special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.

Washington, ID. c.. Sept. 10.
John B2rleycorn will be resurrected
ana made the subject Of hard fight
when Congress reconvenes Wednes-
day. Prohibition leaders in the Sem
ate announced to-day they would re-
new Immediately the battle in behalf
OF the Campbell Willis anti-beer bill
a motion to resume consideration OF
tho bill will be made as soon as the
Senate comes to order, according to
Senator Sterling Is. ID, leader of the
radical drys.
The object Of the drys is to get ac-
ton on the anti-beer bill before the
tax bill takes the right of way. The
tax biz Is to be reported to the Senate
Wednesday, but it will not be ready
for debate probably for several days.
The drys are planning to make a
determined drive to force final action
on the and-beer bill before the Senate
IL required to give It's whole attention
to the tax measure. They realize that
once the tax bill is made the un-
finished business the anti-beer bin
will have long wait on the legisla-
tive side track before it can be taken
UP again.
The vets are equally determined to
ure. They succeeded in blocking 1t by
fll'buster before Congress adjourned Au-
gust "A. They are confident they can
easily continue the filibuster until the
anti-beer bill is displaced by the tax
measure.
After the tax bill is disposed Of the
Panama Canal tolls question. the rail-
road funding bill and the. foreign loan
refunding bill are counted on to keep
the Senate occupied to the further ex-
clUsion Of the anti-beer BILL
Approved by House Drys.
The anti-beer bill will come before
the Senate In the form Of committee
report which already bears the House
stamp OF approval. Only a vote Of the
Senate stands in the way of sending tho
OF contention In the bill is tho section
deeigned to lay restraining hand upon
tho search and seizure methods or pro-
hihtion enforcement officers.
The vets contend the conference re-
port so weakens this section as to rem
der 1t practically valueless.
Some of the more conservative prohib-
iticnists are trying to call off the rad
ical dry leaders In their fight for the
anti-beer bill. They frankly admit signs
of reaction against prohibition in many
parts Of the country. and they are fear
fu. that the rigid enforcement of the
Eiehteenth Amendment will give the
dry cause a serious setback. Senator
Sterling, who has charge of the anti
beer bill, sees no such signs, however.
He declared to-day he was convinced
by the a 'Tespondence he recivd during
the Cong ass.onal recess that the vast
maiorityt.f 4 the people want the bill en-
acted int law.
Instead of relaxing their efforts the
radical drys may turn their attention
ne.;. to the rapid growth of the home
brewing industry. Up to this time II
has been the policy of the drys not to
int rfere with home brewing. Reports
are being received, however. that estab-
lisnments selling "the makings" for
home brew, from hops to caps, are
spi inging up In alarming numbers In
every city in the country.
See Peril I'm Home Brew.
Some drys are fearfud that unless
prompt measures are taken to combat
this growth the whole nation will have
learned the art of making its own brew
and much OF the fruits of the prohibi-
lion fight will have been lost. Senator
Sterling Is inclined however, to view
home brewing largely as fad.
Commissioner Haynes to-day issued
the following regarding the status of
home brew:
Misunderstanding fruit juice can be
made In the home. Intoxicating wine.
home brew and distilled spirits may not
be made. Two hundred gallons OF non-
Intoxicating fruit Juice may be manu-
fectured tax free by the head OF fam
lily registering with a collector of IN
terral revenue.
"This tax exemption provision has
been the source II confusion. The ef-
feet of this Is dot TO allow the manu-
facture OF 200 gallons 'of Intoxicating
wine free from restrictions OF tho ma
tforal prohibition oct. but merely to al
low the manufacture OF 200 gallons of
Notwithstanding fruit Juice free OF tax"
