Spirits in Bond From )yar Time Lid, 1 COMMONS CHEERS NEWS Government \Retains Control of Prices Dealers Are Be- -' slewed With Orders. London, Nov. 19. One hundred and .fifteen million' gallons of whiskey, es a quantity of other spirits In bond In Great Britain, were released from ..wartime restrictions anil may bo distributed to nil corner, who can per-flun- the dealers to seli. t The announcement of the removal of dbo, restrictions, which was made with- out warning In the .House of Commons 'hy the Food Controller, came as a sur- prise to the members, who greeted It with loud cheers. The liquor trade was equally surprised and wna besieged by the well to do umong the public as soon as tho unexpected news spread. Many orders of from fifty to a hundred dozoriB jvere placed immediately. In addition to numerous commissions for smaller qual- ifies. Although it Is figured that enough spirits have been, thus freed to aupply every man, woman and child In the cou- nty with thirty-si- x bottlea each, It Is doubtful If the public will find it easy a: Jiresent to Increase consumption to a sreat extent. The Government ma ntaliw Control 01 ino maximum 'whUitey Is ten shlJUngB and bK pence a bottle, and It Is not believed the deai-'er- s will tell much below that tlfiure, as Hie existing' high duty will remain ' Moreover, restrictions on distillation during the war and the necessity of ma- turing stocks may lead tho dealers to Hold large quantities. On the other Jiand. It will be possible now to sell all the American whiskey which has reached hd Is stilt reaching England,- though blearanco from the customs may be slow. \ So far as whiskey Is concerned, a inember of a well known firm of rs said that although manufacture Tas been resumed, the quantity In .bond 'Vaa slightly lower now than In the early nart of the year. Ho estimated the Mocks to be sufficient with nonpal con- sumption to, last two years. If removals from bond at this rate were to- be per- mitted, and tho Immature spirits act remain ill force, there would come a .Temporary period about two years hence 'when there-woul- 1 no whiskey avail-\aM-e at all. Hum and sin rather than whiskey, however, are likely to be tne 'Spirits chiefly available In the near ' ' Jture.

There is no inhibition of the- - withdrawal of whiskey or other spirit, from warehouses of tho country for export. A general survey of regulations on tho subject was mado public by tho Treasury Department to- day to stop a flood of Inquiries coming from every quarter of the land. Those, ninin.iiu nt,i.Arn,ii .nm holders of ! spirits who see no way of realizing be tween tho eiiQ ot war and the coming of Constitutional pro- hibition. The Treasury, statement fol- lows: \All the statutes and regulations re- lating to the exportation of distilled spirits aro still in force. There is no .,.i.. i tho exDortatlon or .plstllled spirits for beverage purposes or for purpose\ \ prohibition amendment to the Consti- tution becomes effective. The act of November 21, 1918, specifically permits the withdrawal of spirits for beverage purposes for export during tho period of war-tim- e prohibition. Spirits may be withdrawn free of tax from bonded warehouses for export in original pack- ages or to bo bottled In bond for export. \There is no statuto prohibiting the exportation of distilled spirits prior to the date tho prohibition amend- ment to the Constitution becomes ef- fective. When tax paid distilled pplrits nre exported In the distillers' original packages containing not less than twenty gallons each, the exporter may receive a drawback' of 90 cents a proof gallon and no more, claim for which must bo made to the Collector of Customs at the port of exportation. Drawback of tax on spirits bottled In bond or In packages other than the distiller's orig- inal packages cannot be allowed under the law. A distiller may bottle spirits in bond for exports and store such spir- its tn a warehouse on tho distillery premises In advance of orders for such spirits.

