EIGK-UPS IN CONFLICT
over LATE Cider order
Att'y-Gen'l Palmer in Response to
Sec'y Houston's Question
Gives Opinion
CIDER HELD SUI GENERIS
Palmer's Rule Claimed in Con-
fict with Existing Prohibi-
ton Regulations

Acknowledgement Palmer submitted
an opinion to the Secretary of the
Treasury which was made public on
December Is relative to the use of
cider in the home by its manufac-
turers. which is said to be i'll direct
conflict with the regulations of the
Bureau OF Internal Revenue. The
regulations OF the Bureau of Internal
Revenue specify that the use of cider
is permissible if it is Notwithstanding
in fact" although not necessarily con-
tanning less than one-half of per
cent alcohol.
Secretary Houston asked for an
opinion as to whether the term mon
Intoxicating cider and fruit juices"
means Notwithstanding in fact or con-
tanning less than one-half of l per
cent alcohol. The phrase occurs in
Section % of the Prohibition act,
which permits the manufacture OF
Misunderstanding cider for use in the
home without a permit. In answer
the Encouragement held the express
sion meant containing less than one
half OF | per cent, but added
In view, however, of what UNI
derstand Section % to mean,
am sure it would be misleading
for me to content myself with
this direct answer to your ques-
ton.
Congress seems to have recog-
nized the peculiar nature of cider.
When the Juice OF apples is
pressed out the immediate result
is cider. When this is done an
Intoxicating liquor even within
the definition of the Prohibition
Act, has not been produced, but
fermentation very shortly sets in,
producing alcohol, and all that is
necessary to convert 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
manufactured Intoxicating liquor.
Section % says to manufacture
this cider for use in the home
shall not be unlawful. Obviously
it does not mean for immediate
use or necessarily for use before
it has had time to ferment. |
think clearly the provisions means
that after being manufactured as
sweet or Notwithstanding cider
it may be kept in the home with
out violating this statute.
While the opinion is binding on
the Treasury, Prohibition enforce
ment officials intimated Mr. Palmer
might be asked to. reconsider his de-
cision in view of the conflict between
his contention and the existing reg
ulations.

FAMOUS" MILWAUKEE, HAS
ALSO FAMOUS GRAND JURY

A federal grand jury OF Milwaukee,
after hearing testimony relatingl to
violations of the Volstead Code and
indicting a number of bootleggers,
formulated memorial to Congress to
repeal the Volstead law or at least
permit the making and selling OF beer.
This is the same city that actually
gloried in the notoriety she received
some years ago as being the town
made famous by beer.

ms. HEADS AVER u. S.
GROWS THRIFTY

Indication of the growing
tendency toward national thrift
in this country since National
Prohibition is apparent in the
statistics submitted recently TO
the annual convention OF the
Association OF Life Insurance
Presidents at the Hotel Astor,
which as summed up by the
New York Tribune OF Decem-
Der 10, report ten billions in life
insurance gain during the year
1920 The Tribune said:
Despite the spirit OF re
trenchment in the United
States the people OF the
country are paying ten bill
lion dollars more this year
in life insurance than they
did last year. This repre-
sents a gain of p per cent
over the amount of insur-
ance sold last year; and
1910 in turn exceeds 1918
by O. per cent.

\ tentative understanding was
reached at a conference in Kansas
City on December Is OF federal and
state officials having TO do with the
enforcement of Prohibition laws, that
Prohibition violations in st. Louis
and Kansas City will be prosecuted
in the federal courts, and violations
in the state outside Of these two large
cities are to be prosecuted in the
state courts.
This plan was adopted because it is
feared the liquor criminals would not
receive adequate punishment at tho
hands OF state officials in the cities.
The plan furthermore is subject to
modification and SO far as the city of
St Louis is concerned can be COM
pletely set aside by special Assistant
Attorney-General Higgs in charge OF
Prohibition prosecutions. His policy
is to prosecute in the federal courts
only such cases as are not violations
of the state law and cases in which
the evidence was collected by federal
agents.
Federal Prohibition agent Frank T.
Digees told the conference that he
would endeayor to induce the assist
ant encouragement to prosecute the
police-made cases in the federal
court
Superintendent W c. Shupp of the
Missouri Anti-Saloon League was
present at the conference and particle
pated in the discussions.

CANTON, O., STAGES FIRST
VOLSTEAD AUCTION SALE

SO far as known, the first sale of
property for the payment of a special
tax under the Nolstead Act took place
in Canton, Ohio. where the revenue
department confscated and sold at
auction a pool room to collect a tax
in excess of two thousand dollars.
Federal officers acted in this case on
the authority of the Nolstead law
which doubles the tax OF one thou
sand dollars imposed by the revenue
department Among the articles sold
at the auction were four pool tables,
fixtures and large quantity of cigars
and cigarettes.

