BOOZE CONTROL PLAN WILL BE GiVENMRESS Bill to Amend Volstead Act and Make Other Changes Drafted. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Foreign Editor Seri pp*-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Feb. I.—A combination Bwedlsh-Canadian-Amer-ican liquor control plan for the United States may reach a vote at the next session of congress. A bill embodying such plan has been introduced in the house of representatives and referred to the committee of the judiciary, which already has given it an initial hearing. The write understands the chances are good that eventually it will be favorably acted upon and reported out. The measure was Introduced by Representative Adolph J. Sabath of Illinois. Dr. Ivan Bratt, a practicing physician of Stockholm, was a daily witness to the ravages of hard drinking. At first he favored total prohibition. But investigation convinced him that any law making a crime of something which millions of citizens of high character honestly consider a legitimate and harmless practice of their daily lives, could not be enforced, because public opinion could not be rallied behind it. So. Dr. Bratt evolved what is now known as the Stockholm, Swedish, or Bratt system of liquor control, i which has made the Swedes a temperate, law-abiding people. Similarly, Dr. fked W. Buck of . Denver told the judiciary committee of the bouse that he had been led to give nis time to the Federal Dispensary Tax Reduction League, which is behind the resolution in question. Temperance, he believes, can be brought about in the United States only by taking the control of I liquor out of the hands of the underworld, where it now is, and putting it back into the hands of the government, where it belongs. The objects of the Federal Dispensary Tax Reduction League, accordirg to its charter, are: 1. *?o abolish bottlegging and other crimes against the revenue laws of the federal and state governments. 2. To war against the return of the saloon in any form. 3. To seek to have the law modified to include punishment of tb purchaser of illegal booze as well as its makers and purveyers. 4. To work for adoption of a

Burglar Bit Bv Timet Special FT. WAYNE, Ind., Feb. I. William Murphy, 31, Negro, bit into a wax appie picked up while robbing a home, he has admitted to police. The artificial fruit was found on the porch of a house a few blocks distant from the one where Murphy committed burglary. “One bite of that apple was all I wanted,” Murphy smilingly remarked to officers.

federal dispensary system under which liquors may be distributed on a strictly controlled rationing plan. 5. To press for amendments to the eighteenth amendment and Volstead act to permit the controlled manufacture and sale of wines, beers, and liquors for strictly home consumption in states desiring such a thing. 6. To surround the whole business with enforceable restrictions and subject it to high taxes, half to go to the federal government and half to the state, so that the plan would pay for itself, instead of adding tens of millions of dollars to the already heavy load taxpayers are called on to bear. “A majority, or even a substantial minority, in a state or great city can not be indicted and punished,” Dr. Buck told the committee. “The attempt would mean little less than civil war. “Therefore, the rapidly approaching state of open defiance of prohibition, especially in certain communities, would, unless reversed in time, result ultimately in collapse of law and order and a paralysis of government, with all that such a castastrophe would involve.” INDIANA RAILROAD IN DISMANTLING PROCESS Midland Hopes to Salvage 40,000 Ties and Other Equipment. Bu Times Special BRAZIL, Ind., Feb. I.—Dismantling of the section of the Central Indiana railroad, between here and Advance, is under way. The railroad known as the Midland, and also as the “Mudsocker,” has had a stormy history, much of its difficulties being due to efforts of its owners to cease operations. These efforts were strongly fought by residents of towns served by the railroad. Out of the dismantling, the railroad hopes to salvage considerable equipment, including 40,000 ties and several miles of steel rails. Even drain tile along the right of way is being dug up.
