5 d =12 BEERBILLPASSES SENKTE, 91021 Willis-Campbell Measure Is Sent to Conférence Between Two Houses. By a vote of 39 to 20 the Senate late vesterday passed the Willis- Campbell beer bill, and sent it to con- ference between the two houses. A motion® to recommit the bill was lost, 38 to 23. The ban against the prescribing of beer by physicians and limitations of prescriptions of wine and whisky contained in tre bill passed by the House were virtually unchanged by the Senate, but a few important amendments were added. These in- cluded a provision to restrict opera- tions of prohibition enforcement of- ficers by prohibiting searches, or any attempts at searching, of private property or premises without search warrants. A violation of this clause would be a misdemeanor subject to fine of $1,000 and one year's imprison- ment. Penalties of five years' im- prisonment and $1,000 fines were pro- vided for persons attempting searches while posing as prohibition agents. The search and seizure amendment was offered by Senator Stanley, demo- crat, Kentucky, as a substitute for an amendment by Senator Reed, demo- crat, Missouri, proposing more dras- S tic penalties. It was adopted without a roll call Opponents of Fourteen republican crats voted against pass Bill. d six demo- Con- tors Ball, ware: Brandegee, necticut: Cameron, Arizona: Johnson, California; La Follette.

The six democratic opponents were Senators Broussard, Louisiana; Gerry, Rhode Island: King, U Pomerene, Ohio: Ransdell, Louisiana, and Stanley, Kentucky. Senator Reed was paired against the bill. The bill limits wine prescriptions of spiritous beverages to one-hal pint by alcoholic content to an indi- vidual in ten_days. No change was made in the House clause fixing 100 prescriptions as the maximum for a cian in ninety days. except by 1 order of the prohibition com- missioner. House Bill Modified. The drive of the opposition forces against the bill also resulted in the adoption of several minor amend- ments modifying the House bill. One would permit importation of wines for sacramental purposes when the prohibition officers should determine | *that the domestic output of such wines was insufficient to meet home demanas. g ‘Another would bar the prohibition office from revoking or changes in formulas of manufactur- ers making products containing al cohol unless it should be determine that such manufactures were bein used as intoxicating beverages in in. creased volume in communities. SEEKS INVESTIGATION. Senator Smith of South Carolina Wants Tobacco Inquiry. Complete investigation of the tobac- co situation by the Federal Trade Commission, both as to domestic and forcign trade, was proposed in a resolution introduced today by Sena- tor Smith, democrat. South Carolina, with the approval of the Senat cultural committee. The inquiry, Sena- tor Smith said, was proposed because of the tobacco market situation. Buyers are refusing to take por- tions of the mew crop, he sai though manufactured tobacco in some instances is at its high mark in prices. The investigation would deal both with the growing. marketing and manufacturing conditions. “Pledged age of the bill.

NEW YORK, August 9.—A move- ment is afoot to preserve the largest stage coach in the coun- try, fifty years ago, the pride of this section. The giant coach, capable of ac- commodating 120 persons, is de- caying in Brooklyn. Cost of re- construction has been estimated at $5.000. ! “When trolley cars were only a ! dream Henry Hamilton, a pros- perous livery man, was operating a string of coaches in the Willlams- burg section. Chowder parties then were popular and clubs com- plained that they couldn't get a coach big enough. So the vehicle was built. It was drawn by twenty horses and so long was the equipage that when a ferry was reached. eighteen of the horses were un- hitched and walted for the craft to make a second trip. Besides the driver, there was & man to operate a brake on hills. Inside and out it was decorated with oil paintings. In 1876 the coach was exhibited at the Centennial exposition. — e . U. S.
