Brewers to Claim
Anti-Beer Bill Is
Unconstitutional

New York. Nov. 2S.-Belief that the
snti-beer bill just signed by Presi-
cent Harding could be attacked as ur-
constitutional was expressed tonight
ny w. II. Hirst. general counsel for
New York brewers.
One ground for attack, he asserted,
was that the law Disseminated against
eeer and in favor of other alcoholic Ii
Quors for medicinal purposes.
Moreover, he asserted the eighteenth
amendment could not be legally inter
p'eted as permitting Congress to Gin
ertere' other than with liquors In
ENDED for beverage purposes.

''oi'y Of the law, Mr.. Hirst continued:
Inc brewers are not greatly con-

morning Samuel Porello, II, son of
Patsey Porello, Westbrook fruit

TO CONSIDER 3 POINTS

Washington, Nov. 25--(By A. P)-
When the arms delegates quit work
for the Thanksgiving day recess these
considerations embraced the central
points of interest in their discussions:
Whether the effort to apply gener-
ally accepted principles to specific
cases in the Far East would bring
definite accomplishments or only lead
to futile debate.
Whether in view of the position of
France and the general situation. in
Europe, any serious attempt should
be made to agree on a limitation of
land armament.
Whether a way can be found to
hasten consideration of details of the
naval limitation plan, which is pro-
ceeding smoothly, but too slowly to
satisfy some of the delegates. OF
these questions the first was brought
sharply to the fore tonight by several
direct clashes Of opinion regarding
elements of the Far Eastern negotia-
tons. At today's executive session of
the nine delegations the right of the
Chinese delegates to speak for the
whole of China was reported to have
been questioned by France and later

Intention to carry his case to the

nal proceedings brought against him,
was announced by Mr.. Pelletier. Short
~ before noon he filed his petition ask
ing specifically for a writ of rrohibi-
ton to restrain further action on the
original information filed by Atty.
Gen. Allen on the ground that the
statute under which the attorney gen
eral brought his action was unconsti-
tutional.
Prior to this action Mr.. Pelletier
notified the court he was ready for an
immediate hearing of Mr.. Aliens lat

based on an alleged statement by the
. district attorney during his campaign
for mayor of Boston that he would mol
pros the case of anyone who backed
up his denial that he intended to re-
sign. Mr.. Pelletier entered a general
denial of the latest charges.
Later in the day the district attor-
ney filed a request for a bill of partc-
ulars of the allegations in the original
proceedings for his removal.

HAYNES PLEASED

Washington, Nov. 23.-Passage of
the anti beer bill marks a new step
forward in the enforcement Of prohi-
bition," Commissioner Haynes said
tonight in formal statement.
The act, he said, strengthens the
hands of the prohibition forces in
dealing with the alleged medicinal
preparations sold on the open mar
kct and used for beverage purposes
and also limits the activities of 1.-The
few physicians" who were issuing
prescriptions for liquor to people not
actually requiring it.
mo embarrassment in the enforce
ment of prohibition" Mr.. Haynes
said, 'is anticipated from the provi-
sion imposing penal liability upon Of
ficers searching dwellings without
warrants and searching other prop,
erty without warrants maliciousiy
and without reasonable cause. The
officers are given fair warning that
they must not search dwellings, with
out warrants and no attempts to do
so will be made. 1t will be very
rare case in which under the act, an
officer can he prosecuted on account
Of search of other property. Before
case against an officer, can be sus-
tanned, it will be necessary to show
not only that the officer did not. have
warrant but that he acted malie-
iously and without probable cause.
1T therefore appears that so long
as a prohibition officer has reasonable
ground for suspecting violation OF
the prohibition act, he cannot be pun
ished for searching property other
than a dwelling without warrant.
No substantial decrease in the actiV-
tiles of prohibition officers is antici-
pated as the result of the new act and
am entirely confident that the Unit
ed States Attorneys and the Depart
ment of Justice are not going to IN
stitute proceedings against officers
except in the case of a wilful and
wanton search by an officer without
reasonable grounds for doing so.

ALL WET HOPES GONE

Washington, Nov. 23-The anti
medical beer was signed today by
President Harding.
Signature of the bill on which con-
gressional action was completed last
Friday automatically closed the gap
in the nations prohibition laws re-
vealed last March by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer in an opinion that there
was nothing in the Volstead Act to
preclude the prescription of beer as
medicine.
Prohibition advocates in Congress
soon after publication OF Mr.. Palm
ers ruling evolved the bill, which
in a somewhat changed form was
today made a law of the land. Anti
prohibitionists principally in the
Senate waged determined fight
with the result that final legislative
action was held off for several
months.
Treasury officials. because of the
pending legislation. withheld issu-
ance of regulations making prescrip-
ton of beer possible until last month.
Since the regulations were issued
about half a dozen brewers have OBJ
tanned permits to manufacture beer
for medical purposes, but owing to
the numerous changes made ncces-
sary in instructions to prohibition
directors and other officials. it is not
believed that much beer has been
prescribed as medicine.
The bill signed today in addition to
outlawing medical beer. provide that
not more than one-fourth gallon of
vinous liquor or Vinous or spirituous
liquors separately or in the aggre-
gate containing more than one-half
pint of alcohol, may be prescribed in
ten days: that prescriptions shall be
limited to 100 prescriptions for such
liquor in 30 days unless extraordin-
airy reason is presented; that impor-
tation of spirituous or vinous liquor
js prohibited until the amount on
hand shall not be sufficient to supply
the current need for beverage
uses; that private residences may not
be searched without search war
rant and that the courts of Hawaii
and the Virgin islands are given iur-
isdiction to enforce the National Pro-
hibition act.

Boston, Nov. 23-The supreme

1t held that the directors of the first
