The end Of the war has brought no
check to the steady increase in the

the soaring cost of rice. which is The
staple food of the Japanese people, is
becoming grave problem for the gov

rice led to serious riots throughout the
empire.
The Japan Temperance Society has
presented a memorial to the govern
ment urging the prohibition Of making
that about 100000 bushels of rice
are consumed yearly in its manufact

Gorgeous Court Functions
and Lavish Entertaining
Have Not Been Resumed:
Old Estates Are for Sale

LONDON. June 90 (Corres spondence
of The Associated Press).-The first
summer of the after -the-war era is
passing as mere ghost of the old
London social season which formerly,
tor three months after Easter, trans
formed BelgraVia and Mayfair into a
spectacle by day and night.
In other years, before the war
wrought its changes, the early weeks
of summer saw the great London
houses thrown open for entertaining
on scale which no other European
capital knew. Their blazing windows
at night told of receptions and dances
on a grand scale. Court was held at
Buckingham Palace with an array Of
uniforms and Jewels making an unsur-
passable show By day the entire West
End was packed with cars and car

about for their calls and shopping.

COPELAND Attacked
FM. Plan to Control
Disposal of Drugs
A. r. Parklluwst Declares
Doctors and Druggists
Are Puzzled i'm Effort 10
Obey Uncertain Laws

Asserting that more narcotic drugs
are being sold on the streets now than
ever before, A. R. Parkhurst, director
of the Bureau of Narcotic Research,
continued his attack yesterday on the
provisions OF the Whitney law FOR the
registration of drug addicts and sever
ely criticised Dr.. Royal s. Copeland,
Health Commissioner.
According to Mr.. Parkhurst's state
ment, reputable physicians are at a loss
as to the course they should pursue with
regard to the prescribing Of narcotics.
Druggists fear to fill prescriptions, and
of their own, are suffering for want Of
druSe. All thfs, he alleges, can be
largely attributed to the halting and
uncertain course of the state depart
ment of narcotic drug control.
"The situation in the city to-day
Mr.. Parkhurst continued, "can be att
tributed to several things, foremost
among them the continued efforts Of
Health Commissioner Copeland to bring
under the exclusive control Of his de-
partment all drug addicts and the ad-
ministration of all drugs for their re
lief. When Walter R. Herrick was ap-
pointed Commissioner by Governor
Smith the public was treated to per-
fervid and at times acrid Interchange
of letters between Herrick and Cope
land.
"Nauseating as this exchange of
pleasantries was, drug addicts little
dreamed that Mr.. Herrick would ulti-
mately surrender completely to Dr.
Copeland and delegate to him the au-
thority invested by the Governor under
the terms of the Whitney law, in de-
tiance of legislative action at Albany.
DR.. Copeland had not yet seen the
statement when he was asked to COM
ment on it last night at his summer
home at Suffern, N. Y. After making
himself acquainted with the facts
brought out, he declined to reply, but
added that the law would go into effect
finally next Thursday, regardless of
what Mr.. Parkhurst had to say.
Yesterday notice was given by the
Washington that clause in the Har-
rison act, the Federal narcotic con-
troll act, prohibiting physicians to pre-
scribe narcotic drugs for more than the
immediate needs Of their patients, had
been upheld in a decision OF the United
States Supreme Court.
Physicians and druggists who came
to the Offices of the bureau of narcotic
research for an Interpretation of the
ruling were still puzzled. After con-
ference at the Custom House with .hc
Internal Revenue agent Mr.. Parkhurst
explained that a physician had per
feet right to keep on administering
narcotic drugs to patient whose life

Untermyer Defends 2.75
House Completes Debate
and Volstead Bill Is Up
for Amendment Tuesday
!NeW York Tribune
ILncnia,nfnn Ruroaii


WASHINGTON, July 12.-With the
Senate Judiciary Committee split on
the question of prohibiting the sale Of
nen-alcoholic beverages to prevent
evasion of the prohibition law. the
House to-day finished general debate on
the Volstead prohibition bill, arrang-
ing to take it up OH Monday under the
five-minute rule for amendments. OF
these there will be many, it is known,
ranging from entire elimination of war
time prohibition to legalizing of 2&
per cent beer.
The differences in the Senate COM
mittee were revealed in the course Of
testimony before that body by Samuel
Untermyer, of New York, general coun-
sci for the brewers.
Characterizing the Volstoad pro
hibition bill as "vicious an unworthy
of Congress-" and likely, if enforced,
to breed contempt for The law, Mr..
Untermyer argued that Congress has
no power to define an Intoxicating
liquor, in extending the provisions of
the wartime act, and has no right to
prohibit the sale of Mons alcoholic
beverage simply in order to enforce
the prohibition law.
Glad Saloon Is Gone
The country has gone dry" Mr..
'Untermyer admitted. 81 look with
delight on the elimination of the sa-
loon, that nursery of crime and the
cause of more misery in the world
than any other single agency"
Mr.. Untermyer said he represented
British brewers with S40,00O,000 in
vested in breweries, -four and steel
mills and other industries in this
country, and that the brewers all told
had an investment of s1,Ooo,ooO0oO.
The wartime enforcement provision,
lie declared, is vicious, insincere" and
mot worthy of the dignity of Congress
1t is class legislation. 1t does not keep
the rich man from storing liquor and
it prevents the poor man from a drink
hitherto regarded as a food. If Con-
gress has the power it claims, it
should eliminate all alcohol from bev-
erages. | believe to that end search
and seizure should be allowed"
After declaring that 2$. per cent
beer was not intoxicating, Mr.. Inter
/. myer said that Congress had not kept
faith with the country in the matter
by giving liquor years respite.
"The effect of the war saving for
which prohibition was enacted" he
said, "was that the supply of cereal
supplied to The brewers was cut in
nall, Whlle the price or peer TO the
American laboring man was doubled
+ The cereal saved was sent to England
and made into beer for the British
Workman"

tered demurrers before Judge W. H. S.

are alleged to have sold since the dry

WASHINGTON, July 12.-With the
signing of the Hudson tunnel bill to-
day by President Wilson the way was
cleared for the formal approval of the
contracts for the new tube, which con-
tracts have been ready for signing
since July /,
AS the projected vehicular tunnel
under the Hudson River involved an
agreement between New York and New

proved WAS made necessary by the con-
stitutional provision requiring the con-

The tunnel is to be completed in two
years, and the expenses Of it's construc-
tion are expected to be cancelled in
twenty years by the tolls collected for

WASHINGTON, July 12.--There was
no confirmation here tonight Of the dis
patch from Paris that Brand Whitlock
had been named by President Wilson
as Ambassador to Italy. Officials ex-
planned that if Mr.. Whitlock had been
selected by the President to succeed
Thomas Nelson Page the first public
announcement would come through the
sending of his nomination to the
Senate.
Reports were current some time ago
that Mr.. Whitlock would go to Rome
to take up the duties Mr. Page was
anxious to relinquish and the general
impression here is that there was good
foundation for them.
