BOOZE MILLS
RUN AGAIN
Opinion of Palmer Per-
NIT Unlimited Manu-
facture of Liquor
and Beer for Med
ical Purposes

Washington, March t2.--Jhe recent
ruling Of former Attorney General
Palmer permitting the practically un-
limited manufacture Of beer, wines
and whskeY for medicinal purposes
will stand. Solicitor General t'ricrson
said today, despite u number of pro-
tests, unless the treasury department
should ask for it's reconsideration.
Such a request is not under contem-
plation it was said later at the
treasury.
Opinions are issued by the de-
partment OF justice OD'v to the presi-
dent ana members Of the cabinet. Mr..
Frierson exclaimed and not matters
IN which private individuals may
participate. a review would only be
made, he added, on motion of the de-
partment originally making the re-
quest and Il change made where an
error of law was found.
Regulations to provide for the use
OF beer medically will be issued
as soon as they can be prepared.
prohibition officials declared al
though they had been DELAYED i'm
earlier preparation on the possibility
OF the opinion being reconsidered
Under the most recent interprcta-
ton of the prohibition law. officials
declared it would appear that patients
Tor wnom beer was prescribed would
be able to obtain it by the case as il
would probably be ordered as n
tonic and it would appear unreason-
able to require a person to procure
only one or two bottles ut n time.
Study OF the new ruling. officials
said has disclosed that the whole
theory Of prohibition enforcement Oh
which the internal revenue burcal,
has been proceeding has been over
thrown. The prohibition unit officials
explained. has worked on the theory
that it possessed the use and distrbu-
ton Of intoxicants excepted by. con-
Srcss from the general ban.
BY tho most recent view Of the law,
however, officials maintained il
would seem that this theory is now
denied.
Existing regulations will have to
be considerably amended, officials
said as various rules heretofore pro-
mulSated by the bureau arc affected
more or less directly py the opinion.

RACE CLASH

Trouble Breaks in
Springfield Once More
Troops on Guard

Springfield, Ohio, March IA
Springfield is quiet today following n
night of disorder i'm which Patrolnan
Joseph Ryan was shot and a negro
wounded i'm an exchange of shots be-
tween negroes and policemen. Three
companies of National Guards are on
duty. and the Fourth Ohio infantry
have been mOonized in anticipation
OF further rioting. Machine guns
have been mounted at the Jail. The
trouble started with the shooting of
Ryan. who ordered "a crowd of ne
grocs to disperse, but racial feeling
has been strong since an eleven-year
old girl was attacked Monday by an
unidentified negro who escaped At
ter Ryan was shot the sheriff had Il
brush with the negroes and later the
police engaged in pitched battle
with twenty negroes, without casual
ties.
Sheriff was placed i'm full charge
and public meetings have been pro-
hibitcd. Traffic was ordered stopped

AMERICAN CONSUL:
is TURNED DOWN
Fiume Government Refuses to
Recognize Official

Brcst March 13.-Wilbur Kebling-
er. the American consul to Fiume left
that city today for Tricst to await
instructions from the state depart
ment at Washington after having been
refused recognition by the Fiume
government.
Df. Antonio Grossich, provisional
head of Fiumc, said TO Mr.. Kebling-
pr:
We were surprised at this action
on the part of your government in
asking us to recognize you and pro-
tect YOU when the United States has
not recognized us
II is learned from the Fiume au-
thorities that Consul keblinger's in
structions from the state department
were that he was to make plain to the
provisional government that his es-
tablishment of a consulate at Fiume
was not to he construed as recogni-
tion or the present government. but
that the American consulate was
there ready to carry on consular bus
mess and that. as il sought the per-
mission, recognition and protection
of the present authorities il was the
same arrangement as prevailed under
the old intcr-allied occupation before
the D'Annunzio expedition.
Mr.. KcblinGer occupied the post
whom D'Annunzio entered. He was
forced 20 leave on the flagship Pitts
burg, with Admiral Andrews and tho
vice consul. The refusal of tho
Fiume authorities to recognize the
consul ties UP the port so far as
American shipments arc concerned.
No ship can leave Fiume for Ameri-
can ports without bill OF health
from the American consul.

LOOKING AT
OTHER SIDE
DIR. Simons Appears to Question
Whether Allied Demands Have
Been Rightly Estimated in
Berlin

Berlin, March 13.-By the Asso-
ciated Prcss.-Dr. Walter Simons. the
foreign minister held a ninety-minute
peech in the Reichstag Saturday,
during which he gave an elaborate
exposition Of the proceedings at the
recent reparatiOns conference in Lon
don. The tone of the speech was no.
ticeable for it's extreme moderation
The speaker appeared to question
whether the allied demands had been
rightly estimated i'm Germany.
Il must say" Dr. Simons declared,
that when one comes from France
with our opponents in London: when
one hears what the situation is in
their countries and under what dis
trcss and cares they emphasize they
are laborinS. becomes clear that their
demands are not inspired only by VIC
tor and lust for power"
While stoutly maintaining the at
legged illcGality OF the penalties, he
declared he was strongly opposed to
rupturing returns with the allies be
cause our position in the world IL
not such that it could be improved by
n breach"
III we now reSorteu to severe meas
urcs,' said DR.. Simons, this would
only be regarded as confirmation OF
that opinion and we should lose all
that good will we so sorely need to
eNtricato us from our great difficult
ties"
pr. Simons described the proposed
levy on German goods as "a gross
blundcr for the allies themselves" he
rause. ne declared, il would drive
trade with Germany into the hands Of
spectators and hopelessly impede the
formidable task Of restoring fnterna-
tional exchange. which it would be
