AMOUNT OF WINE FOR
THE SICK is ENTIRELY
In HANDS OF DOCTOR

Washington, Feb. 5.-The amount
of hard liquor sick man may ac-
quire legally is definitely fixed by
statute but the only limit to the a.
mount of wine he may obtain is the
"sound and honest" Judgment Of his
physician and perhaps the depth of
his purse.
Prohibition Commissioner Kram-
er, in a formal announcement today
says there seemed to be some con-
fusion as to the quantity of wine
that a physician may prescribe. To
clear up all doubts he lays down
this rule: ,..
>"Until further orders physicians
may prescribe in their practice such
quantities of wine as they in the
exercise of their sound and honest
judgment deem necessary in the
particular case if they in good faith
believe that in the use, of wine as a
medicine by the person for whom it
is prescribed is necessary and will
afford relief to him for some known
ailrnent."" n
4 Mr.. Kremer warned that physi-
clans should "use extraordinary
care" not to abuse 'fthe right given
them," and state directors were told
ITO guard this matter most care
fully to the effect that the said pri-
vilege be not abused by any physi-
Clans" .,,

ARGENTINA WHEAT
FUTURES DROP 80
CENTS A BUSHEL
Tremendous Speculative Turnover
Equal To 1000, 900 Bushels A
Day-Feeling Against Chi.
cago Board il Shown

Buenos Aires, Feb. 5.-Wheat fu-
lures have broken severely in the
Bolsa de Commerce. here during the
past week, prices falling the equiva-
lent of 80 cents per bushel on a tre-
mendous speculative turnover equal
Ito 2,0OO,O0o bushels per day. It is
asserted that Argentina is begin
ming its great annual crop move
nent with a surplus for expectation
estimated at 100000 tons Of
wheat and that this country is a
dominating factor in the worlds
grain market.
The decision Of the Chicago
Board of Trade on Wednesday to
discontinue the posting of Argen-
tine grain quotations is character
lied by members of the. Bolsa as
equivalent to an "ostrich hiding his
head in the sand" Many prominent
members agreed today it was impos-
sible for the Chicago board to ignor
more Argentine quotations and If it
refused to post hem officially grain
firms nj the United States would be
compelled to obtain the figures on
their own initiative. "
Reference made on Wednesday by
J. P. Griffin, president of the Chica-
60 board to the alleged fact that
Argentina quotations did not intel
ligently reflect the supply and de-
mand situation" resulted today in
local speculators bringing forward
North American statistics showing
the worlds wheat production ex-
ceeds consumption requirements by
170,Ooo,0OO bushels. These figures
were cited to prove the recent fall
Of prices both here and in Chicago,
was in obedience to economic laws.
Depend On Exports
It was pointed out that domes-
tic consumption in Argentine prices
must be governed to gerat extent
by exoprt demand. European buy
ers at present refuse to enter the
market here, chiefly It is said be-
cause of the uncertainty as to
whether the Argentine govern
ment will reimpose the export sur
tax on wheat which expired on De-
cember 81. Such action was intimat-
ed recently in government sources,
and this, with the lateness Of the
crop and the heavy yield, is said to
have caused the break. in futures.
Assertion is made in authoritative
quarters that in such big market
and with such large crop being
moved it is impossible for any group
of firms to dominate quotations, as
was charged in the statement issued
in Chicago on Wednesday. 1t is add
ed that prices of wheat here repre-
sent the true situation. Brokers on
the 'Bolsa today greeted with ironic
cheers and jeers the arrival Of Chi
cago quotations showing big de-
clines.
A grain trade committee today
called on President Irigoyen, asking
him for a definite declaration. re-
garding the export surtax. The
President replied that if the trade
could agree on a minimum price
which would safeguard the interests
of farmers, "the government would
study a solution tending to satisfy
all interests"

BIG TOURIST HOTEL
is BURNED IN AUGUSTA

Augusta, Ca, Feb. 4.-The Bon.
Air hotel, one of the largest tourist
hostelries in the South, was totally
destroyed early this morning by fire
of undetermined origin which was
discovered at 2:3O o'clock. Loss, in
cluding personal belongings of
guests, is unofficially placed at ST.
600, 900. None of the 260 guests
were injured, being awakened by a
nightclerk shortly after the fire was
discovered. Many were carried to
safety by the firemen.
In recent years the hotel had been
the winter home Of ex-President
William H. Taft. John D. Rookie
feller, Nathan Strauss and many
other notables. The structure was
erected in 1889, and was, owned by
local stockholders. The building was
valued at about $sOe,O0O and is un-
derstood to have been fully covered
by insurance.
The guests, with such personal
property as they were able to save,
spent the rest of the night at other
hotels or at homes in the winter
colony. Several guests who were i'll
were carried to hospitals.
Plans for rebuilding are already
under way.
Loss To Guests -,
A few of the guests took time to
gather up their clothing and other
possessions, but a large number
made their exit without saving
thing. Some were scantily clad.
Homes in the winter colony includ-
ing that of Nathan Strauss, were
thrown open to them.
Mr.. Strauss stated today that ne
stood ready to aid financially in the
immediate rebuilding Of the Bon Air
upon a scale that would make it the
finest tourist resort in the South:
The firemen were handicapped by
ineffective pressure, due to the altl-
tude of the hotel which was nearly
on a level with that of the reservoir.
J. C. White, formerly lord mayor
of Belfast Ireland and Mrs. White,
were among the guests.
Other Buildings Endangered
When the fire broke out there was
little win6 and the flames leaped
high into the air, Illuminating
streets for blocks around. At the
height of the fire light shower be-
gan falling and lasted for several
minutes, followed by a brisk breeze
which endangered nearby hotel
and other residences. ="
A few of the guests saved their |
trunks, others brought out suit
cases while many of them threw
their valuable out of the windows
where they were lost in the debris.
The guests, generally were reluc-
tant to discuss the fire or their loss
es but the loss of some were evident
because Of their scant attire.
d, One woman whose name could not
be learned, stood on the lawn hair
dishevelled and weeping when ask
ed regarding her loss exclaimed:
"I've lost everything-everything.
God only knows how I came out
with my life"
Judge and Mrs. Robert S. Lovett,
of New York, were among the
guests.
F. C. Kinkead, purchasing agent
of the R. G. Dunn and Company an
other guest succeeded in saving only
a pair of trousers and an overcoat,
which he wore over his night
clothes.
