Department of Justice Issues In
structions to Abide by
N. Y. Ruling
MAY BRING PROSECUTIONS
IF DECISION IS REVERSED
Attorney General Palmer Will
Issue Statement on Enforce
ment of Law
CONGRESS SOON TO STEP IN
Bills Limiting Alcohol to '2 f
1 Per Cent Favorably Re
ported to House
By the Associated Press
Washington, June 30. The Depart
ment of Justice is understood to have
decided that sale of light wines anil
beer shall not be interfered with under
the war-time prohibition law.
Attorney General Palmer will issue
a statement today on the department's
attitude on the enforcement of the law,
which becomes effective at midnight.
Instructions went forwnrd today to
district attorneys in wet territory that
.the department would nbidc by the re
cent decision in the test case brought In
New Tork and would not prosecute
dealers selling beverages containing not
more than 2 per cent of alcohol.
In permitting saloons to rcmnin open
for the sale of 2 per cent beverages i
the Department of Justice is understood
not to forgo the privilege of prosecu
tion later, if its contention that 2
per cent beer Is intoxicating is upheld.
In short, the question merely is held
in abeyance until a finnl decision is
reached in the test cases. The Supreme
Court cannot pass on tho question be
fore October.
Dry Laws Deforo House
Laws for enforcement of both war
time and constitutional prohibition were
favorably reported to the House late
today by the judiciary committee. They
define as "intoxicating" any beverage
containing more than one-half of one
per cent of alcohol.
Consideration of the measure is not
to begin until after the Independence
uay holidays, but prohibition leaders
expect them to go through without un
usual delay and they say their enactment
will .serve to make illegal the sale of light
wines' and 2 per cent beer, at least,
until the President declares demobiliza
tion completed.
It was said at the Department of Jus
tice thdt open violation of the law,
threatened in New York, and other
HtieS, would be promptly dealt with by
federal agents.
Whether the department's present
force will be able to break up secret
traffic remains to be seen, but in this
connection officials pointed out that the
increased appropriation asked of Con
gress for general law enforcement would
permit of a considerable enlargement of
the department's force.
A bill "to keep the country from go
ing on a whisky drinking basis" in
the period from the demobilization of the
army until the effective date of con
stitutional prohibition, was introduced
today by Bcpresentatlve Randall, pro
hibitionist, California. It would pre
vent the shipping In and ont ot the
country and la Interstate commerce
-'all distilled, malt, vinous and other
Intoxicating liquors," and would spe
cifically prohibit removal from bond of
dlstill.ed spirits for beverage purposes.
Can't Transport Liquor
In the opinion of Department of Jus
tlce officials and many members of Con
gress wartime prohibition will have no
effect on the Heed amendment prohibit
ing the transportation of intoxicants
Into territory where Its manufacture
and sale is forbidden by local laws.
Information has reached the depart
ment that many persons living In "dry"
territory have stored quantities of
liquor In "wet" cities with a view to
transporting it after today, but enforce
ment of the Reed amendment will In no
wise be relaxed.
Array officers believe It will be pos
sible for President Wilson to declare
that th demobilization of the army. Is
complete by the middle of August, but

Alleged Leader in May-Day
Riots Admits Being Sent There
by Philadelphia Branch
POLICE CHIEF TESTIFIES
Organization of n Soviet branch at
Chester under the guidance of the Soviet
House, nt Eighth street and Fnirmount
avenue, this city, was planned by the
"Reds," according to testimony today
by Chief of Police Davenport, of Ches
ter, todny, at the trial of three alleged
"Reds" at Media.
The trio, Andrew Green, Wnsli
Kaminski and Michael Knlisicwicz. arc
accused of fomenting riots in Chester
on May Day. They were arrested in n
raid on n radical meeting in unestcr
April 27.
Chief Davenport, first witness for the
state, said that Green told him he had

and being directed from there to Chcs-
ter to organize n branch. Green, he ,
said, claimed responsibility for the acts
of the radicals, while Kaminski was
treasurer.
Judge Warns Attorney
T. Lnsker Greenhorn, of Philadelphia,
attorney for Green and Kaminski
ob
jected so strenuously to questions put
to Green ns to whom lie had visited
while In Philadelphia that Judge John-, spoke for all the liquor dealers in Pcnn- ' this afternoon. The disturbance start
son warned him he would be excluded sylvania, ns well ns Philadelphia. Thel.i : .,i
from the trial
"If you don't observe th"e suggestions
of the court you will be excluded from
this trial and all other cases In this
court," said Judge Johnson! "You have
been very disorderly with your ques
tions." Chief Davenport also testified that
one of the speakers at the meeting which
he rnided had encournged the audience
to "get what they could by theft and
stealth," whereat the speaker was ap
plauded. A bag of coins collected nt
the meeting by n woman was to help
provide a fund for the May Day demon
stration, Davenport said Green told
him. Both Green and Knlisiewicz de
nied knowing the woman, he said, but
had seen Ijer in the Soviet House.
Spectators were cleared from the
courtroom when the trial opened. John
II. Hannum, district nttorney, said the
case was the "most important ever
called for decision in Delaware county."
Charge Graver Than Homicide
"These men are facing a graver charge
thnn homicide," he said. "They are
facing conviction for nttacking the very
foundation of the government under
whose protection they are living."
Greenberg objected to the presence of
some radical literature to be used as
evidence being placed where the jury
men might see It. After n wordy do-
bate Judge Johnson upheld Prosecutor
Hannum s contention that the jurymen
could not see what the pamphlets con
tained. The jurymen selected were Thomas
N. Jsewlin, foreman; James Middle-
ton, Joseph Vernon, David Bowker,

here last night. Two of the American
soldiers are expected to die.
The casualties occurred ns n result of
the exehnnge of shots between Ameri

The trouble began, according to avail

DRY NOT 'WET' WEATHER
When May Be Taken to Mean That
Prohibition Affects Climate
Today started out to be one of the
coldest June days in seventeen jenrs,
changed its mind and decided to become
one of the dryest. ,, . ,
"I don't mean that ns a joke, said
the weatherman. "This morning nt ."
nVlock the temperature was fiO. That
'was equaled in 1002. But the tempera -I
titrc rose. At 2 o'clock It was 72. And
it may get warmer.
"However, the funny part nbout to
day is this: We rarely take the re
sponsibility of predicting dry weather
for more than thirty-six hours ahead of
time. Today indications are such that
we feel we can Bafely predict dry weath
er for at least two days."
The weatherman says today's temper
atures approximated the average maxi
mum and minimum of heat for June
davs in the latter portion of the month.
The weather will warm up before the
week is over. Wyoming, Montnna, Da
kotas were touching the 100-degree
marks yesterday, nnd the heat Is due to
come East.
