w. 3. Wheeler Suggests Drastic
Amendments to BiIl-WouId Bar
Bottle on Hip-Says Congress
Can Fix Content.

Washington, July 17.-Authority of
congress TO fix one-half of / per cent
as the maximum alcoholic content of
beverages in prohibition enforcement
legislation is clear, Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel for the Anti Saloon
league, declared before the senate ju-
dietary subcommittee in answering re-
cent statements of Samuel Inter
meyer, counsel for brewers.
ITO allow the sale of ~ per cent
beer" said Mr.. Wheeler, would keep
alive the liquor trade and defeat the
purposes of national prohibition.
Friends of prohibition do not want a
code unless II defines intoxicating
liquor"
States Limit Alcohol.
Thirty-three prohibition states and
Is local-optiOn states, Mr.. Wheeler
said, have laws limiting alcohol in
beverages. He challenged Mr.. Inter
myer to produce any court decision de-
nying congress or state legislatures
the right TO make definitions.
Congress cannot consistently adopt
a weaker standard in defining the term
than that already enacted in the
states" said Mr.. Wheeler. 'This
means nothing can be sold for bever-
age purposes that contains more than
one-half of l per cent alcohol"
Mr.. Wheeler told the committee pro-
hibition advocates were not asking
that possession of liquors bought be-
fore July 1 for personal use be pro-
hibited. He added, however, that they
were suggesting amendments to the
pending legislation to limit the
amount of liquors which may be stored
in private residences, so as TO pre-
vent homes from becoming speak
easies."
Another amendment advocated by
prohibition leaders, Mr. Wheeler said.
is provision for seizure of liquors in
homes where It is sold illicitly.
"Bootleggers will maintain their
homes as headquarters without such
legislation" said he

AS to FIavorlng Extracts.

The house judiciary committee, Mr.
Wheeler said, has agreed upon an
amendment governing the sale of fla
voring extracts which is satisfactory
to all interests. 1t permits wholesale
distribution of these extracts. some of
which contain 40 to 60 per cent alco-
hol, but requires retailers to dilute
beverages TO less than one-half of 1
per cent, he added.
Levi Cooke, general counsel for the
National Distillers' association. ap-
pearing in behalf of the amendments
to regulate manufacture of industrial
alcohol and to protect" 60,000,000
gallons of distilled spirits now held in
bond, said this amount was call that
is left in the country"

Other Amendments Urged.

Two other amendments were urged
by the witness. To prevent bootleg
ging he asked that the committee add
a clause making mere personal and
physical possession of intoxicants-
such as the presence of a bottle in
an individuals pocket-unlawful
"Thls is the most effective weapon
of prohibition enforcement" said Mr.
Wheeler, and Senator Sterling sug-
gested that the bill be extended so as
to penaIize purchase as well as sale
of intoxicating beverages.
Mr.. Wheeler also asked for sweep
ing search warrant powers, suggesting
that seizures be authorized without a
warrant, or at least that warrants be
issued without requiring testimony in
support of requests. Otherwise, he
said, liquor might be removed before
officers could act.
Senator Walsh of Montana and other
committee members opposed extension
of the bills search warrant provisions
and also insisted that the provisions
penalizing searchers with malice and
without probable cause should remain.

War had lain at the heart of every
arrangement of Europe-of every
arrangement of the world-that pre-
coded the war. Restive peoples had
been told that fleets and armies, which
they toiled to sustain. meant peace !;
and they now know that they had been
lied to; that fleets and armies had
been maintained to promote national
ambitions aud meant war. They knew
that no old policy meant anything else
but force. force-alwayS force. And

CARNIVAL FOLDS ITS TENTS

The street carnival which had
been exhibiting on the streets Of
Alexandria last week vanished some
time between midnight Saturday and
yesterday morning, but another was
following close in its wake. Tents
for the exhibition were being placed
in position early this morning. not
upon the streets, however, but l,pa9
what few years ago the outskirts
of Alexandria.
Scenes on King street Saturday
were more aninating than on
any occasion for years. The streets
were literally packed with people
and the scenes were akin to those
in Rome half century ago at the
close Of the Lenten season. Young
and old mingled, generally in The
best of humor, and there were buf
few occurrences savcring Of disoT-
oorderly conduct. A member Of the
military police who had had an ex-
cited coiloquy with man ATTEMPT
cd to arrest his antagonist, and the
latter running the soldier fired MS
pistol-.he> says in the air-acd the
fugitive stumbling and falling his
pursucr overlook him and STRUCK
him on the head with the butt % MS
pistol. The man who was assault
ell refused to appear in the Police
Court this morning.
Considering the large numbec of
persons on the streets every night
last week. the authorities are to be
commended for keeping down disor-
der. Nothing in the nature of a
row occurred except the incident de-
scribed above.
The pacific conditions were due to
the precautions taken by the police
force. They were greatly assisted
by the members of the military po-
lice, the latter mingling with the
crowds and nipping in the bud any
thing likely to result in disorder.

plunged into Tang;er Sound, about
enc hundred miles south of this
city. The meteor changed its course
as it nearcd Point Lookout and eros

the sound before reaching the Mary

A Crisfield. Md. correspondent

of the landing of meteor near that

other struck near Smiths Island
