Mr. Stone refused to comment on re- ports from Memphis, Tenn., that the gen- eral chairman of the engineers’ brother- hood had received advices from him that it was not necessary for them to at- tend the Chicago conferenoce until he Kknew which chairman made the alleged statement and corroborated the report. President Stone also stated that it was his understanding that the vice chair- men as well as general chairmen have been summoned ot appear at the Chicago conference with the railroad labor board Wednesday. Asked what effect this ac- tion might have on the direction of the strike in case these chairmen are held in Chicago for some time, Mr. Stone said: “It is unnecessary to leave any official in charge. The clerical force can take care of the work.” W. G, Lee, president of the Brother- hood of Railroad Trainmen, in response 10 telegrams from his general chairmen asking for instructions regarding their appearance in Chicago Wednesday, no- tified them to obey the labor board’s cita- tion, adding that the “board’s notice not understood by me as changing or can- celling instructions issued or permission giden prior to Oct. 21, date of board’s order.” Permission fo leave the service was given the trainmen by Mr. Lee prior to the date of the citation in which it was ordered to maintain the status quo. Chairmen of the conductors, firemen and engineers on the International and Great Northern railroad today were noti- fied by their respective chiefs to immedi- ately authorize their men to leave the service in case attempt is made by the railroad to use them to fill places vacated by the trainmen who left the service last Saturday. It was indicated such an at- tempt had been reported and the instrue- tions issued were in answer to the gen- eral chairmen’s request for guidance. NEWS OF RAILROAD INTEREST SENT OUT FROM CHICAGO Chicago, Oct. 24.—(By the A. P.)— The United States Railroad Labor board does not intend to present any plan for !settlement of the railroad strike situation when the 1,600 union and carrier chiefs convene with it Wednesday in response to its citation, and any such proposal must emanate from the labor leaders or the railroad heads, board members declar- ed tonight. The board members explained that the hearing technically is to determine if the transportation act has been violated and that they had decided at informal meet- ings that it was their duty to see that provisions of the railway law were made effective, although they would take any steps which might tend toward promoting a clearing up of the crisis. At_the same . time the board formally annotinced that “theye was great hope for settling the strike./ All of the 1,400 Continued on Page Three Column Five ARMED BANDITS GET $1,000,000 IN MAIL ROBBERY IN NEW YORK Yor!

Withheld since’ March 3 last, when former Attorney General Palmer held the use of beer as a medicine to be legal un- der the prohibition laws, the issuance of the beer regulations came as a complete surprise to leaders of the dry forces, who declared there had been an understanding with the treasury that the new rules should not be promulgated until the sen- ate had acted upon the pending anti-beer bill. Issuance of the regulations will cause redoubled efforts to effect the passage of the anti-beer measures, senate leaders declared while Wayne B. Wheeler, gen- eral counsel for ‘the anti-saloon league, described the treasury’s action as “less defensible than at any other fime.” Secretary Mellon, in announcing the is- suance of the beer rules, declared that “the legal rights of the parties concerned being plain, the department is unable longer to delay the issuance of these reg- ulations.” The new rules cover comprehensively the use of beer, wines and spirituous li- quors as medicines. The amount of beer a physician may prescribe at one time for the use of the same person is limited to 2 1-2 gallons the equivalent of a case, but no arbitrary limit is placed upon the number of prescriptions a physician may write or the same person may obtain within a given period. Two quarfs of wine was the limit put upon a single prescription for that bev- erage, but otherwise the regulatiogs are same as for beer. Spirituous liquors are limited to one pint within any ten day period and alco- hol for external use was limited to a pint to the same person at one time. Prescriptions for these medicines may be filled only by a licensed pharmacist who is also a retail druggist, or a licensed pharmacist in the employ of a retail druggist. Prescriptions are not refillable and the regulations declare that a pharmacist, should refese to fill any prescription for liquor if he has any reason to believe that physicians are prescvribing for other than medical ‘uses or that a patient is securing through one or more physicians quantities of intoxicating liquor in excess of the amount necessary for medicinal purposes.” In connection with the issuance prescriptions the regulations said: “No prescription may be issued for a greater quantity of intoxicating liquor than is necessary for use as a medicine by a person for whom prescribed in ,the treatment of an ailment from which such patient is known by the physician to be suffering.” Besides beer the_iegulations permit the use for medicinal. purposes of other intoxicating malt liquors such as porter, malt extracts and similar fermented malt liquors containing one-half of one per cent. or more of alcohol by calume. Manufacture of these medical prepara- tions is confined to duly qualified brewers on brewery premises and may be sold by them only in bottles and closed cases. The right to prescribe distilled spirits, wines, and ma!. liquors for medical pur- poses is confined by the regulations to such physicians as have obtained permits to prescribe intoxicating liquor. Such a physician, the regulations state, may pre- scribe “for a person upon whom he is in attendance, if after physical examination of such person or if physical examina- tion is impracticable, upon the best in- formation obtainable, the physician be- lieves that the internal or external use of such liguor as a medicine by such person is necessary and will afford re- lief to him from some known ailment.” The new regulations, according to Sec- retary Mellon are in accordance with the former Attorney General Palmer inter- pretation of the law. Their issuance was delayer, he declared, because it seemed probable that legislation would render them of no advantage to those interested and there was no urgent demand for their issuance. “However,” he saild, “for some time past, it has been strongly urged by those interested that this department had no right longer to withhold tne regulations, and that in so doing the department is denying to those interested their clear legal right and thereby imposing serious foss upon them.” \ Medical beer can be sold in only a few states, Mr. Wheeler declared in a form- al statementy and would then be used “largely by bootleggers.” “Eevery brewer who has violated the law within a year is disqualified,” he £aid, “and we will fight every application on this ground as they have practically all violated the law.” Senator Sterling, in charge of the anti- of beer measure in the senate, declared the | bill would be taken up immediately aft- er disposal of the pending tax bill and timate passage.” MILE AND MAILS ARE TO BE GIVEN PREFERENCE Boston, Oct. 24—Milk and the mails Wwill be gives preference on the Boston & Maine rancoad in the event of a gen- eral railroad strike, Wilfred C.