Wabhinciton. Nov. 19. The Supremo Court will hear arguments on the constitutionality of the war time prohibition act. Involved In thrco ap- peals from Federal Court ruling. Ono from Kentucky doclared the act Invalid and two from New York upheld It, Owing to the short time elapsing be- fore constitutional prohibition becomes effective an early opinion by the court Is generally anticipated. The Govern- ment asked that the hearing be ad- vanced. . Ordinarily the cases would not have been reached for at least a year. , The Kentucky case was appealed by the Government after Federal Judge Evans had restrained Internal revenue officials from Interfering with the rc- - from bond by the Kentucky Dis tilleries and Warehouse Company or about \0 gallons of whiskey val- ued at approximately t75.00n,0n. Judge W3vans held that tho act violated the Fifth Amendment to the Federal Con- stitution, prohibiting confiscation of pri- vate property without Just compensation. One New York case resulted from de- nial by. the Federal District Court of an Injunction to .Bryfoos, Blum & Co. to enabln that concern to remove whiskey from bond. The other was appealed by Jacob Ruppert, a New York brewer, af- ter the lower court's refusal to restrain Intrnal revenue officials from Interfer- ing with his manufacture of beer con- taining more than one-ha- lf of 1 per cent alcohol. The brief of the Kentucky parties, filed argued the Federal Govern- ment had no authority except under Its war power to atop the sale of Intoxicat- ing liquors within u State, and also that tho act violated the Fifth Amendment. Congress Intended, it said, that the net should remain . operative only pending complete demobilization of the army, whlchi President Wilson and others had declared to be accomplished. A general denial of these arguments was mado In the Government brief, which contended that a state of war would continue to exist until ratifica- tion of the peace treaty. Prohibition enforcement machinery under John F. Kramer, Prohibition Com- missioner, took tangible form with the announcement that eleven Fed- eral prohibition directors had been named and would take up their duties immediately. The directors who were appointed by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Roper Include: Texas Clifford G. Beckham, Fort Worth. Indiana Charles J. Orblson, Indian- apolis. South Dakota Isaac Pearson, Pierre. Kansas Dudley Dollttle, Strong City. Wisconsin Thomas A. Delaney, Greeh Bay. Arkansas Davis A. Gates, Little Rock.

Execu- tion of Volstead Act. WAIT ON SUPREME COUNT Hovonno Collector in Provi-denc- o ' See's Bim Lifted flcforo End of AVcclc. Special Despatch to Tnr StN. , Pkovidknck, Nov. 19. Tho atay Issued hy the United States Circuit Court of (.Appeals In Boston against tho oxecutlon of Judge Arthur I Brown s Injunction forbidding enforcement ot thd Volstead act, caused wartime prohlbit'on to be reestablished here and put ta stop to the sale of per cent. beer. Police Commissioners nnnounccd that they would' assist Federal ofllcers to en- force tho national prohibition act, and most of the breworles and saloons closed their doors as soon as they learned of tho decision of tho Circuit Court. Thus Rhode Island's brief wet spell camo to an end. The stay Is to contlnuo during tho pendency of tho appeal or until further orders of tho court. Harvey A. Baker. United States Dis- trict Attorney of Rhode Island, put the legality of the Injunction forbidding en- forcement of tho prohibition act up to the Court of Appeals and the case came before Judges Anderson, Bingham and Johiuon In Boston. Ip granting tho staying order they based their ruling on the ground that as the question of tho constitutionality of the act Is to havo a hearing before tho Suprenie Court of the United States It was best pending final determination of tho question for Rhode Island to abide by the provisions of the measure the same as the rest of the country. In a formal statement Issued late to- day Col. Michael J. Lynch, attorney for the Narragansett Brewing Company, points out that Judge Brown's decision has not been overruled, but that the Cir- cuit Court has merely stayed tho In- junction without passing upon any of the points raised by counsel for tho brow-crie- s. Boston-- , Nov. 19.-T- he United States f'trcult Court of Appeals y issued an order staying oxecutlon of the pre- liminary Injunction granted hy Judge Arthur L. Brown restraining Federal officials In Rhode Island from enforcing the Volstead prohibition act. Tho order of tho court provides for a stay of enforcement until the Supremo Court gives a decision on an appeal from tHe Federal Southern District of New York In, a similar case, or until the Circuit Court of Appeals takes further action. Tile court, which was composed of Judges Bingham, Johnson 'and Anderson, In n statement Issued with the order said : \On November 13, the district court for the District of Rhode Island. In view nt tho probability that title of tho Volstead act of October 2S, providing for the enforcement of war prohibition, wbuld ultimately he held unconstitutional and' of the Irreparable dancer that would thereby result to the appellees herein, Issued a preliminary In- junction forbidding enforcement of tho act. The case comes before us on the petition of tho appellants made under section 129 of the Judicial code, for the suspension of the Injunction pending a determination, of ,\the appeal, Alvaltfl T7. fl. SniiriMilf. ftntflrf. I \Since this Injunction was granted cases raising the question of the of this act haVe been as- signed for hearing before the Supreme Court of the United States for Thursday, November 20. We are of the opinion that the maintenance of thp status qub pending final determination of this ques- tion requlre us to, stay the enforcement of the Injunction during tho pendency of the appeal or until otherwise ordered.\ The injunction granted by Judge Brown of the Rhode Island Federal court restrained tho United States Attorney and the Internal Revenue Collector of that district from enforcing tho Volstead net. United States Attorney Harvey A. Baker of Rhode Island brought the mu- ter before the Circuit Court of Appeals on a motion for a writ of supersedeas to set aside the Injunction. The motion was opposed at the hearing here yesterday by counsel for the Narragansett Brewing Company of Rhode Island, one of tho orgtnal petitioners for the Injunction. \CRIME CLUB\ FOUND BY ST.

