CHARGE ANTI-BEER BILL WOULD NOT BE LEGAL Senators Knox and wlilhm- De- clare Its Provisioms Exceed Eighteenth Amendment. Charges that the pending anti-beer bill exceded the provisions of the con- stitutional amendment for prohibition ‘were made on the floor of the Senate yesterday by Senators Knox of Penn- sylvania, Willlams of Mississippl and others. Senator Wadsworth of New York de- &lared that Congress should not set itself up as superior in medical knowl- edge to reputable physicians of the country, in limiting the amount of alcohol ‘that might be prescribed for the sick. The senator recalled the influenza epidemic and said physicians then ap- pealed to friends for whiskey for patients. “This is fanaticism run riot.” Sen- ator Wadsworth declared. It's scarcely lonal or sane legislation. We can't g0 on in this way and retain respect for the law or the Constitution.” Senator Lodge, republican leader, characterized the legislation as an “unwarranted attack” on the medical profession and sald it would imply that every reputable doctor was “a potential boot-legge: “Such drastic legislation.” he con- tinued, “will not help enforoement, but will encourage violations.” Senator Willlams, democrat, Missis- sippl, sald the bill in dealing with prescription of liquor for medical pur- poses went beyond the elghtgenlh amendment. and Senator Knox, publican, " Pennsylvania, declared it would inject into the amendment con- structions never dreamed of. Senator Walsh, democrat, Mantana, defended the measure. The Supreme Court, he sald, plainly had held that regulation of liquor prescriptions was proper.

He viewed the picture from several angles and commented upon the characteristic pose of the distinguished American statesman. When he reached the painting of Gen. Pershing the President turned to the artist and engaged in an animated discussion with him concerning the manner in which the subject had been posed. The picture shows Gen. Persh- ing in a military overcoat, which is opened and partly thrown back. In his right hand are fleld glasses, which apparently are about to be raised. His cap is held in his left hand. The pose is one to suggest action. This struck the President instantly, who told the artist the impression of alertness it carried was remarkable, The Presi- dent also complimented him upon other features. , Is Escorted Through Gallery.
