PASS BEER BILL
BEFORE RECESS
C0NFEREES HOPE
Senate and House Said
to Have Agreed Upon
All Contested Points.
Partial Rejection Of
Stanley Amendment
Believed Probable.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Senate and
house conferees were reported Thurs
day night to be virtually agreed on
contested points in the anti-beer bill
and hopeful of final enactment of the
measure prior to the recess set for
next week.
Agreement Secret.
While the conferees declined to indi-
cate the nature of the agreement. their
practical adjustment Of differences was
taken to mean at least partial rejec-
ton of the Stanley amendment. design
ed to protect the home against indis
criminate search for liquor. in view of
the known desire of Representative
Volstead to throw the beer bill over
board rather than accept the amend
ment as originally drawn and passed
unanimously by the senate.
That part of the Stanley proposal
relating to search of a mans dwelling
was said to have been retained. how
ever. Mr.. Volstead's chief objection
to it as whole was based on the
ground that to require warrant to
search an automobile or other proper
ty would make rigid enforcement of ma
tional prohibition ineffective.
An Even Split.
AS explained by one of the cOnferees,
the proposed compromise is on the
basis of about an even split on the
Stanley amendment, part of which will
be retained and the other part rejected.
Mr.. Volstead however. has held firm
to his determination not to accept the
provision requiring warrants to search
automobiles, for example, contending
that they are the heart of the boot
Logging traffic"
In standing out for elimination of
this feature of the amendment, house
prohibition leaders admitted the posi-
bility of decided senate opposition but
despite that, they are said to be un-
willing to take it as a whole.

President Suggests Plan

Dockets Of Nation.

ney General Daugherty as part of &
plan for reorganization of the coun.

gested condition of federal court docii-
cts all over the country.
Annual Conference.
Provision would also be made under
the plan for an annual conference OF
the nine senior circuit judges with the
chief justice of the United States and
the attorney general to consider ways
and means of expediting federal busi-
ness and increasing the efficiency OF
the courts.
The new judges, it was explained
would not be assigned to any particular
circuit, but would be auxiliary for serv-
ice wherever court business piled up
Investigation of the alarming sit
uation" in the federal courts, Mr.
Daugherty said, revealed that on June
80, 1921, there were 141,W cases
pending, as compared with lis, ,744
cases at the end of the previous fiscal
year, while in some districts there had
been an increase Of 500 per cent in

while this condition is largely Gre

hibition," be said, and although the
number Of liquor cases will doubtless
decrease as the states pass enforce
ment laws and as public opinion
changes in the districts where enforce
ment is now difficult, nevertheless
such decrease will not occur in the
near future, and even then the increase
in civil business due to growth in pop
the ending of the war period
and the continued development of the
country will. in our judgment, prevent
any appreciable relief to the federal
courts.
''The present congested condition Of
the dockets is intolerable and results
in the loss of evidence, the abandon
ment Of cases, the denial and frequent
defeat of justice, and lowers the high
standards of the federal courts 1t is
my opinion that this legislation is prac-
teal, economical and most necessary"

Importance. were accepted Friday BY

ed by occasional clashes between the
majority and minority and a renewal of
the personal controversy between

including elimination of the provisionf
tor per cent tax on the manufac-
turers Of proprietary medicine to the
powder and paste and mouth washes.
and reduction in the tax Oh cereal
beverages from 6 to 4 cents gallon.
are expected to be proposed Saturday
by the ways and means committee be-
fore the measure is passed late in the
day.
Republicans and Democrats of the
house were united in approving an
amendment striking out the section of
the bill imposing an annual license tax
of $40 on vendors of soft drinks. On
a few other changes there were shar:'
divisions. but many of the minor ones
merely changing language or punctu-
ations. were put through without a
single member on either side voting on
the yea" and may" calls. All of the
committee changes proposed were
adopted.
Gift Clause Fixed.
Under one amendment approved over
Democratic opposition corporations
making gifts for charitable purposes
would be relieved from tax on such
sums unless they exceeded per cent
of the net income of the donating com
pany. The big fight of the day was
over the amendment defining as for
eign trade corporations such domestic
corporations as derive 80 per cent or
more of their gross income from the
active conduct of business outside of
the United States. and, similarly as
foreign traders those American citizens
who derive so per cent or more of their
gross income from sources outside of
this country.
The Democrats claimed this proposal
was a discrimination against purely
domestic corporations in the matter
of taxes The Republicans defended
it on the grounds that it was necessary
to relieve foreign trade corporations
and foreign traders from taxation on
income received from sources outside
this country in order that they might
compete with foreign concerns.
The amendment was adopted 1a3 to
S5. eleven Republicans joining in the
negative vote.
