ANT|-BEER BILL
 IS AGREED UPON
Measure Prevents Physicians From Prescribing Beer for
 Sick Patients
By Associated Press

Washington. June 1.-The volstead bill designed to prevent the use of medical beer, was agreed upon today by the House Judiciary committee, which will report 1t to the House. probably tomorrow, with a request for it's immediate passage. , Prohibition leaders declared there were votes enough tot put it through before the bureau of internal revenue could make effective proposed regula- tions by which beer could be pre- scribed for the ailing under ruling
 Although the measure as a whole would make the prohibition enforce ment act more drastic, representa- tives of the drug and flavoring extract ton requiring the medicating or de- maturing of alcohol prior to it's with drawa1 from warehouses and distil- leries for manufacturing purposes. These and other trades declared such restrictions would work hardship on legitimate industries whose pro- duets were not for drinking.
 VOlstead Introduces Redraft.
 Chairman Volstead, by direction of the committee, sintroduced late today a redraft of his bill, slightly mod fled in some particulars. The section prohibiting importation and rnanufac- ture of liquor until the stocks now held under government supervision have been materially reduced, or ex- hausted. was retained.
 Ia ,,Ia ing certain~restrictions around the use of wines in medicines. did not include the original provision which would have outlawed wine as medicine along with beer. It provides, however, for the limitation of alcohol with drawals for medicines. and gives the commissioner authority. if he finds that any preparation is being used as a beverage, to require a change of for mula so that it would be rendered actually unfit for drinking.
 Anti-Beer Section
 The section relating to doctors which was virtually rewritten, fol- lows:
 NO physician shall prescribe. nor shall any person sell or furnish on any prescription, any yinous liquor that contains more than 24 percentun of alcohol by volume, nor shall any one prescribe or sell or furnish on any prescription more than one-fourth of one gallon of vinous or any liquor that contains more than one-haf pint of alcohol for use by any persons within any period of 10 days.
 NO physician shall be furnished with more than 100 prescription blanks for use in any period of 90 days. nor shall any physician issue m ora than that number of preecriD- tions within any such period unless on application therefor he shall make 1t clearly apparent to the commission CT that for some extraordinary reason larger number Is necessary where upon the necessary additional blanks may be furnished him"
 The bill also will extend the dry law to Hawaii and the Virgin Islands, but not to the Philippines.

HARDING MOVES T0 SECURE REDUCTION
 OF FREIGHT RATES
Tells Interstate Commerce Commission Rates on Me- cessities Too High and
 Revision Needed
Rx Associated Pres.

Washington, May 1.-While railroad executives were pressing before Con- gress today their plea for relief from financial endorsements President Harding took direct action to satisfy himself that revision of freight rates, particularly on necessities, will be a part of the general railway readjust- ment.
 Walking unannounced into the of fees of the interstate commerce com mission, the President inquired of the commissioners what they were doing toward the relief of shippers who had found some of the present rates un- reasonably burdensome. He was as- sured that the whole subject was under investigation and that the commission hoped soon to effect broad revisions through the voluntary action of the roads.
 Cites Specific Example
 The hauling charges for fruit pro- ducts over western roads were made a specific example by MT. Harding in
 
 members of the commission he had re- c~ived many reports of dire distress among the western fruit growers be- cause of the existing high rates, and asked whether changes might be ex- pected soon. The commission officials replied that the fruit schedules already were receiving informal consideration.
 Although it was indicated the Ques- tion of rates prompted the Presidents call on the commission. it was assumed that during the half hours conferences there also was some mention of the roads proposal that the government discharge at once its debt to them growing out of federal control. This proposal was r,newed before the Senate interstate commerce commit tee during the day by Samuel Req. president of the Pennt ylyaI.ia lines, who argued such action would be no more than keeping the word of the government given at the tims the roads were taken over.
 Subject of Conference
 The suggestion Is known to have re- ceived careful consideration by the President and his advisers, and was the subject of conference yesterday between Mir. Harding, Chairman Cum- mins of the interstate commerce com mission and Director General Davis of of thaS railroad administration. There has been no indication. however, of a decision.
 In visiting the interstate commerce commission today. MT. Harding tech nically was dealing with part of the government entirely outside of the ex- ecrtive branch. and he assured the commissioners he had como simply in the interest of cooperation and gen. eral welfare. Since he had official right to communicate with Congress regard ing rates. he explained, he felt that he might enjoy the same privilege in re- gard to the commission set up as tho agent of Congress in the making of rates.
 Before the Senate interstate com- 1nerce committee MT. Req repeated his promise of yesterday that the gov ernment was in duty bound to return the roads to their owners in as good condition as they were taken over, and declared the President had power to carry out the roads rehabilitation pro- posal, and thus put railway finances once more on sounl foundation with out further Legislation by Congress.

IMMEDIATE PROBE OF BOMB ACCIDT,.ses.sS .S, ORDERED BY
Investigation nlmedi- ateIy Under YSs ,.lal Direc- ton of Assistant Secretary
 of War Wainwright
By Associated Press

Washington, June IA complete investigation of the circumstances surrounding the bomb explosion yes terday at Aberdeen, Md, proving grounds which resulted In the death of five persons and injury of ten others, was directed by Secretary Weeks today in an order to Inspector General Chamberlain.
 The investigation will begin i'm mediately. as will one conducted per- sonalfy by J. Mayhew Wainwright, as- sfstant secretary of war. Mir Vain wright left here late today for Aber- deen to collect evidence. Previously General Williams, chief of ordinance, had dispatched Maj. William A. Ber- den and Capt. c, H. NJ. Roberts, to the scene to make an investigation, and the commanding officer at Aberdeen nad appointed a local board for the same purpose.
 Major Borden brought the first de- tails Of the disaster to the department today In an oral report 10 General Williams. While he did not attempt officially to fix the responsibility h view of the seperate investigations ordered for that purpose, he advanced ! theory of the cause of the explosion The facts upon which he based his conclusions are regarded by ordnance eApertS GS exceptional.
 Carried Four Bombs
 ''The plano had been loaded with four bombs Major Berden said. 'That on rack No. 1, at the right hand end Of the plano had dropped from the rack once. An examination showed no apparent defect either of rack or bomb and the bomb was replaced. Then it dropped second time.
 Meanwhile the motor had been started and the airplane was being turned around. The blast from the pro peHer of the machine started the pro- peller of the bomb revolving. A cer- tain number of revolutions of the bombs propeller releases a striking rod or plunger. The propeller had ap- parently turned that point when the tall skidJTa, piece of metal attached to the tail Of the airplane--swung around and struck the propeller on the bomb, most extraordinary occurrence
 Plunger Driven In
 The blow evidently was all that was required to drive the plunger into the percussion cap attached to the fuse. The propeller had apparently turned to point where the blow would have released the plunger. The explosion followed
 Safety devices on other three bombs prevented their discharge, in the opinion of Major Berden, although they were within IS feet of the explosion.
 Major Borden said one of the men assisting in turning the plane saw the bomb when it dropped from its rack the second time. He shouted warn ing and Captain Hall, seated In the bomber's pit of the machine, looked down and into the blast as the bomb exploded. He explained that Captain Halls facial injuries were probably due to that movement.
 The war department today received complete list of the dead and injured. Nine of the injured were sent to Wal ter Reed hospital here late today for treatment. They included Captain Hall. Lieutenant Eliason and Lieuten- ant Reese.