Tho operatives said they went first to tho baseinont of the drug store. They tapped the walls and suddenly camo upon a loose section that swung In on greased hinges, That revealed to them a winding Btalreaso that led mysteri- ously to another cellar below.

The Public Service Commission ruled yesterday against the month oia practice of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company of charging a second fare on the Flat-bus- h nvenuo surface lino from Foster avenue. Tho decision was printed In tho evening newspapers and riots fol- lowed during the rush hours when con- ductors attempted to collect a becond fare. As conductors and Inspectors ejocted rebellious passengers a crowd gathered. Delays caused trolley cars to assemble Hi n long line. There wore n number of scrimmages between railroad employees and pasngers. Men wcro cut and bruised and much damage was done to clothing. Policemen were neutral. They ivfuscd to arrest traction men at the demand of passengers or passengers at l lie demand of trolley mill. With the crowd growing and the cars accumulating, the situation grew serious. There were cries of \Lynch that Inspec- tor.\ The police reserves were called from the Snyder avenue police station. Tho reserves dispersed the crowd but made no arrests. One car held over a hundred passen- gers, all of whom refused to pay a second fare. The car was finally shunted to a siding In Fnrragut road. Tho crew left It and th passengers itarteJ to walk to their homes. Superintendent Morton C. Cornell of the Flatbush avenue ftatlon was in charge for the traction company. Ho said the order of the Public Service Com- mission had not como to him. \We h.ne not received any Instructions ex- cept to throw everybody off who refuses to pay the fare,\ he said. \It Is not my business to knew about court deci- sions and such. It I my business to see that the nickels are collected.\ The order of the Public Service Com- mission was based on two contentions. It was held that In 1S93 tho company accepted an authorization from the Com- missioners of Highways of the old town of Flatbush for an extension of Its Nos-tran- d avenue line on the express condi- tion that a five cent fare should be maintained to Brooklyn City Hall, Brooklyn Bridge nnd tho Eastern Dis- trict ferries from Flatbush. Jt was also held that the company placed Itself un- der section 181 of the railroad law and bound Itself not to charge more than a single fare on Its main lino or any of Its extensions when In 1913 nnd 1916 It was permitted to make extensions In Roeb-lln- g street. Hundreds attended a meeting at tho public school at Glemvood road and East Twenty-thir- d street, Brooklyn, last night, at which the fight against the second fare on the Flatbush avenue line was discussed. Corporation Counsel William P. Burr yesterday obtained a writ of certiorari that will cause the order of tho Public Service Commission authorizing a charge of two cents for transfers In Manhattan and Brooklyn to be reviewed by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court .The order gives the companies twenty days In which to mako answer. BEANS AT S CENTS A CAN START RIOT Pork and beans at 5 ccitts a can almost started a riot at the municipal maiket under the Qucensboro Bridge yesterday. Tho reserves from the East Sixty-sevent- h Street Station had to be called to handle the crowds when the word spread throughout the East Side that the city was disposing of can goods salvaged from a sunken barge at one-ha- lf the usual price charged for navy food. Eggs at the high water mark of 1.1 a dozen In Washington Market and else- where more than made up for any pass- ing cheer Mrs. Consumer derived from tho temporary low cost of beans. And to make It still worse, Mrs. Consumer herself Is blamed for this highest of prices by the egg dealers, who say the public Hill not buy cold storage eggs, although they often are superior to fresh ones. Julius Barnes, wheat director, took a fall out of the H. C. of L. when he an- nounced yesterday that ho would sell pure straight flour made from the finest wheat direct to the consumer at prices which reflect the Grain Corporation's buying price. Mr. Barnes said the total wheat crop this year is 918,000,000 bushels, or more than last year, and In addi- tion to this C7.000.000 bushels were car- ried over from last year. The hour to be sold to tho public will be placed in retail stores tn the larger cities In about three weeks. PRINTERS' HEADS ON WAY. Executive Council Will Trr to Ad-la- st Sctrn Weeks Strike.

