Liquor Stamp Sale

Prohibition Is Enforced

Daniel Roper, Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, has issued instructions
to collectors of internal revenue to
continue the sale "at the risk of the
purchaser" of special tax stamps cover
ing the sale of liquor for twelve months
beginning July l.
The Offices here of Collector William
Edwards Of the I'd District were crowd
ed with saloonkeepers filing applica-
tions for stamps. Collector Edwards
received copy of Commissioner Ro-
per's instructions on June ID, and since
then applications for the stamps have
been coming in each day. The stamps
are not ready for delivery but will be
in Il few days.
The mere fact that the stamps are to
be sold has had heartening effect on
most of the saloonkeepers.
my impression is that the period of
wartime prohibition will not last long"
one said yesterday. "Probably Presi-
dent Wilson will declare demobiliza-
tion completed some time in August, at
the latest.
"Then the sale of liquor will be re-
sumed in New York and elsewhere
until national prohibition becomes eff
fective January 16, as result of the
constitutional prohibition amendment"
The special stamp taxes now being
applied for are those which wholesale
and retail. liquor dealers have been
compelled to buy in addition to their
licenses. The cost to a retailer for
these stamps is S25 year; for
WHOLESALERS $10O.

ticipated in the ceremony of passing
through fire." or "Umti," as it is
called by the Tahitians.
Whatever trick there may be iii per-
forming this ceremonial is a secret re-
liousgly held by small clan of natives
on the island of Raiatea.
A large pit is dug in which are
placed huge, dry logs of wood overlaid
with a thick layer of large river stones.
The fire is then kindled and made to
burn fercely until the stones become
white hot. Native priests, or wizards,
descend into the pit, Notwithstanding
the fact that the intense heat radiating
from it keeps the onlookers at dis
tance, and walk barefooted over the
heated stones, inviting those who have
the courage to follow them.
Many theories have been advanced
as to why the naked feet of the natives
are not scorched, but no satisfactory
explanation of the phenomenon yet has
been advanced. The Englishman wore
his shoes.

Doctors Endorsement
OF Liquor Rescinded

The Allied Medical Association of
America, at the opening of its annual
convention at the Hotel Pennsylvania,
unanimously adopted a resolution in
dorsing light wines and beer as bene-
fetal to humanity at large. They
adopted another resolution yesterday
that, in effect, rescinded that action.
The new resolution reads:
"Inasmuch as this association is not
a commercial body, but for the welfare
of humanity, it leaves the administra-
tion Of alcohol as a medicine to the
opinion of each individual members
That resolution was introduced by
Major Dinshah P. Ghadiali, commander
of New York's sky police. The medi
cal association had just elected him
fourth vice-president.
'If this body goes on record as in
dorsng the use Of alcohol as a bever-
age" said DR.. Ghadiali, 81, being a
pledged total abstainer for thirty
years, shall be regretfully compelled ia
resign as a vice-president and as a
member"
Several members protested, but Dr.
Ghadials's resolution was finally
adopted unanimously
The earlier resolution said: "The
Allied Medical Association hereby goes
on record as convinced of the neces-
sity of properly brewed lager beer in
the treatment of certain of the patients
of it's members, to whom the mildly
stimulating and nourishing properties
of such beer are absolutely essential.
This association also recommends
and indorses grape products, light
wines, il pure, as beneficial to our pa
tients in many conditions, as both a
stmulant and medicine and as a
measure to prevent the increased use
of narcotics"

Artist Who Made Design Is
Witness in Libel Suit;
Henry A. Wise Wood Gives
His Views Of Auto Man
Preparedness Evidence
More Testimony Is Offered
in Support of Defence;
War College Is Quoted

