Orders Investigation of Re-

Being Violated. Arrests

Especial United Press Wire. J

NoptCldl OIllCu IIGSS wire.
Washington, July 3.-Attorney
General Palmer it is announced, has
ordered the district attorney at Phil
adelphia, to make immediate inves-
tigation of the reports that liquor is
being sold in violation of the law at
Atlantic City and make arrests if the
reports are true. The attorney gen
erals office is closely watching the
entire nation for violation of the pro-
hibition law.
1t is understood that number of
arrests will be made in cases where
2.75 per cent beer is being sold, to
provide court tests on the validity
of the test as applied to beer of that
strength. This probably will be the
only step taken until the United
States supreme court, at it's meeting
next October, decides whether 2.75
per cent beer is Intoxicating or not,
unless congress passes an enforce
ment act, specifically forbidding the
sale of drinks containing more than
one-half of one per cent alcohol.
Most fragrant instances of open
violation OF the law have been re-
ported to the attorney general in At
lantic City, where saloons are said
to be selling "hard liquor" and ig-
norlng the law. Reports have also
been received that some dealers are
offering whiskey for sale in beer ard
