Indiana is restined to be an important

PALMER RULING

Sacramento Wine Issue Is
Raised by Clergy and
Rabbis, Claim.
WHOLESALER STATUS UP

WASHINGTON. July 19,--Attorney
General Daugherty viii be asked to re-
consider an opinion by his predecessor,
which outlawed Wholesale liquor dealers.
This became known today after a formal
appeal by representatives of the clergy
was filed, asking for a review Of the
opinion as far as 1t relates to the distrl-
button of sacramental wines.
The entire question Of the status OF
wholesale liquor dealers, therefore, under
the so-called 'permissive'' provisions OF
the VoIstead law, viii be reopened.
The clergy, representing many denomi-
nations, was vigorous in its criticism OF
present regulations. Their earnest plea
that they be less restricted in obtaining
sacramento wines, in required quantities
for different ceremonies, won a promise
today from prohibition heads for a ma
terial modification Of the rules now in
force.
Officials at the Treasury Department,
supervising prohibition enforcement, to-
gether with Prohibition Commissioners
Haynes invited the attorneys for the vari-
Gus groups Of clergymen to submit their
briefs relating to proposed changes in the
regulations. To meet the objections
raised by the clergy, the regulations are
being redrafted in certain provisions,
governing distribution of sacramentaI
wines
Officials agreed FURNISH the clergy
with copies Of the proposed changes for
further suggestions If they choose to
offer them. Chief criticism of the reerIa-
tons, as voiced by representative mem
bers of the Catholic and Episcopal clergy,
and representative rabbis from many
cities. is that in their present form, the
regulations are not flexible enough to
allow the representatives easily and with
out some embarrassment to secure such
sacramento wines as they regard essen
tial for the rights Of the various faiths

In mining bituminous coal in many other

Waste in coal mining may be connected
with the system Of mining used or It may
be independent OF the system, the same
form Of waste occurring under all systems
The principal sources OF waste are classed
as follows:
Not robbing the pillars In the room and

Unclean mining In the strip pit method
Leaving coal containing partings in any

Producing unrecovered culm.
Leaving coal around horse backs, bells,