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, June 49,
A shadow Of Henry Ford's alag of
Humanity" was unfurled in Judge
fuckers court to-day in course of the
hearing Of Mr.. Ford's 81 100000 libel
suit against "The Chicago Tribune"
Testimony in the case has quoted Mr..
Ford as opposing flags of nations as
obsolete--"so ething to rally around"
or as "the refuge of scoundrels" and
as advocating "hag of HUMANITY" the
creation of which he was said to have
referred to in fugitive remark in
1915.
To-day Irving Bacon, an illustrator

partments of the Ford Motor COMPANY.
was called to the stand.
1T was quite a long time ago and |
do not recall clearly the incident" said
the witness. 81 think, however, that the
!, idea of designing such a flag was put to
me either by Dean Marquis, head of the
educational department., or Mr.. Brow
nell, the advertising manager. l made
some sort of sketch in water colors.
/ believe the field was purple and the
world was shown, and symbols of uni
versal brotherhood, fraternity, peace and
ndustry-thngs like that"
Other witnesses to-day were Henry
A. Wise Wood, of New York, engineer,
manufacturer and inventor, who was a
member of the conference committee on
national preparedness, the coordnating
body of preparedness organizations, and
who, for few months in 1915, was a
member of the navy advisory board
Willis J. Abbot, the writer, and Floyd
Gibbons, a "Chicago Tribune" CORE
spondent.
Mr.. Wood testified that he was early
associated with Colonel Roosevelt and
General Leonard Wood in crystallizing
preparedness sentiment in the country
and educating public opinion.
Mr.. Wood said he interviewed Mr..
Ford in Detroit in 1915 in an attempt
to convert the manufacturer to the pre-
paredness view. The latter, the wit
ness said, was rather impatient of his
arguments, and remarked that "hags
were something to rally round" and
that after the world war they would all
be hauled down.
1t was through this witness that the
defence introduced its first prepared
ness evidence under Judge fuckers
ruling yesterday on scope of evidence.
Mr. Wood introduced formal report
of the staff of the War College at
Washington in 1915, in the scourse Of
which it was stated that within forty
six days Germany could land $4,000
men on the Atlantic coast, while the
United States government was helpless
to prevent it. Questioned as to his
opinion Of Mr.. Ford, the witness said
that there were many good men who
were not good Americans.

Z WASHINGTON, June 1s. - Both
! llouses of Congress voted to-day to
nd daylight saving after this summer.
xly overwhelming majorities the two
iouses decided that when the clocks
ssre turned back to meridian time on
October 26 they shall stay on sun time.
{ he vote in the Senate OF this was
to G, and in the House it was 233
sto 122.
The Senate first suspended its rules
Ind then added the repeater to the
agricultural appropriation bill as a
ider, later passing the ball. The House
passed the repeater as a separate bill.
E.t is expected the House will accept
he conference agreement on the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, and the re-
peal will be obtained in that fashion
Senator Williams created some
amusement in the Senate by declaring
that he "emphatically favored sun
ime instead of Senator-from New

Calder, who has from the first been
the consistent champion of daylight

II am rather tired" said Mr.. Will
sans. "of Congress attempting not only
20 leglslate on every possible Federal
and state question, but attempting to
usurp the functions of God Almighty
in fixing the time for the sun to rise
and set"
After the vote Senator La Toilette.
on whose motion the rule was sus-
pended and the repeater passed, de.
clared that personally he thought the
repeal should take effect immediately.
He added that he had consented to
delay the going into effect of the re-
peal until October 26 only because he
found he could not obtain sufficient
votes to suspend the rules if he pro-
posed immediate repeal.
ut Is a great injutsice to the people
of the country to compel them to sub
NIT themselves to this distortion of
time until next October" he declared
The six Senators who voted against
repeating the law were Calder, FIRE.
linghuysen, Newberry, Page, Phipps
and Robinson.
In the House representatives of in
dustrial centres voted solidly against
the repeal, but they were outnumbered
by the representatives of rural dis
tricts.
Earlier Repeal Defeated
Two attempts to cut short the pres
ent daylight saving period were de-
feated. The amendment of the Inter
state and Foreign Commerce Commit
fee to the original bill, which provides
that the clocks shall be turned back
on the last Sunday in October was
sustained by vote of 1873 to So.
An amendment by Representative
Bland. of Indinia, that would have
made the repeater effective Immediate
" upon it's approval by the President
was defeated by vote of 2O3 to 10.
An attempt by Representative Wheel
er, of Illinois, to terminate daylight
saving ten days after approval of the
repeal resolution was voted down with
out roll call.
Representative Esch, of Wisconsin,
author of the repeater, told the House
the repealef was supported by 800
