NO MEDICINAL BEER;
MELLON so DECIDES
Secretary Suddenly Reverses
His Attitude Following
Failure to Pass Bill.
Special Despatch to The rEw YORK fIErALp'
New York Uersid Bureau.
WashinQfon. ID. c., Aug. 26.


New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Aug. 20.
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon sud
denly reversed his attitude with regard
TO medicinal beer regulations to-day. fol-
lowing the failure of the anti-beer bill
to pass Congress. The regulation which
would permit manufacture and sale Of
real beer on. physicians prescriptions
win be held up indefinitely.
Reaching his office this morning, ne
hurriedly called Prohibition Commits
sioner Blair. They discussed tho ad-
Visibility of putting the beer regulations
into operation. as Secretary Mellon had
many times stated was his purpose. He
had reaffirmed that determination sev-
eral times lately, and It was generally
accepted an fact that the regulations
for real beer would go out in the event
OF failure OF Congress TO pass the anti
beer BILL
What forced Mr.. Mellon to change his
mind and to direct Commissioner Blair
10 nOlu up the regulations lnuellHileiy
was not officially made known. The
regulations had been signed by Mr.. Blair
and approved by Mr.. Mellon in final
form. Many brewers anticipating them
were making ready to manufacture and
sell medicinal beer to meet an eager de-
mand from the trade.
At the Treasury IL was said OFFICIALLY
that Secretary MELONS chief reason for
pigeonhoiing the regulations was his fear
that they would be nullified by action
Of Congress when 1t reconvenes.
The failure TO pass the anti-beer bill
was not the result Of fight on the
main purpose OF the bill. which both
House and Senate had approved, but OF
the squabhle over the Stanley search and
seizure amendment.
IT was also suggested that the brewers
might suffer losses. IL after they had put
thei rplant adjustments in shape to
make real beer and took other steps to
comply with the rules governing medic
inal beer distribution the rules should
be later outlawed by Congress. Secre-
tary Mellon did not want to encourage
the mourning of such losses.
Legal advisers of the Treasury still
maintain that 1t would be legal to issue
the regulations. They have so advised
Secretary Mellon. In fact they have in
formed him that Withholding them is
illegal.
