Foreign Vessels Physicians to Have Custody of Contraband
|FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES
This Would Solve Problem of Wine For Crews Should Physicians Care to Rule This Part of Their Rations is Medicine.

1 Washington, June 1s.--- A part of
 the mystery which has surrounded the latest treasury move in the ship | liquor controversy was dispelled to- day by declaration in official circles foreign ship will be given custody, in American waters, of such liquor as
 he Is willing to certify Is for "rnedi- cinal" purposes.
 Although no one at the treasury would discuss the development in de- tail, 1t was assumed that under this policy 1t will be possible for foreign ships to bring in wine rations for their crews under seal provided the doctor in charge chooses to regard the in- toxicants so carried as medicinal"
 A letter sent yesterday by Secretary Mellon to the public health service constitutes a construction of medicinal provisions of the law and makes sure that all foreign laws requiring ships to carry medicinal liquors will be complied with,
 By those instructions, a ships doc tor may make sworn statement as to the liquors they deem necessary | for medicinal purposes and public | health officers will not dispute their opinion.
 The letter is not regarded at the | treasury as charging any section of | the regulations as recently promul- gated to carry out the findings of the supreme court It is conceded, how ,ver, that 1t will work for elasticity in II he regulatory provisions.
