Ask Punishment
For Publishing Beer
Recipe of Washington

Washington, March 2--(AP)--Ac-
tion against the editor of the WASH
ington Post for publication of George
Washington's beer recipe in this
mornings issue was demanded of
President Coolidge today by Repre-
sentative Blanton, Texas. Publica-
ton Of the recipe, the Texas repre-
sentative charged on the floor of the
house. constituted q violation of the
prohibition law.
"There is concerted effort" he
said. ION the part of individuals in
this government Just now to break
down the law, and the challenge is to
the president. What is he going to
do about it?"
Mr.. Blanton said the law provided
a fine of not less than 500 nor more
than $500 for publication of recipes
of alcoholic liquors, adding: "That
Is the law of the land. The burden
Is now upon the president as the
chief executive of this nation to en-
force the law. And yet in the ma
TONS capital we find this morning
in the administrations mouthpiece,
the Washington Post, which is
known far and wide as that admin
istration paper-we find a violation
of that very law"
If the president "is the man that
this nation has given him the credit
or being" Mr.. Blanton continued. he
will. notwithstanding that the editor
Is his personal friend, give orders to
see to it that this editor and every ed
itor who violates this law shall be
prosecuted, the same as any other
criminal in the land"
Referring to the face the facts
dinner held here by the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment on
George Washington's birthday, at
which the beer recipe was read, Mr.
Blanton asserted that "the people are
getting tired of these combinations
that. failing to obtain authority to
read the recipe. do SO anyhow.
There is today in Washington" he
added. "a greater challenge to the
president to enforce the law than he
ever met in Massachusetts,. He did not
let the law be fiuuted there. He met it
like man. I appeal to him.
Prohibition officials are frankly
puzzled over the publication of the
recipe but it was announced at the de-
partment of justice that no official
cognizance of it had been taken.
While the law prohibits the publica-
ton of a recipe for the manufacture of
beer, it was stated at prohibition en-
forcement headquarters that the intent
of the publisher must be taken into
consideration. If the intent was to
publish a historical document, some
officials thought informally, it was
doubtful that any action could be sue
cessfully prosecuted.

Boston, March 2-(AP)-A general

ported English woman, charging that
she was detained under harsh rules
and bad conditions in Boston, was is

person has kicked at conditions here.
She said her stomach couldn't stand
ordinary food so we sent out for
special bread for her. various kinds
of rye bread, and special rye bread.
We did everything possible to make
her comfortable, but shed is a hard
person to deal with"
Mrs. Chippendale was excluded
from entry into the United States
because of admission she made be-
fore a board of special inquiry IN
volving moral turpitude.
"She was unlawfully in the coun-
try" Mr.. Johnson said. II suppose

and had to vent her hard feelings on
somebody
incidentally, Mr.. Johnson added
that "she wanted to go to her daugh-

Milligan May Get
His Long Awaited
Fight with Walker

New York, March 2.-(AP)-The
State Athletic commission today
paved the way for Tommy Milligan
of Scotland to get his long deferred
match with Mickey Walker for the
worlds welterweight championship.
Although no formal action was
taken, Chairman Farley announced
that Walker would be requested to
make arrangements by March 81 to
defend his title and that Milligan, as
the officially recognized challenger,
would be given preference as an OPP
ponent.
The only hitch in this plan is that
Milligan has arranged to sail for
engagement here tomorrow night
against George Levine.
Unless the Scotch battler remains
here, he may lose his recognition as
challenger. Chairman Farley said the
commission regarded Joe Dundee,
sensational Baltimore welterweight,
as another likely opponent for Wall
ker. Dundee is expected to get first
call for a title match if Milligan goes
back to Scotland.
Chairman Farley's statement re-
verses the previous attitude of the
commission toward Walker. After an
infected toe kept the champion from
going through with a match with
Milligan on the Christmas fund show
at Madison Square Garden, the COM
mission stepped in and prevented the
bout from being staged on a January
date. This was interpreted at the
time as disciplinary move against
Walker
The commissions rule compelling
champions to defend their titles every
six months is a compelling factor in
the situation. The date fixed for
Walker to act on his next champion
ship fight marks the end of the per-
iod of grace for the welterweight
title-holder. His last title battle was
with Dave Shade September 81, 1925.
Suspensions of Basil Galiano, New
Orleans lightweight. and Bushy Ora
ham, Utica, N. Y, bantam were lift

In a report today to the Interstate

of the Southern Railway wreck at
Fargo. Ga, December IL, in which
/ man was killed and Al injured, in
SpectorS of the commissions safety
bureau found reason to criticize the
condition of that roads equipment.
The apparent cause of the wreck was
given as Il defect in the tender to a
passenger train engine.
This accident probably was caused
by the defective condition of the side
bearings Of the tender" the report
said, coupled with irregularity in
track elevation and excessive speed in
view of those irregularities and the
elevation which was maintained on the
curves. The peculiar manner.in which
the side bearings had been worn indi-
Gated quite clearly that they would
be rigid when in contact with each
other proper inspection of
this engine should have disclosed the

Loses Hand in Saw

J. J. Crews, employed at Sallee Bros.
Handle Mill, lost the major portion Of
his right hand in saw last Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Crews was putting a piece Of
timber through one of the big saws
and, according to reports, sawed COM
pletely through instead of leaving
enough to hold the pieces together. 1t
is said that when one of the pieces
fell from the table Mr. Crews made a
grab for it and struck the saw with
his hand. The member was badly
mangled and local surgeons trimmed 1t
down until there is practically nothing
but a stub of hand on the right arm.
Mr. Crews suffered greatly from the
injury but is able to be out and around
this week.
