Congress Has Right to
Define Intoxicating Liquor,
Senate Committee Holds

Washington, Aug. IA. - To secure
uniform and efficient administration
and enforcement of the prohibition
law Congress clearly has the right to
define what is intoxicating liquor
the Senate Judiciary subcommittee
held in a formal report filed late
yesterday on the amended House
prohibition enforcement law.
In support of its contention, the
subcommittee appended an elabo-
rate brief, understood to have been
prepared by counsel for the Anti
Saloon League of America citing
many court decisions and precedents
only a few explanations for the
changes made in the House bill were
contained in the report. In some
cases, the report said, the House
provisions were regarded as "un-
necessarily burdensome." No rea-
son was cited for adding the pro-
vision to permit home manufacture
and use of light wines and cider.

Starter Pike sent the horses away with
the Yearly entry 10 lengths in the rear

The excellent entry of race horses for

COAL STRIKE SERIOUS
Maay Iowa Towns are Out of Coal.
Railroads Selling all Coal In
Transit. Leon Has None.

The coal situation as the result
of the strike of the union coal
miners all over the United States on
October 31st, is pretty serious all
over Iowa. The railroads are con-
fiscating all coal in transit, for their
own use, and in many Iowa towns
there is grave shortage. Many
towns have already closed their
schools churches and theatres, and
many have only coal enough for
their light and power plants to run
q few days. None of the Leon coal
dealers have any coal on hand, and
many people are entirely out. The
Leon schools are fortunate in having
stored their coal during the. summer,
there being enough ut the south
building to run all winter, and suf-
ficient at the north building to run
until after the first of the year. 1t
is reported the Iowa Southern Utillt.,
les Co. which furnishes the light and
power for Leon have sufficient coal
in storage at Centerville to run for
three weeks. The court house In
this city had only enough coal to
run until this morning, and unless
some can be secured, the county Of
ficials may have to close their Of
fices. The coal situation all over
Iowa, is very serious, and everyone
should conserve what coal they have
to the utmost
