BEER DEALERS ARE IN
DANGER OF PROSECUTION
Attorney General Palmer Explains Of
fetal Statement Given Last Night
On Sale of Beer.

Washington, July 1.-'Dealers who
continue to sell beer are in danger of
arrest and prosecution" A. Mitchell
Palmer. attorney general, declared to-
day.
Explaining his official statement of
the course to be followed by the De-
partment of Justice in enforcing war
time prohibition, and which left doubt
as to whether dealers In 2.75 per cent
beer would be prosecuted Palmer
said:
81 have not granted amnesty or
authorized the sale of this beer"
The United States was dry today,
but not actually bone dry. under war
time prohibition.
Beer and in some instances light
wines still were being sold in many
cities, according to reports received
here.
Palmer's official statements of this
policy said he could not grant eX-
emption from prosecution to dealers
in 2.75 per cent. beer, although the
courts have not yet decided whether
the law applies to it, But at the same
time, the wording of his statement left
him free, 1t was held, to delay acting
against 2.75 per cent dealers until
the courts do rule, If he saw fit to take
that course.
This was interpreted generally as
meaning that dealers could continue
TO sell such beer at their own risk
and many took the risk.
There was no cloudiness, however
about Palmer's attitude toward hare
liquors. He announced fatty that al
dealers in such products would be pro
| secuted.
