PRIVATE JUG IS IN DANGER
Representative Pou's Warning
Against Extremes Leads to
Many Conferences
Washington, July 17. rVinserv-ntlvp
members of the prohibition fnrtlon In
thp House set out jrsterdaj to rurb
vi lint tlio.v described ns rndirnl attempts
to make the pending enforcement Mil so
drastic that it micbt cause n leuiWnn
of feeling throughout the rbntry on
the whole question of liquor drinkUis.
Warning was given by the ron.ervn
tlvc thnt if the radical element went i
too far and added other severe lctric I
tions they would bo certain to invite'
defeat in the Senate and posiM fii d
nil of their work thrown out by a nreM
dential veto. . .
The need of wise counsel was pointed
out by the conservative prohibitionists
in view of the published announcement

Word was spread during th" (lav thnt
other prohibitionists were preparing to
write into the bill a provision, stricken '
out by the committee, which would
prohibit, a man's "using" any littl-i
liquor he might happen to have around ,
thp house Pnder the bill now before
the House, it is extremely doubtful. n
member of the judiciary committee said.
whether n nerson could give a drink of
whisky to a friend at his own fireside
without running the risk of arrest
There were many intormai conter
enccs at which some
of the drastic
provisions of the hill, ns pointed out
hy Representative Pou. of North ( nr
oiinn and a pioneer prohibitionist, werp
called to check the radicals. )
The farmer's wife, who makes a
quart of blackberry wine at home fn
use in her own family, Mr Pou said.
could be prosecuted and sent to inil I
The farmer's home, where a little i
cider is made for the family, would be
a nuisance under the law. according ,
to Mr. Pou, who declaied that Hussia
in the days of the czar's highest power
never made a law that was so far
jenching. Members from some of the southern
clatM warn n,ietinnerl hv pnstern nnd
u-etftrn rpni pspntntives as to the volume
of liquor turned out bv mountain (lis-
tilleries and known as "moonshine."
.Mr. Pou told the House the other day
thnt In n dozen states, that have al
ready adopted prohibition, there are in
operation more iiucji. sm .lu"". tri
ever were saloons at any iiniu m uic
history of those states.
Indications are that consideration of
the measure will not be resumed today.

"I asked him if he thought Germanv

but he wns not allowed to spp the
kaiser."
Witness said that the Ford plant
was selling motois to the government
at thnt time, but Mr. Ford said it was
not for profit, and he did not consider
them munitions of war. The conversa
tion turned on the defeat of Russia, and
that poor people held many of the bonds
nnd would suffer.
According to Mr. Alexander, the fol
lowing remarks followed:
Mr. Ford "Let them go to work."
Mr Lucking "Perhaps many of
them arc sick."
Mr. Ford "Then let them get well."
On cross-examination by Alfred G.
Murphy, one of Ford's attorneys, wit-
ness recalled that there was some fur-
ther talk concerning the peace efforts I
of the pope and of Lord Lansdovvne.
On redirect examination it devel
oped that Mr. Alexander handled the
famous Ford advertisement headed I
"Concerning preparedness."

T Opinions Kr-aclieil
In bis opinion, Judge Dickinson said
Wi- have withheld the foregoing
opinion until we received copies of nil
nigs in other districts which we were
advised were in (oursp of transmission
to us We now havo two of them
one sustaining the demurrer and the
other overruling it.
"Wi find ourselves in accordance
nith the ruling of Judge Thomson, of
tlic Wcstorn District Court of I'enn
.vIvnniH The only difference is that
he saw tit to overrule now, and we cln
not et nn reason lot niaKing n lormai
ruling at this time.
' All that is leallv involved is a
regulation of the burden of proof and
this. :is we hnve said, i ptoperly a
tnil ruling.
.Imlgc Dickinson scores the lo, ,il
brewing company for loming into conit
un the demurrer, and declares that the
teal situation is that tin- defendant
niiti- ti Iwt iultn.njl
nuiui ij " n"i-'"i
"Put in its best light." he opiiuil.
"the attitude is this
"Congress has forbidden the maim-
i fj'tiiie of 'beer
e think Congress
had in mind that 'beer' is intotic;
What wo want to know is, if we
intotieating
make
beverage -with so low an alcoholic
content a not to be intoxicating, will
thi, b( vjllation ,,f the law?
"There is nn call upon the court to
share the responsibility with a man
who chooses to take the risk of violat
ing the law- bv doing what ma. be
found to be a violation. He must
take the whole responsibility for so
doing If he needs advise let him go to
his lnwjer for it."
"Whenever, as here, a controversy
has aiiscn oxer the meaning of words
or phrases, it is dangerous to employ
n paraphrase in which to present the
dispute bpcniisp the paraphrase may bi
as open to opposing constructions as
the original phrase We will, there
foie. prevent the (ontroversy by the
quotation of the verv words, the use
of which by Congress has proved it.
"Congress, bv act of November "1.
101R. prohibited 'the use of cereals in
the manufacture of bepr. etc
or other I
intoxicating liquor, etc '
((ue.stloii of Cereals
"Informations have been filed in
villi, h it is charged that the defendant
did use cereals in the manufacture of
'beer.' contrary to the form of this act
of Corgrcss.
"It will bo noted that the charge oon-
1 tnius no averment tnat the Deer thus
! made was intoxicating. The omission
I was intentional nnd the averment nd
luscdly not made. This was because
I the meaning of the nit of Congress is
nssetteil to bp that the manufacture of
b,,,r forbidden as such, as well a-
other beverages, if the latter nre mtox-
i kating.
Demurrers have been interposed to
the information because the defendant
construes the act of Congress to mean
I that neither the manufacture of beer.
'nor of anv other beverage, is forbidden
'.-"- it is intoxicating, and, as the
, beer made bv the defendant . not
'averred to be intoxicating, the infonna-
. . , ,
tlon noes not cnarge any oueus,- usaiun
the law to have been lominitted.
"It will be observed that nn answer
to the question befoie us ns thus pre-
SPnted can be given without giving nj
!,.ntriiction of the act of Congress The I
jan f the case would thus be declared
,n ndvnnee of trial. It is indeed frankly
, a,OWP(j t,Bt the. securing of this
ctrnntl ,n is the rPal purpose of the
1 f.lndee Thomnson Is meant) this court
would willingly render all the aid within
its power to compel Its observance and
to save the people from the scandal of
being obliged to witness attempts being
made to experiment with the criminal
law in the effort to find out how far its
violators could go before Inviting pun
ishment.
People Should Be Saved
"The people should nlso be saved, if
possible, from the scandal of witness
ing violations of law by a large num
ber of persons iought to be justified by
the plea that there Is a doubt of the
criminality of what Is being done,
whether the doubt is real or a mere pre
tense. "The defense suggested on which the
demurrers are'based is really this :
"The defendant is charged with mak
ing beer, the manufacture of which
Congress has forbidden. The forbidden
beer has a certain range of alcoholic
content which makes It intoxicating and
Congress has called It Intoxicating. The
beverage which the defendant hos made
has a less alcoholic content and is not
intoxicating. Presented in this way
the question 1;, deafly, a trial Question.

n follower of James A. Carey, former
lender of the "Bloody Fifth." Later
Deutsch became Ynre leader in the
ward and Carey's 'opponent.
Lieutenant Hennctt, acting under
Deutsch, was ( barged with having
thrown the power of the police in the
Fifth ward to the Vnrcs during the
primnry election campaign in Septem