MAYOR ASKED TO ACT Washington Heights by Coop - eration Gets Product at 11 Cents a Qunrt. With tho end of the three day milk loycott officials of Community Councils, tho organization which planned tV.o strike, said yesterday that It had been a success. Patrick D. Fox, nt of tho Borden's Farm Products Company, ant I. Eiklns Nathans, secretary of the MUk Conference Board, said that the Bor- den company nnd the Sheffield com- pany, so far ns they knew, had not been affected by tho boycott. They claimed that milk deliveries had not fallen off. Mr. Fox said that he could think of only one Instance, a houBe In Brooklyn, where all the tenants had stopped tak- ing milk. Officials of tho Community Council, however, declared that the purpotie of the utrlke had been achieved, Inasmuch as they had forced the big milk Inter-rs- ti to take notice of their movement and to demand tho thing they wanted a meeting where nil aides would be heard. Whether the boycott will bo removed next week, aa has been urged bv tho members of the council, will be decided nt next Sunday's meetlng Mr. Fox. however, feels that \the at- titude of the consumers In not boycot- ting milk vindicates tho milk companies-stan- that they are getting milk to the consumers nt tho lowest possible cost.\ Milk nt 11 Cents. In eooperntlon with the Community Coumlls the Audubon Council, wltn headquarters In the Washington Heights Public Library, 161st street nnd St. Nicholas avenue, began yesterdny to deliver milk to the homes of purchasers on Washington Heights at 11 centB a quart. Harry Ely, chairman of tho Audubon Council, said that the schemo was made possible through the coopera- tion of the farmers' organizations and the consumers. Plans were being formed, he said, to make tho delivery of pasteurized bottled milk to consum- ers at 11 cents a quart cltywlde. Tho Real Estnte Owners Protective Association has written to Mayor Hylan requesting him to either refer to tho Mayor's committee on rent profiteering or appoint another commutes to look Into the \unnatural profiteering In milk, bread, butter, eggs, fish, meat and other necessities of life.\ Declaring that the rent profiteering commlttoe has done so well In righting wrongs perpetrated by landlords, the real estnte association believes that tho committee might be able to solve tho food question to an appreciable degree. The Mayor has not as yet answered the letter. The milk hearing was resumed yester- day morning In City Hall by the fair prlro milk committee. Nell H. Stromo of Waldcn. N. Y.. councillor of tho New York Federation of Agriculture, said that he thnuslit the solution of the milk problem would be to secure a steady flow nf good milk Into New York. All that was necessary, he said, was to In- sure the farmer a steady, uninterrupted market for his milk a thing which President Cooper of the Dairymen's League had failed to do. Cooper I Dlnmcd. \I do not blame the dealors for' the high price of milk.\ said Mr. Strome. \I blame Mr. Cooper, and I know that ewry farmer blames him, too. He Is re- sponsible for the high prices.\ When asked why the farmers did not remove Mr. Cooper. Mr. Strome said tha Mr. Cooiier controlled tho stock In the Dairymen's League, which Is a cor- poration organized under New Jersey laws and was not removable. Federal Food Administrator Arthur Williams said that tho system of milk distribu- tion was responsible for waste. He claimed that the distributers were re- ceiving a margin of profit of less than half n cent. Tho deliver' of milk at apartment house doors, while desira- ble, Mr. Williams said, was an expen- sive luxury. He urged tho creation cf a milk com- mission, and said that New York should be zoned off, and that Instead of four- teen or more milk companies serving the city, two or three would bo suf- ficient. Much Interest was felt In the report of Arthur T. Turner, milk lnvostlgator for the Health Department, who has been working on the milk situation in Philadelphia. \Grade B milk Is now being sold In Philadelphia for fourteen Centa a quart delivered at tho doors, and pints are de- livered for eight cents,\ he said. \Their grade A milk Is delivered for sixteen cents a quart, and pints are ten cents.\ Mr. Turner said that In Philadelphia, ' where they had no labor unions among milk drivers, the drivers received 11 pr cent, of their sales, am' Med from MO to $T0 a week, de' ng twice aa much milk as the N .. ork drivers. T. E. Mllllman, manager of organi- zation of the Dairymen's League, ad- dressing a community council meeting last evening In Public School No. 7, said : \The farmer Is getting practically 7a cents per quart for his milk this month. Ho is producing at a figure actually be- low j the bare costs of labor, feed, Inter- est, I depreciation and maintenance. He looks cityward to find a solution nnd asks tho consumer whether organization by city dwellers may not meet organiza- tion by producers.\ BORDER PLANTS SOLD.

