After the work was completed, the amount due him as a balance was the amount stated above, which the present city council, who came into office after the work was started, refused to pay s. A.

WEIGH BOASTS THE SURGEON GENERAL
Says He Is Unworthy of One Who Occupies a Federal
 Position of Trust

Montgomery, August Especially Declaring that the act of Dr. H. $. Cumming, surgeon general of the United States public health service, in reopenlng the controversy about pellagra in the south. is unworthy of one who occupies federal posi- tion of trust,' pr. s. W. Welch, state health officer, issued statement late Tuesday in reply to the statement carried in southern newspapers in Press dispatches Tuesday
 Dr. Welch said he was surprised that pr. Cumming should issue the statement since the conference of southern health officers in Washing ton. IT.,
 Dr. welch said there is no epi- demic of pella gra in the south. even if the figures made public by Dr. Cumming are true. fact which he would not admit. He also declared pr. Cumming should not have start ed the sensational reports of famine and plague in the public press" but instead should have called the health officers of the south into conference for a discussion of the problem.

ANY HOUSEHOLDER COULD HAVE BREW UNDER AMENDMENT
Would Bar Search of Home Unless Reason to Believe Booze Is Manufac-
 tured for Sale
By Associated Press

Washington, August>~1S. Any householder could~have home brew under Interpretations placed upon an amendment placed on the Willis Campbell beer bill.
 The amendment, adopted as sub. would require federal agents to have warrants before entering homes in search of liquor. It provides, how ever, that no warrant shall be issued for search of home unless there is reason to believe such dwelling is used as a place in which liquor is manufactured for sale or sold.
 Representative Fields, democrat, Kentucky, declaring the House amendment would virtually sanction nome brew" provided it was not m ade..stos be sold, attempted to have the words for sale" stricken out, but his motion was rejected, 96 to 54.
 Representative ,Volstead, republi- can, Minnesota, author of the origi- nal prohibition act, favored the House substitute as adopted. He declared later 1t would not change the. policy of the prohibition enforcement bu- reau in reference to home brewing. No attempt of late has been made on orders from Washington, he said. to prohibit. the home manufacture of potent beverages for personal use.
 The section we put in the bill pro vides that the law is to be enforced as we intended when we passed the prohibition act said Mir. Nolstead. While it expressly stipulates that no homes are to be searched without warrants and then only if~the liquor made is being sold, federal officers can get evidence in other ways as to whether the law is being violated. The section Of the original act pro- hibiting the mahufacture of liquor with alcoholic content of more than half of one per cent is still in force. "
 Search of homes without warrants, Mir. volstead said, usually has been conducted under the revenue act which authorized such action under some circumstances.
 Pleading for tight ban on home brew, MT. Fields declared that If you say man can rig up distillery in his home, yon kill the Volstead act.'
