Judiciary Committee Urges
More Lenient Regulations
in War Section.

WASHINGTON. June 27.--Ens1rce-
ment legislation for both wartime and
Constitutional prohibition was for
mally reported TO the House in n bill
Of two sections by the House JudIcI-
sry Committee to-day. The wartime
enforcement section is set down as
part one.
The vote on reporting the ieyisla-
ton was II to .. AS the bill now
stands more lenient laws are pro-
vided In the section for wartime pro-
h!bition than in the Constitutional
prohibition section.
Those voting against the bill were
Representatives Igoe and Dyer. both
of st. Louis.
A special rule for consideration OF
the legislation will be asked Of tho
Rules Committee. but It is practically
certain II will not come up In the
House until the middle OF next week.
A minority report will be filed by
five members of the committee.
Another eleventh hour move to re-
port 4 separate bill for wartime pro-
hibltion In the hope OF rushing It
through before July l failed by a
vote Of 10 TO 6. tho committee stand
ing by its original intention 70 pro-
vide separate enforcement provisions
for the two kinds OF prohibition, but
| in one bill.
The committee adopted an amend-
ment by Representative Steele, Penn
sylvania, allowing manufacturers OF
non alcoholic beverages to reduce the
amount OF alcohol in beverages so
they may be classed as soft drinks.
The amount OF alcohol after the re-
duction must be. less than one half OF
one per cent. This will allow the
use of a large amount OF vino and
beer, Steele said. .r. .,r.. .. ...
As, to what President Wilson in
tendsrto dc, Us to- nnnullinx war time
prohibition, so far as II Affects wines
and beer, after July !, no one In
Washington apparently knows, and
there is no agreement among Admin
lst-ation officials as TO the likelihood
of his action.
Although enforcement legislation
cannot be passed by Congress and
approved by -the President before
wartime prohibition becomes effect
i've, the Department of Justice will
undertake to enforce the prohibition
law. Unofficlal reports have reached
the Department that in a number OF
cities In the East the brewing and
sale of beer containing "a per cent

that such beer Is not intoxicating

was said to-day no Wholesale indlct-
u,ents we're to be expected until a
test case now in the courts had been
decided.
The original case in New York de-
veloped technicalitles which threat
ened a decision without deciding the
merits of the contention, so the de-
partment is relying on the case
brought in Baltimore to give a clear
cut verdict as to whether the bever-
age OF the alcoholic content now be-.
ing brewed is beer in the sense OF
being intoxicating.
When a decision is had the case
probably will be appealed to the
Supreme Court and. as the court does
not meet until October, national

ment may become effective before
