HOME BREWS FEEL
SURE OF VICTORY

Washington, Aug. lS.-Home brew

be virtually legalized. government
legal advisors said today. discussing
the action OF the House last night in
restricting the operations of dry law
agents.
The House adopted a provision in
the anti-beer bill prohibiting enforce
ment agents from entering private
homes TO search for liquor without
warrants.
1t is specified that even then war
rants shall not be issued unless 1t is
shown that the place to be searched is
being used to manufacture liquors for
sale
The Senate. having adopted the
Stanley amendment, which prohibited
search and seizure without warrants.
is not expected to oppose the House
home brew amendment.
The action OF the House came as
surprise to prohibition officials.
The measure will radically curtail
part OF the enforcement program and
a revision of the rules governing en-
forcement officers will be necessary.
Legal authorities interpreted the ac-
ton of the House to mean that home
brewers. making beer for their own
personal needs, or to serve to guests
in their homes. need have no fear of
interference by any government Off
GERS.
AS the provision adopted by the
House was weighed by legal sharps. 1t

LODGE ASSERTS HE
WILL INSIST Upon A
GENERAL REDUCTION
IN SENATE DEBATE REPRESENT
ALIVE AT THE DISARMAMENT
CONFERENCE ASSERTS HE WILL
WORK FOR CUT ALL ALONG THE
LINE.

Washington, Aug lS,-The cues
ton of open or secret session OF the
disarmament conference started !
senate debate yesterday ia Whtes
democrats criticized some of the
steps taken by the administration
| and Chairman Lodge 9f the foreign
| relations committee, who has been
selected as one OF the American dele
gates, gave his colleagues sonlt
| glimpses of the attitude lie intends Il
adopt in the conference.
The outburst was short-liyed and
failed to develop any general express
sion of senate opinion on the SUD
| ject of public or closed sessions,
Further debate on the question was
assured. however, by presentation for
| future consideration OF a measure
| which would instruct the American
delegates to insist that the confer
ence sit with open doors.
| Senator Lodge did not express his
views in regard to publicity, but he
did assert that in the negotiations
over disarmament itself he would
hold to the principle that the only So
luton was general disarmament.
He said no one would work more car
nestly than he for disarmament. but
that he would hold to an mistaken
conviction that to insure success
there must be general reductions all
along the line.
Later in the day the foreign rela-
tions chairman. speaking on good
roads bill asserted IL was false econ.
omy to save money for roads by TAX
ing it away from the army and navy,
whose reduction had been carried too
far already under existing conditions.
Without specific mention of the dis
armament proposition he affirmed his
belief tiat this country could not
now make further curtailment in its
military and naval establishments
without menacing national security
Harding Hears Women.
While the senate debate was in
progress the president listened to the
plea of a group of women political
leaders that he appoint a woman on
the American delegation TO the con-
terence, and told them that he was
confident a way would be found to
utilize womans influence and intui-
tions to aid in the success OF the ne
gotiations. The presidents words
were variously interpreted by mem.
bers Of the group.
Those who took the petition to the
White House were acting for the Ma
tional League Of Woman Voters, and
its president headed the group and
presented the resolution on the sub
ject adopted at a recent convention
of the league. Before their interview
with Harding the women distributed
a series of statements assailing Rep
resentative Alice Robertson OF Okla
homa for her declaration that i'll
would be difficult to- find a woman
qualified to act as a delegate. In all
of the statements ii was asserted
that Miss Robertson could in no sense
be regarded as competent to speak
for American womanhood
No names were suggested to the
president by his callers, and when
they were asked afterward what
woman they considered qualified they
replied by insisting there were 50
many they preferred to mention no
one.
