ATTORNEY GENERAL
ISSUES RULING
With the Approach of the Midniight
Hour Saioons All Over the Nation
Blazed for lroballv the Last Time.
Natioi ide 1rohmuibion Goes into
Elieet January 1920.
Wasington, June 30.-As wartime
prolibition took effect tonight the (10
paritmiient of Just ice anniiouinced that
its agents throughout the country
woll Id not attempit tomorrow to stop
the sale of two and three-quarters per
cent beer.
This leveith ho ur development, a
flat reversal of an earlier ruling today
by the department, was due to 'le un
certainty as to how the federal (is
triet court of New York might rule on
a penidiing claim by brewers that beer
containing that much alcohol was not
intoxicating. But while this uncer
tainty existod as to beer or lighter
alcoholic percentage than that sold
geierally herctofore, full warning was
given that with respect to whiskey
and all beverages as to whose initoxi
eating powers there was no doubt, ev
ery governmental agency would be
set to work in a determ1ie( effort to
lrevent their manufacture and sale.
low long tie sale of two and three
qtrarters per ceunt beer might continue
would depiend ordinarily upIIon the
speed of tle courts, but congress
meanwhile will step to the front in
an effort to complet-r the effectiVeness
of the war!time law.
lExactly what t hey have refused
lieretofore to do, proh ibition mbiliile'rsi
of the hous now will attempt --pass
age of a stiaight, clear-cut bill, for
enforcement of war-time prohibi t ion.
Whenle word spread tonight that Ile
attorney general, by his ruling, had
Ilermitted beer saloons and breweries
to remain in oiperation, members of
the judiiary Committee coulted ioses
to fin(d a sufileient iium ber ready to
go to the front to demand separation
of tle enforcement measure so as to
get thi rough at eice - bill that would

aleoliol.
Congressional leaders, it was sa(l,
retused to abandiiion platns for a recess
begining plrobably tomorrow '1in or
(her to imt '. hill through as an eier
geney ieaiure. and the whole question
of proliibition will be held iul) until

were indientions tonuight that a hard

seintative I1gow. ID)emo crat, of .lkssou ri,
which wotild permit the presileti to
set aside tie wa r-time act. iisotar as
it relat s to ii ght wines andt beeris.
While thle attorney general's staff
wvas wrestIling withi thle quiestIons of
Intoxlcating andI non-intoxIcatIng beer
lie judi (1 ary commn it t senit to thie
house its report in which the bold as
sert ion was maide that anything over
onie-half of one per cent alcohol was
IntoxicatIng wvithin the purviewv of the
general law, and that congress, and
niot the court, should fix (lie alcoholic
percentage of all beverages, sale of
whiech is restrictedl by prohIbitIon
Ilut I.while thle miilder brew of beer,