Representatives of the Anti

states recently held law en-
forcement conference in New
York City. The states repre-
scented were Connecticut, Mas
sachusetts, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island. A vigorous protest
against the issuance OF liquor
permits to wholesale liquor
dealers for 1921 was made. The
conference declared that such
permits are not recognized by
the Nolstead law. The confer
ence also sent a strong appeal
to Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer on this point.

PHILADELPHIA GENERAL
HOSPITAL HARD HIT

A press dispatch of July 10 says
that since Prohibition became oper-
alive commitments to the Philadel-
phia general hospital have become so
few that the chores around the insti-
tuition which used to be done by alco-
holic patients will have to be done by
hired help. Accordingly Director of
Health Furbush announced that he
would ask for the transfer of $4,000
to petty payroll for orderlies and
attendants at the hospital.

year the alcoholic cases have
dropped from sixty to six and
there has not been one case OF
drug addiction applying for help.
Commenting on this point, DIR.
Worcester said that the Prohibition
laws have been rigidly enforced in
Massachusetts and that their bene-
fetal effect is noticeable in every part
of the state in the emptying of the
jails and reformatories and the re-
duction in the number OF alcoholic
and drug cases encountered. There
has also been reduction in the num-
Der of new cases of insanity OF the
type induced or aggravated by alco-
holism.

BIRD S. COLER SPEAKS FOR
NEW YORK

Bird S. Coler, commissioner oi New
York Department of Public Welfare
is quoted in the New York Evening
Post Magazine Of April "a as saying
The results from the disuse of
alcoholic liquors have been more
astounding to my mind than even
the claims of the most ardent adj
vocatcs of Prohibition. Anyone
sitting in my place with its
chances for observing what works
for the welfare of the people and
the betterment of civilization
could take no other stand than
to make a firm resolution to pre-
sent the facts to the American
people. Despite many thousands
OF patients cared for during the
epidemic OF influenza during the
first quarter of the year, the num-
Der of admiss jens to Kings
County hospital in Brooklyn was
one-third less than during the
first quarter OF last year. At the
municipal lodging house in East
25tl street, the number OF men
lodged During the same three
months) was only one-sixth of
what it was in the same month
OF last year. The prison pspu-
lat;on decreased by Is per cent
last year as compared with the
preceding year.

Chicagoans are Warned Hip
Pocket Celebrants and Tigers
Will be Arrested
EVERY CAFE PICKETED
Bonifaces Declare Prohibition has
Not Interfered with Hotel
Business

Frank D. Richardson, regional Pro-
hibition director to Chicagoans, on
December 20 announced that New
Years Eve was going to be bone dry,
and advised all celebrators to leave
booze at home.
He has announced his intention to
arrest all hip-pocket jewellers, and
the proprietors and managers of cafes
in which they elect to bid farewell to
the old year. He is quoted in the
Chicago Daily News as saying:
/ shall have watchers posted in
every cafe, hotel and other public
place where refreshments are
served. ! am sending out warn
ngs to the proprietors of those
places that they will be held re-
sponsible for any violations of
the Prohibition law which may
occur in their establishments
New Years Eve.
Persons who violate the law by
carrying hip liquor and attempt
ing to pour it at meals will be
summarily arrested, and so will
the waiter and proprietor of the
place. There will be no fooling
about It,
My advice to anyone who is
planning a safe celebration Of
New Years Eve is to leave the
hip-pocket course at home. They
might get away with it, but again
they might have to start the new
year in Jail and that is poor way
to turn over a new leaf
Prohibition has not interfered with
the usual record New Years trade in
hotels and restaurants. Frank W.
Boring, manager of Hotel Sherman
of Chicago, is quoted as saying:
Our reservations for New
Years are as good as ever. They
are even better than they were
last year when it was demon
strated that Prohibition has not
dried up the spirit which drives
people to seek entertainment on
New Years Eve
Personally do not believe
Prohibition has much bearing on
the celebration. Even in the old
days there were many persons
who did not drink, who merely
went out on New Years eve be-
oause they enjoyed the crowds
and bright scenes.
Ernest J. Stevens, manager OF Ho-
tel LaSalle, Chicago said
We arc getting about the usual
number OF reservations. All our
dining rooms will be open New
Years Eve and we expect to
have them full. So far as it is
within our power we shall CO.
operate with the government in
enforcing the law.
I'VE have a big crowd scheduled"
said F. r. Florentine, assistant man
ager of the Congress Hotel Chicago
1T is a relief rather than anything
else to know we will not have to put
a special guard around the fountain
to keep celebrators from taking i'm
promptu baths. Prohibition Commits
sioner Richardson can count on our
cooperation"
