FAVORABLY
REPORTED
License Fee Raised, Content
Kept at so, But Is
Subject to Change

Washington's beer bill was
favorably reported to the
House today by the new House
District Committee.
The bill now goes on the Speak
er'S desk subject to call at any
time. Speaker Henry T. Rainey
indicated last week that the
measure would be given prefer
ence when called up.
Four major amendments were
made in the committee report.
The tax per barrel is cut from
$1.20 to 81; each hotel which is
a member of a chain must obtain
a. separate license; all persons
handling beer in bulk must pay
a $50 license instead Of $25 fee,
and while the alcoholic content
was left at 3.2 per cent, it was
agreed that if the national bill
was cut to 3.05, the local measure
would be made to comply.
Only one member of the com
mittee, Representative Gale H,
Stalker (R. of New York. asked
to be recorded as oppoSd to a
favorable report.
Surprise for DryS
While no hearings on the bill
were scheduled. Representative
Vincent L. Palmisano (D0 of
Maryland, who presided as acting
chai man, permitted approx
mately 300 drys who crowded the
District committee rooms and
the House Office Building corri'
dors to testify.
Four of the new members gave
the drys a great surprise in
statements they made during the
course of the hearing.
Representative Everett M. Dirk,
sen RO of Illinois. told the as.
semblage that while he was a
good Presbyterian, he fovors the
District beer bill because it con,
tanned a thrill and a kick.
Dirksen said that he did not
think so much of Maryland rye
and thought that beer would be
much better.
Representative Virginia E.
Jenckes Cd of Indiana took
exception to statements by drys
that only Christian people oppose
the District beer measure. She
suggested that in future the drys
go out after 10 o'clock at night
and find out what is going on.
Amendments Suggested
Representative George Burnham
(RD of California declared he
would much prefer to have the
family remain at home and drink
beer than to go out with flasks
on the hip.

ley (RO of New York took ex-

DENVER. March 20 ON.SD
A long-distance telephone call
from Minneapolis to Hopewell, N.

manner of demanding ransom in
the Lindbergh case and the
Boettcher case may link Verne
Sankey with the kindnaping and
murder of the Lindbergh baby a
year ago, M. F. Kinkead, county
attorney of st. Paul, Mimi, said
today.
Kinkead declared that beyond

now the object of an interna-

of Charles Boettcher I'd Denver

kidnapped Haskell BOhn, son of a

ASKS
SALE Of POST

That a receiver be appointed
for the washington Post and the
newspaper sold at an early date
was recommended today by Cor
coran Thorn, president of the Am
erican Security and Trust Com
pany, in District Supreme Court.
The recommendation was made
during hearing on a suit filed by
the trust company to GUST Edward
B. Mclean from co-trustee OF the
estate of his father, John R. NC
Lean. The trust company is the
other cotrustee.
Two bids. each approximating
$1,OOO.OOO, have been made for
the Post, Thorn said. One, he
said. was made by a newspaper
publisher and the other by Mrs.
Evalyn Walsh Mclean, wife OF
the former publisher.
In 1929 Eugene Meyer, gov
ernor of the Federal Reserve,
made a bid of $5,OOO,OOO cash for
the Post, Thorn said, but the
sale was blocked by Mclean.
The Post has incurred debts OF
nearly $5OO,0OC, which would
have to be paid out of the pur-
chase price if the paper is sold,
Thorn said,
The American Security & Trust
Company has advanced $155,0OO
to the Post for operating ex-
penSes, Thorn said.
The executive committee of the
company decided last week that
an additional $4,000 would be
advanced to keep the paper going
until hearing on the suit was
terminated, but there will be no
further advances, he said.

