COUNSEL FOR DRyS IN STATEMENT ID SENATE
 MAIllTAINS LAW CLEAR
SAYS CONGRESS HAS RIGHT TO PREVENT THE SALE OF BEER CONTAINING 2.75 PER CENT ALCOHOL AND DE-
 HANDS SUCH ACTION.

Washington, July 16-Au-. thority of Congress to fix one half of one per cent as the maximum alcoholic content of beverages in prohibition en- fOrcement legislation is clear, Wayne B. Wheeler, General Counsel of the Anti-SalOon League, declared today before the senate judiciary sub-com- mitee, in answering recent statements of Samuel Unter- meyer, counsel for brewers.
 ITO allow the sale of 2.75 beer" the liquor trade and defeat the pur- poses of national prohibition. Friends of prohibition do not want a code unless it defines intoxicating liquors"
 Thirty-three prohibition states, ana 13 local option states, MT. Wheeler said, have laws limiting alcohol in beverages. He challenged MT. Unter- meyer to produce any court decisions denying congress or state legislatures the right to make definitions.
 "ConEress cannot consistently adopt a weaker standard in defining the term than that already enacted in the states" said Mir Wheeler. This means nothing can be sold for bever age purposes that contains more than one-half of one per cent. alcohoL'
 Mir. Wheeler told the committee that prohibition advocates were not asking that possession of liquors bought before July 1 for personal use be prohibited. He added, however, that they were suggesting amend ments to the pending legislation to limit the amount of liquors which may be stored in private residences, so as to prevent homes from becoming speak-easies."
 Another amendment advocated by prohibition leaders, Mir. Wheeler said, is a provision for seizure of liquors in homes where it is sold illicitly.
 "Bootleggers will maintain their homes as headquarters without such legislation" he said.
 Two other amendments were urged by the witness. To prevent boot logging he asked, that the committee add clause making mere personal and physical possession of intoXiCants such as the presence of a bottle in an individuals pocket-unlaWIul- This is the most effective weapon of prohibition enforcement" said MT Wheeler and Senator Sterling sug- gested that the bill be extended so as to penalize purchase as well as sale of intoxicating beverages
 Mir. Wheeler also asked for sweep ing search warrant powers. suggest ing that seizures be authorized with out a warrant, or at least that war rants be issued without requiring testimony in support of requests l Otherwise, he said the liquor might | be removed before officers could act Senator Welsh, Montana, and other ! committee members, opposed eXten- sion of the bill search warrant provis- | ions anii also insisted that the provis- | ions pcnalizing searches with malce and without probable cause should remain.

EFFORTS TO STOP

National War Labor Board Will Give Decision "In
 Due Time"

Boston. July 16-A strike of the 1000 carmen of the Boston Elevated Railway Company appeared Immi- met today. The union which com prises most of the employees of the road continued It's plans for making effective it's strike order at Q. m. tomorrow, with q resultant paralysis of the street, subway and elevated car service of the city and some of the suburbs.
 Effort to avert the tieup were also continued during the day. but with no great promise of success.
 An appeal to the national war labor board 10 hasten its decision on the demands of the men for an eight hour day and a wage of 731A cents an hour met with a reply from w. Jett Lauck, secretary of the board, that the boards decision would be ''ren- dered in due time"
 The issues are considered especial ly important according to the railway trustees, because, it is said. the eight hour schedule is not in effect on any large street railway system in the country and in no case does a wage approaching 73 cents an hour obtain
 
 cents. Officials of the interna tiOna Street Garments union have taken 2 hand in the local situation and by telegrams to Secretary of Labor Will. son have endeavored to expedite ac- tion by the War Labor Board. Tn a tedegram from Washington tc James 1T. Vahey, counsel for the union, Secretary Lauck said the union should rescind the strike vote and re- main at work. The board, he said had had the case less than . nontt and in view of the issues involved he held the time spent in consideration to be not unreasonable.
 Difficulty in obtaining early actior by the board lies, according to word from Charlton Cgburn, it's chief ex. aminer, in the fact that it's join chair1nen are at widely separated points. Former President Taft a Potnte eau Ric. Quebec. and Basil M Manly at San Diego, California, tht chairmen, are in possession of the ev. idenCe, it Is understood, and a meet | ing in Chicago to discuss it has beer arranged for a. later date.

number were awaiting repairs.
 The strike of Seamen at Boston grew today and almost every ship which arrived from domestic ports was deserted by it's crew. Shipping board offices received orders from Washington to prepare to tie up in definitely all vessels operated by the board. Unless the Union accepts the terms of the board, it was said, men who have not struck will be dis charged, the supplies of the vessels will be placed in cold storage and guards will be placed on each ship in Boston harbor.
 Police guards including mounted men, were placed along the water front today as precaution against a renewal of the disorder which oc- cured last night when several hun dred strikers attempted to force from several ships men who had refused to strike. The strikers replied to this move by reinforcing their pickets, who coverd the terminals of all the large coastwtse companies as well as some of the piers of the trans-At- lantic lines.

WILSON TO HAVE
 CHARGE 0F BIG SHIP MANOEUvE:R

Newport. R. T.. July 16.---Adniral Henry B. Wilson. commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, will have the big ships manoeuver in the waters of Provincetown, Portland and Gardi- ners Bay during most of the summer according to word received here. This departure from the recent custom of using Narra.Eansett Bay as the battle ship base has caused some disappoint- ment and a change of plans among officers families who had come to Newport in the expectation of spend ing the summer here.
 Some years ago when the late Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans commanded the North Atlantic fleet he abandon ed Proyincetown as a base and sailed
 away with all his ships ore summer day because the town authorities would not permit his men to pl uJ baseball on Sunday. From that time until the United States entered the war the battleships came annually to Sarragansett Bay.
 Rear Admiral Charles P. Plunkett. commander of the destroyer squadron No. ., said today the active and re- scrve squadrons of Gestroyers of the Atlantic Fleet would be based on Newport for the present and would operate in Buzzards Bay, Block Island Sound and adjacent waters.

 til tomorrow, the foreign relations commission had opportunity today to devote several hours to the continua- ton of reading the peace treaty sec ton by section. It was expected that before night virtually the entire doc ument would be covered for the first tine but with all the sections provok- | ing objection reserved for future con- l sideration.
 1 About one-fifth of the text was gone over yesterday, the League of Ma l tions covenant and the section dealing with German boundaries being among the portions passed over to be taken up later.

Hirst, counsel to the New York State Brewers Associa- ton and the Society of Restaurateurs, in a statement explaining the treat ment Great Britain gave investors following the Licensing acts of 1904 and 1910. In the statement he said:
 AS a sovereign power the United Btates could not be made the defend ant in a civil suit, but 1t is possible that the claim of the British subjects may be made through diplomatic channels
 Tt is not surprising that the sub jects of Great Britain and other Euro pean countries cannot understand how their property may be summar- fly taken away from them without of hciaI inquiry and without compensa- ton. Under the English system of government there i5 no such couflsca- tory machinery as that which has been set up in the United States through the application of the so- called police power.
