Washington, Jan. 14.--"Friendly in
teryention" to restore stable govern
ment in Mexico, would receive the
support of many of the best class of
MeXicans, the number of whom would
increase. Edward Field Harvey, vice
president and manager of the va Guna
company of Mexico, testified today
before an examiner for the senate for :
eign relations subcommittee. Mr..
Harvey, who is a British subject, said
he spent five years in Mexico as a
representative of his company, which
he said, owned 650,000 acres of timber
and rubber lands. He advocated
blockade of all ports and occupation
of Mexico City. The first duty of the
United States after intervening, he
said, would be to call constitutional

"No greater menace to the Industrial

of Virginia.
Senatorial conferences today were
devoted almost exclusively to tht
leadership race between Senator
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, administra.

and Senator Underwood, of Alabama
former democratic leader in the
house. The democrats meet in eau
Gus tomorrow morning before the SEN

Managers of the Hitchcock and
Underwood campaign, while both
claiming victory, agreed tonight that
the democratic membership was very
evenly divided and that one vote

Effect of the democratoS leadership

variant positions taken recently by
Senator's Hitchcock and Underwood

urged unreserved ratification, Sena-

have been urging his election as an

BEVERAGES WITH
LOW ALCOHOLIC
CONTENT BANNED
tsS no.siss 10 J~aAL spsc,.. LEASED w,ssI


Washington, Jan. 14--In one of
the broadest constructions yet placed
on provisions of the act for enforce
ment of constitutional prohibition.
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
has ruled that fruit juices and elders
come within the dry ban If they con-
tain more than one half of one per
cent alcohol. The commissioners in
depreciation of the law was set forth
today in a memorandum charging
prohibition directors and inspectors
with the added duty of examining the
alcoholic content of such beverages.
The drastic regulation goes into ef-
feet with constitutional prohibition
January 16. Violation OF 1t carries
the same penalties for the manufact-
ure or sale of stronger liquors.
Officials, in discussing the ruling,
asserted that such step could not be
taken under war time prohibition nor
was it enforceable under the prohibit
ton laws of most OF the states.
Hitherto. the bureau of internal reve-.
nue. has held fast to the policy of as
sessing taxes against fermented
liquors containing more than one-half
of one per cent d cohol, 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 alcoholic
content increases even while In stor-I
age The department does not intend,
however, to guage all beverages thus
produced, officials said, but a watch
full eye" would be kept on these man
ufacturers and dealers. Natural fer
will offer no excuse for
evasion of the regulations. 1t was de-

ARGUMENT IN
MINERS HEARING
ARE COMPLETE

10y MORNING JOURNAL bptclh LhAskp WisEI
Washington, Jan. 14.-A third day
of argument before President Wilson'S S
commission for settling the coal
strike left it practically ready tonight
to proceed to the examinations of the
facts at issue between the miners and
their employers.
The last of six spokesmen for the
United Mine Workers of America
finished the preliminary statement Of
the case for the men today and Ralph
Crews counsel for the operators in
the central competitive district, like
wise completed the general statement
in opposition. Operators in the CEN
trail district will have one more argu-
ment, which will be made at the be-
ginning of tomorrow's session by Phil
II. Penna, of Terre Haute, Ind, and
therefore the commission will begin
consideration of testimony and docu-
mentary evidence.
Frank harrington of the Illinois
miners union. in closing for the min
ers, estimated the advance in living
costs since 1914 in Illinois mining cen
ters At from 10 to 17S per cent.
Yearly earnings of miners in Illinois,
however, he said had increased only
from approximately $500 in 1913 to
$3.50 in 1918. In the light of these
figures he said the miners claim for a
sixty per cent increase in wages and
a thirty hour week were justified
John L. Lewis, acting president of
the United Mine Workers, gave out a
statement explaining the thirty-hour
week demand as an endeavor by the
miners to distribute their work
throughout the year. Geological sur
vey estimates, Lewis said, showed that
the weekly operations of mines for the
thirty hours would supply all the coal
the country needed.
Attorney Crews opened for the ope-
rators with the declaration that the
sixty per cent wage increase was the
real issue before the commission. He
stamped the sixty per cent increase
demand as fraught with staggering
consequences,
Likewise, discussing the thirty
hour week, Crews said that it was an
incorrect economy theory which made
the miners leaders believe that such
system could be maintained.

LAWS WANTED To
STOP LYNCH|hGS
AND AGITATION
Department of Justice Report
Shows That |. w. w. Is
Trying to Create Unrest
Among Negro Population.


Washington, jim. 1A-Enactment
Of federal legislation to prevent lynch
ings and race riots was urged at the
initial hearing today OF a senate ju-
dietary subcommittee conducted un-
der the resolution providing for in
vestigation to recent riots and SUBJ
mission of a report to the senate sug-
gesting means of preventing recur-
renee of the disorders, Today's ses-
sion was devoted to federal jurisdic-
ton.
Senator Curtis. republican, Kansas,
author of the resolution, presented to
the subcommittee a copy of a report
of the department of justice showing
the activity of radical agltators among
negroes in various cities where riot
ing has occurred and describing the
manner in which these agitators have
conducted propaganda among nes-
groe to arouse unrest.
Alleged German Influence.
The report outlined an article by
r. A. Blossom. secretary of the /. W.
w. local at Paterson, N. j., textile
workers, designated to arouse negroes.
This article. the report said, was print
ed in the office of the Gary, Ind, Post
at the expense of Linn a. f.. Gale of
Mexico City. who, the report said,
was believed to be German agent,
1T seems to me-" said Senator Cur
tis, in presenting the report, that
there is Il very strong reason why the
general government should take hold
of this question and make a thorough
investigation of it and into the ac-
tivity of the radical element in this
country in working up race riots"
u S. Bratton, a white attorney of
Little Rock, Ark, who said his son
narrowly escaped lynching during the
recent race riots in that state, argued
in favor of federal legislation, declar-
ing the federal constitution guaran-
tees all citizens an impartial trial,
which mob rule denies. He declared,
however, that the recent troubles In
Arkansas was not due to radical agi-
tators but to the system of peonage
which he alleged prevailed in Arkan-
sas.
Should Have Attention.
"The conditions that exists there are
such as to demand the attention of the
federal government" Bratton said.
James Weldon Johnson, a former
United States consul in Nicaragua, but
now field secretary OF the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colored People. told the committee
that there recently had been sugges-
tions that the United States intervene
in Mexico because six Americans had
been killed, while during the same Pc
riod 36 negroes had been lynched in
this country,
