NOW HAVE CIDER.
Attorney General Decides Lawful to
Possess Juice of the Apple.

Attorney General Decides Lawful b
Possess Juice of the Apple.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-Use of cider
In the home by Its manufacturer, ever
after it has become intoxicating, Il
lawful and without the bounds Of the
prohibition enforcement act, accord
ing to an opinion submitted to the
secretary of the treasury by Attorney
General Palmer and made public to
day.
The opinion is In conflict with the
regulations of the bureau Of internal
revenue, which state home made cider
must be Notwithstanding in fact" al
though not necessarily containing less
than one-half Of one per cent of al
cOhol
Secretary Houson asked for an
opinion as to whether the term mon
intoxicating cider and fruit juices
means non-intoxica ting in fact or con-
tanning less than one-half Of one per
cent Of alcohol. The phrase occurs in
section 20 Of the prohibition act,
which permits manufacture of non-in-
toxicating cider for use in the home
without permit.
In answer the attorney general held
that the expression meant containing
less than one-half of one per cent, but
added:
'In view, however, of what / un-
derstand section 20 to mean, I am
sure It would be misleading for me to
content myself with this direct answer
to your question"
Congress intended by section % to
prohibit the sale, but not the manu-
facture of intoxicating cider for use in
the home, the opinion said.
Congress seems to have recognized
the peculiar nature of cider" the at
torney general declared. "Fermenta-
ton very shortly sets in, producing al
cohol and all that Is necessary to con-
vert the cider into an intoxicating
liquor Is the lapse of short time.
Broadly speaking. one who has
manufactured cider which has not yet
had time to ferment has not manu-
factured intoxicating liquor"
Section 8 has sought to make It
clear, 1t was not intended that one
who manufactured cider and kept 1t In
bis. home for beverage purposes until
1t fermented would be guilty of pos
sessing intoxicating liquor unlawfully,
the opinion stated.
Section 20 says that to manufacture
this cider for use in the home shall
not be unlawful" Mr. Palmer assert
ed. obviously it does not mean for
Immediate use or necessarily for use
before 1t has had time to ferment
think clearly the provision means that
after being manufactured as sweet
and Notwithstanding cider, It may be
kept in the home for future use with
out violating this statute"
Possession Of intoxicating liquor is
not prohibited by the eighteenth
amendment, he explained, and the
only offense against the enforcement
act, which manufacturer Of cider for
use in the home could be guilty of,
would be Of having 1t In his possession
after 1t ferments and produces alcohol.
by the provision above quoted" he
said, Il think congress has, at least by
necessary implication, provided that
the possession by the manufacturer OF
cider, even after it has in fermenta-
tion become intoxicating, shall not be
unlawful so long as he holds It exclu
sively for use IN the home or for sale
to those having permits or to make vim
egar."

Loudermlk, proprietor of small restaurant on Thirteenth street, died at Sellers hospital Saturday morning. without being able to disclose the identity of the man who killed niin. The only intelngible statement made by the dying man was to the effect that he was attacked by man well known in the city"
 Mrs. Loudermilk was awakened just before midnight by the struggles Of her husband, and stated to officers, who were called imm ediately, that she saw a white man run out of the room and leave the rooming house in which they lived by way of the front door. One of the dead mans little girls, who was aroused by the commotion in the room, claimed that she saw-a negro leave the room and depart from the building by way of the back stairway.

 Montgomery, December 1s.-(Special.)- Mike Busby's dream of years has been shattered
 He is a resident of Baldwin, just across the river from Mobile. and his pet hallu- cination was that he was capable Of erecting an illicit still which could be kept forever from the gaze of revenue and pro- hibition officers. But that dream is myth and his still is now a pile of ruins. Busby operated near the river. He had several boats, but he had particular one he used in his distilling. He had built his still across the river one-haIf mile from his home, but he had only one way to get to it which carried him circuitous route of two and one-hall miles. When the river was crossed there was only one spot where he could get into pond which was near the still anu only a boat of no more than IS inches wide could go through the narroWs. Once across the river and into the pond he could reach the still with a few strokes of the oars.
 Busby figured this was safe. But the prohibition officers outfigured hin. Ol-

FIRST ASSEMBLY
 MEETING CLOSES
Has Proved League Living Or ganism and Success, De-
 cIareS President
By Associated Press

| Geneva, December 1S.-The first ! meeting of the assembly of the League of Nations closed this evening in a
 through one of the fullest days of it's existence in a rather agitated and not always clear debate.
 In farewell speeches, Paul Hymans, president of the assembly, and Dr. Giuseppe Motta, President of Switzer- !, land, told the delegates the first as
 sembly had proved the league was a living organism and a success. The opinion expressed by the delegates who have participated most actively in the work was that it has done all
 that had been expected if not more. number of pet projects have met with disaster; yet there are few. if any, delegates who remained for the
 entire assembly that will leave dissat- isfied with the work of that body. The final day was marked by an- other encounter between the English delegates and the representatives of the British dominions.
 Lord Robert Cecil, acting for South Africa, and c. J. Doherty for Canada, provoked an aggressive and signifi-
 cant declaration by Arthur J. Ralfour to the effect that If the assembly adopted any resolutions concerning ! mandates he ans his successor on the league council would pay no atten- tion to them
 The recommendations were adop-e
 unanimously, MT. Belfour contenring himself by saying they would have no effect instead of voting against them. Esperanto fell victim to a sharp assault by Gabriel Hanotaux when the committee reported in favor of an ex- pression of the assembly adopted with the object of encouraging the general teaching of esperanto in the public schools with view to making it even-
 tually an international language and the language of the league. After a
 debate. the assembly voted against the
 proposal.
 M. Hymans, in his closing speech,
 dwelt upon the fact that the session tf
 the assembly demonstrated to all the
 value of the league of nations. The league has developed a con-
 sciousness," he said, 'and now resolves
 to live, and will live Through the set-
 ting up of an international court of
 Justice, the assembly has established a
 house of right and a palace of peace"
 The activities of the assembly re-
 specting typhus he declared to be a
 magnificent demonstration of human
 solidarity. When the assembly spoke
 of disarmament, NJ. Hymans said, the
 members of that body displayed keen
 anxiety to lift the weight of armaments
 from the shoulders of the world, but at
 the same time realized that In the pres
 ent unsettled conditions of Europe
 nothing better could be done than had been.
 He referred to the fraternal spirit shown by the assembly, the members of which were separated only by opin- lon, not by principles. He appealed to l the youth of the world, the men of to- morrow, those who fought in the great war to construct a moral world indis- pensable to the future of mankind, and l concluded:
 Let us continue our ascending march toward the stars"

 But Not Until $8,OOO Is Garnered

ficer Scarborough received reports that a still was being operated near Busoy
 home. He inspected the boats. On the lit te one he saw little cuts which indi- cated that it had been forced against spikes or nails. His investigation showed
 large nails on billings driven into the
 water at the one spot where there was an entrance to the pond from the river. This little clue led him to the still. t1tty- five gallons of syrup and all supplies needed for the manufacture of liquor ana an SS-gallon copper still were destroyed.
 Busby was arrested at his home. He
 said there wasn'tA man in the world who
 could find his little pet still. I'll give S100 to any man who will take me to IL,
 he said. He was then told it was not nec7 essary that it was no more. and had gene to that place where it would quietly rest in pieces.
 bank book taken from Busby showed deposits of more than $500 since the mlo- dle of August Eight hundred dollars was located in Busbys home. He put S4oo m currency in his pocket. locked $4" ol silver in a trunk, closed his door ana went with the officers.