A former bartender, who says
he never sold to a drunken man
and never knowingly to a minor,
today emerged as the leader in
the fight to legalize beer in the
National Capital.
He is Representative Vincent
PalmiSano O0 of Maryland, who
represents a Baltimore district
and is head of a subcommittee of
the District Committee complet-
ing a beer bill for Washington.
Although Palmisano is a drip
ping wet" he hopes the bill
evolved by the committee will pro-
mote the cause of temperance.
When he first disclosed before
the Ways and Means Committee
he had tended bar, Palmisano
maintained that even the old
liquor system was better than
"the SpeakeaSy system" He said:
''Why, I never sold to a
drunken man, and many times
1 refused to sell to a person rs
years old because did not
think he was FL.
"NOw the bOOtIeggers sell to
everybody, young and old, and
they don't care whether he is
drunk or not. Nor do they care
if the stuff is fit to drink"
Born in Terminese, italy.
Palmisano migrated with his par
ents at an early age. His term
of tending bar was limited, be-
cause he studied law and was
admitted to the bar when he was
27 wears old.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March
20 (I.N.S.). Flood waters
ragged through the Ohio river
valley today from the West
Virginia line to Louisville,
spreading destruction through
four States-Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Indiana.
Seven persons are known to
have died in the flooded area.
With the water level pushing
steadily higher as rain-swollen
tributaries emptied rushing tor
rents into the Ohio River, the
flood was characterized as the
worst since 1913.
Troops to assist in flood con-
troll work in the stricken north
ern Kentucky border district
were asked of Adj. Gen. H. H.
Denhardt. Officials of Covington
and Newport requested that ma
tional guardsmen be sent into the
area. Army tents to house the
homeless also were asked.
More than a score of cities and
towns have been damaged by the
rush of water from the Ohio it.
self. The flood has inundated
thousands of acres of fertile farm
land, submerged long stretches of
highways, and covered railroad
tracks in the lowlands.
Hundreds Flee Homes.
, Tributaries of the Ohio were
steadily rising above Cincinnati,
spreading beyond their banks to
cover the countryside and add to
the Ohio's torrent.
Ohios highway system has been
damaged to the extent of fully
$1,00O,OOO, Highway Director o. w.
Merrell estimated today.
Hundreds of families have been
driven from their homes and have
, sought shelter on higher ground.
At Portsmouth the mayor last
night issued a proclamation warn
ing the citizens to be ready to flee
as the swollen waters beat against
the river wall protecting the city.
All highways leading to the city
have been covered.
In Newport, KY. the Ohio was
eight feet above the flood stage
and still rising with IS city blocks

CONFEREES
AGREE ON
3.2 BEER
Speedy Passage of Measure
Assured; Sale to Minors
Approved

LegaIizatiOn of 80 beer, wine
and fruit juices was agreed upon
today by Senate and House con-
fereeS, thus insuring immediate
enactment of the Roosevelt beer
bill. The cOnferees struck out
the BOrah amendment, adopted
by the Senate, which would have
forbidden sale of the legaliZed
beverages to children under Is
years of age.
The beer bill will be out of
the hands of Congress and on
the way to the President be-
fore tomorrow night, Speaker
Rainey said today.
Three principal amendments
have to be settled in conference
the percentage Of alcohol, the in
clusion of wine, and the ban on
sale or gift of beer to minors un'
der Is. Under the rules the Sen
ate must act first after the con
ferees agree.
Action Today Is Possible
Rainey said that if the con.
ferees reported today before ad'
journment, their report might be
agreed to under suspension Of the
rules, which requires a two-thlrds
vote.
Vice President Garner named
Senator Harrison CD of Missis'
Sippi, King (DD of Utah, Walsh
CD of Massachusetts,, Reed (R)
of Pennsylvania, and Couzens
(R) of Michigan as the Senate
confereeS.
House and Senate were divided
over the question of legalizing 80
or 3.O5 per cent beer. This con.
troversy must be settled to the
satisfaction of both branches be,
fore the bill can be enacted and
sent to the White House for Mr.
Roosevelt's signature.
Democratic leaders expected
the House to adopt the Senate
Limitation of 3.05 per cent. This
limit was set by the Senate on
the recommendation of its
Judiciary Committee, which held
a beer containing not more than
3.O5 per cent alcohol was non
intoxicating.

