"Offenders against the July 1 act will be treated exactly as are viola tors of other federal laws United States District Attorney John F. Crosby said late yesterday Dealers or others selling liquor in violation of the act will be put under arrest on the strength of evidence secured by the bureau of Investigation They will be taken into custody on war rants issued by the United States commissioner, will then be brought before him for arraignment and bonds will be fixed exactly as in other cases.''
 Yesterday afternoon MT. Crosby issued a formal statement notifying liquor dealers that sales of 2& per cent. beer will be taken as evidence and that such sales are made at their peril,'' later declaring that in case dealers sell beer and wine with a low alcoholic content he will use the evidence collected by agents of the department of justice, and that obtained through other sources, as a basis for federal prosecution inn mediately upon receiving a decision against the dealers from the courts. Evidence taken today, he said, can be made the basis for a prosecution whenever a decision is brought in.

MYSTERY OF CHARLIE ROSS
 UNSOLVED AFTER 45 YEARS

Any person having knowledge of the whereabouts of Charles Brewster Ross, aged 49, will confer a favor by not1fying-almost anybody any where. The whole civilized world was interested in the fate or Charlle Ross who was abducted 45 years ago today from his home in Ger rnantown, Philadelphia. Some of the best detectives and newspaper sleuths of the United States, Canada and Europe have sought to solve the mystery of the disappearance of this four-year-old boy, but all failed 'Numberless clues were followed. and although some of them shed light on the motives of the child's kidnap- pers, Charles Ross himself was never found. Both of his parents are dead' but other members of the Ross fam fly continue to receive letters relat- ing to the mysterious case.
 Charles Brewster Ross was the son of Christian K. and Sarah Ann Ross, well to do and respected Philadel- phians. On the 1st of July, 1S74, Charlie was playing with his nine year-old brother, Walter, near the Ross home. when they were accost- ed by two men in a buggy, who offer ed to give them ride. The lads were at first reluctant, but when the added lure of candy was held out they accepted the offered ride After the vehicle had gone short distance Walter was given some money 10 buy Fourth of July frecrackers, and was told to get out. The men then drove away with Charlie.
 The kidnappers demanded ran- som of $20,000, making their de- mand through newspaper advertise ments and by letters. MT. Ross found 1t impossible at that time to raise tho sum asked, but friends, and even strangers, offered to contribute to the fund. The whole world sym pathized with the bereaved parents, and If money could have saved the boy, 1t would have been forthcoming in almost any amount. The abduct- ors were frightened by the storm of pubic wrath they had raised, and, realizing that they. could not get the money without risk of arrest they finally dropped the negotiations Most of the communications were mailed in Trenton, Newark and Elizabeth. but 1t was the belief of the police that the child had been taken to Canada, or possibly to Eng land Tho police of Canadian and

English cities joined in the search. Not day passed without it's clue and the distracted father made trips see boys who were thought to be his son. f
 In the December following Charl1a Ross abduction two New York rivek pirates were shot while engaged in a burglary in Brooklyn. One of them was instantly killed, but the other survived a little while, and with his dying breath said something of which only Charlie Ross was in telEgible. It was then found that the police of New York and Phila-' delphia had suspected these two criminals, Kosher and Douglass. of the abduction. Subsequent investi- gations seemed to bear out this the-s ory, but if the river pirates were the kidnappers they carried their secret with them to the grave.
 A reward of s20,0oO was offered for the return of the boy. but it was never claimed. Until her death ifl Charlie would be restored to her. A number of men have claimed to be Charlie Ross, but most of them have been notoriety seekers or, at best, honestly mistaken. While it is pos-: sible that Charlie Ross may be living today, 1t is very unlikely, and there is every probability that he suc- cunbbed to neglect and homesickness within a few months of his abeuc- tion.

STRICT RULE ON
 SALE OF ALCOHOL FOR MEDICAL USE

Washington, July 1 - Stringent regulations governing the sale of al- cohol for medicinal purposes were issued yesterday by the bureau of internal revenue.

In no case shall a physician prescribe alcoholic liquors unless the patient is under his constant personal supervision.
 ''An prescriptions shall indicate clearly the name and address of the patient, including street and apart ment number of any, the date when written, the condition or illness for which prescribed, and the name of the pharmacist to whom the pre- scription is to be presented for fill- ing''
 Similar detailed restrictions on the sale of alcohol by drug stores were promulgated. All prescriptions must be preserved and once a month a list of physicians prescribing alcohol, the
 
 quantity dispensed to each patient during the month must be transmit ted to the collector of internal reve- nue.
 Pharmacists were advised to refuse to fill prescriptions if they had req son to believe that physicians were dispensing for other than strictly legf- innate medicinal uses or that a pa tient was obtaining through several physicians quantities in excess of the normal amount.
 Liquor dealers. wholesale and re- tail, having stocks on hand, may sell to pharma cists holding permits until the present stocks are exhausted. AL cohol for internal use must pay the tax of S6.40 a gallon, while alcohol medicated to render it unfit for bev- craze use will be taxed at $2.2O,
 Wine used for sacramental purpos- es may continue to be made in quan- titles not exceeding 1000 gallons if production and distribution are en- tirely under clerical supervision. It must pay the usual tax. Collectors were ordered to investigate carefully and report fully to the commissioner any complaints that existing regula- tions were inapp1icable to the estab- lished procedure of any recognized re- ligiOuS body.
