COLLINS WOMEN JURY BILL MEETS
 DEATH IN HOUSE
After Extended Debate, House Indefinitely Post
 pones Consideration.

At the close of it's second reading this afternoon the Collins women 'ury bill, Senate Bill No. %, was killed when the House by a big vote adopted motion to indefin- itely postpone further consideration of the measure The defeat of the bill was forecasted yesterday when the House Judiciary Committee brought in report recommending that ''it do not pass"
 In a final effort to at least save the measure temporarily, Speaker Nerland took the floor and appealed io the members to defeat the mo tion for pOstponement indefinitely which he characterized as "a strang ling sort of method" of dispOsing of the bill without allowing it to go on it's final passage for record Mr Cochran, in answer. declared that the minds of the members were made up and it was useless for the ther consideration. The motion to postpone indefinitely carried 13 ives to three noes, those voting in the negative being Speaker NerlaEd. MT Ross and Mir. Elsner.
 The bill was considered in the House Committee of the Whole for more than an hour this morning in debate in which the majority of the members took active part. The opposition to the measure was led by Representatives Murray and Coch- ran, both of whom declared it their conviction that jury service is a burden which should not be imposed upon the women of any state and they would have no part in such i'm position upon the women of Alaska
 Collins on Floor
 Senator Collins. who was in the gallery listening to the debate, was given the privileges of the floor and without going into detailed de fense of the bill as author of it. advocated it as a progressive meas ure which would tend to elevate jury duty and clean mp certain cases.
 eff this bill is enacted into law he asserted. "it means the death of the bootlegger"
 He said that since 1913 he had been requested by women to intro. duce such legislation
 Mir Murray opened the fight on the bill with the House in the Com mittee of the Whole by tatng that he was absolutely opposed to it on the ground that for many reasons women were temperamentally no qualified for jury service.

Not Far Reaching.

As a matter of fact, the treasury regu-
lations will not be far reaching. They do
not in any way affect the many dry states
which passed laws prohibiting the bring
ing into their jurisdiction of any intoxi-
eating liquors. The state laws are by no
means uniform. but no federal law can
of course. grant right on the subject of
liquor enforcement which is taken away
by state law.
In such states as New York. Pennsyl-
vania. Massachusetts, Illinois and Cali
fornia. which never went dry before the
18th amendment was adopted. the new
treasury regulations will permit brew
cries to resume at once the manufacture
and bOttling of liquors for medicinal pur-
poses. The regulations are so drawn that
a concern which manufactures near beer
will have to build a separate plant for
real beer and wines SO as to avoid any
possibility of confusing the products of
each plant. Supervision by government
agents at periodic intervals is provided
for and record will be kept of all tran
SactlOns so the government can easily de-
termine whether the privilege of making
beers and wines for medicinal purposes
Is abused. One of the penalties will be
revocation of the permit to make any
intoxicating liquors.
Just as soon as congress passes the
anti-beer bill the new regulations will be
officially nullified. Many breweries are
not likely to invest money i'm preparing
for medicinal beer and wine business
with the prospect of seeing the permits
sion taken away at any moment within
the next go days. The period of Waiting
will be continued until the supreme court
has said the final word

tablishing the facts about it and setting
it on the basis of justice. 1t would
keep all this detail off the books.
The bookkeeping of railroads is COM
plicated far beyond all necessity. We
have simplifed this department, reduced
its costs and have transformed it into
an actual help to the railroad instead
of a vexatien and burden. How did
we do ii? BY viewing the whole propo-
sition as a service to the users of rail-
roads and making everything fit into
that, instead of having the fear OF
stockholders and dividends before our
eyes. Our faith is that service will DAY.
Finance does not come first. Work
comes first.
Cut on Absurdities
we don t claim to have done any
thing new i'm railroading-ye We
have only taken the old system of opera
ton and cut off it's obvious absurdities.
Even the old system of railToading
brought up to efficiency, would be an
immense change for this country. We
have simply cut out the loafing of men
the loahng of engines and the loafing
of cars. The result seems to have sur
mystery or magic about it. Anyone
can do it. If the introduction of plain
everyday good management Will create
such a change, what may we expect from
really new ideasE

YOU can't do that by giving then

Mann RreWeries ReadY.

Indeed. many breweries. especially in
the old wet states have been kept IN com
mission for more than year because Of
an expectation that these regulations
would be issued any day. Attorney Cen
eral Palmer was the first to render the
opinion that the Yolstead act could not
prevent the making of beer and light
wines for physicians prescriptions. At
torney General Daugherty c6ncurred in
that view but the treasury department
has been heSitant to do anything that
might involve it in the controversy going
on in congress.
| 1t has begun to look lately. however.
as if the anti-beer amendment to the
! Nolstead act might be indefinitely held
Iup There's the trouble in permitting
! prohibition agents to search private
homes and private property without a
warrant. and this is declared by sena-
tors. some of whom are wet" and some
of whom have voted dry to be VIC
lation of article five of the federal consti-
tuition guaranteeing citizens against un-
lawful search of their dwellings. 1t
would not be surprising if the prohibition
forces had to yield their point about
search and seizure in order to get the anti
beer bill through. Even the contest will
be carried to the courts on other grounds
of unconstitutionaiity.

WASHINGTON. Oct 26.-Today
marks the beginning of another great
battle between "drys" and liberals
over the use of beer and light wines for
medicinal purposes The treasury de
partment has issued certain regulations
permitting physicians to prescribe beer
or wine for the sick Congress has under
consideration a bill which would wipe
out those regulations the instant the
measure is passed. which probably will be
within a few weeks Then the contro'
versy will 60 to the courts TO determine
whether the prohibition amendment TO
the federal constitution intended to pro
hibit the manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes only, or
whether the American people who sup
ported the amendment intended that the
sick should of course be permitted 70
have whatever physicians thought would
assist their return to health.
The So-called anti-beer bill now pend
ing in congress has been attacked by some
PHYSICIANS as dangerous and defended by
others as of no consequence to the prac-
tice of medicine. Senator Ball OF Dela-
ware. himself physician. has fought
vehemently against the measure, declar,
ing that i'm his experience the use OF
liquors had been of considerable benefit

Constitutional Question.


The great question is whether the anti
beer bill which would amend the Vol
stead act is constitutional Only the SUI
preme court of the United States can
decide that 4 test case will surely be
brought the moment the measure has
gone through congress.
Meanwhile the issuance by the treas
ury department of the new regulations
interpreting the original NolStead act as
permitting physicians to prescribe beer
or wines is variously regarded. Some Of
the drys think it is intended to prejudice
their case by crystallizing public opinion
on the subject of the use of liquors for
medicinal purposes. Some of the liberals
insist that the regulations were issued SO
a. to stimulate the dry forces into getting
I the anti-beer bin through congress.
The truth is the treasury department
/ has been for more than year between
, two fireS-the anti-salOOn league on the
/ one hand, insisting that the regulations
( be held up so congress could act while
/ the owners of brewerieS and other manu-
/ featuring establishments have insisted
| that the treasury had no right to prevent
! the manufacture of beer and light wines
! for medicinal purposes in the absence of
/ a specific law 10 the contrary.
