NATIONAL DRY
BILL is DRASTIC

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Providing
for the most drastic prohibition Of the
manufacture, sale or barter Of alcoholic
beverages containing more than one
half Of per cent. Of alcohol, but con-
tanning no provision for the search aud
seizure Of such beverages intended for
personal consumption, the House Judi
ciary Committee reported out yester-
day a measure intended to effectuate
the war time prohibition carried in a
legislative rider to the revenue bill.
A special rule giving the measure
precedence in the House probably will
be asked by Chairman Webb. Of the
Judiciary Committee and the measure
probably will be crowded through the
House at this session. It Is considered
extremely prOblematical, however, If
the bill viii reach the calendar Of the
Senate this session in view of the con-
gested state Of legislative business at
that end Of the Capitol.