Budapest, Oct. 24.—(By The A. P.)— army of former Emperor Charles, which was marching on Budapest for the Testoration of the ex-monarch, was de- feated with heavy losses by Hungarian Bovernment forces at Tata-Tovaros, 35 miles west of Budapest this morning. The Carlist forces have falien back to Komorn, 15 miles northwest of Ta- ta-Tovaros. The pursuit by the gov- ernment troops is continuing. The Carlist army, the reports state, finding itself unable to make further progress, sought to retreat and finally broke through the lines on the rearward side of the attacking circle, withdraw- ing to Komorn with the constitutional- ists following up the retreat. Earlier in the day the Carlists had progressed as far as Bicske between Ta- ta-Tovaras and Budapest and about 20 miles west of the Hungarian capital. It was here the rovalist army was encir- cled and its capture appeared imminent until the troops were able to break the Carli The constitutionalist forc- esg number about 20,0400 against approxi- mately 10,000 followers of the former monarch. Admiral Horthyv, the Hungari- an regent, said he was determined to capture Charles and deliver him to the British military commission, who would find a suitable “Isle of St. Helena” for him. The former emperor, before the present operations Tegan, sent General Heged- us to ask for a truce. Admiral Horthy { agreed to call a truce upon the condition that the royvalist troops be disarmed, that Major Oestenburg, leader of the troop be arrested and that Stephen Rakovsky and Count Andrassey, leaders of Charles’ provisional cabinet, be interned. Gener- al Hegedus, however, left without ac- cepting these conditions, whereupon Ad- miral Horthy's forces were ordered to attack. CHARLES CAPUTURED AND CONFINED IN CASTLE Budapest, Oct. 24 (by the A. P)— Ex-Emperor Charles and Ex-Empress Zita were captured today near Komorn and are now confined in the castle at Tata Tovaros guarded by two compan- ies of government troops. Colonel Oes- tenburg’s troops covering the retreat of the former rulers, were forced to sur- render, and are prisoners. The second attempt of Charles to re- establish himself on the throne of Hun- gary was no more of a success than the frrst. There is not likely to be a third attempt, for Charles now awaits the pleasure of the allied powers as to his fate. The enisode moved so rapidly .that the full detrils have nc* yet reached the cap- ital. As far as i known at the pres- ent time Charles managed to push a train load of troops to Budaor, a short distance from Bupapest. At first he held his own against the forces of Regent Horthy but when the Horthy troops were reinforced Charles was compelled to beat a retreat at five o'clock Sunday after- noon, closely followed by the Horthy forces to Herceghalom. The retreat gained speed when it was learned that Colonel He: was march- ing to take the Carlists in the rear, and by dawn of Monday the army of Charles had melted away so fast that the Hor- thy forces lost oll touch with them. When he realized that the fortunes of war were going against him, Charles sent plenipotentiaries to Buflapest in an endeavor to obtain terms. His efforts were without avail. - The troops of Charles, realizing that they had been catdght. between two fires—the govern- ment troons in front and the forces of Colonel Hejjas and Baron Pronay be- hind—fell into panic, and Charles soon was left with two solitary companies of men who were obliged to surrender. Charles and Zita were captured near Komorn. Zita pleaded pitiously to be allowed to go back to her children, but her plea was politely, though firmly re- fused. The former royal couple were taken to the mansion of Count Esther- hazy at Tata Tovaros, where they are being carefully guarded until the powers decide what is to be done with them. o s e BRITISH UNIONISTS WoULD CENSURE GOVERNMENT e London, Oct, 24—(By The A.
