What He Seeks, “What we are after,” hie said, “is| an interpretation of section 29 of the | Volstead act, as it applies to wine and cider, It is possible the court| may rule that the lass than one-halt of one per cent regulation in the Volstead act applies to homemade | wine and clder, In that case I would expect to be found guilty and | the case would be carried on appeal | to a higher court.

Mr. Hill has summoned Prohibi-| tlon Commissioner Roy A. Haynes and James E.
