Authority of Congress to fix one- half of one per cent. as the maximum alcoholic content of bevrages \s clear, Mr. Wheeler declared, in answering recent statements of Samuel Unter- myer, counsel for brewers, “To allow the sale of 2% per cent. beer,” said Mr, Wheeler, “would keep alive the liquor trade and defeat the purposes of National Prohibition, Friends of Prohibition do not want a code unless it defines intoxicating MWauor.” Thirty-three Prohibition States and thirteen local option States, Mr, Wheeler said, have laws limiting al- cohol in beverages, He challenged Mr. Untermyer to produce any court decisions denying Congress or State Legislatures the right to make def- initions. Mr. Wheeler told the committee Prohibition advocates were not asking that possession of liquors bought be- fore July 1 for personal use be pro- hibited. He added, however, that they were suggesting amendments to the pending legislation to limit the amount of liquors which may be stored in private residences. Regarding the amendment he urged to make mere possession of intoxi- cants unlawful the witness said: “This is the most effective weapon of prohibition enforcement.” Senator Sterling suggest * that the pill be extended so as to penalize purchase as well as sale of intoxt- cating beverages. Senator Walsh, Montana, and other committee members opposed exten- sion of the bill's search warrant pro- visions and also insisted that the provisions penalizing searchers with malice and without probable cause should remain, The House Judiciary Committee, Mr, Wheeler said, had agreed upon an amendment governing the sale of fla- voring extracts, which is satisfactory to all interests, It permits witolesale |distribution of these extracts, some of which contain 40 to 60 per cent of alcohol, but requires retailers to dilute beverages to less than one-haif of one per cent, be added, | Exchange have NIXON APPROVES 2-GENT TRANSFERS ON STH AVE.

The number of ships tied up was increased, the congestion of freight at the plers was greater than ever, there was increased danger of loss of perishable goods through the idle- ness of refrigeration plants on ships, and riots at midnight caused the po- lice to take extra precautions to-day.
