Blair Restores
Alcohol Permit
OF Fleischrnann
Company's Appeal From
Cancellation Orders Up
held by Revenue Chief;
Sale by Agencies Barred
Orders New Regulations
Manufacturer TO Be Held
Responsible for Agent in
Complying With the Law

WASHINGTON. March 10.-~Appeal
Of the Fleschmann Company, Inc, Of
New York, from orders of Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes canccling its
permits for the distilling Of alcohol in
connection With the manufacture Of
yeast At it's Peckskill, n. Y, and Lang
don, d. C., plants was sustained to
night by Internal Revenue Commits
sioncr Blair. At the same time Mr.
Blair upheld orders by Mr. Haynes re
vokng permits for the sale Of alcohol
BY The company's agencies at Phila-
dclphia, Scranton, Pa, Yonkcrs, N. Y,
Brooklyn Jersey City, Bridgeport,
Conn, Cambridge, Mass, and Gin
cinnati
While MI Blair absolvcd the Fleisch-
mann Company from knowledge Of di-
version Of alcohol to illegal purposes
by its agencies, he declared the agency
method Of distribution was in viola
tion of Treasury regulation, "but was
adopted in good faith and, according
nesses, with the full knowledge and
consent Of certain officials Of the pro
hibition unit who have since resigned
or been transferred from that unit"
He did not disclose their names.
Revocation Of all the industrial alco-
hol permits of the Flcischmann Corn
pany and its agents was ordered Fri
day by Mr.. Haynes after hearings in
Philadelphia on charges including the
diversion of alcohol to beverage pur-
poses and the disposal Of beverage
alcohol on forged permits. Seizure Of
alcohol at the companies splants and
agencies also was ordered Appeal
from The orders and stay Of their
execution pending a rchearing held
Tuesday was granted on Saturday by
MI Blair, with the approval Of Sccre-
tary Mellon.
The final decision in the case, Mr.
Blair explained, enables the company,
which furnishes "between so and 90
per cent of the total amount OF yeast
manufactured in the continent Of
North America to continue its oper-
ations at its manufacturing plants at
Pcexskill and Langdon.
Alcohol in the hands of agencies Of
the company, he ruled, must be re-
turned to those plants within thirty
days or be subject to forfeiture to the
government. The agencies, however,
he said, might obtain permits for the
sale Of alcohol by complying with new
regulations issued tonight. These
make the manufacturer responsible for
his agent complying with the law and
cause title to alcohol to remain in the
manufacturer until disposed Of to a
purchaser under permit.
Mr.. Blair held there was no evidence
that the company knew Of unlawful
diversion of alcohol by it's agents, but
that the officers of the company were
negligent in inspecting the agencies
and did not use due care in supervising
them

Obedience 10 Statutes. He
Tells Cathedral Audience
When Asked for Opinion
No Sin in Wine and Beer
Opposes Extremists Views,
but Sees Great Practical
Benefits i'm Prohibition

Bishop William T. Manning. in the
Cathcdral Of st. John the Divine ves-
terday afternoon. called upon all the
Episcopal clcrgy and the people, what
ever their views about prohibition and
whatever their religion, to stand with
their Whole strength for tho principle
of respect for lsw upon which the life
o. the country depended
He had been asked to give his opin-
ion ss 10 whether it was the duty Of
the people to obey the prohibition laws.
He did so Immediately and before be
ginning his regular l.enten lecture.
The Cathedral, dcspitc the rain, was
crowded
Il have already spoken publicly on
this subject" began the Bishop, "but
| want to express NY Judgment upon it
again, bore at the Cathedral. in the
most open and public manner possible.
No Sin in Light Drinks.
Il have never been in theory pro
hibitionist. do not agree with the
extremists who say that to drink wine
or beer is q sin in itself From actual
observation in the army, however. be
heve that prohibition will be of great
practice and moral benefit to the life
of our country. From information
coming to me from many sources I be
lieve that prohibition is working Il
great moral and practical benefit in the
homes and conditions Of life among the
working people of our country as q
whole.
But the question is not whether VIC
believe in prohibition OR not, but
of the land. Upon this question there
is room for no two opinions II we
disapprove the prohibition laws We
have the right to scy so, and to work
for their repcal.
"But none OF us has the right to evadc
or disobey the law as 1t stands, and
we cannot do this without working
grave harm to our national life.
"The charge is made that this law is
disoboyed chiefly by those whose edu-
cation, wealth and position in the COM
munity give them the widest influence
If this is the case it is a matter of the
utmost seriousness"
Reverence for Law Essential
The bishop then read a warning at
tributed to the Judiciary section of the
Bar Association concerning the neces-
sity of reverence for the laws Of the
land by all classes if anarchy and vio-
lence were TO he avoided. He contin-
ued:
Gas bishop of this diocese I most
solemnly associate myself with those
words AS true citizens we cannot take
any other position. J call upon all our
clergy and upon all our people what
ever their views about prohibition.
whatever their station in life. and
whatever their religion, to stand with
their whole strength for the sacred
principle of respect for law upon which
the life of the country depends.
"And let me add in this connection
that the position of the presid ling
bishop Of our council upon this ques-
tion has been misrepresented I have
not consulted him, but know we'll that
Bishop Gailor stands as strongly as
do for that principle of respect for Law
Of which | have here spoken, and for
which call upon all our people to
stand" 81
