CK, VI VOLUME XXXIV. LAIURENS9 SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1919. JMiR5 WAR TIM[ PROHIBITION GO[8 INTO EFFECT 2 3-4 Per Cent Beer Is Al. lowed 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 AtEp te sa'' of all beer contalni ng more than one-half or nnt per cent 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 next N\ondav, at the earliest. There were indientions tonuight that a hard fight wouhl he made In behalf of an amendidment to be offered by lHepre seintative I1gow.

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, like< somie niotale was accoided un usual h onor by thle joyful thlrong, a lona, thy finger miovedl across thle imap on Ight at in ia1ght and~ blotted out of e xis tenuce a imani's legal right to hbuy or sell liquor.
