WHEELER CERTAIN
 HILL WAS WRONG
cquittal Does Not Change Dry
 Workers Opinion

Washington. Nov 14.-Comnent- g on the acquittal in Baltimore of representative John Philip Hill, Pro hition Commissioner Haynes de- ared that there "are many sections the country where the verdict of 0 jury would have been just to the Pntrary, oven in case of the manu- cture and possession of liquor of a uoh less per cent of alcoholic |rength."
 T am clearly of the opinion," MT. aynes continued, that fruit juices the alcoholic strength of that ad- itted to have been made by Repre- ntative Hill, are in fact intoxicat- S and this unit will take notice of such cases as are made to ap- ar hereafter as heretofore, and the " enforcement will proceed as be- Ire. It should be borne in mind at Representative Hill was acquit- | d by jury on a question of fact, pa that there was no holdlng by the dge to the effect that wine of Il r cent of alcoholic strength is not
 fact intoxicating.
 Regarding the opinion of Judge bper in the same case, that the anufacture and possession of cider i'd notwithstanding fruit juices for elusive use In the home, are not rbidden, provided they are non toxicating in fact, Commissioner [aynes asserted this view was in tire harmony with the holdings Of e prohibition unit.
