GOVERNMENTTO
BE ENJONED IN
BREWERIES CASE
Production Of 2.75 Per Cent
Beer Permitted Pending De-
cision as to Intoxicant Limit.

New York, May %. - Federal
Judge Mayer announced today that
he would issue an injunction re-
straining the government from in
terfering with the production of beer
of 275 alcoholic content, pending
a judicial determination of the brew
ers' claim that such beverage is not
Intoxicating.
Judge Mayors statement was
made in the course of argument for
a temporary injunction in the case
of the Jacob Rupert Brewing COM
pany against the Upited States dis
trict attorney and the collector of
internal revenue of New York. The
case is one of a series to test the
constitutionality of the wartime pro-
hibition act.
Judge Mayer said he believed the
government should be content with
a broad treatment of the litigation,
which is based on the motion of the
brewers for a permanent injunction
guaranteeing uninterrupted produc-
ton of 2.75 per cent beer.
The court declared that his de-
cision had been influenced by Pres
ident Wilson's message to congress
recommending repeal of the war
time prohibition act, insofar as it
relates to beer and wine, and by
Federal Judge A. N. Hands ruling
last week, that the law placed a
ban on the manufacture only of
liquors that were in fact intoxicat-
ing. y

CATION, in a statement to the Ver.
sailles correspondent of the Tage,
biatt, attacks President Wilson for
having put himself completely in the
hands of the French and British by
agreeing to deviate from his II
points.
president Wilson," the professor
added, probably imagines he did
us favor in declining to agree to
such demands as the cession of the
left of the Rhine and the dissolution
of Germany into several small states
In reality, such demands would haye
been bette than the present con-
ditions, because we are so bound
by the latter that we can hardly do
anything financially.
1T is to be assumed that Rresi-
dent Wilson knows European, con-
ditions too little to survey their i'm
portance and, possibly, there is back
of his mind a thought of conflict
between America and Japan, and
Germany must be so weakened that
she will not be, able to be Japan's
ally" -.

Attorney Denies Ford
Said Soldiers Should
Be Branded Murderers

Mount Clemens, Mich, May 23.-
The second stage of the Henry
Ford-Chicago Tribune libel suit was
completed today, and Monday the
taking of evidence will begin. The
first, stage, the selection of a jury,
required a week, and the second
stage, completed today. brought to
an end the arguments of counsel on
admissibility of evidence which con-
sumed the second week of the trial.
The arguments were pivoted on
the demand of the defendant that
it be permitted to show that anar-
chy existed along the Mexican bor-
der at the time the Tribune printed
its editorial headed, Ford Is an An
archist." Judge Tucker said that
he would not announce a ruling to
govern the scope of the evidence,
but would rule from time, to time
as circumstances required.
Alfred ]. Murphy of the Ford
forces denied today that Mr.. Ford
had ever directly said that the word
murderer" should be embroidered
on the shirt fronts of soldiers.

sidered Desperate.

London, May 23.-The bolsheviki
have begun the evacuation of Mos
cow, according to reports brought
from Petrograd to Copenhagen by
travellers and forwarded by the Ex-
change Telegraph company. Ty-
phus is raging in Moscow and the
situation there is considered des-
perate.
The operations OF non-bolshevik
forces against Petrograd are having
great and rapid success, according
to various reports received here
from Helsingfors. The correspond
ent, of the Daily Mail at the Fin
nisli capital says that the bolshevik
resistance seems to have been brok-
en-, and that they have lost several
thousand prisoners and 80 guns.
A great number of machine guns
and five armored trains also were
captured. A North Russian corps
cooperating with the Esthonians
successfully attacked the bolshevik
position at the Gatchina railway sta
ton 50 miles south of Petrograd.
Attack Former Comrades.
Thousands of bolshevik soldiers in
the Gatchina area, in the coast re-
gion west of Petrograd. who sur-
rendered with their arms and am
munition, the correspondent adds,
subsequently joined in the attacks
on their former comrades.
1t is reported in Helsingfors from
Petrograd that the bolsheviki are
prepared to defend the city and that
all the workmen have been armed.
The defenders are said to number
100000.

TAIL SPIN
Bluffs Man Flies From Water.
loo, Ia., and Meets With Bad
Luck Landing in Ak
Sar.Ben Field.

1t. H. ]. Nielsen, aviator, 607
Willow avenue, Council Bluffs, and
c. A. Prince, 1921 Jones street, were
injured in a 300-foot fall in an air
plane west of Ak-Sar-Ben field,
shortly after 7 o'clock last night.
Both were rushed to Nicholas Sem
hospital.
The two men had just finished a
flight from Waterloo, Ia, when the
accident occurred. Lieutenant Mel
sen was plotting the machine. When
about 800 feet high and ready to
make landing Nielsen lost control
of his machine and was caught in a
tail spin. The airplane dashed to
earth, nose downward. Nielsen and
Prince were buried beneath the
wreckage.
Pulled from Wreckage.
w. H. Ashmussen, airplane ex-
pert, and w. M. Loeke, 1929 South
Thirty-sixth street, saw the fall and
pulled the two injured men from
their wrecked seats and took them
to the hospital in car.
Both men were unconscious.
Nielsen suffered severe lacerations
of the head and face besides several
broken ribs.
Prince received deep cuts about
the head and body. He was later
taken to his home.
Nielsen bought the afrplane re-
Gently from a New York firm for
$4,000. 1t was shipped to Water
loo, la. From there Lieutenant
Nielsen and Prince flew in it to
Omaha. They left Waterloo at 3
o'clock Friday afternoon, making
their first landing for additional fuel
at Des Moines. Nielsen wired w.
H. Ashmussen from Des Moines
that he would land on Ak-Sar-Ben
field at about ] o'clock. He did.
Watched by Omahans.
Hundreds Of Omahans watched
the airplane in its flight over the
city. As it hove in view toward
k-Sar-Ben field Ashmussen sought
by signals to direct the aviator's
landing west of the grounds, be-
cause of.the number of cows graz
ing on the field.
The airp1ane descended to an
altitude of about 800 feet, then cir
cled about twice before attempting
a landing. Suddenly, the machine
was seen to give lurch and it was
caught in a tail spin. 1t dashed in
a nose dive to the earth. 1t landed
in a plowed field less than 100 feet
from Mr.. Ashmussen.
Plane Badly Damaged.
The airplane was badly damaged,
the propeller and landing gear be-
ing completely demolished. The en-
gine alone escaped destruction.
Though Lieutenant Nielsen sent
kilograms to prepare for his landing
on the Ak-Sar-Ben field, he found
the grounds unsuitable for descent
because of the number of cows there.
He had bought the machine in order
to fulfill engagements for airplane
flights in chautauqua work this
summer. His flight from Waterloo
to Omaha was made as a test.
