Declaring that the status of street
decoration has not advanced for a
quarter of century, the Commission
of Fine Arts today advised against

gested by a joint committee Of war

The effect of such decoration would
be destroyed on Sixteenth street, the

increased by the difficulty OF securing

many diverse interests, such as

HOMEMADE WINE
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Possession of intoxicating
Fruit Juices Unlawful,
Federal Judge Holds.

~ the hSSOcldteu GTSs5.
NEW YORK, March 24.-House-
holders who do not go down into the
cellar and put something in grape
juice to keep 1t from turning into
wine are violators OF the eighteenth
amendment. according to a decision
given yesterday in Federal Court by
Judge Augustus N. Hand.
He granted an order conf1scating 10
barrels of grape juice which chemists
said contained 10 per cent alcohol.
The ruling. attorneys said, affects
the status of farmers who make their
own cider and wine, which heretofore
has been considered immune to
seizure.
The wine seized belonged to Mrs
Josephine Maltone. who said she'd
done nothing but put grape juice in
barrels in her cellar.
Contends Preparation Legal.
Her attorney, Eli Rosenberg, argued
that it was legal to prepare grape
juice for home consumption and that
confiscation was irregular unless 1t
were proved that the wine was intoxi-
eating in fact.
Quoting section 90, title 2. of the
national prohibition act, Judge Hand
read:
THE penalties provided in this act
against the manufacture OF liquor
without permit shall not apply to a
person who manufactures uon-intoxi-
eating cider and fruit juices exclu.
sively for use in his own home, but
such cider and fruit juices shall not
be sold or delivered except to persons
who have permits to manufacture
vinegar"
He then declared:
II can hardly regard grape Juice
containing 13 per cent OF alcohol as
Possession Held Unlawful.
Possession of grape juice for home
use which was Notwithstanding when
by the possessor be-
comes unlawful under the act when.
ever the liquor becomes intoxicating,
through natural fermentation
or otherwise"
The section of the act on which
Judge Hands ruling was based Is
that invoked by Congressman Hill OF
when he fermented wine
and defied arrest on the ground that
the wine could not be declared intoxi-
eating in fact until some one became
by drinking it. sc
