and Conference Report
Is Adopted.
KILLS PALMER RULING
ON MEDICINAL USES
Physicians Limited to 100 Liquor
Prescriptions Every 8 Months.
Bill Goes to President,

The final legislative step for the
outlawing of beer and malt liquors
for medical purposes was taken to-
day by the Senate.
By vote of 56 to 90 the Senate
adopted the conference report on the
so-called anti-beer bill and the meas
ure now goes to the President, the
House having acted some time ago.
Twelve republicans and ten demo-
Gratis voted against the conference
report.
How They Voted.
The republican opponents were Sem
ators Brandegee, du Pont, Edge, John
SON tCalif.), La Toilette, Lodge, Nc

who, two days. before he retired. ad-
yised the prohibition enforcement of
ficials that there was nothing in the
volstead act to prohibit the prescrip-
ton of beer and light wines for
medicinal purposes.
The anti-beer legislation has been
before Congress since last June. The
House accepted the compromise reach
| ed by the conferees in August, but
there followed a bitter controversy in
the Senate, waged by a small but de-
termined group, who contended that
the bill struck a fatal blow at per-
sonal rights because it permitted
search and seizure without warrants.
The first draft of the measure au-
| thorized the search OF private homes
without warrants. but this feature
was eliminated in conference.
Prescriptions Are Limited.
The bill limits physicians to 100
prescriptions for liquor each three
months and specifies that not more
than a quart Of spirituous or vinous
liquor containing in the aggregate
lot more than one-half pint of alcohol
may be prescribed for one person in
ten days.
Importation Of liquors is barred by
the bill until the supply on hand in
the United States shall no longer be
sufficient to meet the current need for
non-beverage uses.

SENATE D|SAGREES
| ON NEWbERRY CASE
Fails TO Fix Date for Vote in
Contest Over Seat-Long
Delay Seen.

Behind closed doors today the Sen
ate made another futile effort to reach
an agreement for a vote on the Ford
Newberry senatorial contest from
Michigan.
Several democrats objected, and the
movement was dropped. Senators
Trammell of Florida and Heflin of
Alabama were reported among those
objecting to fixing any definite date.
and Senator Robinson. democrat.
Arkansas, was said to have declared
vote was improbable before next jan
uary.
The republicans decided to press
the Newberry case, but without hold
ing night sessions. until the confer
ence report on the tax bill is pre-
sented, and Senator Pomerene, demo-
crat, Ohio, continued his speech
against the seating of Senator New
berry Republican leaders expressed
hope that a vote still might be Sc
cured in a few days, but democrats
said it was unlikely.
Fails to Complete Speech.
Mr.. Eomerene did not complete his
speech yesterday, giving way to other
senator's who wanted to discuss the
anti-beer bill, which was voted on to-
day.
The Ohio senator at times called at
tention to the many empty seats on
the republican side, adding once that
Il guess the republican senators do
not care to be told the truth" The
privileges and elections committee, he
declared, had blocked every effort he
had made to have Mr.. Newberry him.

"You would not have had to ask me
or order me to come before the COM
mittee if l were contestinS the case"
Mr. Pomerene shouted. Il would have
broken into that committee with a
sledge hammer if I could have gotten
in no other way
Turning to the republican side, he
inquired why there had been no ct
fort to tell what the defense of this
quasi senator" was against the
charges filed. He also discussed the
testimony of witnesses before the
committee, in an attempt to show
that they had not told the whole story
and that the committee had reported
the resolution to deny the Ford claim
without gathering all the evidence
available.
Heated controversies were evident
Chairman Spencer of the privileges
many times to demand explanations
of statements made by the Ohio sem
ator. and these Interruptions usually
led to acrimonious exchanges in
which several senators participated.

POLICE ABSO[yED
IN TRAFFIC JAM
Commissioner Oyster Finds
They Handled Situation
"EfficientIy as Possible"

The police department was absolved
from blame for the traffic jam which
occurred in connection with the burial
Of the unknown soldier last Friday in
a formal statement made public today
meeting Of the Commissioners.
Commissioner Oyster declared in the
statement that he fully concurred in
the findings Of Maj. Gessford that the
police handled the situation as eff
ciently as 1t was possible to handle
such bottled-up jas.,.'' -..
Memorial Bridge Needed.
The Commissioner stated that he
agrees with the belief that q recurrence
of such q jam can be avoided only by
the construction Of the proposed me-
mortal bridge to Arlington. The state
ment follows:
"As the member Of the board of
District Commissioners exercising
special supervision over the police
department., I have made an investi-
cation for the PURPOSE of determin-
ing whether TIE police were respons-
ible for the unfortunate traffic tie-up
Had police inefficiency underlain the
trouble it was my purpose to develop
the fact and publicly place the blame
where it belonged.
after considering carefully the re-
port of the major and superintendent
of police dealing with the matter. re-
ports Of police officers who were on
duty at the scene of confusion and
the statements made voluntarily to
the Commissioners by many citizens
who witnessed what occurred, / am
unable to find that the police were at
fault.
"On the contrary. the evidence
shows beyond question that the con-
gestion resulted from an unprece-
dented volume of traffic seeking to
flow through travel arteries that
were incapable of accommodating it.
OutstandinE Facts.
From the evidence gathered, two
facts stand out clearly. The first is,
the congestion originated in Virginia
near Arlington; the second. this con-
gestion expanded, until Military road,
from the south end of Highway
bridge to Arlington. became a solid,
non moving mass Of automobiles,
thereby stopping traffic from Washing

a barrier the police naturally were
helpless, nor would the stationing of the
entire police force at the bridge have
made possible any material improve
ment.
"Tie traffic jam had its fncention
early in the efforts of thousands Of
automobilists who had remained in
Washington for the parade to be the
first to reach Arlington. Eleven
streets that connect with 14th street
south of Pennsylvania avenue were
soon operating at maximum capacity
as feeders their traffic flows con-
verging into q single mighty stream
that swept down 14th street and
across the bridge. Despite the VOL
ume of this vehicular movement. it
proceeded without serious Interrupt
ton until the thoroughfare- leading
from the bridge to Arlington finally
had become so choked with cars that
further progress was impossible.
How 1t Developed.
According to the reports before the
Commissioners. the congestion devel-
oped first at Arlington. where delay
in parking machines soon had the ef-
feet Of piling up traffic on the road.
