DRUGGISTS SEE Big
PROFIT IN REALBEER
Prohibition Officials Have No

EXtortion.

Revenue Commissioner Ex-
plains Fully Their Rights
to Distribute Product.
Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.

New York HeraId Bureau.
Washington, ID. G., Nov. 2.
Druggists expect to make a net profit
of 100 per cent. and more on sales of
medicinal beer on physicians prescrip-
tions, according to reports to prohibition
officials to-day.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes was
asked what he would do to prevent ex-
cessive prices for beer. He said, "the
law gives us no authority to regulate
the prices for malt or spirituous liquors.
There appears to be nothing we can do
10 prevent eXtortion. We assume that
the better class of druggists will not
seek to inflict extortion on the sick for
whom beer may be prescribed"
Review of the beer situation for the
benefit of prohibition officials. Mr..
Haynes said, disclosed that thus far
only a small per cent. of the brewers
have moved to take advantage of the
beer regulations. Many of the brewers,
however have awaited some definite as
surance from the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau as to the right to sell large stocks
of real beer now stored at breweries
ready to be sold to druggists. This as
surance in definite and final form went
to the brewers to-day over the signature
Of Revenue Commissioner Blair.
Mr.. Blair dictated a letter to all
brewers who have lodged inquiries with
the bureau declaring that the distribu-
ton of accumulated stocks of beer is
held to be legal. The beer stocks in
question have been manufactured and
aged for six months or more and will
soon appear in drug stores that desire
to handle the malt liquors.
Revenue officials said to-day that the
revenue law of 1918 containing a provi-
sion for q tax of S6 a barrel on real beer
will be applied in the cases of all brew
ers who qualify under new regulations.
The tax TO be paid by the brewer viii
average about 40 cents on each case of
twenty-four bottles. No other tax is to
be added unless the brewer and druggist
seek to make an additional charge To
help defray the total bond and tax costs
imposed by other phases of the liquor
business on a non-beverage basis.

In pursuit Of bootleggers by. sea

yesterday a British schooner off Staten
Island, believed to be one of the most
persistent rum runners; raided a cafe
in Old Broadway and shot the pro-
prietor, and searched through Harlem
haunts, where they reported finding
ten Volstead act violators. whom they
awoke from their late lethargy of en-
forcement and raided a cafe in
Bayard street. The other chief event
in the situation was a search by
posses through Westchester hills for
alcohol valued at $4,000, stolen by
bandits.
Flying bottles and the crack Of re-
volvers in James Morris's cafe at "a
Old Broadway gave that ordinarily
quiet place five minutes resemblance
to the bullet bitten interior of an old
frontier saloon. The alleged sale Of
liquor there to prohibition agents re-
suited in fight in which Morris was
shot in the leg, and in much excite
ment among persons in the neighbor-
hood. who got the idea that striking
milk drivers were attacking nearby
plants of the Borden and Sheffield
Farms milk companies.
The raid was made in connection with
several others by Agents Wittenberg.
Dalanti and Kerrigan. The police say
the shot that wounded Morris was fired
by Dalanti after he and Wittenberg,
having purchased whiskey, showed their
shields and were attacked by fusillade
of bottles. a general fight started, in
which the agents drew their guns. and
Dalanti fired. Kerrigan. outside, found
