Ucvcnuc stamps for beer containing more thnn one-hnlf of I per cent nl- l cohol brewed since December 1. 1018. arc being sold to brewers here following l leceipt of Instructions from Washington by Kphrnlm I.ederer. collector of inter- ' nnl revenue of this dlstiict. Heretofore I the department has refused the neces- i snry stamps for this beer. The decision of the Bevenue Depart- 1 ment to sell the stamps wns contained I in the following announcement by Col lector I.ederer: "The Internal Bevenue Office has I been notified by Commissioner of In ternnl Bevenue Daniel C. Boper. dlrect- I ilig that stamps be Jssued to lieuersi for the purpose of tnx-pning beer with- I drawn for sale, when the same wasvj manufactured subsequent to December l, litis, and contains one-half per cent or more of nlcohol by vnluni". It I is not intended to hold that the manu facture and sale of such beer is law - fill, but because tax liability exists in any event the sale and issuance of stnmps and the collection of the tax is authorized." The new ruling, it is believed, will be followed immediately by a test suit by the government to define intoxicating beverages. A conference on the subject wns held yesterday afternoon in the of fice of Collector Lederer. Besides Mr. I.ederer, the conference wns attended by Robert Sterrett, assistant United States district attorney, nnd by ,T. W. Kelly, a special agent o the Bevenue Depart ment. It wns reported that it was de cided at the conference to recommend for prosecution a brewer in an adjoin ing county, who is charged with soiling the' high-power been contrary to the regulations of the Internal Bevenue De partment. ICvidencc gathered by Mr. Kelly was presented nnd will be forwarded to Washington at once, so that a judicial interpretation of an intoxicant may be had. The brewers contend that beer con taining up to 2 per cent nlcohol is not intoxicating, whereas the President's proclamation provided thnt beer only of the strength of one-hnlf of 1 per cent nlcohol could be brewed and sold after December 1, 1018. Kliliu Root submit ted nn opinion holding the presidential order was illegal. ntmiirm I MRTnKUitt' ' xHr sajsje &n,-)mn".M"iimmimimmBmmim.j wmAraw, 6j& & T Marriage to Miss Strawbridge Best Experience 'Over There,' Says Captain Cooper BRIDE WAS NURSE'S AIDE Metal Badge Saves Life A metal badge probably (.lived the life of, an inspector In the Bureau of Health yesterday, when an irate mint made n lunge at him witlt- n knife.
