IS BEER MEDICINE?
Prohibition Commissioner 10 Decide the
Matter Soon.

Washington, Feb. 20.--Can just plain
old beer bo used for medicinal purpoHes3
This question IL causing some further
trouble for the enforccrs and the inter
prefers of prohibition legislation, also some
hope for the few thousand or moro thirsty
individuals throughout tho country who
contend beer has always beon regarded
as having wonderful medicinal properties.
The Volstead Enforcement law did not
regard beer as having medicinal values.
Tho law provided for tho sale of spirit
uous liquors through prescription Of
physicians, but no word was said Of beer
because Mt that time the prohibitionists
took the attitude that beer WAS not n fit
thing TO prescribe"
Now, according To the opinion Of many
authorities, IL is found that there ls no
legislation to prevent n physician pre-
scrihing barrel Of beer every week. In
fact, it has been reportcd that at least one
brewery is preparing to produce beer for
sale across the counters Of drug stores.
There seems TO be considerable demand
for the product.
At the offices of Tho Prohibition Com
missioner, it was said yesterday, this
question had been presented and that
some ruling would be made within n
few days.

PLUMB PLAN LEAGUE MEETING

Newark should feel proud of the
honor of entertaining Mr.. Glenn E.
Plumb, the celebrated Washington
attorney and speaker, author of the
Plumb Plan of the public operation
of railroads, who will speak at the
high school auditorium next Monday
evening under the auspices of the
Plumb Plan League of this city.
Cities of the size of Newark are
not usually thus honored, but owing
to the hard work Of the hustling COM
mittee of live wires and the import
ance of the city as a railroad center,
Mr.. Plumb was sent here. 1t is now
up to the union men Of Newark and
those who are in sympathy with the
movement to see that every seat is
occupied on Monday night. Rest as
sured that many traitors and enemies
of the cause will work against it, so
get busy, turn out and bring friend
along. You will hear much that will
interest you and the great and only
B. & o. Glee Club will render a num-
ber of their matchless selections.
Don't miss it.

RAILS STRONG; LIBERTY
BONDS RECEDE"

The above are newspaper headlines
of what happened on the stock market
on the passage of the Cummins-Esc
Bill.
We want you to understand what
this means. Every worker and every
farmer in America should understand
what this means.
1t means that the Liberty Bonds
subscribed by twenty million people,
and mostly by the poor; paid for
patriOtically, often at great sacrifice,
have gone down in value; down in
fact to their lowest point. 1t means
on the other hand that rail stocks
and bonds have shot up in value,
some of them as much as S points on
the dollar.
Your Government sold you its "Win
the War" securities on a basis of
from 312 to Az per cent.
Two years later your Government
guaranteed the railroads a return of
six per cent on their securities.
The money you paid was hard cash,
dollar for dollar.
The railway securities your Gov
ernment guaranteed represented fifty
years of watering, of speculation, of
stock jobbing, often of corruption.
The 31a to 4 per cent "win the war"
securities have fallen some of them
10 per cent in value. The "water-and-
wind" securities of the railroads have
been increased, some of them by an
equal amount in value. Even the
wrecked and debauched New Haven,
Rock Island and Pere Marquette,
jobbed and sacrificed by Wall Street
gamblers, shot up under the Govern
ment subsidy. They have been the
chief gamers from this bill.
Twenty millions of Liberty Bond in
vestors have been defrauded by the
Government. The action of the Gov
ernment has converted railroad Sc
curities into gilt-edge bonds, backed
by the labor Of 100000 people.
This same insuring of per cent to
railroad securities has deprecated
the value of the patriotic Liberty
Loan securities.
Not only this, but Congress has
made it possible for the railroads to
validate and enjoy 6 per cent upon
from six to nine billions of wholly
fictitious, wholly fraudulent securi-
ties. These too are to be guaranteed
6 per cent, while your securities, the
securities of the poor, of the worker
and of the farmer, are being discount
ed day by day by the same bankers
who are enjoying the guarantee
which your Government has given
them.
This indefensible act of the Gov
ernment has impoverished the poor
by hundreds of millions. 1t has en-
riched the rich by thousands of mil
lions.
Wall Street overlooked no bets in
the railroad bill. Not content with
enriching itself, it has still further
impoverished tens of millions of those
who had no voice in Congress to safe
Guard their investments,

to land Gene, but Gene has not Topped
into minor or oily ranks thus far.
There was n recent ruling made to
the effect that all jumpers from organ
lied baseball would be on the blacklist
for term of five years. Hence many
Of the major league players who have
been made offers have hesitated.
This hesitation has caused lot OF
embarrassment among the so called in
dependent clubs. The season In waning
day by day. The races are getting close
and many of the richer clubs are shriek-
ing for talent. A number of these
thought they had major league players
signed up and that they would report.
But the major gentlemen Of baseball
are hanging on to their meal tickets in
organized baseball.
It is known that Paulette has seri
ously considered hopping into lower
but softer ranks. Recently Manager
G. Cravath walked straight into Genes
boudoir and asked him IL he were dis
satisfied and, IL so, to name his figure
and he would see what could be done.
Evidently something was done. for Gene
has smilingly been cavorting around the
first sack since. W
In regard to this latest offer here IL

travelled the great naval blimp, which
early in the day had put out from the
Long Island shore.
Five Knot Wind
At 3 o'clock the yachts were still
holding the starboard tack. which they
took on crossing the starting line,
although seemingly able to make the
mark on the port tack. Resolute was
more than half mile to windward of
Shamrock and less than half that dis
tance astern.
The wind. which had been streaky
and uncertain, increased to FIVE knots,
and 1t looked like a completed race,
although with very late finish.
At 1902, Resolute tackled to port and
headed for the mark, Shamrock tacking
thirty seconds later, with Resolute
nearly mile ahead.
At 3 10 the wind had increased to six
knots. Shamrock took in her No.
3 baby jib topsail and set a smaller
one rather slowly. Resolute gained a
trihe during the shift.
The yachts picked up more breeze
while out at sea and at 3 30 were NOV
ing along fairly fast. Resolute still
maintained her distinct advantage over
her rival and at this time, barring acci-
dent, looked to be winner, as Shamrock

Rcsolute carried staysails, lib, No. .

Shamrock was first to break away to
starboard ut 3 :21, followed at once by
Resolute. Shamrock held it only three
minutes, when she came about In port
again, being very slow In stays. Reso-
lutte held on.
Resolute went about on the starboard
tack at precisely 8 80, while the Upton
boat came about on the port tack, again
splitting tacks with the defender. After
a short hitch on the starboard tack,
Resolute went about again on the port
tack and Captain Burton elected to tack
to starboard again with the challenger.
Shamrock Holds Her Own
At 8 :35 the mark Of the first turn
was about four miles from Resolute
and about six miles Of the thirty mile
course had been covered.
Shamrock tackled to port at 8 40. She
seemed to carry bit Of afr with her
that the defender was not getting and
moved along quite rapidly. Resolute
continued to sail high'in the wind and
was showing a clean, well defined wake
to her rival. Two minutes later Res
olute also came about on the port tack.
At 3 100 p. m, with both boats almost
heading for the mark three miles
distant, range finders on the de-
stroyer Goldsbrough showed Resolute
