Sterling Bill
Is Set Aside

Washington, Jan. 16.-The Ster-
ling anti-sedition bill, passed by the
senate last Saturday, was set aside
today by the house judiciary commit
tee which substituted for 1t the house
measure. originally drawn by Attor-
ney General Palmer. Members said
the senate bill was too drastic In
some of its provisions.
During senate discussions of the
Sterling bill attack was directed
chiefly against sections authorizing
the postmaster general to bar from
the mails publications violating the
terms of the act. 1t was contended
that this would set up q degree Of
peace time censorship.

7avy. $50 IN CASH.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 16.-Details of
the robbery which occurred at Mis-
sion Hill on Monday night, reached
the Sioux Falls police today. The
thieves succeeded in making their
getaway with more than $4,000
worth of silk, jewelry and merchan-
disc from the large general store
owned by Rosen and Muskill. No
trace has yet been found of the five
men, who are supposed to be impli-
Gated in the affair, although a thor
ough search is being made by the au-
thorities over the southern part OF
the state.
n,,l One feature of the robbery was
that the, men carried the large cash
register out of the building to the
railroad. tracks, nearby and demolish-
ed it, finding scarcely $50 for their
trouble. Mr., Rosen states that had
the register been opened the night
before they would have found $1,400
in it instead of $50. 1t is also be-
lieved the robbery was accomplished
hurriedly because of the fact that
many articles of value were left un-
touched, although there was no evil
dence of the men having made any
selection.
The plunder, which consisted Of
$500 worth of silk and quantities
of watches, jewelry, clothing and
merchandise, was loaded on a hand
car on the Great Northern railroad
and carried away in that way. Sew
eral suitcases were also taken and 1t
is presumed that the handcar was
abandoned at some point and the es-
cape completed with the plunder in
the suitcases. The robbers were
careful to scatter pepperl and cinna-
mon on the floor of the store to de-
stroy the scent in case pursuers wish
ed to use hounds.
The proprietors of the plundered
store have listed the stolen articles
and merchandise and are making ey-
cry effort in cooperation with the
authorities to locate the thieves.

FRUIT JUICES |.
I ARE PROHIBITED
BROAD CONSTRUCTION PLACED
4aoN THE PRoH1BuqyeN.AgT.E

Washington, Jan. 16.-In- one of
the broadest constructions yet placed
on provisions of the act enforce
ment of constitutional prohibition,
Prohibition Commissioner Kremer
has ruled that fruit juices and elders
come within the dry ban if they con-
tain more than one-half of l per cent
alcohol. The commissioners inter-
probation of the law, was set forth
today in memorandum charging
prohibition directors and inspectors
with the added duty of examining the
alcoholic content of such beveragej
The drastic regulation goes into
effect with constitutional prohibition
January 16. Violation of it carries
the same penalties as for the manu-
facture or sale of stronger liquors.
Officials, in discussing the ruling,
asserted that such step could not
be taken under wartime prohibition,
nor was it enforceable under the pro-
hibition laws of most of the states.
Hitherto, the bureau of internal rev.
enue has held fast to the policy of
assessing taxes against fermented IL
quors containing more than one-half
of l per cent alcohol, but actually
the regulation could not be applied
to elders and fruit juices because of
the technical language of the law, it
was said.
Strict enforcement of the regula-
tiOn will hold liable dealers in fruit
juices and elders in which the alco-
holic content increases even while in
storage. The department does not
intend, however, to gauge all bever-
ages thus produced, officials said, but
a "watchful eye" will be kept on
these manufacturers and dealers.
Natural fermentation will offer no ex-
cuse for evasion of the regulation, it
was declared.
Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 16.-Geo.
F. Crutchley, collector of internal
revenue here, announced today that
in accordance with his Interpretation
of the national prohibition act. sweet
cider and fruit juices will be classed
as prohibited beverages at midnight,