ATHENS, Greece, August 31.-Denis
IaZarimOS, one of the attorneys for
Samuel insult, said today it would be
q long time before the insult eXtradi-
ton case is tried because it will be
necessary to obtain all evidence from
America
the detention of the former Chicago
utilities operator pending proceedings
to determine whether he is to be extra
dited to face trial in the United States
on an indictment charging violation of
the bankruptcy laws.
Lazarimos asserted he was Obliged
to work in the dark without full knowl
edge of the definite charges" He said
great secrecy was being maintained in
American quarters here and that not
even the Greek foreign Office knew eX-
actly what the charge was.
Defense's Hands Tied.
Until the charges are in the hands
of the defense we cannot move" he
said, "as Mr. insult remembers nothing
definitely concerning bankruptcy mat
ters because of the time which has
elapsed"
Forest Harness. representing the
United States Attorney Generals office,
announced yesterday he would allow Mr..
insult to see the indictment in order
that he might prepare a defense.
According to Lazarimos the Greek
courts are obliged to go into the sub
stance of the case. and not merely into
the merits of the American Govern
ment's request for eXtradition. This is
true. he said, because what one country
calls crime another might not.
Another Question Involved.
Another question involved in the case.
the defense counsel asserted, is whether
the American Government is bringing
charges in its own behalf or whether
the action is in behalf of an individual
State.
Although LaZarimos says it will be
some time before the issue is heard in
court here, he thinks that once the case
begins it will be disposed of IN one or
two days He added that he had been
told the indictment was a document OF

Penalties Are Reuiued
 For Misbrdnding Liquor

SEATTLE. Dec. 2l-All the stringent Fe derai regulations against the misbranding or adult eration of beers. wines and spirits, which were nullified by prohibi- ton, are now back in force, it is announced by J. C. Palmer, acting chief of the Seattle office of the food and drug administration.
 He pointed out that the law pro- yides fine of not more than $200 for the first offense and fine of not more than $500 or imprison- ment for not more than one year or both for each subsequent con- viction
 Misbranded beverages which do not contain deleterious substances may be relabeled to conform with the food and drugs act, he added but such as are deemed unfit for human consumption will be con fiscated and destroyed
 Palmer explained that there may be changes in the revived regula- tions to meet the changing con- ditions, but, he said. he had been advised that, for the present, the old rulings will have full effect. The act applies only to articles im- ported from foreign countries or shipped from one state to another but this is not much of a restric- ton as far as Washington is con- cerned, as practically all spirits and wines on sale in this state come from other states or countries and many beers are not local
 Scotch Must Be Scotch
 One of the most drastic regula- tions revived in one issue in Feb ruary, 1910 prescribing the legal manner of labelling whisky. mix lures and limitations. Under this only unmixed distilled spirits from grain, with harmless coloring and flavoring. of not less than SC proof. may be labeled as whisky without qualifications.
 Where whiskies of the same or different kinds are mixed. the reg ulation provides. the product must be clearly labeled as a blend. while whistles mixed with alcoholic dis ,tillates from sources other thar grain must be offered as com- pound. Alcoholic distfllates from asources other than grain. unmixed sexcept for the addition of harmless coloring or flavorfng. may be sold

 Another regulation, issued in January, 1916 holds that only whisky actually manufactured in Scotland may be sold as Scotch whisky.
 The food and drug administra- ton is just as vigilant in guarding against the misbranding of wines. A bulletin issued in July, 1917 rules that the terms Burgundy" cham pagne" and '.sauterne' are proper ly applied, without qualification, i only to products from France, and that terms Malaga and "Tokay'' without qualification, are properly applied only to products from Hun gary and Spain. However, 1t was added. the wines will not be deem- ed misbranded if the terms are preceded by the names of the states or countries in which they were ma a ctured-as for in- stance, California champagne

 The new rule is similar in ef- fsct.' he says, to the football rule preventing the ball-carrier from continuing after any part of his body other than hands or feet touches the ground. It sacrifices
