Says Decision is Binding.

THE decision in this case" he said.
confirming the principles of law es-
tabliShed in United States versus
Hill is therefore binding on every
United States Criminal Court in the
Nation"
Mr.. Hill said that Gen. Andrews
employed in prohibition enforcement
in January of this year had stated
that he was satisfied the court has
properly interpreted the law in the
case Of the United States against Hill
and in the case of Isner against the
United States. Gen. Andrews in his
statement said that the court inter-
pretation amounts to this: THAT a
householder who manufacture in his
home for consumption cider and fruit
juices which acquire by fermentation
one half of the l per cent or more of
alcohol by volume, but which are not
intoxicating in fact. does not violate
the law, but that the law is violated
If the fermetation process is allowed
to proceed to the point where the
beverage becomes intoxicating in fact.
Andrews Is Recalled.
Mr.. Hill said that for more than two
years he had been attempting to OBJ
tain through official channels a defini-
llOn OF the WOTQ MISUNDERSTANDING III
section 20 of the Volstead act. He
said that he asked whether cider that
contained 2.75 per cent alcohol Is per-
missible for use In the home, and that
Roy A. Haynes. at that time prohibi-
ton commissioner, had replied that
this office is not disposed to take ac-
lion against the manufacture for use
in the home of the maker of cider or
other fruit juices containing not more
than 2.75 per cent alcohol"
Mr. Hill said, however, that Mr..
Haynes revoked his decision on this
matter when he wrote him in regard
to his bill authorizing the manufac-
ture of 2.75 per cent beer.

York and Representative SABBATH of
Illinois had presented statements for

GROUNDWORK is LAID.

There has been every indication that
conferences designated to bring about
a settlement Of the French and Jugo
Slavian war debt to the United States
would be initiated If the Senate ap.
proves the Italian agreement which is
to be voted OH next Wednesday.
Secretary Mellon and French Am
bassador Berenger have conferred a
number of times since the unsuccess-
full visit here last year Of the Caillaux
mission, and although the groundwork
for a resumption of negotiations has
been laid, American debt officials have
refrained from expressing the same
optimism as to an early understanding
as have some of the French SpokeS-
men.
Vote Set for Wednesday.
The Senate entered into a unanimous
consent agreement yesterday to vote
at o'clock Wednesday afternoon on
the Italian debt pact, and administra-
ton leaders are confident 1t will be
ratified. The House has already acted
on it. Senators opposing the terms
fixed by the American debt COM
mission may endeavor to have the
question returned to the Finance
Committee for further consideration.
In effort first was made to obtain
consent for a vote at 2 pm. Saturday,
but Senator Reed, Democrat, Missou-
ri, objected, with the declaration that
he regarded the settlement as a "spe-
cies of intoierable grand larceny
Later he declared that If the agree
ment were approved the people would
repudiate the action Of Congress.
Borah Enters Argument.
After this development there were
cries Of "Vote. vote" with Chairman
Borah of the foreign relations COM
mittee sitting poised and ready to take
the floor to stave off immediate ac-
ton. He finally arose and announced
that while efforts to get an agreement
were going forward he would discuss
the proposed amendments to the Vol
stead act.
Meantime Chairman Smoot of the
finance committee, in charge of the
bill, reached a compromise with Sen
ator Reed and the proposal for a vote
Wednesday was made. Some Senators
threatened to block it, but it finally
went through. with provision limit
ing debate to 80 minutes for each

But no effort was made 20 arrange

make such an arrangement at this
late hour said the ma gnates. Yet
there was plenty of time to have
stories in the Detroit Tu@'day morn

Getting down to cold turkey, the
magnates probably were afraid they
would get no crowd out for a double

fine playing day was passed ur, and
yesterday 1t rained so much iE the
morning that few Detroiters thought
there would be any battle at the ball
park. The clubs, however, had only
five days remaining in which to get jim
seven games, so they had to take tine
field if possible.
And because of weather conditions
there was only a corporals guard of
fans present. Maybe the magnates
will order the clubs to put open dates
to better use next season.
