STATE AID ON
 TEACHERS PAY

State aid to municipalities for teachers salaries was favorably re- ported by the legislative committee on education in Hartford yesterday. Towns and cities with grand lists be- tween s2,500,00O and s3.50O,000 will be eligible for the state aid under the bill, which replaces the state board bill The new measure will en- tail an expenditure of but $450,000, while the board bill called for an ap- propriation of S1,239,904.
 The state board of education made a ruling yesterday that, in the future, no town applying for special aid un- der the existing law on the ground that it spends more than the pro- ceeds of mills of it's grand list for lowed additional support in excess of an amount which would make it's percentage of state aid such as to put it more than one class away from its grand list total and in any event, not more than 80 per cent. of the amount it pays for teachers salaries. The state board; in determining the additional support to be granted to any such town, will take into consid- eration the total of state aid it re- ceives from the enumeration, average attendance and support of schools grant, and will insist that the mills stated be spent for teachers salaries only.
 This ruling of the state board of education will be effective only for the present school year.
 $3 AttendaSMe Grant.
 The committee on education also voted to report a bf1l making perma- nent the S3 average attendance grant adopted two years ago for the period ending with the present school year. This bill will carry an appropriation of about $1,150,000.

Anti-Beer Bill Adopted

Washington.-The Willis-C Campbell
anti-beer bill was passed by the senate
late Monday 80 to 20. and sent to con-
ference with the house with the pros
pect of its final enactment before the
week ends.
Upon being informed of the action
treasury officials said that the beer
regulations which have been drafted
and are ready for Secretary MELONS
signature would not be issued pend
ing action by the senate and house
conferees. The regulations would pro-
vide for use of medical beer under the
ruling of former Attorney General
Palmer, ruling which the bill is de-
signed to overcome.
The ban against the prescribing of
beer by physicians and limitations of
prescriptions Of wine and whisky con-
tanned in the bill as passed by the
house were virtually unchanged by
the senate, but few important amend
ments were added These included a
provision to restrict operations Of pro-
hibition enforcement officers by pro-
hibiting searches or any attempts at
searching Of private property or prem
ises without search warrants. A vio-
latiOn Of this clause would be misde-
meanor subject to fine of $1,000 and
one years Imprisonment Penalties of
five years Imprisonment and $1,000
fines were provided for persons at
tempting searches while posing as pro-
hibition agents
The search and seizure amendment
was offered by Senator Stanley, demo
crat, Kentucky, as a substitute for an
amendment by Senator Reed, demo
crat. of Missouri, proposing more dras-
tic penalties. 1t was adopted without
a roll call
The bill limits were prescriptions to
one-fourth of gallon and that OF
spirituous beverages to one-half pint
by alcoholic content TO an individual
In 10 days. One change was made in
the house clause fixing 100 prescrip-
tions as the maximum for a physician
in 80 days except by special order Of
the prohibition commissioner
The drive of the opposition forces
against the bill resulted in the adop-
ton of several minor amendments
modifying the house bill
