Brewers Adopt
2.75 Standard
In State Fights
Insist Concurrent Power"
Clause in Law Gives Each
Commonwealth Right to
Define Legal Percentage
Ask Uniform Legislation
Scientific Tests Arranged
to Prove That Proposed
Basis Is Not Intoxicating
Special Dispatch to The Tribmne

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 26.-Declar-
ing for 2.75 beer standard in state
legislation, to be enacted under the
Concurrent power" provision, so-called.
of the Eighteenth Amendment, repre-
sentatives Of the brewing industry cut
other branches of the liquor trade in q
new declaration of policy at the closing
session of the emergency convention
OF the United States Brewers Asso-
citation to-day at the Hotel Traymore.
The first plank of the new platform
upon which all brewers are urged to
take their stand asserts that the Fed
eral prohibition amendment applies to
Intoxicating liquors" solely. A sec-
ond plank sets forth that the brewing
industry has been advised by counsel
that under the concurrent power"
clause each state has the right to set
up its own machinery of enforcement
and to adopt its own definition of in
toxicating liquor in accordance with
actual fact as demonstrated and estab-
lished by scientific finding.
A third plank declares that the most
exhaustive scientific tests and the tes-
timony Of recognized experts have es-
tablished with certainty that bever-
age containing not to exceed 275 per
cent alcohol by weight is not intox-
icating.
Expressing qualification that "this
fact has not been denied by the legal
representatives Of the Fedora, govern
ment," the convention voiced the sent-
nent that it is "obvious.v desirable"
that legislation enacted by the sew
eral states under the concurrent
power provision shall be as uniform
as may be, and urged that wherever
brewers are consulted with regard to
enforcement legislation they advocate
the 275 standard. The reason ad-
vanced for this policy is that "bevar-
ages which contain not exceeding
that proportion of a'cohol are non
intoxicating, which fact can be main
tanned legally and Scientifically"
Hugh Fox, secretary of the United
States Brewers Association, said that
the 400 association and non-association
brewery owners in the conference had
been amazed" by the strength of the
case and the force of the arg ments'
outlined by W. D. Guthrie, of New
York, associate counsel with Elihu
Root in the attack upon the Eighteenth
Amendment before the United States
Supreme Court. Mr.. Guthrie reviewed
the situation in an executive session.

Legal Aid for Poor Urged

Meeting of Society

mares +; hughes, who at the annual
meeting Of the Legal Aid Society. held
IN his office at 96 Broadway YESTERDAY
urged the society to continue and -
extend its work. The society for many
years has been giving legal aid and
advice to worthy persons who are with
out means to pay their own expenses
in the courts.
After pointing out that during the
last year the society has conducted
3a,35b cases at an expense Of S4I05l
and that Sl30.S59 has been recoveres
for clients. Mr.. Hughes referred to the
report OF Leonard Mctee, the society's
attorney. Mr.. McGee discussed the re-

Police Must Hold Men
With Women, Says Court
Judge Wadhams Rules That
Law Is To Be Enforced
Against Male COmDaniOns

Men arrested with women charged
with immoral acts are equally guilty
and should be held for trial with their
companions, Judge Wadhams, of Cen
eral Sessions, stated in q decision filed
yesterday.
Critizing the police custom Of ar
resting women and letting the men go,
practice which he declared can be
tolerated no longer, Judge Wadhams
reversed the conviction Of Beatrice Ed
wards, who was arrested In April last
for vagrancy. He ordered her dis
charged. Magistrate Mcclellan had
found her guilty and placed her on
probation.
"The men create the market and the
women who supply the demand pay the
penalty" the decision said. at is time
this discrimination and injustice should
cease. The law is clear and the duty
of the police is to act in pursuance of
the law
"The practical application of the law
as heretofore enforced Is an unjust
discrimination against women. {.
Is the public purpose not to enforce
the law? If SO, 1t is hypocrisy to let
it remain upon the statute books. As
long as it is on the statute books it
must be mpartially administered with
out sex discrimination"
Judge Wadhams, who has recently re-
versed several magistrates convictions
on such charges, said that policemen
and magistrates must be guided by the
amendment to the vagrancy act passed
by the Legislature last May, holding
the man equally guilty with the woman.
Judge Wadhams sailed for France
last week He left orders that his de-
cision was to be filed yesterday.

Turn That Vacant Lot
Into A PRODUCING Garden!

Vacant city lots would not De OF
much value for growing corn or wheat,
but these valuable pieces of dirt are
often just the place for growing a
good vegetable garden.
Often the soil is rough and covered
with stones and all sorts of waste ma
terials, but most people who live in
cities and towns do not get enough
outdoor exercise anyway, and the
labor necessary to clean off the trash
and pile the stones to one side will
do them good.
Some of the best home gardens have
been grown on vacant lots that were
not much more than a stone pile to
begin with. In one case enough old
foundation stones were removed to
build wall along the two exposed
sides of the lot. The soil was then
leveled and few small loads of ma
nure spaded into it.
The garden was planted while neigh
boring apartment-house dwellers look
ed on from their windows, doubt writ
ten on every face, but the garden grew
and flourished, and many were the
smiles of appreciation of the good
things that were handed them by the
owner of the garden.
If the land is not shaded too great
part of the time, almost any vacant
lot can be turned into food garden
but it is often necessary, pretty near
ly, to make" the soil.

den will be sent on application to the

ture, Washington, D. G..
