SENATE PASSES
ANTI-BEER BILL
Prohibiting Physicians From
Prescribing It-Stanley Puts
Two Amendments On

! Washington, Aug. o-'The Will
lis Campbell anti-becr bill was
passed by the Senate late Mon
day, SO to 20, and sent to confer-
ence with the House. with the
prospect Of its final. enactment
before the end Of the week.
Upon being informed of the ac-
ton, Treasury officials said that
the beer regulations which have
been drafted and are read for
Secretary of the Treasury An
drew Melons signature. would
not be issued pending action by
the Senate and House conferees.
The regulations would provide for
the use of medical beer under the
ruling OF former Attorney Gen
eral Mitchell Palmer, ruling
which the bill is designed to ov-
erCOme.
The ban against prescribing
beer by physicians and limita
ton OF prescriptions Of wine and
whisky contained in the bill as
passed by the House, were vir-
tually unchanged by the Senate,
but a few important amendments
were added. These include pro-
visions to restrict operations OF
prohibition enforcement officers
by prohibiting searches o. any
attempt at searching Of private
property or premises withou;
search warrants. A violation OF |
this clause would be .misdc-
meanor. subject to fine OF ST. /
600 and one year Imprisonment
Penalties of five years i,nprison
ment and ST 600 fines were pro
,ided for persons attempting
searches while posing as prohibi
ton agents.
The search and seizure amend
ment was offered by Senator A !!
0. Stanley, democrat, of Ken
ttcky, as substitute for al
amendment by Senator James A.
Reed, democrat, of Missouri. pro-
posing more drastic penalties
was adopted without a roll ca
Fourteen republicans and six
democrats, including Senate
Stanley, of Kentucky, voted
against passage of the bill. Th:
bill limits wine prescriptions
one-fourth ct a gallon and that OF
splr1tuOus beverages to onc-haif
pint by alcoholic content to all
individual i'll ten days.
No change was made in the
House clause fixing 100 prescrip
tions as the maximum for a ply
sician i'll 90 days, except by spe
cial order of the prohibition COM
missioner.
The Senate adopted two amend
ments offered by Senator Stanley
OF Kentucky, the the bill prohi-
hibiting medicinal use of beer one !
of which may save millions. of
dollars to persons having whisky
III government warehouses III
Kentucky and elsewhere. The
first amendment provides that the
federal tax shall be renlitted on
liquor confiscated by prohibition
officers or stolen from the ware
houses, thus relieving the owner
Of responsibility for the payment
of the tax unless he withdraws
the whisky. Under the present
law the federal tax is charged up !;
to the owner of whisky in a
warehouse and whether the whis-
Ky be stolen or confiscated, he is
required to pay the tax.
The second amendment offered
by Senator Stanley and adopted
by the Senate, makes it a mis-
demeanor punishable by severe |
penalty for an internal revenue
or prohibition officer or any one
impersonating an officer, to enter
a home i'll search of liquor with !
out a search warrant duly issued
in conformity with the. law.
