PROPOSED LAW is
EXPLAINED BY vOLSTEAD
Chairman of Judiciary Committee
Says His Bill Seeks Only Honest
Enforcement of Prohibition.

Washington, June Chairman
Volstead, of the house judiciary com.
mittee, in report today dealing with
| his bill to supplement the Volstead act
declared it presented only such es-
sential Legislation as was deemed nee
\ essary to fair and honest enforcement
of national prohibition.
! The report set forth that the chief
purpose of the bill was to prevent the
use of beer and wine as medicine,
which would be permitted under an
opinion by former Attorney General
Palmer.
/ Declaring that evidence presented
| to the committee showed, overwhelm-
ingly that beer never had been recog-
nized as a medicine, the report quoted
the attorney for the Andeuser- Busch
company, Inc, to the effect that if
beer were permitted as medicine at
would be impossible to enforce the
prohibition law"
Discussing the provision which would
prohibit importation and manufacture
of liquor while the present stock holds
out, Chairman 'Volstead said that on
January 1, last, the stock on hand was
40,216,079 gallons, while at the end Of
March it had been increased by 109,-
900 gallons, most of it being turned
out by three distilleries.
The report explained that the bill
was designed to prevent the manufac-
ture of medicine and kindred prepara-
tions which could be used for bever-
age purposes. I
The bill, the report showed, would
give the attorney general concurrent
power with the commissioners to re-
yoke, "in the interest of law enforce.
ment."
The bill was formally reported to
he house today by the judiciary COM
mittee.

CORN CROP REPORTED l
 GOOD TO EXCELLENT

The country's corn crop is in good to excellent condition, according to the American Steel and Wire company. Showers have improved the forage crops.
 Some of the grains have produced small berries on account of the dry spell. The company's report for this week says:
 in the field indicate that there has been considerable improvement as regards moisture conditions in the eastern states. Forage crops have particularly been improved by good showers. Most of the small grains have been harvested. Their yields, however, will not come up to early expectations as rapid ripening pre- vented the grains from plumping as well as they should.
 ''Threshing has not progressed far enough to give a good idea as to actual yields. More northwesterly grain growing states report small grains very spotted, some fields very good, others very poor. Spring wheat varies greatly in quality.
 "Potatoes all over the country have suffered somewhat from severe weather conditions. The most impor- tant crop at the present time is the corn crop. This taken as whole is in good to excellent condition, but much of the corn belt is in need of good general rains"

 ALLEGED ILL USAGE
 OF COUNTY CONNECTS

Immediate investigation into the conditions at the county convict camps will be made by the county board of revenue, following the re- ceipt of letter from Dr. W. A.. Burns. county physician, in which ne charges that prisoners are escaping in large numbers from the camps.
 Dr. Burns says little effort is made to capture the escaped con victs, and consequently the morale of the camps is lowered.
 w. J. Wheeler, county road su- perintendent. who was ordered at the last meeting of the board to make investiga ations of the alleged mis- treatment of convicts at Camp No 5, requested the board at the meeting yesterday to allow him until the meeting of the board next Tuesday to make his report
 The prisoners of Camp No, 5 com plained that they were being ili- treated by the guards at the camp in a letter read at the meeting of the board Tuesday.
