at Spot
Chauffeurs at garages near the Law
Ter residence tell of seeing two men
talking in low tones and passing and
repassing the house. roadster au-
tomobile was seen to leave the LaWler
neighborhood a few minutes before the
explosion, and there is evidence that a
larger car was parked under group of
thickl foliaged trees at the side of the
street near the mouth of d nearby alley
This location evidently was carefully
chosen, for that alley led into an inter-
secting alley, giving three possible
exits for the murder car.
The detectives say that the bombers
estimated accurately the way in which
the pillar of fire would travel, and
knew to certainty that the sleeping
porch would be engulfed in the burst
of flame. This planning. the police
and Department OF Justice agents de-
clare, indicates not the wildness of re-
venge by some subnormal criminal
but cold-blooded master plot by ex-
pertS in terrorism.

Magistrate Relents; Case
of Erie President To Be
Heard Thursday Morning

Frederick D. Underwood, president
of the Erie Railroad, who was arrested
Saturday by the Staten Island police as
a disorderly person and released in
$500 bail, failed to appear in police
court yesterday and his bond was for

torney, it was reinstated
Mr.. UndcrWood's arrest followed his
refusal to dsembark from the munich
pal ferryboat Brooklyn at St. George
after trip from South Ferry. The
raj road president explained that he
desired, as do thousands Of other ferry
users, to make a round trip. He denied
the right OF the ferry company to make
him leave the boat and fight for a seat
all over again.
The case came up in City Magistrate
William Croaton's court Yesterday.

few minutes later Arthur S.
Simonson, Stapleton lawyer, reached
court after a hurried trip from New
York. He explained that Mr.. Under
wood was indisposed and that, any
way, he had understood that the exam
ination had been set for Wednesday
morning.
"ie should know that no police bond
is good for more than twenty-four
hours" said the court.
He evidently overlooked that" said
MI Simonson. "He has no disposition
to be away when he is wanted. On his
behalf request an adjournment unit.

that the order forfeiting the bail bond
be rescnded."
The magistrate granted both mo-
tions. Mr.. Simonson said that John B

Yorker who seeks relief from the city $

The complainant in the case is
Daniel Murphy, deckhand on the

The signs directing all passengers tc
leave the municipal ferryboats whcl
they had made fast to their slips were
in their accustomed places throughout
the day. Many passengers who hat
heard of Mr.. Underwood's adventur,
scanned them with interest. Among
the interested ones was Mayor Hylan
who appeared to have made q specia
trip to the city's ferry to inquire abou
the Underwood episode. He examined
the signs and made numerous inquiries
but vouchsafed no information con
corning his purpose.

Avenue, Brooklyn, was robbed of 5000

with his wife and baby. About 200
feet from the West End car line. two
men leaped out from the bushes. One
or them pointed his revolver at Bar

the baby carriage.
Come across, or we'll kill the baby"
said one
Mrs. Barber pleaded with her hus-
band to give them what they wanted,
and he handed over the receipts of the
days business. While one Of the men
was searching him the other noticed