Unrest In tho United States and the mounting cost of living was laid without qualification at the door ot tho labor unions yesterday in a speech by Will- iam H. Barr, president of the National Founders Association, at a convention of tho atsoclatlon, which Is bolng held In tho Hotel ABtor. Tho association Is mado up principally of tho heads of iron and steel foundries, but takesln as well a large membership representing every phase of metal mak- ing and manufacturing. About 700 of Its members have come to New York to nttend the present convention, which Is tho twenty-thir- d annual gathering of tho association. In his Bpeech yesterday Mr. Barr said: 'Wo have Indeed reached a period In tho history of our country, critical not alone for Industry, but for our very in- stitutions. Manifestly It Is our duty to help enlighten the public concerning tur- bulent Industry by a careful analysis of the situation and a fearless presentation of tho salient facts regarding it \The serious cloment In tho situation Is the nttltude of the militant labor unions. A few years ago we did not class them as radical because there was an element of conservatism which re- strained their aotivltles. To-da- y this conservatism has been abandoned nnd the purpose ot labor unionism la as as that of the organiza- tions which nre admittedly anarchistic Tho lahnr linlnna havfl In recent months Iglven perfect object lessons aa to their radicalism, nut mere is sun u ernl misunderstanding which prevents us from realizing the significance of what Is still In contemplation. \This unfortunate seed was sown in unionism In 1916 when the railroad brotherhoods exercised their power to force through the Adamson law. The brotherhoods compelled affirmative Con- gressional action, and the Inevitable re- sult was. the development of a spirit of arrogance among all unions. The Eu- ropean war made It possible to demand abnormal wages. Government require- ments (made tho employers susceptible, because they did not desire to close their shops, and they granted demands which they recognized were neither economic nor Just. Our entrance Into the war represented tho fruition of this seed of radicalism, and the unions which had pledged their membership to1 pa- triots cooperation with our armies In Europe Immediately utilized the sltua-tio- to promote their own Interests. \Our members, Imbued with trutr American Ideals, should go home from this convention prepared to give all possible time to the promotion of Amer-Icanlu- Our great Republic was not created by accident. It was an act of God. It represents the fulfillment of human desires and longings, it estab- lishes liberty, happiness, opportunity and all that It Is possible for the hu- man mind to conceive. And yet In a,i Intent to further the destruction of this wonderful nation let us realize that seeds of alien insurrection have been sown. Shall we wait for the harvesting of the' crop?\ \ The convention will be In session un- til y at noon. At the aasoclatlon'a annual dinner, which was held last night, the principal speaker was Bishop Charles H. Brent of the Episcopal dio- cese of western New York. MAYNARD ATTACKS DESK WORK AIRMEN Says They Caused Most of Race Casualties. Spedat Detpalch to Ths Sex. Washington, Nov. 19. The desire of several chair officers to become heroes In the recent transcontinental air derby was responsible for the casualties. Lieut. Belvln W. Maynard, \tho flying parson\ and winner of tho race, testified y bofore the House investi- gating aviation expenditures. These of- llcers. despito their lack of flying ex- perience, insisted on entering the race, and being of high rank could not be pre- vented,- Lieut. Maynard said. \Lack of training on the part of the contestants is undoubtedly the cause for some of tho fatalities In tho transconti- nental air race,\ Lieut. Maynard told the committee. 'There were cases of high ranking ofllcers whoso experience ihad been limited to desk work and sta- tistics. When they desired to enter the race' thqy underwent no flying tests be- cause they were senior officers. Junior ofllcers, however, wero tested and their ability to fly determined before they were permitted to enter tho race. \The transcontinental race demon- strated clearly the practicability of an aerial mall or trade route. Before this can be accomplished more and better 'fields for landing should be established. Tho medium diameter of n field should be 400 yards and It should have an open approach from at least ono Bide. \I have driven planes with Liberty motors for more than 700 hours and havo only had one breakdown, that be ing on the race to the Pacific coast when I was forced to land because of a broken cam shaft. With the exception of a few weak points which havo been corrected the DN Is are as good as any foreign planes, and the American DH planes were found from army experience to bo far superior to the same machine of foreign make.\ JURY DISAGREES IN REFORMATORY CASE Superintendent Says Inquiry Will Be Welcomed.

He said the sole question was whether the Carter girl committed the assault with which she was charged. He said the Jurors should not permit their Judgment to bo af- fected by the fact that the girl did not take the stand. Miss Helen Cobb, superintendent at the reformatory, declared yesterday that the Investigation ordered by Gov. Smith was welcomed at the Institution. She said John S.
