House judiciary com- mittee, was reported to the House yesterday with a request for its imme- diate passage. Prohibition leaders declared there were votes enough to put it through before the bureau of internal revenue could make effective proposed regula- tions by whith beer could be preserib- ed for the ailing iunder a ruling of former Attorney General Palmer, Although the measure as a whole would make ,the prohibition enforce- ment act more drastic, representatives of thé' drug and flavoring ‘extract trades won their fight against a sec- tion requiring the medicating or denaturing of alcohol. prior to its withdrawal from warehouses and dis- tilleries for manufacturing purposes. These and other trades declared such restrictions would work a hardship on legitimate industries, whose products Were not for-drinking. Redraft In' Intro Chairman Volstead, the committee, introduced nesday a redraft of his madified in some particulars. The s tion prohibiting importation and mun- ufacture of liquor until the stocks now held under government super- visien h been materially reduced, or exhausted, was retained. The redrafted measure, while plac- ing certain restrictions around the use of wines in medicines, did not include the original provision, which wouid have outlawed e as a medicine along with beer. It provides, however, for the limitation of alcohol with- drawals for medicines, and gives the commissioner authority, if he finds that a preparation is being used as a actually for drinking. Section Relating to Doctors. The section relating to doctors, hi was virtually rewritten, fol- w No ph shall prescribe nor( shall any person sell or furn any prescription any vinou ; liquor that contains more than 24 per cent of alcohol by volume, nor shall any one presoribe or sell or furnish on any prescription more than one-fourth of ‘one gallon of vinous or any liquor that contains more than one-half pint of alcohol- for usc by ady person within any period of ten days.’ “No physician shall be furnished with more than one hundred prescri tion blanks for use in any peri ninety days. nor shall any physician issue more than that number of pre- scriptions within any such period un- less on application, therefore he shall make it clearly apparent to the com- missioner that for some extraordi- nary rearon a larger number is neces- | sary, whereupon the necessary addl tional blanks may be furnished him. The bill also would extend the dr law to Hawaii and the Virgin Islands, | but not to the Philippines. Not Held Medicine. Chairman Volstead, in & report deal- ing with his bill to supplement the Volistead act, declared it presented | only such essential legislation as was deemed necessary in order to brin, about a fair and honest enforcemen of national prohibition. | The report set forth that the chief purpose of the bill was to prevent th use of beer and wine as medicine, which would be permitted under an! opinion by former Attorney General| effect of that o " it add- €d, “is (0 take from the commissioner of internal revenue control of the D"r»l mits and prescriptions and lodge that rol in those who would profit by their abuse. It is idle to argue mow. whether that fon is right or| ,wronz‘ as it is considered binding on the administration until it is set aside by the courts.” Declaring that evidence presented ingly that beer never had been recog- nized as a medicine, the report quoted the attorrey for the Anheuser-Busch | Company, Inc. to the effect that if beer was permitted as a medicine “it would be impossible to enforce the prohibition law.

T® the Editor of The Star: Commending your editorial on the Lincoln statue, I Gesire to say that, after a tedious search, I'have found the statue that was removed from its site in front of the courthous It 18 down near the river, in the rear of the old bureau of engraving, Dot stored at all, but lying outdoors, roughly crated. I do not know who chisled the head and face, but it was accurately done by Some one who studied Lincoln from life as I did, and was not done from photographs. It is a better likeness of Lincoln than anything In plaster, stone, marble or bronze that T have cver seen, and I have seen, about all that have ever been made. Some have been made that unquestionably are great works of art, but the best of them are not urate likenesses of him. This one to those who, like myself, knew Lincoln pleasing to look at because it ,is accurately modeled. and in its simple truth is fn keeping with the unassuming man we loved. SMAN THORP.
