HILL URGES HAYNES TO
 AID HIS LIQUOR FIGHT
Plans Ia Compel Issuing of indiet- ments in His Dispute Over
 Wines

Southampton. l.. l.. Oct. S.-iieprc- sentative John Phillip Hill, has gone to Baltimore where he expects to loo i.,uicted for violation Of the Nolstead act because Of his experiments in making grape wine, said today that if he is held for trial he will ask Prohi- bition Commissioner Haynes to ap- point the counselor of the prohibition department to defend him.
 'If l am indicted" the representa- tive said, it will show that l am right that cider or fruit wine over one half of one per cent alcoholic strength Is illegal. That is my contention. but Commissioner Haynes has said the farmer could make his cider as long as it was notwithstanding have fol- lowed his advice and made wine. Ii am indicted he ought to be interested in my defense, which is really the defense of his position. If am guilty he is wrong.
 "Either indicted or not indicted, win. If my wine is legal; then the standard for the country is different from the standard of the cities If my wine is illegal, then l can tell the farmers that they cannot make their cider and their fruit juice wine. Either way 1 hope to point out the absurdity of the Volstead act and will work for modification allowing light wines and beer"
 Representative Hill said further that he would make every effort to force an indictment and as soon as he got to Baltimore would offer every facility to the district attorney and the grand jury in order to make things as easy as possible for them.

country, are the old reliable Sperry

eepted at the one parlor.
